SCP-5050-EX</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Explained</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Under absolutely no circumstances is this object to be designated anything other than Explained. Any effects which might appear to be caused by SCP-5050-EX must be investigated fully to determine their true cause. Attempts to prematurely attribute anomalous effects to SCP-5050-EX will be met with discipline up to and including termination of employment.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-5050-EX is a 43 year old Hispanic male individual named James Garcia. SCP-5050-EX's primary occupation is as a stage magician/entertainer, and originally possessed no inherent anomalous qualities. However, due to the presence of SCP-5050-EX-1, SCP-5050-EX's typical stage routines have the byproduct of becoming anomalous <em>ex post facto.</em></p> <p>SCP-5050-EX-1 is a humanoid entity with an unknown capacity for reality bending and spontaneous anomaly generation. SCP-5050-EX-1 is not currently under Foundation containment, and has only been directly communicated with on one occasion. SCP-5050-EX-1 is believed to be the origin of SCP-5050’s anomalous interactions.</p> <p>SCP-5050-EX's anomalous byproducts occur upon the conclusion of one of its stage magic routines. Initially, all routines and effects created by SCP-5050-EX are entirely non-anomalous, and can be replicated using mundane equipment or techniques. However, should any viewer of SCP-5050-EX's performance go 24 hours after the performance without learning how the effect was performed, SCP-5050-EX-1's influence causes all subsequent performances of the trick to become anomalous.</p> <p>SCP-5050-EX has generally seemed unaware of SCP-5050-EX-1's presence, as well as the newly anomalous nature of its tricks following performance. It is not currently believed that SCP-5050-EX is acting in concert with SCP-5050-EX-1, and general research has focused on removing SCP-5050-EX-1's influence over SCP-5050-EX.</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX Performance Log:</strong> The following is an abridged list of SCP-5050-EX performances, as well as explanations for how each trick was performed.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Name:</strong> <em>The Amazing Rabbit out of a Hat!</em></p> <p><strong>Original Routine:</strong> SCP-5050-EX procures a rabbit (<em>Oryctolagus cuniculus</em>) from a top hat.</p> <p><strong>Solution:</strong> None found. Routine was performed prior to Foundation intervention.</p> <p><strong>Outcome:</strong> The hat used in the routine possesses an anomalous portal to an unspecified dimension that is entirely populated by non-anomalous members of the <em>Leporidae</em> family. SCP-5050-EX can withdraw an unknown number of these creatures from the hat; the tested limit reached 129 specimens before testing was terminated due to safety concerns. All other users are unable to access this dimension.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Name:</strong> <em>The Escaping Man!</em></p> <p><strong>Original Routine:</strong> SCP-5050-EX appears to be bound with a series of manacles, chains, and other restrictive equipment, before escaping from them within ten minutes after being bound.</p> <p><strong>Solution:</strong> None found. Routine was performed prior to Foundation intervention.</p> <p><strong>Outcome:</strong> SCP-5050-EX can no longer be restrained by any mundane restrictive tools such as handcuffs, manacles, or rope. Shortly after being bound with such equipment, SCP-5050-EX will appear to have removed them without the notice of any observers, even while under direct surveillance. Containment for SCP-5050-EX was upgraded to include non-physical constraints.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Name:</strong> <em>The Magical Saw Trick!</em></p> <p><strong>Original Routine:</strong> A participant enters into a wooden box, and lays down with their head and feet visible to the audience. SCP-5050-EX proceeds to saw through the midsection of the box and create the illusion that the participant has been bisected, before "reattaching" the two halves.</p> <p><strong>Solution:</strong> Upon examination by Foundation staff, the box has a series of mirrors and removable sections that create the illusion of bisection. No anomalous effects were observed.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Name:</strong> <em>The Bullet Catch!</em></p> <p><strong>Original Routine:</strong> An assistant loads a gun with a bullet in front of the audience. SCP-5050-EX stands behind a pane of glass, while blindfolded. The assistant then aims at SCP-5050-EX, and is seen to fire the gun, which results in a broken pane of glass. SCP-5050-EX then produces the "caught" bullet from its mouth, suggesting that SCP-5050-EX has caught the bullet.</p> <p><strong>Solution:</strong> Originally believed to have been conducted with a fake bullet and blank rounds, a late email from Assistant Researcher █████ ██████████ raised the possibility that the trick was in fact performed with a real bullet that was simply aimed away from SCP-5050-EX. This had the effect of introducing doubt to the explanation of SCP-5050-EX's routine, allowing for SCP-5050-EX-1's anomalous effect to activate.</p> <p><strong>Outcome:</strong> SCP-5050-EX is now impervious to small arms fire. Assistant Researcher █████ ██████████ was given an official reprimand and placed on two weeks of unpaid leave.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1 Interview Log:</strong> Researchers studying similar situations (notably, SCP-████, SCP-████, and multiple historical accounts) were able to raise the possibility of the existence of SCP-5050-EX-1 as the source of SCP-5050-EX's anomalous byproducts. Utilizing a Class A Esoteric Capture Chamber, researchers were able to isolate SCP-5050-EX-1 shortly after one of SCP-5050-EX's performances. Lead researcher Dr. Julio Marquez conducted an interview with the entity.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Begin video transcript. SCP-5050-EX-1 appears in the form of a male human, indeterminate racial origin, and between the ages of 20-30. SCP-5050-EX-1 is seen to visibly struggle against the confines of the Esoteric Capture Chamber.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Good evening.</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> Oh, it's one of you. I wondered when you'd finally notice me.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Indeed. One of the Moũsai, I presume.</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> Ahhh, a student of history! Charmed to meet you. Didn't know that any humans still knew of us.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Some of us are lucky enough to have a job where it's our responsibility to know you. Let's cut to the chase-</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> Certainly. I'm busy too, you know.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Why are you doing this? Why are you changing his performances? Don't you think that's a bit irresponsible?</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> Irresponsible? You wound me, sir. This is just an artist at work.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> You don't think his tricks are getting the wrong kind of attention?</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> A trick is something a whore does for money, doctor. This is art. And as your kind is fond of saying, all publicity is good publicity.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Even if it harms people? You don't see how that saw trick could have gone wrong?</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> Ahhh, but art is meant to be dangerous, provocative, a bit exciting, you know? Where's the excitement without a little danger after all? The best art gets people's attention, and that is exactly what sweet James asked for.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> What do you mean?</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> You know, he prayed for help. He wanted to be a better magician; the kind who would make tricks that no one else could replicate. He didn't know who was out there listening, of course, but he got it.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> And so you gave him a hand.</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> How could I not? He was desperate, and so I did it at first for fun; why not see a mortal do something crazy? But somewhere along the line…it changed.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Explain.</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> James is a true artist. He really dedicates himself to his craft. Is it his fault he was born mortal and mundane? I came to admire his work, his ethic, and his ingenuity. And then I started admiring…other things.</p> <p><em>SCP-5050-EX-1 looks in the direction of SCP-5050-EX's containment chamber and sighs.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Marquez:</strong> Oh boy.</p> <p><strong>SCP-5050-EX-1:</strong> He wanted the attention and for people to notice him. Well they did. Maybe one day….he'll notice me back.</p> </blockquote> <p>Following this, a structural failure occurred in the Esoteric Containment Chamber, at which point SCP-5050-EX-1 disappeared from sight. No further attempts to capture SCP-5050-EX-1 have succeeded.</p> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-5050-ex">SCP-5050-EX</a>" by weizhong and CityToast, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

An individual claiming to be Clark remains active as a senior statesman to the present day.</p> <div> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-5054-EX is the fiction of Charles Joseph "Joe" Clark, who served as the sixteenth Prime Minister of Canada. The source of this fiction is the SCP Foundation. The fiction consists of a) now-abated memories of Clark's life and political activities, b) manufactured documentary records attesting to the same, and c) an individual claiming to be Clark, who remains active as a senior statesman to the present day.</p> <p>Various works of history and contemporary journalism erroneously report that Clark was born in the fictional High River, Alberta in 1939 to the fictional Charles and Grace Clark, educated in history, political science, journalism and law at the fictional University of Alberta and the fictional Dalhousie Law School, and married to Maureen McTeer in 1973. He supposedly succeeded Robert Lorne Stanfield as leader of the federal Progressive Conservative political party in 1976, defeating Liberal Pierre Elliott Trudeau three years later to become Prime Minister. In actuality, Stanfield and Trudeau retained their posts until 1983 and 1984 respectively.</p> <p>Media from the "Clark years" describes an unlikely, ridiculous figure in often unflattering terms:</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p>Joe Clark has a face like a cartoon frog, the gravitas of a pre-pubescent high-schooler, a laugh like a choking Santa Claus and a fake baritone that wouldn't sound out of place coming from… a cartoon frog. The only remarkable thing about the man is his inability to impress himself upon the consciousness of most Canadians.<br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p>— Marjorie Crossworth, <em>Toronto Daily Planet,</em> 12 November 1979</p> </div> </div> <p>The vast majority of said Canadians express confusion, anxiety, or frustration when confronted with the 'existence' of Joe Clark. "Joe who?" is a common refrain; Canadians under the influence of SCP-5054-EX often interpret this as a sarcastic dismissal, and either employ or deplore it depending on their own political convictions.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Addendum 5054-EX-1, Discovery:</strong> SCP-5054-EX first came to Foundation attention at a staff meeting of the Archives and Revision Section of <a href="http://www.scpwiki.com/secure-facility-dossier-site-43">Site-43</a> on 22 May 2019.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Archives and Revision Section Daily Briefing</strong></p> <p><strong>Date:</strong> 22 May 2019</p> <p><strong>Present:</strong> Section Chair Dr. Harold Blank, Senior Researcher Dr. Ignaz Achterberg, Junior Researcher Dr. Geneviève Voclain, et al.</p> <hr/> <p><em>[Excerpt begins.]</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> Alright, anything else?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Voclain:</strong> I wanna bring up the Mulroney thing again.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> <em>Don't</em> bring up the Mulroney thing again.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Voclain:</strong> Look, Harry, we've got conclusive evidence that—</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> I don't care if you've got a whole damn dossier, we're not pursuing your crackpot theory that Canada's seventeenth Prime Minister was a changeling.

He produced a work of political science he had been studying the previous night which seemingly confirmed his claim; further investigation revealed extensive public documentation attesting to the existence of this previously-unknown historical figure. The 43NET database offered up conflicting data sets; files created after 1980 mentioned Clark where appropriate, while files created prior instead described Foundation interactions with the third of four sequential governments under the leadership of Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. It became apparent that the entire Site-43 staff had believed in the existence of Joe Clark until 22 May 2019, at which point this belief subsided except when reinforced by textual evidence. Consultation with other Foundation Sites in Canada revealed that this phenomenon was occurring across the entire nation simultaneously.</p> <p>A thorough vetting of the 43NET database revealed encrypted files belonging to former staff member Dr. Edwin Falkirk, permanently comatose since a containment breach incident in 2003, which when decrypted shed considerable light on the subject. Clark's handler, sworn to secrecy since 1979, provided additional details once it was made clear to her that the masquerade was no longer necessary. After painstaking reconstruction of the following series of events, Archives and Revision has officially reclassified SCP-5054 as Explained.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Addendum 5054-EX-2, 1979 Canadian Federal Election Incident:</strong> The period from 1967 to 1980 saw an unexpected surge of bad actors attempting to compromise the Canadian federal government, particularly the Prime Minister, his cabinet, and the leader of the official opposition. The reasoning behind these acts, and the source of the anomalous materials used to perform them, was unclear. Frequent encounters with malicious memetic compulsion effects prompted the funereally-dignified Progressive Conservative Party leader Robert Lorne Stanfield to wear a pair of long underwear over his suit pants to parliament in 1967, acquiring for him the nickname "Underwear Man," while former Prime Minister John George Diefenbaker was driven to a state of near-clinical paranoia by repeated cognitohazard exposure. The following report, prepared in April of 1979 for Overwatch Command, sums up the challenges faced by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau's handlers stationed at Site-43:</p> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#E2F4FF; padding-left: 16px; padding-right: 16px;margin-bottom: 16px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc0"><span><strong>Operation TRUDEAUMANIA</strong></span></h2> <p><strong>Final Report (Provisional)</strong></p> </div> <hr/> <p>I am pleased to report the anticipated conclusion of Operation TRUDEAUMANIA after ten years.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="Trudeau.jpg" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-5054-ex/Trudeau.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Prime Minister Trudeau, under the influence of a memetic compulsion effect.</p> </div> </div> <p>As a former member of MTF Beta-43 ("Con-Trollers"), my area of expertise is memetic interdiction. I have served as Prime Minister Trudeau's first line of defence from anomalous interference since his election as Prime Minister in 1969. My primary duty has been to protect him from attacks by Groups of Interest, which have been numerous. Despite his low profile as leader of one of the least populous and least powerful nations in the western world, he has been exposed to dozens of life and reputation-threatening memetic effects. Those I was not able to intercept compelled him to perform multiple wild acts of public chicanery, including but not limited to:</p> <ul> <li>attempting to strangle himself with his own necktie;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>sliding down banisters;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>pirouetting;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>swearing in the House of Commons;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>making obscene gestures at the press;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>marrying a woman thirty years his junior;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>demanding that the Canadian people "just watch" him.</li> </ul> <p>As each of these actions ran deeply counter to his aristocratic, autocratic, authoritarian, antisocial personality, Operation TRUDEAMANIA was enacted to prevent public discovery of the existence of memetics. Trudeau's bizarre antics were characterized as a public relations campaign by his Liberal Party to make him more "down-to-Earth" and appealing to the average voter.</p> <p>The Foundation Elections Monitoring Commission expects Trudeau to be defeated in 1979, and our protective efforts will therefore be redirected to the new Prime Minister.<br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p><em>— Agent C. Scrivens, Site-43</em></p> </div> </div> <p>In 1978 the Righting History Institute, a conservative think tank founded by political scientist Ophelia Righting, claimed the Canadian federal elections system was susceptible to tampering. Alleging that Trudeau intended to remain in office indefinitely by rigging ballots, the Righting Institute demanded a parliamentary subcommittee to investigate potential fraud. A remarkably effective leaflet campaign targeting members of parliament resulted in unprecedented private sector consultation; the Geschenk Group, a for-profit political services company headquartered in Montréal, Québec, worked with Elections Canada to develop tamper-proof ballots.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:175px;"><img alt="Geschenk.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-5054-ex/Geschenk.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>The Geschenk Group.</p> </div> </div> <p>The Geschenk Group supplied all voting apparatus for the 1979 federal election. As the ballots were tallied on 22 May, the SCP Foundation Elections Monitoring Commission reported a crisis situation to Overwatch Command. One hundred percent of the vote was being cast for Pierre Trudeau's Liberal Party. Exit polls suggested that thirty-five percent of Canadians had intended to vote for Robert Stanfield, but had changed their minds in favour of Trudeau upon reviewing the ballots. Embedded agents at polling stations conducted exit interviews to determine the cause of this phenomenon; many interviewees stated their own personal beliefs, then described their entirely contradictory actions with no apparent sense of contradiction, then ended the interviews in distress as realization dawned. Examples include:</p> <ul> <li>"I've voted Conservative on every ticket. I would never vote Liberal. Except for just now, where I voted Liberal. I voted Liberal?"</li> </ul> <ul> <li>"I hate that arrogant son of a bitch. He thinks he can do no wrong. He thinks we crowned him king in the last election. I can't wait to see his face when the results come in! Even though I voted for him. Fuck?"</li> </ul> <ul> <li>"My riding always turns out Liberal, but this time we're gonna teach P.E.T. a lesson. Canada's still gonna go Liberal, but not nearly so much. For example, I voted Liberal. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't… wait, <em>what</em> did I just say?"</li> </ul> <ul> <li>"You know Stanfield's campaign slogan? "It's time for a change"? He's absolutely right. I hope Canada votes for him. I didn't vote for him."</li> </ul> <p>Tentative calculations suggested Stanfield would have achieved a minority government without this sudden reversal.<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">The party with the most seats forms the government in a Canadian parliament, but relies on alliances with smaller parties to pass legislation unless it acquires a majority of the available seats.</span> The ballots were studied by the Memetics and Countermemetics Section of Site-43, and found to be infected with a lingering compulsion effect: researchers expressed an immediate desire to vote for Pierre Trudeau, regardless of whether or not they possessed Canadian citizenship or had in fact already voted. An emergency conference by the Psychology and Parapsychology Section submitted the following resolution to Overwatch Command:</p> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#E2F4FF; padding-left: 16px; padding-right: 16px;margin-bottom: 16px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc1"><span><strong>Operation SHADOWPLAY</strong></span></h2> <p><strong>Rationale and Tentative Proposal</strong></p> </div> <p>A memetic compulsion effect has dramatically overturned the Canadian federal election. In cases of extreme memetic compulsion, subjects frequently experience cognitive dissonance on a scale closely approximating the effects of a psychotic break. If incumbent Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau retains his post under these circumstances, thirty-five percent of Canadians are likely to engage in potentially violent antisocial behaviour as they attempt and fail to square their actions with their beliefs. We therefore recommend the SCP Foundation directly tamper with the results of the 1979 federal election and declare Robert Stanfield the sixteenth Prime Minister of Canada.</p> </div> <p>Site-43 Director V.L. Scout dispatched agents to Stornoway, Robert Stanfield's residence as Leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, to brief him on these events and prepare him for his upcoming Prime Ministership. Stornoway's staff exhibited uncertainty when asked where Stanfield could be found; several claimed to have never heard of an individual by that name. An individual matching Stanfield's rough physical description was found pacing his office, exhibiting signs of memetically-induced distress. Agent C. Scrivens, recently returned to MTF Beta-43, was first on the scene.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Investigation Log Transcript</strong></p> <p><strong>Date:</strong> 23 May 1979</p> <p><strong>Investigating Agent:</strong> C.

Do you think mister… Stanfield, has been made memetically unmemorable? We're having trouble recalling his name, here.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Yeah, I've looked in on him a few times and I can't be one hundred percent sure it's him. Definitely feels memetic. But I wasn't going to vote Conservative in the first place, so who knows?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Well, proceed anyway. Do your best.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Always, sir.</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens enters the bedroom.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Mister… Stanfield?</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> What?</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Robert… Stanfield? Leader of the opposition?</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> That <em>sounds</em> correct. Yes. I think so?</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> I'm with Elections Canada. There's been outside interference with the ballots.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> Oh, dear. Do you know who did it?</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> No, but we <em>do</em> know that Canadians won't stand for it if they know the truth. It'll drive them crazy.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> Well, we can't have that. What should we do?</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Pierre Trudeau cannot remain Prime Minister of Canada.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> Of course not. That's what I've been saying for months! Even though I voted for him.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> We need you to take office instead.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> I voted for him.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Mr. Stanfield?</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> <em>I</em> voted for him. I voted for Pierre Trudeau in my own election. I lost my own seat.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Sir, listen to me. That didn't happen. There was…</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens sighs.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Communist agents infiltrated Elections Canada and tampered with the ballots. They used subtle mesmerism to convince Conservative voters to vote Liberal.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> Don't be absurd. That's preposterous. Is this some kind of joke?</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> You're the next Prime Minister of Canada. If you don't take office, and soon, there's going to be trouble.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> How can <em>I</em> take office? I'm not even a politician.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Come again?</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> I don't know why you're coming to me with this problem. I'm nobody important. Would… would you believe, I can't even remember who I am right now myself?</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens rubs his temples.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Sir, please come with me. Your country needs you.</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> I don't know where you're getting this conspiracy theory nonsense, son, but the people have spoken. The other guy, whoever he is, is out of luck. Canadians still love Trudeau, God help them.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> One hundred percent of them, though?</p> <p><strong>Stanfield:</strong> Well, the man has nice suits.</p> <p><em>[Log ends.]</em></p> </div> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:240px;"><img alt="Stanfield.jpg" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-5054-ex/Stanfield.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Three potential Robert Stanfields.</p> </div> </div> <p>While Scrivens spoke with the suspected Stanfield, his partner recovered anomalous correspondence between the opposition leader and the Geschenk Group; analysis revealed memetic effects preventing the formation of the concept of Robert Stanfield as Prime Minister, the recognition of Stanfield <em>as</em> Stanfield, and recognition of the name "Stanfield" to the point where it was impossible to properly research his personal characteristics without the aid of computer technology which had not, as yet, been invented.</p> <p>The individual Agent Scrivens had spoken to was briefly taken into custody, but could not by any means be disabused of the notion that he had legitimately lost the election. Multiple additional potential Stanfields were also taken into custody and tested, to no avail.</p> <p>While this testing was carried out, Agent Scrivens conducted interviews to determine whether Conservative voters could be convinced that they had, in fact, voted for Stanfield rather than Trudeau. The results were less than promising; Agent Scrivens concluded that propping up Stanfield would exacerbate rather than relieve the cognitive dissonance. Responses included:</p> <ul> <li>"That's a made-up name."</li> </ul> <ul> <li>"Who?"</li> </ul> <ul> <li>"Underwear Man?!"</li> </ul> <ul> <li>"I don't know who that is, but he looks like an undertaker."</li> </ul> <p>The Archives and Revision Section began extensive investigation of the Geschenk Group and the Righting Institute. They were found to be bankrolled by Austrian immigrants residing in the Canadian capital of Ottawa; MTF Beta-43 determined that their stated street addresses did not correspond to any existing structures. Furthermore, documents attesting to either group's activities before 1979 were found to have been forged. A Section meeting was called to prepare a recommendation.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Archives and Revision Section Daily Briefing</strong></p> <p><strong>Date:</strong> 23 May 1979</p> <p><strong>Present:</strong> Section Chair/Site Director Dr. V.L.

Alright. And what do we know about them?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Falkirk:</strong> Nothing.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> It can't be <em>nothing.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> Well, we know what the name means.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> What does the name mean?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> "Geschenk" means "gift" in German.</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Please say that again.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> What?

The <em>giftschreiber,</em> the "poison writers," are an Austrian memeticist society responsible for numerous violent acts in the seventeenth century before their suppression in 1645.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> In retrospect…</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:175px;"><img alt="Geschenk.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-5054-ex/Geschenk.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>The Geschenk Group.</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Yes, Iggy?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> That flag in their logo.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Falkirk:</strong> Oh, hell.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> What?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> It's not a rotated Canadian flag.</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Falkirk:</strong> It's an <em>Austrian</em> fl—</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Yes, Edwin, we all see it now.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> Actually, should we even be look—</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> CHRIST.

As PoI-382 was technically a capture-on-sight target, this meeting was kept out of official records until sanction was retroactively granted by the O5 Council in 1980. Zwist and Scrivens met at a supposedly abandoned rowhouse in Toronto, Ontario.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Interview Transcript</strong></p> <p><strong>Date:</strong> 24 May 1979</p> <p><strong>Investigating Agent:</strong> C.

Sit down.</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens sits on the stoop beside Zwist.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> You've been a doctor, though. Several of them: Dr. Scoffield, Dr. Bromide, Dr. Braun. And you do sell medicine. I've read the file for <a href="http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-5382">5382</a>.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Well, either you were speed-reading, or your file needs updating. My work has nothing to do with medicine. I'm a writer.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Yes, I know. You create memes that cure a disease. A disease carried by the English language.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Not just the English language, but yes. A disease I created, accidentally, a long time ago. In my youth. In my ignorance.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Is that why Dr. Scout wanted me to meet with you? Did you have something to do with the election? Did you… create another disease?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> No, I didn't create a disease that makes people change their votes. This is something much simpler, and something much worse. Much more difficult to correct. What do you know about the <em>giftschreiber?</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Not a lot. I've read Dr. Scout's paper on them; they made weaponized memes for the German army in the Hundred Years' War, and they all died.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> It was the Thirty Years War, and they didn't all die. Not all of them. You have to understand, the powers they have, the powers <em>I</em> have, they're inherently… wrong. They're immoral. We compel people to do things against their will. We set our will against everyone else's, and ours always wins. What kind of practitioner does an art like that attract?</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> So, they were <em>bad</em> writers.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Very funny. Yes, they were bad writers, in every sense of the word. Compared to my order, the <em>schriftsteller,</em> the <em>giftschreiber</em> were apes banging on a keyboard that hadn't been invented yet. I could write you a poem that would make you re-think your whole approach to romance, or commerce, or even the simple process of breathing, if I wanted to; they made banners that made men catch fire. They always outnumbered us; abilities like that naturally attract the wrong sort of person. The only saving grace is that selfish, opportunistic, sadistic people don't generally work well together. They were lone wolves, making vague individual gestures to a vague destructive cause, all across Europe. Until the Bavarian army brought most of them together.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> But not all of them.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> No. Some of them survived the war, and they trained apprentices. They honed their craft.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Have you ever trained apprentices?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Once or twice, in special cases. But in general I think the world would be much improved if abilities like mine ceased to exist. I've only hung on these past few centuries to clean up after myself, and to find out if the <em>giftschreiber</em> still pose a threat to humanity. I honestly didn't think they did, until this happened. They were never an organization, before now, so I could never destroy them…</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> …before now.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Sorry, no. I realize the sentence symmetry was leaning that way, but.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> So, Dr. Scout thinks the <em>giftschreiber</em> rigged the election.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> What Vivian thinks is almost always correct. They definitely did rig the election; trust me on that, <a href="http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5813">I've interfered with elections before</a>. I've seen the ballots, in any case, and I was barely able to resist the effect myself.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> So, you voted Conservative?</p> <p><em>Zwist laughs.</em></p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> I've lived too long to be that backward, agent. I voted my conscience. It just happened to align with what the ballots wanted.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Yeah, I would've voted NDP, but I was on a stakeout at the time.<span class="fnnum">.</span><span class="fncon">The New Democratic Party is the most outwardly socialist of Canada's major political parties.</span> So, why are they finally so organized after all these centuries?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> They learn. If the past forty years have taught humanity anything, it's that organizational evil is much more effective. If you can put aside your differences to work at one or two really reprehensible things you all agree on, you can get a lot accomplished. The great triumph of fascism has been to show selfish people the efficiency of a common cause.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> I have a very hard time believing that their common cause is "fuck Canada." We're just not that important.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> They have something to gain from this. But that doesn't really matter, in the short term.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Because whatever it is, it's bound to be terrible, so we need to stop them. How?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> To begin with, we fix this election disaster. But I don't think you're going to like my solution.</p> <p><em>[Log ends.]</em></p> </div> <p>Agent Scrivens returned to Dr. Scout with a detailed list of suggestions for stop-gap measures to hold off the inevitable. Dr. Scout reviewed the suggestions, workshopped them at Archives and Revision, and presented the following revised and completed proposal to Overwatch Command on 24 May:</p> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#E2F4FF; padding-left: 16px; padding-right: 16px;margin-bottom: 16px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc2"><span><strong>Operation SHADOWPLAY</strong></span></h2> <p><strong>Situational Summary and Action Items</strong></p> </div> <hr/> <p><strong>Preamble:</strong></p> <p>WHEREAS a hostile Group of Interest has interfered with the 1979 Canadian federal election, and;</p> <p>WHEREAS this interference is likely to result in the complete collapse of the Canadian polity, and;</p> <p>WHEREAS Research and Containment Site-43 will be responsible for ameliorating this collapse, and;</p> <p>WHEREAS Research and Containment Site-43 is already responsible for managing two (2) potentially K-Class Scenario-triggering SCP objects;</p> <p>THEREFORE a plan of action must immediately be implemented for managing the effects of this interference in a targeted, efficient manner in order that day-to-day Foundation operations and the Veil of Secrecy be maintained.</p> <p><strong>Proposal:</strong></p> <p>Operation SHADOWPLAY will create a fictional politician and declare him the winner of the 1979 federal election. This politician will nominally lead the 31st Parliament of Canada as Prime Minister; in actuality, present Prime Minister Trudeau and the 30th Parliament of Canada will be retained to execute all relevant duties behind-the-scenes. A media blackout will prevent the discovery of this ruse until a means is found to a) reverse the memetic effects of the 1979 ballots, b) create extensive video and photographic evidence of the fictional Prime Minister's existence and activities, and c) memetically insinuate him and the aforementioned material into the minds of Canadians, such that they and posterity will recognize no disjuncture with reality.</p> </div> <p>Ahead of O5 approval, the Archives and Revision Section canvassed the other Sections for suggestions and then began brainstorming a personality, appearance, and background for the fictional Prime Minister.

Of course it wouldn't.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Edwin.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Achterberg:</strong> I mean, in this case he's not wrong. We need this concept to gel with people's preconceptions.

We need a complete logistical breakdown for an indefinite extension of Operation SHADOWPLAY.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Indefinite…? Is this for a contingency plan?

We've hardly ever bothered replacing a government before because the numbers rarely justify it, but they gave us an excuse, and you made it work. The apparatus is all in place. We'd be fools to throw it away.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> I didn't know we were allowing democracy to exist because of the <em>numbers.</em></p> <p><strong>O5-8:</strong> Democracy has always been a numbers game. There's no practical reason for us to relinquish control now. In retrospect, Canada never needed its own government in the first place. It's only a few million people.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> Twenty-four million, and with respect, sir, I think this is the wrong play.</p> <p><strong>O5-8:</strong> Aren't you the one who's always complaining about federal interference? There's no federal interference anymore, Vivian. We <em>are</em> the federal government.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Scout:</strong> As a stopgap measure only. We don't intrude on normalcy, we maintain it.</p> <p><strong>O5-8:</strong> You're splitting hairs. It's not like this is a new idea; we've only rejected it in the past because it's too difficult. We'd never be able to control a larger government, or falsify an election in a real world power, but Canada is small potatoes. Who knows? If this works out, it might be a gateway to something more ambitious in the future.</p> <p><em>O5-8 hands Dr. Scout a dossier.</em></p> <p><strong>O5-8:</strong> Look at these financial reports.

After an educational crash course from Archives and Revision, Agent Scrivens accompanied Zwist to the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Royal Ontario Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and the Beaverbrook Gallery. He tutored Zwist on Canadian landscape art, joined him in consultation with indigenous elders, and attended lectures with him at seven Canadian universities on topics ranging from architecture to food to political science.

They tampered with the Elections Canada logo, which was <em>on</em> the ballots.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> That's right. They took your symbol, and they made it <em>their</em> symbol. Very simple. Beneath them, if we're being honest; I could've done a much better job in the 1630s, if we'd had elections back then.</p> <p><em>Zwist shakes his head.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> So, what. Elections Canada needs to change its logo now?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> No, the effect has already abated.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Alright, but the damage is done. What're you going to do to fix it? The same thing? Meme up the logo, send out a post-election survey, get everyone to look at it again?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> What is this, amateur hour? That would be terribly ineffective. The attack might have been crude, but it affected every single voter in the nation. Nobody fills out surveys, conversely.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Alright, so we think bigger. You're supposed to be some kind of wizard with this stuff, right? Can you… infect symbols at a distance, all at once instead of individually? Weaponize, say, the Canadian flag, so that everyone who looks at it forgets about the last election?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Still not enough. <a href="http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5859">That sort of thing</a> has been tried before, and it doesn't really work.

I'm going to show you all a higher class of meme.</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens nods, then freezes.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Explain.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> It's very simple. I'm going to try to replicate, experimentally, what I did in error so many centuries ago, on a grander and more targeted scale. I'm going to infuse the Canadian <em>zeitgeist</em> with the concept of your imaginary leader, so that everyone who understands what it is to be Canadian will know him to be real.</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> You're going to put Joe Clark… into the concept of Canada.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Essentially.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> And that's going to work? Indefinitely?</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Nothing works indefinitely. I daren't risk pouring too much of myself into this. I don't want another linguistic disease, and I can't risk shuffling off the mortal coil with the rest of my work left undone. But a short effect, something on the order of half a century… that much I can manage, I think.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> That's short, huh? I guess it would be, to you.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> It's going to be a very strong effect, and it's going to work on <em>everyone.</em> I'm going to put a little extra <em>oomph</em> into my magic, and make the <em>giftschreiber</em> lose their focus on Canada at the same time. You're all going to lose the thread together, unfortunately… you'll have to prepare a select staff to liaise with the shadow government, make absolutely certain their memories remain intact, and you'll also want to nominate someone to keep a complete record of the true course of events, plus one more someone to keep tabs on our fictional fellow. You're all going to forget that Joe Clark never existed, and you won't remember again until the new millennium when it won't even matter anymore. By the time people have believed something for four or five decades, it's functionally true.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> This is absurd.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> It gets worse. It isn't enough to convince them that the figure of Joe Clark has been, and remains, Prime Minister. That he won the election, that he rose through the ranks of his party the usual way. They need to be convinced that a real person, in the real world, <em>one</em> real person, is Joe Clark. The concept needs an anchor.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Okay…</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> It needs to be someone who understands the character. It needs to be someone who's dedicated to the cause the character was created to serve. And it needs to be someone I know well. Very, very well. Or I won't be able to make this happen.</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens nods. He looks down at his notes. He looks up at Dr. Zwist. He nods again, slowly. He opens his mouth.

You were making a profile on <em>me,</em> Agent Charles Scrivens, fucking stupid Canadian stupid ASSHOLE, expendable Chuck the chucklefuck. You planned this from the start.</p> <p><em>Zwist shakes his head sadly.</em></p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> The field trips have been important. I need to truly <em>feel</em> this place in my bones, whatever passes for the soul of this nation, if I'm going to change something so fundamental as its <em>zeitgeist.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Yeah, that's the hard part, right?

You want to force me to talk like a little kid in big boy pants for the <em>rest of my life.</em></p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Agent Scr—</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> I do <em>have</em> a life, you asshole! I've got a house, and a cat, and I… I was going to ask… But none of that matters to you, does it? You set me up for this from the get-go.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> What I do isn't simple, Agent Scrivens. It takes a long time to wrap my mind around it. And I make mistakes. I wasn't going to tell you my plan until I was certain it would—</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens kicks the wall, leaving a sizeable scar in the plaster.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Horse <em>shit.</em> You're roping me into this on purpose. You set this up with Scout. I do everybody's scut work, I fall on the grenades for assholes like Trudeau, I get run off my god-damn feet managing every last angle of this <em>farce</em> and then when I'm good and used up, I get turned into a god-damn caricature.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> The character is the caricature, Agent Scrivens. You're the artist who brings him to life. Who brings life to all of us.</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens snatches up his chair and slams it onto the floor beside Zwist's.

Explain to me why it's so god-damn important that Canada, Canada, CANADA, doesn't fall the fuck apart.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> I have only my suspicions.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> Well, pass them on! Tell me. Make me suspicious too. It's my job to be as suspicious as possible.</p> <p><em>Agent Scrivens pulls at his own hair.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> If I'd been more suspicious, I wouldn't be in this mess.</p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> My people, the <em>schriftsteller,</em> were taught their craft long ago. Our first teacher was cruel. He was fickle. He was dangerous. We broke from him, and were the better for it. The <em>giftschreiber</em> never did. They have paid the price, and reaped the reward.</p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> More cryptic bullshit.

They can't destroy you outright, but they can tear your country apart, make the land you live under uninhabitable, force you to fight so many fires that they'll be able to march right in and take what's theirs, if it's down there.</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Scrivens:</strong> This is just the excuse. You're feeding me a line, and you expect me to just swallow it whole and… and… become a <em>fucking conservative</em> before I've even gone senile. You're a liar. You're a <em>liar.</em></p> <p><strong>Zwist:</strong> Yes, I am. I've lied to too many people for too long to ask you to believe me.

Extensive experimentation by the Archives and Revision Section revealed that PoI-382 had fully integrated the person of Joe Clark into the conceptual category of "Canada." The parliamentary footage heretofore prepared was released to the public, and its memetic effects were immediate: Canadians instantly formed memories of having seen Agent Scrivens in his role as Joe Clark over the preceding six months. Live broadcasts of parliamentary proceedings resumed as per usual in October, as Agent Scrivens was now fully capable of inhabiting the role of Joe Clark full-time.</p> <p>In December of 1979, however, Dr. Falkirk submitted the following report to the O5 Council.</p> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#E2F4FF; padding-left: 16px; padding-right: 16px;margin-bottom: 16px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc3"><span><strong>Operation SHADOWPLAY</strong></span></h2> <p><strong>Situational Summary and Action Items</strong></p> </div> <hr/> <p>Agent Scrivens is acting dangerously off-script, and the memetic effect preventing us from fully focusing on his activities or recalling his prior occupation is making it difficult to rein him in. His assigned handler is no help at all; it was an obvious mistake to select her from among his MTF colleagues.</p> <p>While we have repeatedly stressed to him the importance of a farcical-but-competent performance, Scrivens often chooses to act either directly against the interests of his party, in flagrant disregard of present circumstances, or against the political calculus provided by Site-43.

Hurried amendments to Operation SHADOWPLAY resulted in an abortive attempt by Foundation operatives to rig the election in favour of the Progressive Conservatives; these operatives were non-fatally neutralized by memetic attacks at ballot production facilities and polling stations. While <em>giftschreiber</em> involvement was obviously suspected, the election proceeded as normal without further interference by any organization, returning a new Liberal administration under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. One final round of amnesticization removed all traces of the shadow government's activities.</p> <p>Agent Scrivens officially cut ties with the SCP Foundation following the election, but remained a member of Canadian parliament as Joe Clark. He engineered his own removal from the leadership of his party and became instead an active member, promoting liberal causes within the Progressive Conservative ranks. He initiated humanitarian relief for Ethiopia, denounced apartheid, encouraged the immigration of refugees to Canada and strongly opposed neoconservative elements in the party even after his retirement in 2004.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Addendum 5054-EX-3, Aftermath:</strong> Mistrustful of Dr. Scout's motives due to his affiliation with PoI-382, O5 Command ordered that Dr. Falkirk be fortified with a permanent schedule of high-effect mnestics and made the keeper of all data pertaining to SCP-5054-EX, that he might reveal it to his colleagues upon the diminishment of Zwist's memetic effect. Dr. Falkirk's unfortunate accident prevented this, and it was not until the effect expired entirely that the files were discovered and decrypted.</p> <p>The initial rediscovery of the SCP-5054-EX effect led to hurried attempts by Archives and Revision to a) determine why Joe Clark had been forgotten, and then b) suppress knowledge of Joe Clark when it was determined that he had never existed. These activities were terminated upon the reconstruction of the true events of 1979-80.</p> <p>To complete the SCP-5054-EX file, Joe Clark's handler Maureen McTeer invited Dr. Blank to visit her home and interview her husband.

She's been an active agent, an active public figure and the wife of an active anomaly this entire time. She thought about quitting the Foundation, but… anyway. We'd decided that if whoever was keeping the secret didn't spill it by the fifty-year mark, she'd do it for them.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> If the effect hadn't faded, it wouldn't have done any good.</p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> True enough. Well, I know Mo's looking forward to telling everyone at 43 who she's married to. She hasn't done field work since the nineties, and you lot were starting to wonder why a desk worker would need so many doses of mnestics! I don't know what I'd've done if she'd started to forget me, too. She was my last link to Beta-43, and the Site.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> She didn't turn out to be much of a handler, did she?</p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> Well, that's your perspective.</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> Partners in crime, huh? Lucky. I'm still confused about the 1980 election, though, the one you lost. If the <em>giftschreiber</em> were able to infiltrate the ballot-makers and the polling stations, to prevent us from meddling… why didn't <em>they</em> meddle?</p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> It wasn't the <em>giftschreiber,</em> obviously. They'd forgotten all about Canada, remember?</p> <p><em>Scrivens smiles.</em></p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> And who made them do that?</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> Zwist.</p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> I still had connections at the Foundation, and they tipped me off that the O5s were planning to steal the election. I tipped Zwist off. He has very particular opinions about fascism, you know?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> I do know. Who were your Foundation connections? Obviously I have to ask.</p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> Is this Scout asking, really?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> Dr. Scout passed away more than twenty years ago.</p> <p><em>Silence on recording.</em></p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> I honestly thought he'd live forever.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Blank:</strong> He nearly did.</p> <p><strong>Scrivens:</strong> Well, give me a moment.

The web domain name listed on all SCP-5081 packaging is unregistered, and the toll-free telephone number is operated by a laundromat in Saskatchewan.</span> Snacko™ is proud to be owned and operated entirely in the town of Pneuma, Illinois, where our founder Gerald Snacko™ first opened his little confectionary on Dunwich Avenue. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to carry out his vision of making the world a little sweeter, one edible at a time!</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">The design of SCP-5081's packaging contains cognitohazards that serve to attract a viewer's attention when viewed through peripheral vision.</span> Four varieties of SCP-5081 have been documented as of 2019/12/16.</p> <table class="wiki-content-table"> <tr> <th>#</th> <th>BRANDING</th> <th>DESCRIPTION</th> <th>ANALYSIS</th> </tr> <tr> <td>5081-A</td> <td>Fudgey Chocolate Globbernauts</td> <td>Balls of chocolate fudge with almonds</td> <td><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Thaumaturgical icons found imprinted onto the surface of some samples.

SCP-5081-1 instances attempt to pursue a diet consisting entirely of SCP-5081, resorting to other forms of nourishment only when necessary, and becoming highly distressed if denied access to SCP-5081 for extended periods. While instances do not appear to suffer from the expected debilitating effects of this diet, it appears to significantly affect subjects' body chemistry; one instance's skeletal structure was composed entirely of crystallized sugar when discovered, and another instance's skin was a structure resembling potato chips.

Software presumably affected by SCP-516-KO-EX are to be investigated and be found why its size was reduced.</span></p> <p><strong>Revised 13/09/2022:</strong> There are currently no containment procedures for SCP-516-KO.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-516-KO-EX refers to a phenomenon where the average size of software released after 10/09/2022 has been reduced.</p> <p>SCP-516-KO-EX was discovered by a Foundation webcrawler on 12/09/2022 when it noticed a slight but abnormal reduction in global data usage. A subsequent investigation conducted by the Foundation Programming Department revealed an overall reduction in the size of various software products. This initiated a thorough investigation by the Programming Department and the Statistics Department.</p> <p>Results showed that the phenomenon started on 10/09/2022 on programmes made by prominent software developers. Newer programmes released after 10/09/2022 were smaller than their previous counterparts. Additionally, programmes with the latest patches showed an abnormally little or no file size increase, while some even decreased in size. Most developers explained this as a result of newer optimisation techniques. However, it is implausible that all developers would have access to the same technique.</p> <p>What is peculiar is that the amount of the programme's size reduction has a close correlation to the popularity of the software. For example, Microsoft's operations system, Windows 10, used up an abnormally small space compared to previous versions. Similarly, the size reduction of gaming client software seems to be related to the game's user count.</p> <p>The Programming Department and Statistics Department continue to investigate further manifestations and origins of SCP-516-KO-EX.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong></p> <div class="logformat"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h3 id="toc0"><span><strong>SCP-516-KO-EX Reclassification to Explained</strong></span></h3> </div> <hr/> <p>Immediately after this document was registered as an official SCP document, the Foundation Programming Department revealed that SCP-516-KO-EX's manifestations result from an anti-anomaly mechanism inserted in the software by the Foundation.</p> <p>The Foundation Programming Department postponed the announcement of the situation, as information about the development of said mechanism required higher clearance than those of the Programming and Statistics department. Subsequent data comparison proved that the phenomena were caused by a file size reduction in 4135 pieces of anti-anomaly software - made by the Foundation to deter the proliferation of anomalies - that were embedded into civilian software.</p> <p>SCP-516-KO-EX was reclassified to Explained. The Programming department decided to sequentially apply newer encryption and optimisation methods to prevent statistical distortion.</p> </div> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-516-ko-ex">SCP-516-KO-EX</a>" by Aiken Drum, translated by fluxmanfluxman, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

Externally, SCP-5218 resembles a simple metal cube 3m wide, weighing 200kg, constructed of a metallic alloy of unclear composition. All attempts to force open, pierce, or otherwise damage SCP-5218 have ended in failure.</p> <p>All faces of SCP-5218 are flat save for one. All faces furthermore display a metal stamp reading "PROPERTY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ABNORMALITIES."</p> <p>One face contains a simple pull-open metal cabinet that pulls flush when closed, and when opened allows a small space to drop objects into while blocking vision into the rest of the device. Below this is a small rectangular slot akin to that of a vending machine.</p> <p>Upon placing an item or items into the metal cabinet and closing it, allowing the item to fall in, SCP-5218 will vibrate for a varying length of time, generally a few seconds to a minute, and release a single item into the output slot. These items vary in practically every quality save for their size; all are small enough to fit into the slot.</p> <p>Upon SCP-5218's discovery in 2013, it was immediately shipped to Site-19 for experimentation. Over the course of the following month, several tests were performed on SCP-5218. An abridged list of experiments follows.</p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc0"><span>Addendum 5218.1</span></h2> <h3 id="toc1"><span><tt>TESTING LOG</tt></span></h3> </div> <hr/> <div class="addendum"> <p><strong>Input:</strong> A single apple, Red Delicious variety</p> <p><strong>Output:</strong> A military-surplus MRE of the variety used across Foundation sites.

DNA of the blood has been matched to Leon Abrams, a now-deceased former Site-19 security guard. Abrams' body was cremated after death.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Input:</strong> A plastic cube.</p> <p><strong>Output:</strong> A Nokia 3310 cellphone with one number programmed into its directory. The area code correlates to Tennesee, but all attempts to trace the phone number have failed. Attempting to call it simply results in a generic out of service error.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Input:</strong> A single bullet.</p> <p><strong>Output:</strong> An armed grenade. The pin had been pulled but the safety lever had not been released, preventing its detonation. A security team safely disposed of the bomb without incident. The grenade was inscribed with the Foundation logo, but detailed analysis could not be performed for obvious reasons.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Input:</strong> A single dead lab rat.</p> <p><strong>Output:</strong> A MTF-issue Bowie knife. 13 scratches have been carved into the flat of the otherwise-pristine blade.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Input:</strong> A single live lab rat.</p> <p><strong>Output:</strong> Screaming from inside the machine, followed by a Clearance Level 4 keycard belonging to one Dr. Daniel Jackson.

Exactly 7 days, to the hour, after the conclusion of the last test, SCP-5218 began to vibrate for several minutes. Security guards and researchers entered the room to investigate. Upon their entry, several seams in the exterior of SCP-5218 became visible as it unfolded via several hydraulic pistons and hinged arms, revealing its interior.</p> <p>The internal structure of SCP-5218 revealed that all items put into the cabinet slide down a chute into a plastic container of hydrofluoric acid, completely dissolving them. Sensors that detected an item going down the chute would trigger a circuit to release an item from an internal storage container, that would slide down into the output slot. The internal container contained a variety of miscellanous items ranging from children's toys to simple electronics to loose mail. There does not appear to be a correlation between the item put into SCP-5218 and the item outputted by it.</p> <p>In addition, a metal shelf inside held a single placard, with the following text embossed on it:</p> <div class="blockquote" style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc4"><span>FUCK YOU FOR TRYING</span></h2> <h5 id="toc5"><span>By Rami Salman</span></h5> <p>Three words and I can waste your entire month.</p> <p><strong>· <em>ARE WE COOL YET?</em> ·</strong></p> </div> </div> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-5218">SCP-5218</a>" by Rounderhouse, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

After finding no indicators of anomalous interference, containment teams declared any perceived abnormalities the result of Periwinkle's psychological distress. Periwinkle has since been designated Class-E personnel, and SCP-5257 assigned "Explained" status.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-5257 is a suspected technomantic anomaly affecting Technician Charlie Periwinkle. SCP-5257 is theorized by Technician Periwinkle to cause them to experience a much larger amount of technological glitches and errors than the average user. However, when addressed by Foundation IT Personnel these malfunctions have always been determined to be non-anomalous in nature, often fixed by simply restarting the faulty device.</p> <hr/> <h3 id="toc0"><span><strong>Interview Log 5257-1:</strong></span></h3> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Officer of Record:</strong> Dr. Janice McGill (Chief of IT, Site-140)</p> <p><strong>Subject:</strong> Technician Charlie Periwinkle (IT Technician, Site-140)</p> <p><Excerpt begins></p> <p><strong>McGill:</strong> So, Charlie, you wanted to talk to me about something?

How are you doing today?</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> I'm alright. Just- I don't know, I guess I'm hanging in there.</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> I see. Well, McGill has informed me as to why you're visiting me. I hear you've been struggling with various hallucinations surrounding technology in your day-to-day life? Your alarm, vending machines, automatic doors? Just to name a few?</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> They're not hallucinations. They <em>can't</em> be. They just feel too real, and it's always happening! I didn't see it at first, I tried keeping it to myself, felt silly, but <em>something's</em> going on. I don't know. Do you really think I'm crazy, doc?</p> <p><em>Periwinkle sighs.</em></p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Maybe I am crazy.</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> Now hold on, we don't use words like "crazy," Charlie. Be gentle with yourself.<br/> <br/> <strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Sorry. I mean, I've just been stuck with this for so long, and I've been keeping it to myself, and… I just want someone on the outside to tell me what's wrong.<br/> <br/> <strong>Groebler:</strong> Do you recall how you asked McGill to "Look into" the supposed anomaly afflicting you?</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Yes?</p> <p><em>Dr. Groebler turns his monitor to face Periwinkle. An mp4 file is visible on the screen.</em></p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> Well, she did, and she figured I should be the one to show you this.<br/> <br/> <em>Groebler presses play.</em></p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> At about four fifteen last Tuesday, you reported being unable to walk into the office wing because the automatic door refused to open for you.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>The footage shows Periwinkle walking, then stopping in front of the automatic doors. They open to reveal the office space within, but Periwinkle stays standing there. He lifts his arms and waves them. Another technician walks out of the office and greets Periwinkle, but he doesn't respond. Periwinkle tries swiping his card again, continues dancing in front of the door, and mimes banging on it, but doesn't perceive the door as open. At last, Periwinkle groans and turns back around, disappearing from the camera's frame.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Christ- I- No, you don't understand. I spent thirty minutes trying to get in there. No one came in or out. It was so cold.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> Doesn't anyone else remember this?</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> I'm afraid the footage doesn't lie. You submitted a similar complaint about the vending machines.</p> <blockquote> <p>The next clip shows Periwinkle standing in front of a vending machine. He deposits a $1 bill. A soda can slides into the delivery slot, but Periwinkle doesn't notice it. He waits, then deposits another dollar. Periwinkle does this six more times, before giving a frustrated yell and kicking the machine- then walking away. A coworker appears and picks up one of the cans, calling towards Periwinkle- but he keeps walking away.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> What? No, that can't be it. I-</p> <p><em>Periwinkle rewinds the footage and watches it again.</em></p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> I-I sent complaints to the main office each day for a week. Did-I-I don't understand.</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> McGill and I already checked the system, but found no such record. Did you ever follow up in person?</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> S-Should I have? I just- It was just eight bucks. I figured it wasn't worth the hassle. Oh! But I definitely complained to James and George about it. Maybe they could verify this is something I went through?</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> Do you normally speak with George and James?</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> We have lunch together every day in the breakroom, and we've been friends since orientation!</p> <p><em>Groebler fasts-fowards the video while mumbling to his breath, then hits play.</em></p> <blockquote> <p>Camera monitors the East wing of Site-140's cafeteria. Periwinkle sits in a booth in the back, looking intently at the empty seat in front of him. He then smiles and chuckles, before starting to tell a personal story to no one in particular. One minute in, technicians George Torres and James Nelson enter the frame together. They shoot Periwinkle an odd glance, then sit three booths down from him and start their own conversation. Periwinkle continues talking to empty space for the remainder of the recording.</p> </blockquote> <p><em>Groebler turns back towards Periwinkle, who has his head in his hands.</em></p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> I swear that isn't how things happened.</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> Our perception of the world isn't always as accurate as we think it is. Neither is our memory. But at least we know now what the issue is so that we can work on fixing it.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> T-That has to be fake, right? Are you sure no one's playing a trick on me? I- No way-</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> I doubt anyone would be able to hack our systems and swap out our data with such a convincing replica- let alone do it exclusively to inconvenience you.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Oh god- we're feeding the Basilisk-</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> Charlie, please try to relax. Sit down. Let's talk about it.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Just-Just give me a chance to prove that I'm telling the truth. Something has to be wrong here. Please.</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> What did you have in mind?</p> <p><em>Periwinkle pulls out his phone and dials a number.</em></p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> I-It's one thing if I keep hallucinating machines or whatever malfunctioning. But George and James and I have always been there for each other. They've always held me together, and I-I just want to make sure… I mean, they're my friends. That's all. I don't want to lose them.</p> <p><em>Periwinkle places the phone on speaker. He and Groebler are both silent as it rings for the following 90 seconds.

How are ya?</p> <p><strong>Torres:</strong> Charlie? As in Charlie Periwinkle, the technician that sits three cubicles down?</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> Real funny, Georgie-</p> <p><strong>Torres:</strong> First off, please call me Mr. Torres. Second of all, I'm sort of busy right now. I told you I gave you my number only for emergencies, and this doesn't sound like one. You're crossing quite a few boundaries right now.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> It sort of is one. Some shit is going down, and I just wanted to double-check with you, we eat lunch together every day, right? And last Tuesday we had a movie night in the barracks. You always borrow my colored paper clips since you're a neat freak?</p> <p><strong>Torres:</strong> I'm not sure where this is all coming from, but no- we've never done any of that.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> By the way, I've got Groebler with me right now- this probably not the best time for you to pull this sort of joke.</p> <p><strong>Torres:</strong> I'm dead serious, and I don't know how to make that more apparent. Clearly, you're going through stuff right now, but I'd rather just maintain a professional relationship with you. I hope you get the help you need, but don't call my personal number again.</p> <p><em>Torres hangs up.

Please, just one more chance!</p> <p><strong>Groebler</strong> You're okay. Can you please sit back down? Let's chat about this.</p> <p><em>Periwinkle hesitantly obliges. He sits shaking in his chair, wiping tears away from his face.</em></p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> It seems like you've been under a lot of stress at work here lately, and that's been affecting your social and mental well-being.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> I-I'm not <em>that</em> stressed! I-It's those damn machines again. Isn't this just proof that technology hates me? All of that stuff had to be fake. Something made it up and is just- Please, believe me. Please trust me.</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> I trust you, but you have to be honest with yourself, and you have to be honest with me. I'd like to place you under a 72-hour on-site observation period, just so we can monitor your health and make sure you're safe.</p> <p><strong>Periwinkle:</strong> I-I…</p> <p><strong>Groebler:</strong> I promise you'll be okay. How about I go get someone to escort you back to your quarters so you can get what you need?</p> <p><em>Periwinkle buries his face in his arms.

The O5 council is to begin selecting researchers to investigate SCP-5297’s potential anomalous properties as soon as possible. No copies are to be made of SCP-5297.</p> <p>Access to any part of SCP-5297 may only be authorized by unanimous vote of the O5 council.</p> <p>Because of the sensitive nature of the contents of SCP-5297, any persons who access, read, or conduct experiments upon it are to be amnesticized following their contact with the item. This regulation extends to members of the O5 council.</p> <p><strong>Updated Containment Procedures</strong>: Following the successful conclusion of testing and contact with PoI-5297, the item formerly designated SCP-5297-EX has been destroyed.</p> <p><strong>Archived Description</strong>: SCP-5297 is a 197-page English-language document, double-spaced and printed in grayscale on low-quality consumer-grade white paper. SCP-5297 is loosely held together by several binder clips, and the front and back show substantial fraying and tearing consistent with a lack of care in the document’s storage and transport. Several pages contain illegible shorthand in the margins, and several others contain non-anomalous notation which appears to record a seminar on housing policy in northern Virginia.</p> <p>SCP-5297’s first page contains one line of text: “14tu1818 Administrative Report—Fiscal Year 2019 ROUGH DRAFT EDIT FOR BREVITY DO BY THURSDAY”. The top right corner of the page contains a faded, stamped-on emblem which reads “Property of Fairfax, VA Department of Foundations, Commission 5”. No other identifying information is found on the document.</p> <p>SCP-5297 was recovered by Agent Edward Blackmun in a multi-use office building near the Judiciary Square metro station in Washington, D.C. Agent Blackmun found a rucksack containing SCP-5297 under a table while ordering lunch at a Pizza Uno in the office’s food court. The rucksack had apparently been abandoned by accident, and Blackmun took it upon himself to inspect its contents in an attempt to find its owner. Upon opening the sack and reading SCP-5297, Blackmun contacted his superiors, surrendered the document, and underwent voluntary amnesticization.</p> <p>When prompted for information about SCP-5297, Blackmun simply and exclusively described the document as “a report about the Foundation”.</p> <p><strong>Update—2019-01-15</strong>: Investigation of copies of SCP-5297 by researchers and the O5 council has confirmed Agent Blackmun’s account: SCP-5297 is a report about the Foundation. Specifically, SCP-5297 is a detailed and comprehensive multi-section accounting of the Foundation’s resources, practices, personnel, and containment procedures. Among other things, SCP-5297 contains budget and asset reports on every Site the Foundation operates, budget and asset reports for the Foundation <em>writ large</em>, sections on MTF composition and disposition, personal and professional information on every undercover agent the Foundation currently employs, and multi-page reports on over two dozen SCPs, including several whose documentation is classified at Level-4 or Level-5.</p> <p>The most hazardous section of the report is labeled “Appendix B: Background Checks”. Appendix B contains the results of aggressive investigations into prominent Foundation officials. (The Appendix implies that the listed officials are being checked because they are under consideration for “promotion”.) Appendix B lists forty different persons, including doctors, Site Administrators, Department heads, and every sitting member of the O5 council.</p> <p>Much of Appendix B would not be out of place in a standard personnel file. However, the Appendix also lists extensive and extremely sensitive private information on the profiled persons, including sexual proclivities, childhood and adulthood traumas, familial conflicts, medical information, personal and professional indiscretions, ethical lapses, breaches of internal Foundation rules, undiscovered criminal conduct, [DATA EXPUNGED], and [DATA EXPUNGED].</p> <p>Almost all of this information was previously unknown to the Foundation.</p> <p>Following a multi-party standoff which nearly ended in violent internecine conflict, the O5 council has agreed that they cannot continue to maintain a functional working relationship—much less collaboratively administer the SCP Foundation—while possessing knowledge of the contents of Appendix B. By unanimous vote, the O5 council has voluntarily submitted to targeted amnestic therapy designed to remove their memories of the specific information contained within SCP-5297. All known photocopies of SCP-5297 have been destroyed.</p> <p><strong>Update—2019-03-03</strong>: Both teams of researchers assigned to the object have verified that, despite its charged contents, SCP-5297 is a non-anomalous document. SCP-5297 is inert and unchanging, and it has no memetic, infohazardous, or cognitohazardous properties.</p> <p>SCP-5297 is reclassified SCP-5297-EX. A proposal to re-designate the unknown person, persons, or entities responsible for the creation of SCP-5297-EX as SCP-5297 is pending review.</p> <p><strong>Update—2019-03-14</strong>: By cross-referencing archived security footage with driver’s license photo databases, Foundation operatives identified the original owner of the rucksack containing SCP-5297-EX as Michael Bell, a 22-year-old from Pennsylvania studying pre-law at American University. The O5 council designated Bell as PoI-5297 and dispatched MTF units to his last known place of residence.</p> <p>Upon arrival, MTF units found evidence indicating PoI-5297’s ongoing habitation of the premises, but Bell himself was not present. The MTFs conducted a preliminary sweep of the residence, and Foundation personnel at Site-01 conducted background checks on Bell; neither yielded helpful information. Bell had no criminal record and no apparent connection to the anomalous, and apart from several pirated law textbooks on his laptop, his room contained no suspicious items or contraband.</p> <p>An hour after MTF units gained access to his apartment, PoI-5297 entered the building. The MTF units moved to apprehend him. After a brief conversation, PoI-5297 sent a text message to an unknown person and left the building.</p> <p>Several minutes later, O5-3 received a call on her personal phone from an unknown female who told O5-3 she wanted to “make sure we’re all on the same page.” The call was made from a publicly-listed number owned by the municipal government of Fairfax, Virginia. O5-3 brought the rest of the council onto the call, and they and the unknown female spoke for approximately 20 minutes.</p> <p>Following the call, the O5 council voted unanimously to discontinue investigation into SCP-5297-EX.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-5297-ex">SCP-5297-EX</a>" by Stark Moops, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

Testing of object is permitted for all personnel with approval from Site Director.</span></p> <p><span style="color: red"><em>Containment procedures irrelevant as of 4/7/104, see Addenda.</em></span></p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-5735 is a DVD that appears to be for a movie named "Mystery 32". A post-it note is attached to the disk, reading: <em>"Proof of the impossible, I hope - Xyank"</em>, in black permanent marker. No records of a movie named "Mystery 32" exist. When the DVD is played, subjects report experiencing the movie with all 5 senses, with the sensory input of the main character directly stimulating the viewer's body, save for vision, which is experienced in the same manner as a non-anomalous movie.</p> <p>The movie's plot centers around the life of a blind man, with the uncontrollable ability to create miraculous and mysterious events around him. The movie encourages viewers to experience the movie twice, once with eyes closed, and the second time with eyes open, to further the message of the film, as the man is unable to see the 31 "Miracles" he is responsible for, save for the titular "Mystery 32" occurring at the moment of his death; his sight is restored.</p> <p>Investigation into the properties of SCP-5735 is ongoing, with the hope of assisting in the training of MTF members. Dr. Thaddeus Xyank is currently under investigation, but denies knowledge of the disk or its point of origin.</p> <p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-5735 was discovered at Site 19 on 8/3/18, and was seen manifesting from empty space by multiple guards and researchers. Witnesses frequently described a <em>"Swirling vortex… Three-dimensional hole"</em>, or words to the effect. Foundation security footage corroborates witness testimony, with the disk appearing out of a black, unstable spherical mass.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 1 - 6/11/72:</strong> Due to recent advances in technology, the first full-sensory film, or "Feelie", was released in cinemas. The anomalous effects of SCP-5735 have been found to be identical to the technology employed in this form of media, and as such SCP-5735 has been assigned Explained (Partial) classification. It is still unknown how SCP-5735 materialized at Site-19 on 8/3/18.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 2 - 30/6/104:</strong> E-mail from head of Temporal Anomalies department to Director of Site-19:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>From:</strong> <span class="wiki-email">pcs.noitadnuof.tenpics\|ht4ehtknayXD#pcs.noitadnuof.tenpics\|ht4ehtknayXD</span><br/> <strong>To:</strong> <span class="wiki-email">pcs.noitadnuof.tenpics\|91rotceriD#pcs.noitadnuof.tenpics\|91rotceriD</span><br/> <strong>Subject:</strong> SCP-5735<br/> <strong>Date:</strong> 30/6/104</p> <hr/> <p>So, I'm sure you remember our little mystery film, 5735, yes? Well, the rest of the temporal department and I have been puzzling over this thing recently, since it just came out in cinemas. Long story short: We think we may have sent it back to the past.</p> <p>You've no doubt heard of a causal loop, or the bootstrap paradox, the billiard ball from the future time traveling back to hit itself into the time tunnel yada yada, giving the collected works of Shakespeare to a younger version of the bard, those sorts of paradoxes, kind of an antithesis to the grandfather paradox. Well, we think it's the same scenario here. We've just recently finished our little time tunnel project, so we hypothesize that in the original permutation of this scenario, I or someone else went out and bought a copy of Mystery 32 to send back to the past. The Foundation deems it an anomaly, holds onto it, and we get the same sequence of events that have transpired in this universe over the last 90 years, with this movie giving us the motivation to work on time-travel technology. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Why not just break the loop?" Well, quite simply put we just can't because the loop has already been established. That mythical starting point of our little loop has been and gone, and short of traveling through the 9th dimension we'll never be able to get to the version of reality where we started the loop. We have an obligation to send this movie back and inspire the past Foundation, otherwise our time tunnel will never exist, therefore we cannot send the movie back, and we basically "Break the past".</p> <p>So, I guess what that means is that sooner or later we have to send this baby back. So, why not make it our time machine's maiden voyage? It's strange. My dad used to talk about GG and what he did for the Foundation back then. He was their best temporal researcher, and I get to send him a message through time! I hope he'll realise what it means, that time travel is possible, that time travel <em>into the past</em> is possible. It's like the holy grail of time travel, and my GG's going to get proof! I wish I could write more than what was originally on the sticky note, tell him how he inspired me, hell, even just explain this whole time loop thing to him, but I have to keep the loop perfect. Also, that involves lugging the time tunnel into the Site-19 courtyard so I'll need some strong people to help me out with that. Why the original version of me couldn't have been lazier I'll never know.</p> <p>In the mean time, if you guys wanted a movie night so we can watch this damn thing before it goes back, I'll bring the popcorn. Also I think I can convince Treble to come, even if she is a little unruly. Supposedly it's really good, one of those low budget art-house films that look low tech but are really good. It'll be fun!</p> <p>P.S: If you know anyone who's into antiques, I kinda need a sharpie pen and an old school sticky note.</p> <hr/> <p>Senior Researcher Dahlia Xyank<br/> Head of Temporal Anomalies, Site-19</p> </blockquote> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-5735-ex">SCP-5735-EX</a>" by Researcher Blasko, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

SCP-5737	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <blockquote> <p>Note: The following document is provided for informational purposes only, as no containment protocols have been put into place for SCP-5737. Historically, SCP-5737 has been assumed non-anomalous due to its near-universal presence in humans, and I expect that many will conclude this document with that belief still firmly in place. As the description below addresses an issue of significant personal value to many, discretion is advised when reading.</p> <p>- Dr. Copeland, head researcher for SCP-5737</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-5737</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Explained</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Because of the extensive period of time elapsed between SCP-5737’s occurrence and the present day, as well as the unacceptable risk of any method of ongoing containment causing an MK-Class “End of Human Consciousness” scenario, SCP-5737 is functionally uncontainable. Containment efforts are to focus on minimizing the effects of SCP-5737 expression among extant human cultures via the promotion of humanistic politics and maintenance of containment procedures associated with identified Groups of Interest. The existence of SCP-5737 is to be confirmed only to Level 4 and higher Foundation researchers; individuals without Level 4 clearance who become aware of SCP-5737 are to receive targeted amnesticization.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-5737 is a hypothetical ontological shift, presumptively dated to the Ediacaran period (635-541 MYA), that affected the ancestral Nephrozoan<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> and all descendent lineages. The suite of physiological characters resulting from SCP-5737 permit the emergence of the set of qualia commonly described as “spiritual/religious experiences”. As spiritual or spiritual-like practices have been observed in both <a href="http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-4067">protostome</a> and deuterostome lineages, the influence of SCP-5737 is presumed plesiomorphic<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, and lineages in which spiritual-like practices are not present are hypothesized to have secondarily lost its influence.</p> <p>Due to the extremely widespread expression of SCP-5737 across bilaterian taxa and its universal expression across human cultures, several non-anomalous theories have been developed by civilian organizations as to the origin of its effects. These theories include SCP-5737 promoting social bonding and group cohesiveness, serving as a motivating force for the acquisition of resources and territory in early hominids, and being an emergent property at a certain level of cognitive development conferring no significant fitness benefits. However, the development by the Foundation of the Hume and Akiva scales has allowed accurate analysis of metaphysiological changes in organisms expressing SCP-5737-dependent behaviour, which permitted its anomalous nature to be determined.</p> <p>Human susceptibility to SCP-5737 expression follows a normal distribution, with approximately 15% of the human population considered abnormally prone to spiritual experiences and approximately 10% considered abnormally resistant. Cultural factors explain more than half (55%) of this variation. Additionally, individuals diagnosed with or who meet the criteria for autism spectrum disorder have a significantly higher likelihood of being resistant to SCP-5737’s effects than the general population. Research into the heritability of SCP-5737 susceptibility has proven inconclusive due to heavy confounding from upbringing and culture. In humans, SCP-5737 displays a mild antimemetic quality: individuals frequently express an inability to accurately describe the qualia produced by SCP-5737. Despite this, a number of indices have been developed both by the Foundation and by civilian organizations to estimate the degree of SCP-5737 expression in any given individual<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>. Variability is also observed in emotional response to SCP-5737: while a majority of people (~60%) display no marked emotional response to the possibility of spiritual experience, the remaining 40% are evenly divided between individuals expressing openness and optimism regarding the possibility and those who claim such an experience has or would be significantly distressing for them. Typical methods of inducing spiritual experiences include the use of psychoactive substances, repetitive movements, and the recitation of creeds or songs, although spontaneous ones are also commonly reported.</p> <p>The presentation of SCP-5737 has been most extensively studied in <em>Homo sapiens</em>; however, ethological, paleo-anthropological, and paleontological research has revealed that it presents in similar ways in other species. The following table provides a generalized overview of major taxonomic groups in which evidence for SCP-5737 expression is present either behaviourally or physically: for more information, please see Document 5737-583-X4 (“Validity and Ethology of Behavioural Markers for High-Penetrance SCP-5737 Expression Across the Tree of Life”, by Foundation researchers Dr. T.I. Copeland, Dr. P.W. Goldschmid, and Assistant Researcher A. T. Zhang.)</p> <table class="wiki-content-table"> <tr> <th>Taxonomic Group</th> <th>Behaviour/Documentation</th> </tr> <tr> <td><em>Homo sapiens</em></td> <td>Religious and spiritual behaviour in modern humans has been extensively documented. Approximately 93% of the current human population professes some degree of religious or spiritual belief; among the remaining 7% the majority also report at least one non-contextualized experience that aligns with sensations typical to SCP-5737. The recreational or ritual use of entheogens across diverse human cultures, even those with notable negative side effects, provides further evidence of the social significance placed upon expressions of SCP-5737.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><em>Pan troglodytes</em></td> <td>Ritual behaviour is also well-documented in chimpanzee societies. The emotion-like states, symbolic information transmission, and metacognitive behaviour that are permissive of SCP-5737 expression are extensively evidenced. Pre-death and post-death care, as well as deliberate post-death silence, controlled vocalization, and observation of corpses indicate the presence of a death culture. Ritualized behaviours indicating respect and awe are also frequently directed towards water. At the onset of heavy rains, a “rain dance” is performed involving rhythmic movements, repeated behaviours, and controlled vocalization matching religious rites of <em>Homo sapiens</em>; individualistic spiritual experiences are induced and expressed by behavioural displays and continuous observation resembling obeisance directed towards waterfalls and streambeds. These forms of pious expression are both individualized and normative, illustrating the qualitative nature of SCP-5737 expression.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><em>Homo sapiens neanderthalensis</em></td> <td><em>H. s. neandenthalensis</em> is one of the best-known examples of non-human SCP-5737 expression both among the Foundation and the civilian population. Deliberate burial of the corpses of conspecifics, as well as the provision of grave goods, provide evidence a well-developed death culture. In particular, the inclusion among these grave goods of the bones of other animals and stone and bone items unusable as tools indicates that the metaphysical nature of these things was valued above the physical.</td> </tr> <tr> <td><em>Loxodonta sp.</em></td> <td>Mourning behaviour in African elephants has been extensively documented, and individuals have been observed burying the corpses of deceased members of their kin groups, as well as, occasionally, unrelated animals including buffalos, cows, and humans. Some have been reported to observe the cycles of the moon, bathing preferentially upon the full moon and performing behaviours resembling obeisance, including the waving of branches and focussed observation, in the direction of a waxing moon. As SCP-5737-dependent behaviours act as a positive stimulus inducing or intensifying its expression in other individuals, the conviction with which multiple human subcultures believe African elephants are fully capable of religious and spiritual behaviour serves as an additional indicator of its expression in this genus.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Arthropoda</td> <td>Cognition in arthropods is variable, in part because different arthropod groups display dramatically different social structures. The most developed cognitive abilities seem to be within the Hymenoptera: experimentation on <em>Apis</em> species illustrates the presence of the emotion-like states, symbolic information transmission, and metacognitive behaviour that are permissive of SCP-5737 expression. There is also controversy as to whether recently-translated writings from <em>Pseudomyrmex ferruginea</em><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> illustrate thought processes dependent on SCP-5737 or simply superficially similar. To date, full expression of SCP-5737 has only been observed in arthropod species or races that are themselves anomalous.

During discussions, Initiative representative S. Yilmaz informed Foundation representative Dr. T.I. Copeland that Foundation conjecture regarding SCP-5737 could be useful in contextualizing certain artifacts which the Initiative had contained in 1999.</p> <p>A Berriasian<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> paleontological dig site had retrieved multiple fossils that resembled deliberate engraving and embossing from a fluvial shale deposit and had published images of the fossils in the supplementary data of their preliminary results. Initiative webcrawlers identified potential anomalous activity and the fossils were taken into Initiative custody to be interpreted.

As I progressed in my research, I had been fearing - or hoping for - what felt like the inevitable approach of this day: that something would appear and prove to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the ontological naturalists were right, and metaphysical belief is objectively false. It is an ages-old war: is pure mechanism too cold and comfortless and inhuman? Is any sort of faith just self-delusion? It is clear why knowledge of SCP-5737 was so restricted, even though it bears no unforeseen threat; such a revelation would shake anybody to their core.</p> <p>So what are we, those with clearance to know this, to do? Ought we to doubt any belief we hold that has not been supported by extensive, rigorous, double-blind scientific study? Are we to discount the experience of any feeling that does not have a currently-available and strictly rational explanation? Are we to discount the experience of emotion at all? Such a worldview, although highly conservative and prone to Type II error, would serve as something of an inoculation against the effects of SCP-5737.</p> <p>And yet, it seems a miserable way to live. In consistent doubt of one’s own ability to even perceive the world as it truly is, regardless of understanding. I am not a theologian, nor a ethologist, nor even a psychologist - I am a paleontologist, and have always considered myself somewhat detached from such philosophical questions. After all, the past is unchangeable, and what we have access to is merely a hugely-incomplete record of its physical processes. The mechanistic is the only view through which any kind of study is possible.</p> <p>Yet I can say with confidence that I am not among the resistant to SCP-5737. I have never professed a formal religion, but I have observed things that have taken away my breath, that I have felt myself unworthy to see: escarpments with bedding spanning hundreds of millions of years, that felt like looking down time itself, and acritarchs so perfectly and precisely formed, at such a small scale, that they seemed nearly impossible. Things that seemed very similar, qualia-wise, to the way my more religious colleagues speak of God.</p> <p>We, the Foundation, have since our inception been dedicated to the preservation of normalcy, as defined not in the mathematical sense but by our own, qualitative perceptions of the state of the world. Yet surely a truly scientific approach would make no claims as to normality. As well as we can measure, the anomalous and the non-anomalous exist with equal validity. The belief that there <em>is</em> a normal might not be supported by any other agency, and yet we are all willing to live and die in its name. I have heard that everyone worships something, and the only choice is what: perhaps that is ours. I say this not to condemn, nor to extol, merely to attempt to observe.</p> <p>What would the world have been like without SCP-5737? How much of what we think, feel, value can be attributed to its action? What traces has it left in our millions of years of history - and will it ever degrade? One thing every paleontologist knows with certainty is that his study cannot ever have control groups, or replications, or an <em>n</em> greater than 1; there has only been one history, and evolution winds the clock forwards but never winds it back. I may wonder what another world, and another normalcy, would have looked like until the day I die, and receive no more clarity than I have now.</p> <p>I suppose I will have to be content with that.</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

Plus, this step is too important for me not to be there.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> <em>(shrugs)</em> It's your flight.</p> <p><strong>Weld:</strong> Yes it is. Is there anything else you need me for?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Richter:</strong> There is only one thing left, that would require directorial approval. Will Ms. Neuhaus be amnesticized or monitored?</p> <p><strong>Weld:</strong> Monitored.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> I think Reintegration requires a reason to exempt somebody from amnestics.</p> <p><strong>Weld:</strong> <em>(hurried)</em> Hewlett should know why. Call me later if anything else comes up. <em>(Call ends)</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> I believe he is concerned about the mirror neurons being able to bypass some of the amnestics effects. This would increase the likelihood of her noticing something is wrong, so it would be simpler to choose to monitor from the start.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Richter:</strong> Will the Reintegration Committee handle the monitoring.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> Let me check…yep. That leaves only the re-evaluation as an issue.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> Having someone from this Site give their perspective would be helpful.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> <em>(sighs)</em> It would, but as far as I could check, nobody sees themself responsible for her. Like a lot of older skips, every process with 6192 has been automated. Even the Psychology staff rotates.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Richter:</strong> As is standard with Higher Mental Communicators.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> You don't operate a Site without somebody having a closer look at the humans contained there. I can search through the Site Archive to find who that person is for this Site.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> You <em>could</em>, but we don't have the time for that.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> In that case we'll have to start from zero. Make every test as if she just was contained and compare it to whatever old material we can find.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> What would this entail?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Richter:</strong> From Ms. Neuhaus' file, a brain scan to confirm mirror neuron density and the activity that originally alerted the Foundation of SCP-6192 behaviour.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> …There was no telepathy test?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Richter:</strong> Yes. Although to be fair, the Higher Mental Transcommunicator protocols didn't exist then as they do now.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> That's no excuse. It should have been rectified as soon as the protocol was invented.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> You'll see this a lot when dealing with older skips. Containment Procedures are followed to the letter until no one knows their original intent. Until nobody's left who cares for necessary updates.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> Well, we can rectify that now. So we need a brain scan and a telepathy test.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> Is the brain scan really necessary?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> Well, it doesn't hurt. And it's better to be on the safer side with evaluations.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Hewlett:</strong> Right.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Richter:</strong> I can conduct the scan and the test. I'm familiar with the HMT protocol, we just need to confirm her abilities are in line with SCP-6192-EX, correct?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Vasquez:</strong> Yes, we can go through it now, to see what applies to this case.</p> <p><em>The rest of this discussion is classified under Clearance 4/Higher Mental Transcommunicators.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><End Log></strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p> <p><iframe allowtransparency="true" class="html-block-iframe" frameborder="0" src="/scp-6192-ex/html/59210250d83c8545012bfdbbbaf320a43a3e6dd5-21759414726063250"></iframe><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p> <p>A Correlation of SCP-6192-1-EX to SCP-6192 could be confirmed through a brain scan and a Higher Mental Transcommunicator test.

SCP-6384-A and SCP-6384-B are to be stored in separate low-level biohazard containers.</p> <p>SCP-6384-1 and PoI-6384 are to be contained in separate humanoid chambers, following standard solitary confinement procedures.</p> <p>Initiatives are currently active to re-engineer production of SCP-6384-A and SCP-6384-B for Foundation usage.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-6384 is a 1992 Hanwoo Harmony passenger sedan outfitted with a vaporous dispersal device in its exhaust system. At the time of initial containment, the machinery contained approximately 2.8 liters of a blue-colored liquid, designated SCP-6384-A. Approximately 3.5 liters of a different green-colored liquid, designated SCP-6384-B, were discovered hidden in the vehicle's trunk.</p> <p>Both substances possess unknown chemical composition of presumed anomalous origin. For further information concerning SCP-6384-A and SCP-6384-B, see Addendum 02.</p> <p>During initial containment of SCP-6384, two adult males named "Vernon Douglas" and "Ian Zambrano" were identified as responsible for the phenomenon. Interrogation revealed Douglas to be the self-confessed inventor of substances SCP-6384-A and SCP-6384-B; they were designated as SCP-6384-1 due to their involvement. Zambrano's relation to the SCP substances could not be ascertained; they were designated as PoI-6384.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Addendum 01:</strong> SCP-6384 was discovered in damaged condition on March 25, 1995 by civilian law enforcement in Slipchester, Nevada, USA. Preliminary examination of SCP-6384-A and SCP-6384-B revealed their anomalous composition. Undercover Foundation operatives recognized the anomaly and transferred the vehicle and compounds to Site-56 for containment; amnestics were administered to civilian law enforcement as necessary.</p> <p>Foundation agents reviewed the collision report and identified SCP-6384-1 and PoI-6384 as the two occupants; Mobile Task Force Epsilon-33 ("Ford Pintos") was dispatched to retrieve both individuals from a local hospital.

My name is Melissa; I've been doing some research into those chemicals of yours. I just have a few questions for you today.</p> <p><em>SCP-6384-1 nods his head.</em></p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> Firstly, we're interested in your academic background, if you have one.</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> Um… why do you wanna know?</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> The chemicals you invented, they're very sophisticated. Usually we'd be able to identify their makeup rather quickly through our methods, but we've faced quite some difficulty with this… "antifreeze", as you call it. Such a complex substance requires a high amount of intellect and <em>years</em> of academic study to successfully formulate. I've been studying chemistry for over a decade and have yet to see something quite like this.</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> <em><chuckles></em> Thank you… I definitely went to college, but I can't remember where…</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> Perhaps you can't remember because you self-administered those chemicals on yourself?</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> Well- I know I did, I… I kept journals about everything.</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> Please elaborate more on these "journals".</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> Um… I got into the habit of journaling a lot. I went into detail about every day, where I went, when I ate lunch… how much I spent at the grocery store. I'd write down the time and date of every test I'd do where I'd drink the stuff… <em>before</em> drinking it, of course.</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> I'd get knocked out for hours, sometimes an entire day after drinking even a tablespoon, I formed another habit of writing the time I'd wake up in my journal; when I'd do that, I'd read over past journal entries going: "I don't remember any of this". <em>That's</em> how I knew it worked.</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> What happened to these journals? Where did you keep them?</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> I… um, left most of them behind. In my apartment.</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> Where's your apartment located?

No one ever called back.</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> You never shared a resumé with them?</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> I don't have a degree. No bachelor's, no doctorate, nothing. They probably thought I was a lunatic.</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> No degree, yet you came up with such sophisticated compounds, the likes of which we've never seen before.</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> Um… thank you, ma'am.</p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> With all this in mind, I'm proud to present you an amazing and lucrative opportunity to work for us! We here at "Solvent Chemical Producers" would be happy to have a bright mind like <em>you</em> on our team!</p> <p><em>SCP-6384-1 does not respond.</em></p> <p><strong>Mitchell:</strong> Once you accept, your first project will be to re-develop those chemicals of yours.

Who are the "others"?</p> <p><strong>SCP-6384-1:</strong> I'm not gonna accept the offer, ma'am. I'd rather you just let us leave.

The object itself has been secured in a standard nuclear-certified containment chamber by the Department of Nuclear Studies<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p> <p>As the object has been reclassified to Explained, no further procedures for its containment have been deemed necessary.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-666-EX is a plutonium device designed as the core for the third atomic bomb intended to be launched at the end of World War II as part of the Manhattan Project.</p> <p>As only two atomic bombs were utilized in the conflict, SCP-666-EX initially remained unused, but was deemed a useful asset for early experimentation concerning nuclear weaponry and avoided being harvested for its plutonium. During this era, it remained in the custody of the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, where two accidents involving it took place during sub-criticality experimentation (<em>See Addendum 666.1</em>). The several deaths which occurred as part of these incidents earned SCP-666-EX the colloquial monicker “demon core”.</p> <p>Following the accidents, employees of the laboratory began reporting several anomalous occurrences attributed to SCP-666-EX. A report compiling these events was subsequently compiled and distributed to the Foundation<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> (<em>See Addendum 666.2</em>). After agents were sent to the Los Alamos Laboratory for investigation, SCP-666-EX was placed into Foundation custody.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 666.1:</strong> Experimentation Overview</p> <p>It is suspected that the laboratory wanted the Foundation to remain ignorant of the initial experimentation which resulted in the deaths of their personnel. Agents dispatched to the facility were able to uncover the following points of interest regarding the experiments:</p> <ul> <li>The goal of the experiments was to determine the limits a nuclear core could be taken to before criticality is reached, primarily undergone by surrounding the cores with objects capable of reflecting neutrons. This is a highly dangerous practice.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Little to no safety precautions were taken during the experiments. Nuclear cores such as SCP-666-EX were likely brought to near-criticality on several occasions, almost causing significant damage to the laboratory and casualties if mistakes were made.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Small mistakes during the experiments were likely the primary cause of the multiple reported incidents in the facility. The labaratory was lucky to have avoided both sustaining more damage or lost more personnel as part of these incidents.</li> </ul> <p>Due to the nature of these experiments, the dispatched agents considered it unlikely that the United States government would have officially sanctioned their occurence.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 666.2:</strong> Compiled Report</p> <p>The following is the report provided to the Foundation regarding the anomalous phenomena reported to have occurred due to SCP-666-EX:</p> <div class="blockquote"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><span style="font-size:200%;"><strong>TOP-SECRET</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:110%;"><strong>REPORT ON PARANORMAL PHENOMENA CONCERNING THE "DEMON CORE"</strong></span></p> </div> <p>Following the events of May 21, 1946<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>, the Los Alamos Laboratory has been subject to large amounts of observed paranormal activity as a result of the continued presence of the object known as the demon core. The following is an assembled list of events reported by laboratory personnel and the dates they occurred.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>[5/23/1946]:</strong> Personnel observe the lights in all break rooms suddenly begin to flicker uninterrupted for a period of several continuous hours. No direct interference or issues with the lab's electricity could be discerned.</p> <p><strong>[5/25/1946]:</strong> Several members of laboratory personnel claim to hear disembodied voices in the testing room where the May 21st incident took place. One individual claims to have seen an unknown figure out of the corner of their eye.</p> <p><strong>[5/29/1946]:</strong> The demon core is observed to levitate for roughly ten minutes before falling onto the ground.</p> <p><strong>[6/02/1946]:</strong> All three previously recorded events occur during different times of the day, but with a higher intensity. The lights flicker for longer, the disembodied voices are louder, and the demon core levitates for longer.</p> <p><strong>[6/07/1946]:</strong> During the initial arrival of personnel with morning shifts at the laboratory, what appear to be several apparitions are seen in the windows. No exact details of the figures are discernable. All personnel subsequently refuse to enter the lab.</p> </div> <p><strong>Addendum 666.3:</strong> Recovered Communication</p> <p>As part of the investigation regarding SCP-666-EX, Foundation agents secretly obtained and made copies of all video and audio recordings within the Los Alamos Laboratory during the period in which they were stationed in the area. Viewing of the materials showed significant divergence between the reported events regarding SCP-666-EX and the recordings, with none of the described anomalous events visibly taking place in the footage or audio.</p> <p>Interest in the investigation eventually shifted towards an audio recording of a secluded back room of the laboratory, the only tape of which had been significantly damaged through what was determined to be purposeful tampering. Personnel eventually managed to isolate and repair a large amount of the audio, revealing it to have been a communication between two unknown parties. A transcript of what could be reconstructed has been provided below:</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]</strong></p> <p><strong>UNKNOWN [1]:</strong> What the hell are we going to tell Washington?</p> <p><strong>UNKNOWN [2]:</strong> Well, whatever we decide on, it can't be what we were doing here.

We are still trying to locate the parties involved; In the mean time, please refrain from spreading unsubstantiated rumors of a non-existent facility.</span></p> <p><span style="color: black">— Luciano Reyes, Site Director, Site-39</span></p> </div> </div> <br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-6966-EX <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Explained</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> No plans for containment have been developed for SCP-6966 due to the inability of the Foundation to verify its existence.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-6966-EX is alleged to be a free-standing structure resembling a shed located within the premises of Site-39, but does not appear on any layout blueprints of the facility. The inner structure was reported to comprise of a non-Euclidean hallway connecting at least 100 rooms on each side.</p> <p>It is currently hypothesized that SCP-6966-EX was merely a hallucination stemming from exposure of potential observers to psychoactive byproducts of a recent leak from the on-site parachemical labs, which has since been safely contained. Due to the lack of physical and non-anecdotal evidence for the existence of such a structure, SCP-6966 has been reclassified as Explained.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 6966.01: Discovery</strong><br/> SCP-6966 was first identified and reported by a security guard employed by Site-39, Casimir Anders, during a routine night patrol of the premises. Mr. Anders claims to have found the structure's door slightly ajar, and investigated further as part of his security duties.</p> <p>Upon exiting SCP-6966, Mr. Anders reported the structure to Site-39 personnel. The full report is currently filed <a href="javascript:;">here</a>. Attached below is an audio log of an interview held as part of the reporting process.</p> <blockquote> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;">«BEGIN LOG»</p> <hr/> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> Good morning, Mr. Anders. I'm Dr. Carter, and I'll be taking your statements on that anomaly you reported earlier this morning. Could you describe what exactly it was you saw inside that structure?</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> Okay so, as I said in the report, it was a very long hallway leading to god-knows-where. It was dark as shit, too, couldn't see anything without my flashlight. I don't know if this is any use to you folks, but that hallway looked more like an old hotel than anything you'd find in the Site proper, but not as old as the one I have to live in until they finish processing my employment or whatever it is Administration does with new hands on deck.</p> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> <em>[Coughs.]</em> Continue with your statements on the <em>anomaly</em>, please.</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> Right, right. So anyway, uh, there were doors with names on them on both sides of the hallway, but regular ones. Not the ones with keycard scanners. As a security guard I gotta check whether everything's in working order, watch out for intruders, all that noise, y'know? I didn't see any big signs yelling 'Restricted Area', and the doors weren't locked either, so I went in one of the rooms. Kinda small, had a bed with someone sleeping in it.</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> Now I thought to myself, 'shit, did I accidentally walk into some staff dorm?' before I remembered that Site-39 doesn't have onsite dorms. So now, I got ready to get an earful and a disciplinary from whoever's nap I might've interrupted, and then, nothing. I got out of there without any reaction from him.</p> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> I take it this was the same for the other rooms?</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> Most of them were. If the bed wasn't empty, then it was being used by random people who I've never seen before. I went further into the hallway, and then I start seeing names I <em>do</em> know on those doors. Mostly the folks at security. The funny thing is I know some of these guys are supposed to be on patrol or nightwatch duty, so the fact that I see them lying in the beds really unsettles me.</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> Eventually I decide to man up and take a closer look at one of the people in the beds. You know those ancient Egyptian coffins? These guys looked a lot like those things, from the unusual straightness of the body to the crossing of the arms 'Wakanda forever' style. Now at this point, I'm really beginning to question whether these guys are actually alive, because like, I don't care who you are, once you conk out you're bound to move at least <em>something</em>. It's sorta like uh, that uncanny valley effect, when you look at a wax figure or an extremely detailed mannequin. Shit's unnerving.</p> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> You mentioned your doubts on whether these entities were alive. What compelled you to infer that they weren't deceased?</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> Their chests. They rhythmically heaved up and down the entire time I was there. You could say they're just paralyzed or comatose, but — and this is the creepiest part — there was no air current when I checked their noses and mouths. Those 10 seconds were the tensest I've ever had throughout my career in security. I would've tried to check for a pulse as well, but y'know. Too risky. I already half-expected them to suddenly wake up while I had my fingers under their nose, so to feel around their wrists for a pulse… I don't think so.</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> I checked a few other rooms to make sure that guy wasn't an outlier or something, and whaddaya know? Every room that wasn't empty had one of these no-breathing sleepers in them. I don't think any of those things were really human, in hindsight.</p> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> I see. I must say, you're taking this unusually well.</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> I mean, this sort of stuff's in the job description, no? First thing they told me at orientation was that being a security guard at a Foundation Site means seeing weird shit from time to time. We have training for this sort of scenario.</p> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> That aside, did you manage to reach an end to the hallway? Or get a count of the rooms?</p> <p><strong>ANDERS:</strong> I didn't see any sort of ending to the hallway. My flashlight only has so much range. As for the rooms, I counted about 100 of them on my left before I gave up and headed out the way I came from, so that's about 200 at least?</p> <p><strong>CARTER:</strong> Very well, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Anders.</p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;">«END LOG»</p> <hr/></blockquote> <p>Site-39 staff were unable to locate any such structure as described by Mr. Anders, who could not be contacted for follow-up investigations after this interview.</p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h6 id="toc1"><span><strong>[END OF FILE]</strong></span></h6> </div> <hr/> <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:90%;"><tt>log-in</tt></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:90%;"><tt>> LOADING SCIP.NET LOGIN PROTOCOLS…</tt></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:90%;"><tt>login: reyes-l-01622</tt></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:90%;"><tt>> REMEMBER: IMPERSONATION OF PERSONNEL IS A PUNISHABLE OFFENSE.</tt></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:90%;"><tt>password: omne-vetus-novabatur</tt></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:90%;"><tt>> IDENTITY VERIFIED.

A proposal has been sent by Dr. Feng of the Site-39 Department of Thaumaturgy to utilize thaumaturgic techniques in locating SCP-6966, pending approval.</p> <p>As per standard Site security protocol, all security personnel have video cameras embedded into their vests that remain active for the duration which they are worn. Due to this, Dr. Carter was able to retrieve viable footage of Mr. Anders' encounter with SCP-6966, of which an excerpt is attached below.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;">«BEGIN LOG»</p> <hr/> <p>Anders approaches the structure, resembling a shed made of weathered corrugated metal. Closer analysis reveals the presence of several poorly-formed thaumaturgic sigils normally used in concealment seals rusted into the walls, which go unnoticed by Anders. He examines the door for any markings or labels before entering the structure. After fumbling for a light switch in the dark, Anders sighs and pulls out his flashlight. A long hallway is revealed as it he activates it, decorated with faded yellow floral wallpaper and dark red carpeting.</p> <div> <div class="scp-image-block block-center" style="width:100%;"><img alt="hallway.jpg" class="image" src="http://scpdsandbox.wdfiles.com/local--files/shelter/hallway.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Still of SCP-6966 interior from raw footage.</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>The light does not reach very far into the structure, but several doors are visible on the sides. Anders begins walking down the hallway, occasionally glancing to the doors on the sides, before stopping himself to inspect one of them. With a twist of a doorknob, Anders enters one of the rooms.</p> <p>A quick scan is done of the room, no more than 10 sq. meters in size, with a single bed as its sole furnishing. Anders is noticeably startled when the light runs over an unidentified individual lying in it. He quietly excuses himself after a short pause and withdraws from the room, noticing a small placard alluding to the identity of the occupant, "Xian Feng", affixed to the door on his way out.</p> <p>Anders continues down the hallway, taking note of the names on the doors as he goes. After a few minutes, he stops in front of a door labelled "Lars Rindahl"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, and cautiously enters. The room is almost identical to the earlier one, with the only difference being that the bed is unoccupied. Anders moves on to a separate room.</p> <p>The next room inspected by Anders hosts a different occupant. Anders holds his fingers under the nose of the occupant for a few seconds to check whether they are breathing, and pulls back upon confirming they are not. The chest of the occupant is clearly seen moving up and down.</p> <p>This is repeated several times in multiple rooms. Eventually, he focuses on locating the end of the hallway, ignoring the other rooms entirely. Numerous placards become visible as he walks by their doors, which correspond to multiple Sr. Researchers at Site-39. Anders stops in front of a door labelled "Luciano Reyes" after noticing it, and swears that this will be the last room he checks under his breath as he enters.</p> <p>The bed is unoccupied, but is poorly made. Signs of usage are visible.</p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;">«END LOG»</p> <hr/></div> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

SCP-7000-EX consists of a plastic, blue, 30cm-diameter hemisphere with five indents on the round side of the hemisphere that correspond to the five fingers of a standard human left hand. It also includes a velcro strap to secure one's hand to the device and a 5-digit number display. Due to the circumstances of its acquisition, SCP-7000-EX is not to be dismantled until further notice.</p> <p>SCP-7000-EX was discovered during a Foundation raid on a defunct toy factory. The owners of this factory had been recently bought out by a subsidiary of Marshall, Carter and Dark before closing down, thus prompting the Foundation to investigate.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 7000.1:</strong> Documents found with SCP-7000.<br/> Upon discovery in said defunct toy factory, a booklet containing the instructional manual, and an overview of the product was found.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <hr/> <p>Are you tired of throwing everything at the wall until something sticks?

SCP-711-EX	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-711-EX</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Safe</span> Neutralized</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-711 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell, composed of concrete or asbestos. SCP-711 is to be provided with one (1) box-spring bed, two (2) feather pillows, one (1) quilt, one (1) toilet, one (1) sink, one (1) rib shower, one (1) 50 watt lamp, and one (1) novel to be rotated on request.</p> <p>All artifacts belonging to SCP-711 are to be kept in storage locker 711-1.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-711 is an adolescent male Negro, claiming to have originally been from the early 21st century. Currently, no signs of anomalous temporal activity have been detected around SCP-711. Items originally in the possession of SCP-711 (designated SCP-711-1 through 4) show technological advancement beyond current human capabilities.</p> <p>SCP-711-1 is a small, compact, electrical device that appears to have been originally constructed as a mobile form of the telephone, with the ability to send and receive radio signals simultaneously. SCP-711-1 has a display similar to a television; however, microscopic examination of the display following disassembly has shown that it is composed of several hundred light-emitting diodes. The display also shows the ability to respond to direct contact. SCP-711-1's power source is a highly compact battery that SCP-711 claims to be rechargeable<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. Examination of the inside of SCP-711-1 has found several small electrical components similar to the components of a punch-card machine. SCP-711-1 shows several features in its display, including the ability to play "games", a calendar, and a device for arithmetic calculations. Also included is a small but functional keyboard that "slides" out of its compartment. A small camera is located on the back-side of the device which may be used to take coloured images that are then "stored" on SCP-711-1.</p> <p>SCP-711-2 is a wrist-watch powered by an incredibly compact battery. As opposed to traditional analog display, SCP-711-2 displays the time of day in a direct numeric fashion. It also displays the date and year, and acts as a stop-watch through the pressing of certain buttons on its side.</p> <p>SCP-711-3 is an electrical, music-emitting device that SCP-711 refers to as an "iPod Nano" (sic). SCP-711-3 contains the same display function and electrical components as SCP-711-1. SCP-711-3 appears to have a high storage capacity for music and cinema, which may be infinitely reproduced through interaction with the device. SCP-711-4 is a pair of small stereophones that comes equipped with SCP-711-3, and allows a single user to listen to the sounds produced by SCP-711-3.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 711-1:</strong> Events predicted by SCP-711 (<em>NOTE: SCP-711 is an American adolescent, and has a memory centered around popular culture and American history, as well as events closer to his time.</em> - Dr. ████████):</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Early 1970s - Future President Richard Nixon will be involved in a scandal, causing his impeachment</span><br/> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Mid 1970s - A new wave of music labeled "disco" will become popular, but will "die" later on</span><br/> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Mid 1970s - The Vietnam war will end</span><br/> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Early 1980s - Film star Ronald Reagan will be elected President of the United States</span><br/> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Late 1990s - Future President "Bill Clinton" will be in a scandal with an unmarried woman</span><br/> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">2000 - "George W.

SCP-7166	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <br/> <strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-7166 <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Reports regarding survivors of lightning strikes are to be investigated, and said survivors monitored for any anomalous activity. In the event an individual survives multiple strikes within their lifetime, they are to be questioned, in order to ascertain any similarities between instances.</p> <p>If any underlying cause for SCP-7166 is discovered, research into possible methods of neutralization is to be prioritized.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-7166 is a phenomenon affecting individuals who are struck by lightning. This phenomenon does not appear to affect all victims of lighting strikes, but SCP-7166 has been found to occur at higher frequencies if:</p> <ul> <li>The individual is struck by lightning, but survives,</li> <li>The individual retains higher brain functions,</li> <li>The individual resumes everyday activities after recovering from the lightning strike (e.g. work, leisure, family, etc.), and</li> <li>These activities place the individual outdoors.</li> </ul> Individuals who meet these criteria, designated SCP-7166-1, will become significantly more likely to experience lightning strikes. This effect appears to be cumulative with repeated strikes, as individuals who survive more than two strikes become far more likely to experience a third strike, and so on. This effect will only demanifest following either SCP-7166-1's cessation of outdoor activities, loss of higher brain functions, or death.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <hr/> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p><span style="color: #444">Dr. Sanderson, come on.

Initial communication with SCP-7474-1 established that it had not been harmed by the gunfire, and that it was willing to co-operate with the Foundation. SCP-7474-1 was then transported to Interview Room 24B and Dr Kowal arranged to interview the entity, from behind reinforced glass.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Hello, my name is Dr. Edna Kowal. Can you understand me?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> YOUR SPEECH IS COMPREHENSIBLE.</p> <p><em>Dr. Kowal flinches, but quickly regains her composure.</em></p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> YOU APPEAR TO BE IN DISTRESS.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> No no, I’m ok, I just didn’t expect you to sound so… never mind. I’d like to start by apologising for how you were treated by those soldiers earlier. I can promise you, you’ll not be harmed here, we’re much better prepared to deal with situations like this than those soldiers were. Although I will ask that you not spray anyone again, humans generally find that experience unpleasant.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> YES, I AM NOW AWARE. I ACCESSED YOUR RADIO SIGNALS FROM MY CRAFT AFTER THE INCIDENT AND LEARNED YOUR METHOD OF SPEECH. YOURS CONSISTS OF VIBRATING THE AIR AT EACH OTHER, RATHER THAN DIRECT INFORMATION TRANSFER VIA THE EJACULATION OF SPORES. INEFFICIENT.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> I see. Excuse me for asking the obvious, but can you tell me what exactly you are?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> NO</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> No? Does that mean you can’t tell us, or that you won’t?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I CANNOT. I HAVE ALREADY FAILED BY COMING HERE. IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR ME TO FAIL FURTHER.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Look, we’re not your enemy, we want to make things as comfortable for you as possible. Can you tell us what you eat? Do you eat?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I AM NOT INTERESTED IN EATING. I SEEK ONLY TO BE ALLOWED TO REPAIR MY VESSEL AND EXIT THIS PLACE.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> … I’m sorry, I thought the intake officer had made this clear already. We can’t let you go.

Look, maybe I can get you some kind of limited access to your vessel, but you need to work with me here, ok?

I REQUEST FOOD.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Alright, now we’re getting somewhere. What do you consider food? If there’s exotic molecules involved, it might be a bit tricky, but I’m sure our scientists can figure something out.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I REQUEST THE FOOD THAT YOU AND YOUR KIND ENJOY.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Are you sure you’d enjoy that?

No offence, but I’m not sure our biologys are compatible.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I CAN ADAPT.</p> <p><em>SCP-7474 gestures with a pseudopod to one of the suppurating orifices on its dorsal flank, which has begun to shift into the shape of a human mouth with distended lips.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Oh, I see.

I WANTED TO RETURN TO MY PEOPLE. I LEFT IN PART BECAUSE I WAS FRUSTRATED. I WAS UNDERVALUED IN MY CULTURE BECAUSE I HAVE NOT YET REACHED MY SESSILE LIFE PHASE.

AFTER, I CHOSE TO CRASH ON YOUR WORLD RATHER THAN ANOTHER BECAUSE I FEARED TO DIE AND YOUR WORLD WAS HABITABLE.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> That sounds like it must have been one hell of a scary situation, I’m glad you managed to survive.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF I HAD NOT SURVIVED. EVEN KNOWING OF MY EXISTENCE IS INFORMATION THAT YOUR KIND SHOULD NOT KNOW.</p> <p><strong>Dr Kowal:</strong> Did you even know that we were here when you chose this planet to crash on?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I KNEW THERE WAS A RISK THAT SAPIENTS WOULD BE HERE.

WHY.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> I’m sorry Dash One, but that’s just not possible, at least not yet. Maybe if you were willing to help us out, explain how your ship works?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> NO. THAT IS NOT MY CHOICE TO MAKE AND I WILL NOT BETRAY MY PEOPLE.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> I can respect that. But I’m sure your people wouldn’t want you to be stuck here, they probably miss you as much as you miss them. I can promise you, we won’t use anything you tell us against you or your people. In fact, I could probably even arrange a trade, if there’s anything we have that could help you or your people, in exchange for any anomalous tech you could share?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I CANNOT DO THAT. I AM NOT ANOMALOUS AND NEITHER IS MY TECHNOLOGY.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Look, Dash One, you know I like you and I can understand that you want your freedom. But you’re certainly not human, and hell, I don’t think you’d even want to be human if you could.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I KNOW. YOU MISUNDERSTAND ME. ANOMALIES ARE DEFINED WITHIN THE FOUNDATION CHARTER AS OBJECTS, ENTITIES OR CONCEPTS WHICH VIOLATE THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE. YOU FEAR THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE UNPREDICATBLE, AND UNPREDICTABILITY MEANS DANGER.I DO NOT VIOLATE THE LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Huh. Y’know, there’s a lot of physicists that would disagree with you there.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> THEY WOULD BE WRONG. I AND MY CRAFT ARE PERFECTLY EXPLICABLE WITHIN THE STANDARD MODEL OF PHYSICS.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Oh yeah? Care to explain that one?</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I CANNOT. MY CULTURE FORBIDS ME FROM SHARING MY KNOWLEDGE. YOU KNOW THIS.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Well, we’re at a bit of an impasse here then, buddy. Even if you could prove you and your vessel are obeying physics, the Foundation isn’t going to be happy about just letting you leave. Especially if you won’t let them know how all your shit works.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> INQUIRY. IS THIS NOT YOUR DECISION TO MAKE. DO YOU NOT LEAD THIS DEPARTMENT.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> I… It’s not that simple. We have a project we’re working on, one that we need your technology to make work. I still have bosses, I still have to do my job, I still have to try and keep humanity safe.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I THOUGHT BY NOW YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I AM NOT A THREAT TO HUMANITY.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> C’mon Dash One, you know I didn’t mean it like that.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> I WOULD LIKE TO BE ALONE WITH MY VESSEL NOW.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Fine. If that’s what you want.</p> <p><strong><END LOG></strong></p> </div> <br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span> <div class="blockquote"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong>Discussion between Co-Directors, Dr. Kowal and Dr. Warner: 2003/12/7</strong></p> </div> <hr/> <p><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> Look, Edna, we’ve been through a lot together and I have the utmost respect for you. But frankly, this is ridiculous.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> I know, I thought the same thing at first. But I’ve been thinking about it, and it actually makes a lot of sense. If SCP-7474 and SCP-7474-1 actually do obey the laws of physics, then we’ve no right to keep them in containment.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> So what, we’re just meant to abandon the project to replicate its interstellar craft? We’re supposed to abandon <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6240">Dr. Fluv’s soul</a>, and the souls of god knows how many others? It’s all very well having the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6695">fuel</a> if we don’t have a way of building a craft that can actually use it effectively.</p> <p><em>Dr. Kowal raises her hands in a conciliatory gesture.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Come on Otto, that’s not what I meant and you know it. I’m just suggesting we take a different tack, there’s other anomalies we could look to for clues on building an interstellar craft of our own. Besides, it’s not like you’re making any progress in understanding SCP-7474, it’s been months and we’re just as clueless as when we started.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> This is nuts. It goes against Foundation principals, we are a scientific organisation, it makes no sense to stop pursuing knowledge. Think of the good we could do if we understood the mechanics of its craft, or even how its biology functions.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> You’re wrong. The Foundation isn’t a scientific organisation, and those aren’t our principles. Sure, we’re scientists and we try to learn all we can from the anomalies we contain, but our principles above all are to Secure, Contain and Protect. Holding an intelligent and non-anomalous being hostage because we want it to tell us its secrets doesn’t fit those goals. Hell, if a human had invented something we didn’t understand, we wouldn’t hold them prisoner.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> That’s different and you know it. I mean, come on, you can’t tell me that thing doesn’t violate normalcy, just look at it!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> You might have a point if it wanted to move to the suburbs, but SCP-7474 just wants to go back home, and it’s not violating any sort of normalcy there.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> Yes, go back home and take with it any chance we have of figuring out its technology. When the Foundation found it, it was in the hands of the US military. If it’s not anomalous, then protocol would be to return it to the custody of those who had the SCP object last. Is that what you want, to hand it over to those idiots?</p> <p><em>Dr. Kowal sighs</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> We’re going in circles here. Otto, just try to talk to SCP-7474. Get to know it and you’ll see its no threat to anyone, and it’s not like you’re making any headway with your experiments anyway. Let it go, and we can focus this department’s efforts somewhere we can actually do some good.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> I’m sorry, but no. It’s obvious we aren’t going to agree on this, I say we kick this up the chain, ask the O5 for a ruling.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> The O5? They don’t have time to deal with one wrongly imprisoned alien and you know it, it’d be months before we heard back, if ever.</p> <p><em>Dr. Warner shrugs</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> You got a better idea?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> What if I could prove to you that SCP-7474 wasn’t anomalous?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Warner:</strong> Then I guess, hypothetically, we’d have to reclassify it as Explained. That doesn’t answer what we’d do with it though, even if we can’t hold it as an anomaly I’m not just going to let a working interstellar spacecraft fly off.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Dr Kowal has a proposal that… well perhaps I should let her explain.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> It’s fairly simple. Explorer, I want you to tell us everything that you don’t want us to know about your species and about your technology. Then, after Dr Warner and I are satisfied that you truly are not anomalous, we will have our memories erased, along with all records of our conversation.</p> <p><strong>SCP-7474-1:</strong> INTERESTING. INQUIRY. HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS NOT JUST A TRICK.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Kowal:</strong> Because I hope you trust me as much as I trust you. Besides, we’re not behind glass any more, and I remember what you did to those BBQ ribs before I told you you’re not meant to eat the bones, I’m pretty sure that if we betrayed you, you could stop us pretty easily.

The SCP-7525-EX file itself represents the primary containment apparatus for a phenomenon classified SCP-5257. Use of this database slot is the only practical means of recording information pertaining to SCP-5257, which remains actively anomalous.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-5257 is a "Trojan Horse" virus formerly infecting the SCiPNET servers, now isolated to the SCP-5257, SCP-5257-EX, and SCP-7525-EX database files. The former two files have been taken offline as of 05/17/2021; all attempts to view them will be met with an error or a notification from Site-19's Technical Department.</p> <p>Until recently, SCP-5257 executed opportunistic vandalism attacks against slots in the SCP database. It appears to have a limited predictive capacity, as it tended to interact with empty database slots already slated for imminent official use. Statistical analysis established the following hierarchy of preferences:</p> <ol> <li>Slots below SCP-1000;</li> <li>Slots with numbers relevant to a file's proposed contents;</li> <li>Slots below SCP-2000;</li> <li>Slots with numbers having humorous associations;</li> <li>Slots below SCP-3000;</li> <li>Slots with aesthetically or sonically pleasant numbers;</li> <li>Slots below SCP-4000.</li> </ol> <p>SCP-5257 attacked its targets by corrupting any existing data, inserting unwanted and extraneous new data, inserting SCP-5257-1, and reverting authorized edits by appropriate Foundation personnel.</p> <p>SCP-5257-1 is a photo with the file name slot_goblin.png which appeared in each slot affected by SCP-5257. It depicts a clean line-art rendering of a goblin, with two images of a man costumed as the Green Goblin from the <em>Spider-Man</em> franchise mirrored on the lower left-hand and right-hand corners. "YOU HAVE BEEN GOBLINED BY THE SLOT GOBLIN" <em>[sic]</em> and "FUCK YOU AND YOUR SLOT" <em>[sic]</em> appear on the top and bottom of the picture, respectively.</p> <p>While the image appears to be non-anomalous<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, it has proven exceedingly difficult to remove from affected files, and completely impossible to eradicate from SCiPNET as a whole. Its single persistent iteration was formerly hosted in the SCP-5257 slot; it is presently confined to SCP-7525-EX.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 5257.1:</strong> Incident Log</p> <div class="addendum"> <p>The following is an abridged log of notable incidents related to SCP-5257 activity within the SCP Foundation database.</p> <p><strong>02/07/2015:</strong> Agent Lament uploaded an SCP file to the <a href="/scp-1848">SCP-1848</a> slot. The file's "common name," used informally to distinguish SCP files at a glance, has read [ACCESS DENIED] since its initial posting. All attempts to correct this have resulted in reversion, with an edit comment reading simply "OOPS."<br/> <em>Stop bugging me about this, I'm retired — Agent T. Lament</em></p> <p><strong>05/13/2016:</strong> The first occurrence of the "Slot Goblin" image appeared alongside corruption of the SCP-5257 file. The anomaly was classified SCP-5257 internally, though attempts to upload data on its effects to the related file were repeatedly reverted with an edit comment reading "YOU CAN'T DEFINE THE SLOT GOBLIN!"<br/> <em>We might not be able to fix this without abandoning SCiPNET altogether — Dir. M. Jones</em><br/> <em>I won't miss it — Dir. P. Lague</em></p> <p><strong>07/21/2019:</strong> All unoccupied slots in the database were corrupted by SCP-5257. They now contained short unpublished drafts of unlikely anomalous objects not otherwise attested by Foundation sources, with a level of completion ranging from full descriptions with testing logs, to fragmentary Special Containment Procedures, to completely unintelligible gibberish. Edit comments included "HOW DO I POST," "IN PROGRESS DON'T DELETE," and "LOL SNIPED."<br/> <em>Getting tired of cleaning this junk out — H. Sturmatem</em></p> <p><strong>10/14/2020:</strong> Researcher Calvin's account uploaded an explained SCP file to the <a href="/scp-5025">SCP-5025</a> mainlist slot, rather than SCP-5025-EX. The edit comment read "I DIDN'T READ THE INSTRUCTIONS LOL." Researcher Calvin denied uploading the file, and reported considerable backlash from his colleagues over the subversion of proper protocol.<br/> <em>I don't see the problem here — Dir. R. House</em></p> <p><strong>03/20/2021:</strong> Drs. Blank and McDoctorate prepared an SCP file for an object known as the REISNO Cannon. They indicated a preference for the <a href="/scp-5244">SCP-5244</a> slot, as the item in question was thematically connected to both <a href="/scp-5242">SCP-5242</a> and <a href="/scp-5243">SCP-5243</a>. The slot had gone unused for nearly one year prior to this. They expressed this preference to Director Jones of RAISA; within one hour the slot had been corrupted by SCP-5257, with an edit comment reading "LOL YOU HAD EIGHT MONTHS."<br/> <em>Research takes longer than eight months, asshole — Dr. H. Blank</em></p> <p><strong>06/10/2021:</strong> Site-17's Labeling Team encountered a massive database corruption wherein 98% of all entries on SCiPnet had their organizational tags removed. These were eventually reinstated when the servers were disconnected and reconnected to their power source.<br/> <em>Turning it off and on again was my idea — Jr. Designer S. Yvonne</em></p> <p><strong>06/27/2021:</strong> Dr. Septer removed an outdated file under the SCP-3775 designation. Upon its deletion, SCP-5257 immediately corrupted the slot. Later that same day, Junior Researcher Russ accidentally catalogued an entry in an out-of-range file series. This was subsequently corrected and SCP-5257 corrupted that slot.<br/> <em>I need a drink — Dir. S. Andrews</em></p> <p><strong>05/17/2022:</strong> Through a series of extreme technical interventions, RAISA successfully isolated SCP-5257's mainlist activities to its own slot. Attempts to suppress the associated image were unsuccessful until the creation of the SCP-5257-EX slot describing the anomaly, at which point the image (and all further vandalism) transferred there. Damage to the original slot appears at present to be irreversible; the file refuses to load on most terminals in approximately 50% of recorded attempts.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> SCP-5257 has now permanently disabled the SCP-5257-EX file.

This phenomenon is observed following the complete dissolution of the Veil, a metaphysical barrier that conceals and separates the anomalous from the mundane.</p> <p>The decline of anomalous phenomena is not limited to the Foundation's jurisdiction but extends globally, potentially further. Reports from other organizations and independent researchers in the anomalous community corroborate this trend. Verified data suggests that SCP-7973 is affecting all known anomalies, regardless of their origin or nature.</p> <p>Initial theories suggest that the destruction of the Veil disrupted the underlying metaphysical mechanisms responsible for the sustained existence of anomalous entities. It is hypothesized that the Veil acted as a stabilizing force, maintaining the balance between the anomalous and the non-anomalous. With its removal, anomalous phenomena appear to be returning to a state of equilibrium, aligning with the natural laws governing the universe.</p> <p>SCP-7973 only affects anomalies discovered or occurring after the Veil is dissipated, as anomalies documented before SCP-7973 remain unaffected. The reasoning behind this is currently unknown. Current models predict the prevalence of new anomalous phenomena will cease entirely by the year 2071.</p> <p>In order to better understand SCP-7973, and the anomalous at large, Foundation dispatched Doctor Tiana Mark Rosanne to conduct a series of interviews with several anomalous researchers/related personnel. These interviews aimed to acquire additional insights into the nature of anomalies. The following logs contain the transcriptions of said interviews, accompanied by relevant contextual details.</p> <div class="limit"> <div class="anchor"> <div class="sidebox"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="8845981467_6945cef32a_b.jpg" class="image" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/3696/8845981467_6945cef32a_b.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Dr. Gears</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <blockquote> <p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> Dr. Gears<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Rosanne<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Foreword:</strong> The following interview was conducted a few weeks after the Veil was dissolved, with SCP-7973 being only theoretical at the time. Due to Dr. Gears being the current lead researcher for new anomalous phenomena, he specifically was chosen.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong><Begin Log></strong><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <em><strong>Dr. Rosanne walks into the room. She waves over at Dr. Gears, before sitting in front of him.</strong></em><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Afternoon, Gears! Don't look a day over thirty!<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Who are you?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <em><strong>Dr. Rosanne stands silently, before resuming.</strong></em><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Tiana Mark Rosanne? Doctor, interviewer…<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Apologies, you look different than I heard.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> No worries! So, anyhow, you're wondering why I dragged you out here—<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> No, in fact, I think I know exactly why. Heard something about statistics being off.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> The statistics, yeah? Just need to say a few things for the file, hope you don't mind.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Go ahead.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Well—The guys at the statistics department were having… not the best time, if you can believe it. They were studying the number of anomalies that happened every week, as usual, and you'd expect it to just… Massively jump, right? 'Cause the Veil is gone now.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Did it not?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Not at all! It started to decrease. Not by much, mind you, but the top minds all agreed that its a roughly 0.005% decrease than normal. Granted, four weeks is often not enough data, but they've been going through that stuff for years and never has it went down consistently!<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Hm, I see.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Well, I just have an important question. What do you consider "anomalous"?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Well, to put it simply, I define an anomaly as anything that deviates from our current understanding of the natural world and defies the laws of physics or known scientific principles. Granted, the natural world is surely changing, but I think it still makes sense.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Alright, got that jotted down. Do you think anomalies are inherently dangerous?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> No. Anomalies can certainly pose risks and threats, especially if they are uncontained or poorly understood. However, anomalies themselves are not inherently good or evil, they're simply anomalous. I have seen anomalies both capable of helping and harming the Foundation.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Makes sense to me. If this "SCP-7973" does exist, do you think it means anything big?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> It's impossible to say without more data. But in my opinion, it could signify a more troubling issue, such as a fundamental shift in the fabric of reality, although that is just a theory.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> I see—Once we got more information, I'll try to remind you! Although you're leagues above me, so you might know.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong><em>Dr. Gears nods.</em></strong><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Gears:</strong> Understood.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong><End Log></strong></p> </blockquote> <p>In the subsequent weeks following the interview, SCP-7973's influence has exhibited a noticeable escalation. Over a period of seven months, only the subsequent categories of anomalies have been identified:</p> <ul> <li>16 instances of humanoid anomalies</li> <li>24 occurrences of anomalous wildlife</li> <li>38 instances of anomalous items</li> <li>41 recorded anomalous events</li> <li>12 designated anomalous locations</li> <li>2 occurrences of anomalies capable of causing a K-Class "End Of the World" Scenario</li> </ul> <p>Due to the dramatic decrease in anomalies, several groups of interest were interviewed in order to understand SCP-7973 further. Certain groups such as Gamers Against Weed and the Church of the Broken God were observed to continue their operations in an unchanged manner. Although most interviews yielded no notable information, the Global Occult Coalition have reported a similar number in decreased anomalies. Below is an interview with Undersecretary General D. C. Al Fine.</p> <div class="limit"> <div class="anchor"> <div class="sidebox"> <div class="scp-image-block block-left" style="width:200px;"><img alt="Black_woman_with_women%27s_suit_2.jpg" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Black_woman_with_women%27s_suit_2.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>D.

D. C. Al Fine scoffs.</em></strong><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> You know, for something so important, the Foundation should've sent more than one person. I was expecting a meeting with the O5's, that's what Seven told me.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Sorry, they're busy right now, miss. I'm Dr. Rosanne, it's nice to meet you. I've just got a few questions to ask, it won't take long.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> If this is anything that isn't about another North Korea happening, then I couldn't care less.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Well, it's about anomalies. In short; they're starting to just… stop appearing.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> Yeah, we realized that. Initially we thought you were just getting a hand of them first, but seeing your worry, I'm guessing there's more to this?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> We… Don't know.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> Son of a bitch…<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> But! But we have some leads, which is why I'm here. Before anything, I need to ask. What do you consider anomalous?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> Typically? Threats. We've seen dozens of them that can end up ending the world, tons that have sent tens of people to their graves. We've seen the library end the world before, so we absolutely know how dangerous they can be!<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Yes, while that is true, they're not <em>all</em> dangerous. Like, random example… there's this big ball of slime, makes people happy! So they're not all—<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> I'm going to have to cut you off right there. Granted, there are a few anomalies that help. Hell, we got plenty of them. But the truth is, the majority of them are dangerous and deadly. It's astounding that the number has decreased, but maybe it's for the better.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> For the better? I wouldn't say that, like… for every deadly anomaly that no longer exists, there has to be another that could help us, right?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> First, you never use the good ones for the sake of the people, so that shouldn't be your worry. And second, less anomalies means the Foundation doesn't have to employ as many people. For every murder monster, that's at least fifty people that work for something else.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong><em>Dr. Rosanne is silent.</em></strong><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> See? Whatever is causing this… anomapocalypse, it doesn't matter. It's better in the end.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> I'll be ending this interview.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Al Fine:</strong> It's the truth, sorry to burst your bubble.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong><End Log></strong><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Note:</strong> Dr. Rosanne was disciplined for her unprofessional behavior.</p> </blockquote> <p>Further statistic reports imply a significant downward trend for new anomalies. Contrary to the earlier projection of anomalies persisting until the year 2071, Foundation analysts now anticipate this occurrence to transpire within a considerably shorter time frame, potentially within the next decade. Over the past year, only 3 instances of anomalous humanoids have been documented. In an effort to further understand SCP-7973, Dr. Rosanne has submitted a formal request for an interview with a humanoid anomaly currently under Foundation custody.</p> <div class="limit"> <div class="anchor"> <div class="sidebox"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="Medico_peste.jpg?20120303140125" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Medico_peste.jpg?20120303140125"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>SCP-049</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <blockquote> <p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> <a href="/scp-049">SCP-049</a><br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Rosanne<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Foreword:</strong> SCP-049 was situated behind a wall of glass in order to avoid accidental or intentional contact.

So, I'm guessing you heard the news about the Veil being broke?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> The veil?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Oh yeah, in captivity, sorry! Basically, everybody knows about the anomalous, and people like you! Unfortunately we still need to keep you contained, touch of death and all that… but that's some more interaction, maybe.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> Interesting, I knew something felt… off. There was a lot of indistinct chatter about Korea, maybe some time I could visit? Bless them with my cure?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Yeah, sure—Anyways! I do have a few things to say, but the main one is your opinion on the anomalous. What do you consider "anomalous"?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> Ah, an intriguing question indeed. Don't think anyone has bothered to ask. Well, my fellow doctor, I consider the anomalous to be that which eludes your feeble comprehension. It is the essence of fear, the embodiment of the unknown. And I must say, I relish in it.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Well, yes, but like… The dark <em>is</em> the unknown, but we don't try and contain darkness.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> Ah, but darkness holds its own secrets, doesn't it? You fear the unknown lurking within the shadows. It is not the mere absence of light that sends shivers down your spine; it is the possibility that something watches you, that something sinister stirs in the depths.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> I guess you're right. If that's the case, what we do understand can all be explained, there's reasoning behind all of it. But for you, no offense, your death-touch isn't anything we can put together with science.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> Believe me, Dr. Rosanne, I am well aware of the limitations of your scientific endeavors. But let me ask you this: Would a caveman try to contain fire? Would a peasant attempt to harness electricity, keeping it hidden from the prying eyes of the masses? You may not grasp my true nature yet, but there is far more to me than meets the eye.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> So, there's aspects of things that transcend our perspective of science? Since we see things we don't know and we're all too quick to think its a threat?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> Precisely, doctor. There are forces and phenomena in this world that exist beyond the feeble boundaries of conventional knowledge. Just because we cannot fathom or control them with our limited understanding does not render them purposeless or devoid of meaning.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>Dr. Rosanne:</strong> Makes enough sense. Maybe some day, you can finally walk again… I do feel sorry for you sometimes.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> <strong>SCP-049:</strong> Don't be burdened by sympathy, doctor. I am a patient being, and solitude holds its own peculiar charm, wouldn't you agree?</p> </blockquote> <p>SCP-7973 has continued to progress.

For the purposes of preserving the historical record, these references remain unaltered.</p> <p>— Maria Jones, Director, RAISA</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8000-EX</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Explained (Formerly Keter)</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Individuals affected by SCP-8000-EX are to be contained for analysis and experimentation. Standard Cover Story L-95 ("Induction Into/Abduction By Cult") is to be implemented to explain their disappearances from the public. Personnel exposing themselves to materials that induce SCP-8000-EX for purposes outside of testing are to have their employment with the Foundation terminated.</p> <p>The Foundation has set up the front group, "The Society for Christian Parents", an organization dedicated to discouraging interaction with materials that cause SCP-8000-EX, such as <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em>, <em>Call of Cthulhu</em>, <em>Empire of the Petal Throne</em>, and <em>Tunnels & Trolls</em>. Currently, these efforts are operating at only 40% effectiveness.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8000-EX refers to anomalous effects produced from interacting with fantasy-based 'wargames' such as <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em> and <em>Call of Cthulhu</em>. Specifically, SCP-8000-EX refers to a form of cognitive decline wherein certain individuals who play these games cease to be able to distinguish reality from the world depicted by a fantasy wargame. This effect is most prevalent among men aged 15-25.</p> <p>Documented symptoms of SCP-8000-EX include:</p> <ul> <li>Belief that one is not human, or has thaumaturgical capabilities.</li> <li>Seeking out cavernous structures, such as maintenance tunnels or culverts, in an attempt to 'seek out adventure'.</li> <li>Cutting behavior (i.e. slitting wrists and mutilating legs)</li> <li>Abusing animals.</li> <li>Increased desire for acts of sexual deviance, including sodomy and public transvestitism.</li> <li>Attempts to call forth Tartarean entities using 'spells' included in the Player's Handbooks for these games; however, due to the lack of thaumaturgical knowledge displayed by the companies publishing these games, none of these rites are functional.</li> <li>Attempts at suicide.</li> </ul> <p>The Foundation was alerted to the existence of SCP-8000-EX by GOI-5705B ("<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5952">The First United Temple of Dixieland</a>") following the deaths of a pair of young adults connected with <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em>. Using their status as members of SUSEOCT, GOI-5705B forced the Foundation to open an investigation into SCP-8000-EX.</p> <p>Currently, one individual affected by SCP-8000-EX is in containment: 21-year-old Daniel Friedman, son of theologist Dr. Herman Friedman. Following exposure to <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em> at their college's board game society during the 1982 autumn semester, Daniel Friedman began showing symptoms of SCP-8000-EX following their return home for winter break, culminating in an attempt at suicide on December 27th. Dr. Friedman, a former member of GOI-5705B's congregation, had been a proponent of classifying <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em> as an anomaly; he transferred his son into containment in the hopes of understanding the mechanisms behind SCP-8000-EX.</p> <hr/> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Friedman<br/> <strong>Subject:</strong> Daniel Friedman<br/> <strong>Date:</strong> 01/17/1983</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Dr. Friedman:</strong> Daniel, you're awake, good.</p> <p><strong>Daniel Friedman:</strong> Dad?

That's all.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Friedman:</strong> You are very detailed about her, Daniel.</p> <p><strong>Daniel Friedman:</strong> What is this place? You're not a shrink, you're a theologist. Why are you interviewing me?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Friedman:</strong> You don't get to ask those kind of questions anymore. Something tried taking away my son, and I aim to destroy it.</p> <p><strong>Daniel Friedman:</strong> Dad, I'm still me. Really.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Friedman:</strong> I'm… not sure you are. You changed so much after only one semester. Something got into your brain, but that's okay. We're going to get it out.</p> <p><strong>Daniel Friedman:</strong> …oh God. Are you… are you going to lobotomize me?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Friedman:</strong> What? No, that <em>diminishes</em> mental faculties. We want to <em>restore</em> yours, Daniel. We're not barbarians.</p> <p><strong>Daniel Friedman:</strong> What is this place, dad? Really?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Friedman:</strong> Your dinner will be brought into here soon. I suggest you eat up.

After significant debate and careful review, the Ethics Committee has concluded that SCP-8000 is not, and has never been, an anomaly; the behavior exhibited by Daniel Friedman, and several other alleged SCP-8000 cases, are the result of a combination of factors, including previously untreated mental illness, such as manic-depressive disorder, homosexuality,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> and Gender Identity Disorder (Transsexualism).<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p> <p>It is the belief of the Ethics Committee that neither Daniel Friedman, nor any individual allegedly affected by SCP-8000, possess any anomalous properties. Dr. Friedman has fallen victim to the same panic that is affecting most of the United States at this time, fearing that he is losing his child to Satanic influence. As such, the Ethics Committee recommends the following actions:</p> <ul> <li>Reclassification of SCP-8000 from Keter to Explained, and the modification of the designation to SCP-8000-EX.</li> <li>Immediate release of Daniel Friedman and cessation of monitoring for SCP-8000-EX. Due to potentially dangerous drug interactions between Compound-72 and Class-A Amnestics, amnesticization is not advised at this time.</li> <li>Cessation of containment efforts related to <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em> and other related fantasy games.</li> <li>Removal of Daniel Friedman from the custody of Dr. Herman Friedman, as it is believed that he cannot be trusted with his child's well-being.</li> <li>Psychological counseling for Daniel Friedman, provided by the Foundation.</li> </ul> </div> <hr/> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#f2f2c2; padding:5px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <p><em>The Foundation, and the majority of the world, were clueless back then about the role fantasy could play in leading a healthy life. They saw adults playing pretend and called them childish, sick, demonic, and deluded, when in most cases, it was the only way some of us could</em> escape <em>delusion.</em></p> <p><em>In some cases, people have to escape into fantasy to be their true selves, and in that sense, the line is blurred. I don't know how many people I've met over the years who pretend to be someone they're not in order to survive, only for that mask to come off when they pick up a set of dice and a character sheet. It's… magical, honestly. That's the only way to describe it.</em></p> <p><em>My father died in 1999. I only visited his grave a week ago, and I only did it at the request of my psychiatrist, because after the way he treated me, I never wanted to speak to him again. He never really accepted me for who I am, even after the Foundation tried righting his wrongs. In a way, I should be thankful. They gave me a roof over my head, kept me clothed and fed when I couldn't go back to living how I used to before being abducted, and eventually, gave me a job. But at the same time, they bought into the mass delusion that I was somehow anomalous when in reality, I just wanted to be me.</em></p> <p><em>And now that I am me, I don't want to be anyone else.</em></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p>—Dr. Clara Friedman, RAISA Archivist, 2015.</p> </div> </div> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

SCP-8285	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-8285</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Explained</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-8285 is to be monitored for any reemergence of his anomalous ability. Due to a low risk assessment, and a sudden lack of social presence within his community, active containment measures have been deemed unnecessary at this time. Following initial containment measures, the threat to the veil is negligible.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="Roth_1.jpg" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-8285/Roth_1.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>SCP-8285</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-8285 refers to 87 year old amateur bowler, Earl Roth. SCP-8285 currently resides in the small town of Blairsville, Georgia. SCP-8285 has bowled an estimated 43 perfect games, with eight consecutive perfect games having been recorded at the local bowling alley.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> Though theoretically possible through non-anomalous means, the lack of a pursuit of a professional career in bowling by SCP-8285, combined with the statistical unlikelihood of this accomplishment, it is believed that SCP-8285 has achieved these feats through anomalous means.</p> <p>Though the details remain unclear at this time, SCP-8285 is believed to be capable of minor levels of reality bending. This most likely influencing the way the pins scatter after having been struck, allowing him to influence the outcomes of each roll with minimal risk of being caught.</p> <p><strong>Addendum SCP-8285-A:</strong> Initial Investigation</p> <p>SCP-8285’s potential anomalous ability was discovered during a routine sweep of various Georgia counties. Various townspeople were to be questioned about their recollection of SCP-8285’s activity as a bowler.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p>The local owner of Blairsville’s bowling alley, Jason Troup, was willing to share the history of SCP-8285’s success. Extraneous information was cut.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="All-Star_Bowling_Alley_(Orangeburg_SC)_front_entrance_1.JPG" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-8285/All-Star_Bowling_Alley_(Orangeburg_SC)_front_entrance_1.JPG"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Blairsville Bowling Alley</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> Hell of a guy, I tell you. It was like clockwork, you’d come in to get the electronics up and running, make sure the lanes were oiled, and he’d already be knocking at the door.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> He was there every single day? Never on break, or working a job or anything?</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> I mean he had his days where he was MIA, so to speak.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Missing in action?</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> Never really felt comfortable to ask him about it. At least not until some weeks had gone by. We knew he struggled a bit health-wise, so we'd get scared sometimes, y'know?</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> How'd he pay for all of this? Beyond the bowling, like groceries and utilities? God knows it ain't free.</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> Earl made a fortune off of fool's bets.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> What do you mean by fool’s bets?</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> A fool would walk in here. He'd sit down at the lane and just watch Earl sink ball after ball into the gutter. Eventually, once Earl had really reeled him in, he'd ask the fool if he'd like to make it interesting. I’d come out, set up a seven-ten split, or a big four, and the fool would have sold his daughter to place that kinda bet.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> And everyone would just fall for this?</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> You're not a bowler, are you?</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Not outside of my kid's birthday parties, anyways. Just find it odd so many people would come in and just throw money down.</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> They're practically impossible shots to nail. Yet, almost every single time, Earl would knock em' down. Easy money, really. And since it drove traffic in sometimes, I had no issue with letting him bowl for free. Guy was a freak.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Your uh, wall of fame. Bit one sided, huh?</p> <p><strong>Troup:</strong> Well, you can’t really outcompete the best, can you? No one got close to what he could do. Putting anyone else up on that wall would be an insult to Earl. And trust me, no one would want to see their face on that wall, it'd be an insult to the greatest to ever walk these lanes.</p> </div> <p>Afterwards, SCP-8285 was approached for comment. Though living mostly a reclusive life due to his age and health complications, SCP-8285 was eager to talk about his past achievements. The interview was held in his living room, which had been carefully decorated with plaques, trophies and certificates, all neatly assorted by their date.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Please, please, come in. Hot as balls out there. Care for some sweet tea?</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> No, I’m fine. Thank you for the offer though.</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Troup called ahead and let me know y’all were doing some digging, shooting a documentary or something?</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Yeah, sort of. We stumbled upon your records, and we were quite intrigued to say the least. Always something special to be in the presence of an all-time great.</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> An all-time great? Don’t make me laugh, I’d have to actually bowl with em’ to be considered one. Bowling's just a hobby of mine. End of the day, we're cut from the same cloth.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Well, I can tell you right now, the hall of famers haven’t bowled anywhere close to your level, I mean surely you’d have considered going pro?</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Going pro at a game has to be the silliest thing, y’know? Bowling’s not about the money, or the airtime and certainly no cute girls care about some ol' bowler.</p> <p><em>Roth laughs, before catching his breath.</em></p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Y’see, life had dealt me bad hand from the start, you'd think you can’t do nothing but fold… But that didn’t quite sit right by me, y’know?</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Troup mentioned health issues, I'm assuming that's what you're talking about?</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Issues was puttin' it lightly. I wanted to make the most of the life I had left, and that didn’t have me playing in some fancy ol’ venue up in God knows where. It had me sitting down, having a beer with Jason and just bowling in that old, broken down joint.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Made quite a lot of money on those lanes though, huh?</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Sure, but you gotta pay the bills somehow.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> I really do find that quite odd, Mr. Roth.</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Earl’s fine, bud.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> It's just - you’d have to be stupid to not try to make something out yourself with that talent of yours. Why stop at betting and not just go a step beyond and bowl in tournaments? Travel the country and all that?</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> I must be a prime dumbass to you then!</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> It wasn't meant to get personal.</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> To hell with that. Point is, I grew up here, my pops grew up here, my pop-pop grew up here, it's my town. The PBA just don't get it, talking about some RPM bullshit and all these "modern" analytics. At the end of the day, I care about whether or not the pins are knocked down.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Want me to be upfront with you?</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Shoot.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> There’s simply no way you are as good as they claim you are. Your achievements are astronomical, I mean, not even once in a lifetime rare, but flat out impossible. If you take a look at the numb-</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> It's not about no damn numbers. You listen here, bu-</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> You're misunderstandi-</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> I hear ya' loud and clear. You come in here and tell me what I'm supposed to be capable of? I know damn well how good I bowl, and I know I did it right by God.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> See, I just don't buy that. We've checked hundreds of bowler's stats, and you want to tell me you're the single outlier? It ain't possible, unless of course…</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> I see what this is about. You're really gonna sit there in your fancy ol' suit and all and tell me I'm a cheat?</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> A cheat's rubbing it in, I am just saying that whether you were aware of it or not-</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> I couldn't live myself to besmirch the beautiful game like that, I got here because of my damn work ethic. I came down to the alley and bowled night and day to get where I am.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> So you really want to sell me the idea that you just somehow are better than the people on the PBA tour? Those players who bowl on some of the most competitive patterns and genuinely understand each facet there is to the game? You’re just that much better, huh?</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> Hell, I got the games to prove it! I spent decades perfecting my craft, and if some young buck "professionals" ain't able to roll better than me, then that's their problem, not mine.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Just skip the bullshit and tell me how you did it Roth.</p> <p><strong>Roth:</strong> I would very much prefer Earl! If you aren't gonna listen to a word I have to say or show me a semblance of respect, then I think we're done here. I ain't going to listen to some wisecracking guy, who's got no idea what it's like to be good at something through sheer grit alone.</p> <p><strong>Agent Belmonte:</strong> Trust me, I’ve got things I’m good at Mr. Roth…</p> </div> <br/> <strong>Addendum SCP-8285-B:</strong> Containment Efforts <p>Through the sheer impossibility of his achievements, it was concluded that SCP-8285 had been capable of high class reality bending. Due to SCP-8285 having retired, containment measures were initially deemed unnecessary, though following an appeal by Agent Belmonte, the following containment protocol was put into place.</p> <p>Due to numerous witness accounts certifying SCP-8285’s achievements during his amateur career, it was imperative that these accounts were contested. Amnestic usage was not only recommended, but necessary to prevent any potential threat to the veil posed by the publication of SCP-8285’s accomplishments.</p> <p>A report was published, containing information pertaining to SCP-8285 having engaged in fraud throughout his bowling career. Pre-existing records were contested and altered to reflect the illegitimacy of SCP-8285’s achievements. The fact that SCP-8285 was highly unathletic and never was capable of the high level of bowling that he has claimed was to be reinforced.</p> <p>Following the publication of the report, SCP-8285 was issued a life-time ban from the local bowling alley, and various awards granted to SCP-8285 were rescinded, including the “Blairsville Committed Citizen Award”, awarded for SCP-8285’s contributions to the local community over the decades.</p> <p>Active containment of SCP-8285 himself is still deemed unnecessary. SCP-8285's reclusive lifestyle meant there was minimal threat to the veil, and due to his now disgraced social status, his impact on the local townspeople was minimal at best. Individuals who had previously recounted SCP-8285’s career, have since been convinced SCP-8285 bowled illegitimately and have refused contact with SCP-8285.</p> <p>SCP-8285 continues to deny the allegations put against him and has challenged the reality of these newly created memories and records, although he has thusfar failed to regain his reputation, and if anything, has actively hurt his social status in the community of Blairsville.</p> <p><strong>Addendum SCP-8285-C:</strong> Incident Report 17/09/2005</p> <p>On the night of the 17th of September 2005, SCP-8285 forced his entry into the Blairsville bowling alley. While Jason Troup was still present on the premises, he only noticed SCP-8285 after he had begun bowling. When Troup confronted SCP-8285, he was told that he would prove all of them wrong. Troup attempted to deescalate the situation, after having contacted the local police department.</p> <p>SCP-8285 recorded the game as it was being played. During this time, SCP-8285 recorded 0 strikes and marked numerous frames as invalid or for “0” points, and has at least worsened his physical condition during play, spraining his knee and dislocating his hip.</p> <p>SCP-8285 was subsequently transported to the hospital, before being discharged the same night. SCP-8285 was guided back to his home and told to rest; a police report was filed, but Troup refused to press charges.</p> <p><strong>Addendum SCP-8285-D:</strong> Apology Letter</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p>To the Roth Estate,</p> <p>We are saddened at the death of Earl Roth ( ✞ 08/02/2006). We offer our condolences for the loss and wish to formally apologize for the investigative report detailing Roth’s early bowling career as having been plagued by fraudulent behavior.</p> <p>This report would no longer have been published according to our modern investigative standard.<br/> The responsible parties however acted within our guidelines for due diligence at the time of publication.

SCP-888-EX is owned by known Person of Interest and parapharmacologist "dado"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> and operated as a dual laundry and tanning service. SCP-888-EX is currently branded as "laundry and tan by dado".</p> <p>As far as can be determined, SCP-888-EX has no anomalous features, phenomena or qualities. Kant counter readings of SCP-888-EX have returned Hume level readings entirely consistent with the surrounding area, and field investigation has revealed no anomalies to be present. Additionally, no equipment that would be of use in the production and distribution of parapharmaceuticals has been located anywhere within SCP-888-EX, indicating that dado does not use SCP-888-EX for either purpose.</p> <p>Since SCP-888-EX is believed to be wholly nonanomalous and attempts to use it to apprehend dado were unsuccessful, it is not within the purview of the SCP Foundation charter. Containment of SCP-888-EX would represent a violation of several clauses between the Foundation and the Unusual Incidents Unit within the <a href="/the-gulf">SUSEOCT</a> (Southern United States Extranormal Organization Cooperation Treaty). Therefore, SCP-888-EX has been allowed to resume prior business operations.</p> <p><strong>Addendum-A:</strong> SCP-888-EX was discovered during <a href="/log-of-extranormal-events">Extranormal Event</a>-82901, in which multiple billboards in the Southern Florida region were anomalously altered to display an advertisement for SCP-888-EX. The following text was discovered on each billboard, written over any preexisting advertisement.</p> <div style="font-size: 1.7em; text-align:center; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', 'Comic Sans', 'Short Stack', cursive;"> <blockquote> <p>helo <sub>(this is dado)</sub></p> <p>are u in need of cleaner clothes</p> <p>or dirtier skin?</p> <p>fear not<br/> for <span style="background: linear-gradient(to right, #FF7F7F, #FFB27F, #FFE97F, #A5FF7F, #7FC9FF, #D67FFF, #FF7FED); -webkit-background-clip: text; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;">laundry and tan by dado</span><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> can do <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">all</span> both</p> <p>conviently located in █████████<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup></p> <p><sup>trust dado</sup></p> </blockquote> </div> <p>Notably, the closest anomalously altered billboard was located approximately fifty kilometers away from █████████, FL, USA.</p> <p>While previous statements by dado had indicated that SCP-888-EX existed, this was the first indication of SCP-888-EX's location. Due to the prior interactions with dado, SCP-888-EX was assigned an SCP designation as proper investigation began. However, it was determined that despite the anomalous method of SCP-888-EX's advertising, SCP-888-EX itself was mundane.</p> <p><strong>Addendum-B:</strong> The following is a transcription of the body camera of a Foundation agent attempting to investigate SCP-888-EX, conducted before the reclassification of SCP-888-EX as Explained.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>[</strong>BEGIN LOG<strong>]</strong></p> <p><em>Agent Min activates his hidden body camera and adjusts it before exiting his vehicle and entering SCP-888-EX. He is greeted at the front desk by a receptionist, a teenage male.</em></p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> Hello, welcome to laundry and tan by dado. Are you here for the laundry or the tan.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Actually, I'm from City Hall. I was hoping to speak with the owner.</p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> I don't know who that is.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Our records say that the owner goes by the name of dado? The name of the establishment is "laundry and tan by dado".</p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> Oh. That makes sense.</p> <p><em>There is a short pause.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Um, I still need to speak with him.</p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> Can't help you.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Could I perhaps speak to the manager?</p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> I guess.</p> <p><em>The receptionist turns around and yells into the backroom of SCP-888-EX.</em></p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> Hey Eric!</p> <p><em>The manager of SCP-888-EX exits the backroom in response.</em></p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> What's this about?</p> <p><strong>Receptionist:</strong> This guy.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Hello, I'm from City Hall. I'm trying to get in contact with the owner of this establishment, dado?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Oh sure, I can help you. Do you want to take this to my office?</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> That's fine.</p> <p><em>The manager of SCP-888-EX leads Agent Min into the back of SCP-888-EX and into his office, offering Agent Min a seat.</em></p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> So, the truth is that, uh, I've never actually met dado.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Never?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> No, not once. I have his phone number, but I've never actually met the man.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> How were you hired?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> I saw an ad in the paper a year back, looking for a manager. It said to send in a resume, so I did. A couple days later I got a call saying I was hired and was told to head over here. Once I got here, I had a whole list of tasks and a wad of cash.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> So you just … started working for dado without ever meeting him?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Yeah… He files all the paperwork and everything fine, I've just never seen him. The job pays well enough and there's nothing illegal going on, so…</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Is it a fair assumption to say that you are responsible for running this, then?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> I'd really say so. I've done all of the hiring and filing. dado is mostly hands off.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> I see. You do have a way to contact dado, correct?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Well, I have his number, I can give you that.</p> <p><em>The manager of SCP-888-EX writes a phone number down and gives it to Agent Min.</em></p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Thank you. While I'm here, I'd like to ask you about an advertising incident that occurred for this establishment.</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> We've never advertised.</p> <p><em>Agent Min produces photos of the billboards modified during Extranormal Event-82901 and places them on the table between himself and the manager of SCP-888-EX.</em></p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> When did this happen?</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Last week.</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> So, a couple weeks ago I mentioned to dado that business was slumping a little. He got all worried and said that he'd help me out, set up some advertising for us here. So I guess this is the result of that.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> You've never seen these before?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Never and… oh god, these are awful. They don't have our number or address on them! How are people supposed to find us? And… oh god, "dirtier skin"? <em>Dirtier skin</em>?</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> So I imagine that you have not had an increase in business since then?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Well, now that you mention it… I think the FBI is monitoring us now, it started a week ago. There's all these unmarked vans in the parking lot now; I'm pretty sure I saw some point a geiger counter at me the other day; these guys will show up at the same time, walk in together and then not talk to each other at all while they're here, the whole time walking around looking everywhere.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Ah, well, dado is wanted for involvement in some, illegal activities.</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Oh, he actually mentioned something like that once. He said he made "magic" drugs that were unlike anything you could get in the world.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Really?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Yeah, I asked him if he could make some magic stuff for here.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> What did he say?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> "dado not god. dado cannot do all. dado is not in field of anomalaundry." Whatever that's supposed to mean.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> That's something.</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Yeah, something all right.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> I have to say, your employer seems quite odd. Did he ever explain why he operates like this? With all the no contact? Why does he run this?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> I actually asked him why he was interested in this place. He said he was a "true capitalist" and this was a "way to expand business opportunity".</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> And you? Why do you work here?</p> <p><strong>Manager:</strong> Pays well, and in this economy I can't afford to be picky.</p> <p><strong>Agent Min:</strong> Well, thank you. This has been helpful.</p> <p><em>Agent Min leaves SCP-888-EX and deactivates his body camera.</em></p> <p><strong>[</strong>END LOG<strong>]</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>The phone number provided has been verified as accurate and as the method by which the manager of SCP-888-EX contacts dado, but all attempts at communication or tracing the number have been unsuccessful.</p> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

It first began to appear in the mid to late 1800s, as a side effect of certain photography techniques, but was restrained only to the photographic plates themselves and did not spread. Of note is that the appearance of SCP-8900 manifestations in these photographs seems to [REDACTED]elopment of photographic technology. SCP-8900 as we know it today seems to have developed in or around 1935, possibly as a result of the █████ Corporation's experiments with "integral tripack" ██████████ technology.</span></p> <p><strong>Addendum 8900-2:</strong></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">[SECTION AVAILABLE BY O-5 ORDER ONLY]</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">[From the desk of O5-8]</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><br/> <em>Gentlemen, we have failed.

The locker is to be enclosed in a Faraday cage which in turn is to be placed in a containment chamber that is shielded to prevent radio, cellular-phone, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microwave, infrared and any other form of electronic communication. Under no circumstances is SCP-920 to be connected to an electrical power source or communications network.

Such paper copies, and not any electronic copies of any such documentation, are to be regarded as the reference documentation. Whenever possible, personnel involved in the containment and study of SCP-920 are to meet in person and orally brief one another on their findings.</span></p> <p>SUPERSEDED BY POLICY DIRECTIVE K-23396-D6.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-920 is a workgroup printer superficially resembling those manufactured and distributed by the ███████ Corporation in 200█. The printer bears a placard indicating model number E466at but ███████ manufactured no such model. The subject's physical components are unremarkable.</p> <p>The internal software of the subject printer consist of complex algorithms that affect the functionality of the subject's print function, and the functionality of computers, systems, networks or devices with which the subject directly or indirectly interacts. These effects manifest in several stages (not always in the following sequence):</p> <table class="wiki-content-table"> <tr> <th>Stage</th> <th>Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td>01</td> <td>Normal functionality.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>02</td> <td>Printer occasionally fails to properly execute print commands in any of several ways, including mechanical paper jams, failure to set toner such that print product smears, or displays flashing error codes while refusing to print.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>03</td> <td>Same as Stage 2. On occasion, a document sent to printer will appear to print normally but with subtle changes in the content of document.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>04</td> <td>Same as Stages 2-3. Other printers connected to the same network, regardless of make and model, will also exhibit Stage 3 behavior. It is believed that the subject propagates code to such other printers in the manner of a computer virus.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>05</td> <td>Same as Stages 2-4. Printer (and other printers on the same network) will make dramatic changes to printed documents, including altering or reversing the meaning of text.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>06</td> <td>Same as Stages 2-5. Electronic devices in the vicinity of any affected printer, such as enterprise telephone systems and photocopiers, will evince anomalous behavior such as "phantom" telephone calls, photocopier paper jams, telephone line static and changes to files stored on computers. The manner in which the algorithms are propagated from affected printers to other hardware is not understood.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>07</td> <td>Same as Stages 2-6. Computers connected to the same network as any affected hardware will occasionally engage in spontaneous behavior such as creating and distributing documents such as email messages, Powerpoint presentations, paper memoranda and other files. Affected voicemail systems will produce phantom "messages", and users of affected telephone systems will receive phantom telephone calls which originate from SCP-920 but which impersonate the voice and mannerisms of other individuals within the organization. These documents and communications generally appear to be consistent in form with those normally produced by the organization maintaining or using the network, but they purport to change organizational policy or instruct personnel to take, or to refrain from taking, various actions.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>08</td> <td>Same as Stages 2-7. Mechanical and environmental systems of any structure housing affected equipment will occasionally engage in anomalous behavior. Such behavior may include elevator doors refusing to open, or closing suddenly and with great force; plumbing systems heating water to dangerous temperatures, HVAC systems introducing contaminants into the atmosphere, hazardous electrical shorts from wiring, and a failure of electronic door locks to disengage.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>09</td> <td>Same as Stages 2-8. Irregular behavior extends to electronic and mechanical systems in proximity to any electronic device that has, in turn, been in proximity to an affected system. Affected systems may include a cellular telephone that has been brought into a building that contains an affected network, a motor vehicle whose passenger cabin contains or formerly contained such a cellular telephone, or electronic systems in locations near such a vehicle.</td> </tr> </table> <p>SCP-920's algorithms have the consequence of altering the behavior of organizations that use affected systems. The messages that affected systems deliver to individuals appear to originate from those individuals' superiors within the organization's chain of command. Those messages cause the organization to undertake particular policy initiatives, changes in management structure, or other organizational decisions that, when analyzed objectively, are not consistent with the organization's mission or goals. The agenda or underlying intentions of the algorithm are not understood.</p> <p>The SCP-920 algorithms are believed to incorporate self-preservation functionality. Among the actions and policy decisions that the SCP-920 causes an organization's personnel to undertake are actions that facilitate the acceleration of the spread of the algorithms, and that hinder actions that are likely to retard it. In particular, Stage 08 and 09 behavior appear to occur only when necessary in order to prevent an individual from interfering with the algorithm.</p> <p><strong>Recovery Notes</strong>: SCP-920 was recovered from the headquarters of ██████ Insurance Company in 20██. The insurance company had become insolvent and entered receivership following a pattern of promoting unsuitable employees to positions of responsibility within the institution, which appears to have commenced approximately five months after the company had obtained and installed SCP-920 in its offices. This time period also coincided with seemingly arbitrary, and unsound, policy changes in the company's insurance underwriting and human resources practices.</p> <p>The subject came to the Foundation's attention after Foundation agents recovered the body of Jermaine ████. Mr. ████ was the assistant information technology officer for the company. He had asphyxiated in his automobile in the garage of his residence; investigation of the scene indicated that Mr. ████ had entered his vehicle and activated the motor, but was then unable to operate the automatic garage door or the vehicle's power locks before he was overcome by carbon monoxide poisoning. Handwritten notes found on Mr. ████'s person referred to SCP-920 and outlined a plan to remove it from the company office building and destroy it.</p> </div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Policy Directive K-23396-D6</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">– hide block</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Policy Directive K-23396-D6 dated ██-██-20██</p> <p>SCP-920 is to be removed from containment and returned to normal service in the Accounts Payable department at the Foundation's administrative headquarters.

Dr. Jones was working in Site-46's Safe SCP wing before reporting that she felt lightheaded. She was then transported to rest in Site-46's medical bay for examination, but personnel found her deceased shortly after she laid herself down.</p> <p>Dr. Jones' previous medical examinations documented her as healthy. No contact with any anomalous objects were made around the time of her death. The toxicology report revealed no poisons present in her body.</p> <p>The SCP classification and investigation into SCP-970-EX was directly ordered by O5-9.

Interaction with SCP-999-EX is encouraged, but not necessary, to facilitate its sense of comfort. Should SCP-999-EX vocalize distress, it is to be reminded of its remarkable behavior and a reasonable amount of physical encouragement (i.e. petting, rubbing the anomaly's abdominal region, scratching behind its ears etc.) is to be administered by approved Foundation veterinarians.</p> <p><strong>CONTAINMENT PROCEDURE UPDATE:</strong> SCP-999-EX has been released to its original owner.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><a href="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-999-ex/dog"><img alt="dog" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--resized-images/scp-999-ex/dog/medium.jpg"/></a> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>SCP-999-EX moments before release.</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-999-EX is a golden retriever physically indistinguishable from non-anomalous members of its species. SCP-999-EX has demonstrated the capacity for limited human speech, although it is either incapable or unwilling to vocalize its thoughts outside of ideal circumstances (Defined below).</p> <p>Prior to -EX classification, SCP-999-EX made several continuous complaints to containment staff at Site-83. Site Director Alaina Chin proposed appealing to some of these requests to the Ethics Committee, citing that allotting the anomaly some leeway would establish enough trust in Foundation staff for SCP-999-EX to be thoroughly interrogated.</p> <p>The following is a comprehensive list of requests made by the anomaly during its containment.</p> <table class="wiki-content-table"> <tr> <th>REQUEST</th> <th>REASONING</th> <th>STATUS</th> </tr> <tr> <td>An automatic tennis ball thrower</td> <td>Exercise</td> <td><strong><span style="color: green">APPROVED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>A highly durable chew toy</td> <td>Dental Care</td> <td><strong><span style="color: green">APPROVED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>An MSI GF65 Thin laptop</td> <td>"Dog Stuff"</td> <td><strong><span style="color: red">DENIED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>10lbs of crisp bacon</td> <td>Sustenance</td> <td><strong><span style="color: green">APPROVED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>A Fortnite themed Playstation 5 Slim</td> <td>Enrichment</td> <td><strong><span style="color: red">DENIED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>A copy of the movie <em>Air Bud</em></td> <td>Education</td> <td><strong><span style="color: green">APPROVED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>13lbs of Wagyu Beef</td> <td>Sustenance</td> <td><strong><span style="color: green">APPROVED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>A spa retreat</td> <td>Relaxation</td> <td><strong><span style="color: red">DENIED</span></strong><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td>"Belly rubs"</td> <td>Relaxation</td> <td><strong><span style="color: green">APPROVED</span></strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>A Lockheed SR-71 blackbird "with all the fixins"</td> <td>"Dog stuff"</td> <td><strong><span style="color: red">DENIED</span></strong></td> </tr> </table> <p><strong>Re-classification:</strong> Three days following SCP-999-EX's containment, Foundation veterinarians elected to experiment on several stray and owned canines without Overseer approval. They brought a total of 19 canines to Site-83, all of whom were treated with the same containment protocols as SCP-999-EX. All of the canines expressed similar desires to Foundation staff as SCP-999-EX and were released when it was discovered that every canine was capable of speech but simply chose not to for an unknown reason.</p> <p>Once this discovery was made, SCP-999-EX thanked Foundation staff for their exemplary treatment and requested to remain at Site-83.

This structure must have a Class VII Reality Cell system<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> constantly active to prevent space-time deformations. SCP-001-IT is chained to the ground by steel-niobium alloy chains and is constantly monitored by security cameras and movement sensors. In case signals of its awakening are detected, the cell must be filled with soporific gases; should they not be effective, the speakers in the room must be activated and reproduce Class XVIII or higher auditive memetic agents for at least 25 minutes. The <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/organizzazione-interna">Superintendence</a> must be informed immediately of any events regarding SCP-001-IT.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-001-IT is an extradimensional entity of reptilian appearance, measuring 34 m in length and weighing 17 tons. Its body is covered by bony plates, and it possesses six wings with iridescent feathers. SCP-001-IT possesses clawed tentacles that can be everted from the oral cavity or from three pairs of holes on its neck and that can be used to grab and manipulate objects with extreme accuracy. SCP-001-IT is capable of speaking fluently in Latin, Ancient Greek, and archaic forms of Italian and German; however, because of the enormous risks SCP-001-IT poses when awake, no interviews have been attempted.</p> <p>According to the documents from <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/gruppi-di-interesse">Ordo Iani</a>, SCP-001-IT originally manifested as a shapeless mass of tentacles expanding around an almost spherical central core that presented underdeveloped sensory organs and the entity's mouth. Two years after its first appearance, the entity presented itself in a more organized shape, with a cephalic region where the tentacles were disposed radially and a body where they were interweaved and partially fused to form a snake-like shape measuring 45 m in length. According to Site Deus' experts, SCP-001-IT emerged in a form unfit to physical laws and that, over time, it adapted itself in order to become more stable.</p> <p>SCP-001-IT can manipulate space within ██ m from itself when fully conscious; this allows it to manipulate objects and to create defensive barriers. The latter, combined with its natural physical resistance to damage, makes it impervious to most conventional and anomalous weapons. SCP-001-IT's cell was created in order to prevent it from breaching containment or manipulating reality outside the room; in 2004 a Reality Cell system was implemented to strengthen the structure and, at the same time, [DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF THE SUPERINTENDENCE].</p> <p><strong>History of the anomaly:</strong> The first documents about SCP-001-IT date back to August 1236. The entity assaulted various villages along the coast currently part of the Andria province and some survivors informed the Emperor Frederick II of its existence. In the following two years, SCP-001-IT advanced inland and was attacked repeatedly by the army and the <em>Ordo Iani</em>, ally of the Emperor, without suffering significant damage in any of the battles. This prompted the ruler to put aside his differences with the Papal State and to ask help to Pope Gregory IX; he, after many hesitations, sent a division of the <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/gruppi-di-interesse#ccsg">CCSG</a> to support Frederick II and to study and classify the anomaly in May 1239. At the end of the year, after alarming reports about the presumed nature of SCP-001-IT, the Pope sent the other three divisions of the Brotherhood, with the permission to use the CCSG's most powerful Relics.</p> <p>The Brotherhood's troops joined the imperial army and, at the beginning of 1240, fought SCP-001-IT 18 km from Andria. Despite the massive losses, the coalition finally managed to prevail using a Relic<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> that overwhelmed SCP-001-IT's defensive barriers and struck it directly, provoking a great explosion that knocked out the anomaly and opened a deep crater. Using the Brotherhood and the Ordo Iani's esoteric knowledge, Frederick II ordered the construction of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/siti-italiani#toc6">a structure</a> that would act as a barrier to imprison SCP-001-IT.</p> <p>SCP-001-IT remained dormant in the following centuries, slowly modifying its appearance; it reached its current form in 1933 and, from that year, started to show signals of its awakening; they culminated in 1934 when SCP-001-IT tried to escape and was stopped only with the usage of a Class XV memetic agent. The RIDIA learned about the accident and took part in the containment of SCP-001-IT until its dissolution.</p> <p><strong>Contingencies in case of a containment breach:</strong> Because of SCP-001-IT's great destructive capabilities when fully awake, it is impossible to prevent an "End of Secrecy" scenario should it escape containment. The Superintendence, in accord with the O5 Council and the Boards of Directors of the other Branches of the Foundation, considers the use of protocols of historical revision inevitable to hide any possible proof of SCP-001-IT's existence and of the events following the breach, along with the institution of a temporary government during the time period between the breach and the contingencies' actuation.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 1:</strong> A study conducted in 2001 in the archives of Ordo Iani and RIDIA revealed that the appearance of SCP-001-IT was followed by a great increment in the anomalies on the Italian territory, with a particular prevalence of extradimensional entities and objects concentrated mostly in Northern Apulia. It is believed that SCP-001-IT's emergence destabilized the region's space-time continuum and is the cause of [DATA EXPUNGED BY ORDER OF THE SUPERINTENDENCE].</p> <h2 id="toc3"><span>Documents from Ordo Iani on SCP-001-IT, translated from the originals in Latin:</span></h2> <div class="colmod-block"> <ul> <li class="folded"> <ul> <li style="list-style: none">_</li> </ul> <div class="colmod-link-top"> <div class="foldable-list-container"><a href="javascript:;">+ Open the document</a><a href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> </div> <div class="colmod-content"> <script src="https://d3g0gp89917ko0.cloudfront.net/v--4b961b7cc327/common--javascript/yahooui/tabview-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <div class="yui-navset" id="wiki-tabview-f0c79a11ad0ed1d7717104b5d3682a62"> <ul class="yui-nav"> <li class="selected"><a href="javascript:;"><em>First letter</em></a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;"><em>Second letter</em></a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;"><em>Third letter</em></a></li> </ul> <div class="yui-content"> <div id="wiki-tab-0-0"> <p><strong>Letter from an anonymous member of the Ordo Iani to the Council, dated 23/08/1236:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Illustrious members of the Council,<br/> today, a few inhabitants of a village near Andria requested the audience of the Emperor: according to their words, they are the survivors of the attack of an abhorrent beast that ripped the skies and fell to the ground, crushing with its enormous mass a few buildings.

We know it will not be enough: we pray however that our successors will have the means to destroy once and for all the beast, succeeding where we failed.</p> <p><strong>Update dated 11/03/1929:</strong> According to the documents obtained from the RIDIA after the stipulation of the Lateran Pacts, Dia-000 spent its centuries of imprisonment slowly mutating its form and taking its true appearance: a massive reptile, with armored skin and large feathered wings. It is clear that our fathers' intuition was correct and that, prisoner below Castel del Monte, there is the Dragon of Revelation, the Herald of the End of Times.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ OZONE.dom.onDomReady(function(){ var tabView851f1686751a163eef6ef5a6f6058826 = new YAHOO.widget.TabView('wiki-tabview-851f1686751a163eef6ef5a6f6058826'); }, "dummy-ondomready-block"); //]]> </script></div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 id="toc5"><span>Extract of the message of the last General Director of the RIDIA to the Superintendence about SCP-001-IT.</span></h2> <div class="colmod-block"> <ul> <li class="folded"> <ul> <li style="list-style: none">_</li> </ul> <div class="colmod-link-top"> <div class="foldable-list-container"><a href="javascript:;">+ Open the document</a><a href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> </div> <div class="colmod-content"> <div class="ridia-sfondo"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><span class="ridia-titolo"><br/> REGIO ISTITVTO<br/> DELLE ITALICHE<br/> A N O M A L I Æ<br/></span></p> </div> <br/> <span class="ridia-testo"><br/> […] The day my predecessor brought me before Nero-044<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> is the day I understood that man, despite being gifted with genius and knowledge like no other being on Earth, will never fully understand the mysteries of the world around it: the slumbering creature that laid before me was just the reflection of something massive and uncomparable which, moved by unknown reasons, chose to obey to laws beneath itself.<br/> <br/></span> <p><span class="ridia-testo">It is the reason our country is flagellated by anomalous beings and unexplainable occurrences: during its appearance, its immense power shattered a delicate equilibrium that shall never be repaired.</span></p> <p><span class="ridia-testo">Today, a painful day in which I expiate both this once glorious Institute and my own sins, I leave you an ungrateful duty, like an unworthy father leaves its debts to his children.

This condition often induces symptoms of bodily inadequacy and personal dissatisfaction, with subjects reporting having defects such as "unkempt hair/extremely porous skin/oily skin" and "a deformed face", which makes them rapidly develop various mental disorders related to their appearances<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> until now.

Application of amnestics did not succeed in reverting subjects to their mental states before the exposure to SCP-002-PT, but behavioral therapies<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> were successful in influencing those affected by SCP-002-PT-A to be perceived with the same characteristics present in SCP-002-PT-B, which significantly reduces mental disorders previously presented. Studies about effective treatments for complete cancellation of cognitive disorders have not been successful but are in progress.</p> <p>SCP-002-PT was discovered on May 2014 after a considerable increase in suicide rate and diagnoses of psychosis and schizophrenia in adolescents from densely populated metropolitan areas, mainly ████ █████████-██ and █████ ██ ██████-██. When subjects admitted to hospitals and psychiatric wards (without previous history of diagnosed symptoms) were asked about the reason for such sudden behavior, they said they were afflicted by a strong feeling of inadequacy, related to the presence of specific transfigurations in their bodies (now classified as SCP-002-PT-A) compared to characteristics considered normal and desirable (classified as SCP-002-PT-B). When questioned about what led to the brutal methods of self-mutilation frequently observed, some subjects mentioned reading about such in a magazine aimed at the young female audience, although they did not recall specific details. Investigations in the residence of one of the subjects<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> led to the discovery of SCP-002-PT (later confirmed as the journal mentioned by the respondents and in past or present possession of other subjects affected by SCP-002-PT-A), which was suspected and subsequently confirmed to have potential cognitive risks, based on observations of its disturbing content. 40 instances of the object are stored in File 66-002 of Storage-66, intended for possible future experiments.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ SCP-002-PT-A </a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Hide</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>SCP-002-PT-A mainly affects young humans between 10 and 17 years of age, although rare cases have been reported in individuals between the ages of 8 and 52 years.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup> Symptoms of SCP-002-PT-A may manifest instantaneously or up to 72 hours after reading SCP-002-PT's contents, including personal conceptional changes with recurring characteristics<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-10" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-10')">10</a></sup> like:</p> <ul> <li>Scalp and hair follicles with texture and appearance similar to a poriferous material, wood and decaying algae;</li> <li>Epidermis with texture and appearance similar to human tissue with varying levels of infection and/or putrefaction, sewage residue, semi-digested foods combined with bile and fecal material (human or rural animals);<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-11" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-11')">11</a></sup></li> <li>Atrial cartilage, nasal pyramid and lips (upper and lower) comprised of protruding and dilated tumours, ranging in size from 5.5 cm to 10.2 cm;</li> <li>Body constitution and height simultaneously feeling inadequately skinny, fat (from 35 kg to 390 kg), and short, tall (about 1.4 m to 2.2 m).</li> </ul> <p>These described symptoms often influence subjects to reach extremes in attempts to 'fix' their appearance by means of cosmetic application of toxic chemicals in their bodies and extreme self-mutilation, with the purpose of shaping their physical appearance in order to bring it closer to that of subjects designed as SCP-002-PT-B — which is how individuals affected by SCP-002-PT-A perceive other human beings, both personally and by artistic representations.</p> <p>SCP-002-PT-B consists of characteristics fundamentally contrary to those of SCP-002-PT-A, such as:</p> <ul> <li>Scalp and hair follicles with texture and appearance similar to organic materials such as silk, cotton and/or bird feathers;</li> <li>Epidermis with texture and appearance similar to various solidified beverages and crystallized fruits, including but not limited to milk, coffee, chocolate, peach, vanilla and cinnamon;</li> <li>Atrial cartilage, nasal pyramid and concave upper and lower lips, submerged up to 5 cm in facial bone structure;</li> <li>Body constitution and a "perfect" height for a healthy teenager/adult (about 50 and 85 kg/1.65 cm to 1.85cm).</li> </ul> <p>It is to be noted that subjects affected by SCP-002-PT-B do not suffer any cognitive disturbance and such changes are limited only by the designed conception of subjects affected by SCP-002-PT-A; in addition, subjects affected by SCP-002-PT-A also see other subjects affected by the same anomalous effects with the appearance of SCP-002-PT-B.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Excerpt of SCP-002-PT</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Hide</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Foreword:</strong> <em>The following is an excerpt from one of the featured articles contained in SCP-002-PT for example purposes.

Renew thine skin</span></h3> <p>I bet after this summer you must be feeling <em>hor-ri-ble</em>, even more with that greasy, burnt skin, practically falling apart! Even dung must be more hydrated than you during this summer, don't you think? I bet you must be thinking now: "But Capricious, what do I need to be <strong>delicious</strong>? My pharmacy moisturizer does not work and I look like a caricature of a human being who was vomited by beasts that feed on fire and sulphur!"</p> <p>Fret not, my girls! There are lots of super creative ways you can invent to actually <em>polish</em> this sewage compost and rotten meat that you call skin through super effective homemade moisturizers, like bee honey mixed with sugar, avocado with aloe vera extract mixed with rainwater, homemade bleach, sandpaper, graters, or better yet: All together! If you're creative you can make it all fit into one allowance.</p> <h3 id="toc3"><span>2. Treat your hair</span></h3> <p>Anyone who has spent this <em>suuuper</em> hot holidays enjoying the Sun, sea or just staying at home watching the hottest shows should already be noticing the consequences of cooling their heads for so long. If you are only now realizing how much your hair is porous, dry and rotten, like someone who <em>literally</em> took a nuclear bomb to the face compared to those hypnotizing silk threads of the diva ███████ ███████, I bet you're itching to know what to do about it, urgently. So let's put your hand in the dough!<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-13" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-13')">13</a></sup></p> <p>Use a hair plank, Babyliss and mousse — do not waste it if you really want to shake that mane on the way back to class just in the most <strong>smooth</strong> and tame way as possible! For a hair like yours, the treatment of the current trend is the progressive brush with jabuticaba (just don't eat it!). Do you have the allowance? Get a flatiron (yes, that one from your mother) and warm up that scalp! For more effective results, try to make a mixture of ██████, ████ syrup, chlorine and ███████████ of █████: mix everything in a bucket and sink your head for about 5 minutes, it'll be <em>MARVELOUS</em>!</p> <h3 id="toc4"><span>3.

I bet you've seen, like, 5 tutorials to try and make contour like ██████ █████ and you ended looking like a clown who got caught and had her face deep into a fryer full of hot oil and charcoal, right? No shame, you can admit. Do you think there's no way to fix this face? Here's the tip (it works even when you need to cook!): There's stuff you can't reuse, and it's easier to it throw away. Take a knife, blowtorch, whatever you have available and start to cut everything that you can until your face is smooth, but you have to work hard, it's no use giving up on the first sign of difficulty (tip: a sock in the throat isolates any noise, and still distracts you from the pain!). When you notice that you are exfoliated enough, use lots of mask and eyeliner to highlight your new fantastic and super <strong>attractive</strong> mouth, plus a blush in your favourite pink shade on those cheeks, giving <em>that</em> colour. For detailed tips on how to take advantage of makeup trends, see page 20!</p> <p>None of these tricks worked? Can not stand your shameful existence any longer?

After being accommodated in a kennel, SCP-004-IT refused the food offered to it for more than a week and responded aggressively to any attempt to tame it. Because of that, its physical conditions rapidly got worse and its body apparently aged by almost one year.

Its weight is estimated to be twenty gigatons. Its hull is completely black and consists of a metal similar to steel, the components of which, until now, could not be completely identified. The craft is propelled by six turbines located on the stern and the sides, that can be controlled independently from each other. SCP-005-INT can reach speeds from up to twenty-five knots and has in the past tolerated water pressures exceeding 400 bar.

This fuel is synthesized by a subsystem of the vessel, using ordinary seawater pumped in from outside, allowing SCP-005-INT to stay in operation indefinitely. How the process of synthesis occurs is a subject of study at the moment.</p> <p>The submarine is also self-sufficient in regard to other functions; it recycles used air, human waste, and defective machine parts using several systems located on its lower decks in order to create new provisions, fresh air, new spare parts, and produce new instances of SCP-005-INT-1 as well as other assets. Should more materials be required on board, several 005-INT-1 instances will be dispatched to search, and extract the required resources from the nearby environment- for example, the seafloor or sunken watercraft.</p> <p>These properties allow SCP-005-INT to remain deployed at sea for, theoretically, an indefinite amount of time without the need to return to a dock, or the surface to restock.

Afterwards, the underwater habitats do not require any further care by SCP-005-INT and can function independently. Larger, and more well-equipped habitats even have the ability to expand by themselves if necessary. The Foundation has already made use of this ability several times in the past to create sites underwater.</p> <p>SCP-005-INT possesses several smaller submarines (hereafter labelled as SCP-005-INT-2), housed in its dry docks, to be deployed as units to scout the area where an underwater habitat is to be created. These vehicles are one hundred meters in length, ten meters at their widest point, and eight meters in height, equipped with the same systems of recycling, and movement as SCP-005-INT but in an adapted scale; up until recently, these instances have been capable of withstanding similar water pressures as SCP-005-INT itself without negative effects.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="Deap-Sea-Diver.jpg" class="image" src="https://scp-int.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-005-int/Deap-Sea-Diver.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Agent Schuster during the testing of a SCP-005-INT-3 instance on the <em>SCPS Möwe</em>.

Even if these habitats might be incredibly cool, and that SCP-005-INT does the heavy-lifting for us, they <strong>still are</strong> very expensive to maintain.<br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p>— Dr. Chaves, <em>SCP-005-INT Project Head</em>.</p> </div> </div> <p>Despite SCP-005-INT's size and functions, it only requires ten trained individuals employing its systems in order to operate at full capacity. It can also be operated by a single individual if it is only required to perform its basic functions, as the boat is majorly operated and maintained by an onboard AI (hereafter referred to as SCP-005-INT-4), named ARC<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup>.</p> <p>SCP-005-INT-4 is capable of controlling most functions of SCP-005-INT systems alone but requires input when required to perform certain tasks. The AI also manages the creation of underwater habitats according to the collected data, constructing the structure on request. SCP-005-INT-4 terminals possess a user-friendly editor software to input the necessary data to process these requests.</p> <p>SCP-005-INT-4 is sentient, sapient, and capable of communicating. The AI interacts with SCP-005-INT's crew to relay suggestions, issue/threat warnings related to the integrity of SCP-005-INT, and reports about its elementary assets, such as its systems, and the crew itself. However, despite its cooperation regarding any request issued to it, SCP-005-INT possesses a passive-aggressive attitude and prolifically utilizes dark humor in prose. SCP-005-INT-4 refers to itself as male, which is further complemented by its emulated voice. Additionally, SCP-005-INT-4 seems to possess complex personality traits.</p> <p>SCP-005-INT-4's computing center is located in the center of SCP-005-INT and requires an unknown password to access. SCP-005-INT-4 has advised against usage of any brute force methods to find out the access code because it would delete itself after five unsuccessful tries. The deletion would also happen in case of forced entry. Therefore, Foundation assets added a separate enclosure protected by a retina scanner to the code panel to prevent unauthorized attempts of access. SCP-005-INT-4 has stated that this precaution does not impede the maintenance of its hardware by SCP-005-INT-1 in any way.</p> <p>SCP-005-INT was originally in the possession of a group calling itself "The Hive" (now cataloged as GoI 8370), using the vessel to create underwater bases of operation.

The crew of the <em>Wotan</em> realized that the vehicle possessed anomalous properties, because it could only be properly identified through the use of onboard thermal imaging and radioed nearby Foundation vessels while pursuing the submarine.</p> <p>Twenty-four hours later, SCP-005-INT was intercepted by a hastily assembled Foundation flotilla under the command of <em>Kapitänleutnant</em> Leon whilst traversing the International Waters of the Northern Atlantic, while still being followed by the <em>Wotan</em>; after a short skirmish that left both parties damaged, SCP-005-INT managed to disengage from the area of combat.

SCP-005-INT was pursued into the waters of Scoresby Sound near the town of Ittoqqortoormiit located in the coast of Greenland, with its access to the ocean blocked by Foundation vessels.

Said dream is divided into 4 maze-like stages, inhabited by hostile entities. All data related to these mazes and entities were acquired throughout several tests. The structure of SCP-005-IT is always identical for all dreamers, and depending on the subject's actions, one of the following scenarios will play out: if the subjects is able to find the exit, they will move on to the next maze, following the order C-H-T-R; once they reach the exit of SCP-005-IT, the subject wakes up with no harmful consequences and will forget the dream a few days later.</p> <p>If the dreamer is awoken by an outside event, they will experience several mental disturbances from then onward. Said disturbances include lethargy, several hallucinations involving the entity from the stage where the subject was awoken and the maze itself; an unconscious tendency to replicate the memetic agent triggering the dream, even though the subject is unaware of how it works or how memetic agents are made. Additionally, SCP-005-IT will keep manifesting itself in the subject's dreams, restarting the C-H-T-R sequence, with increased difficulty.</p> <p>If the dreamer is successfully caught by the entity inside the dream, they will undergo brain death in a few minutes. Before that, the subject will try every way they can to replicate the glyph responsible for the contagion, even at the cost of using [REDACTED].</p> <p>The stages of SCP-005-IT differ between each other in terms of shape, appearance and the entity inhabiting them.

The "hallways" of SCP-005-IT-C appear to be streets of a city where no living being is found, except for the dreamer and SCP-005-IT-1. The walls of the "hallways" are made of rows of unaccessible buildings, whose doors are locked and indestructible. The buildings making up the walls of the maze are inhabited, although the "people" occupying them - visible through the windows - are motionless and stare at the subject regardless of what they seemed to be doing before they arrived. Their heads are able to turn around even 360° and always keep eye contact. Every time the subject does not look at these entities, they resume their previous activities.<br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-005-IT-1<br/> <br/> <strong>Descrizione:</strong> SCP-005-IT-1 is a humanoid torso with an estimated length of 2 m, with whitish skin and multiple limbs, whose number changes depending on the dreamer. All its limbs end in hands with a number of fingers ranging from 3 to 8; the limbs possess more joints than a human being's. The disproportionate arms of SCP-005-IT-1 enable it to climb on the buildings, which means it can move ignoring the maze walls. SCP-005-IT-1 has a human head with no facial features, except for a large mouth equipped with multiple rows of human teeth. Like the other entities present in SCP-005-IT, its motor skills change alongside the difficulty of the maze: the more difficult the maze, the less arms SCP-005-IT-1 possesses, making it quicker when chasing the dreamer, but slower when climbing over the buildings.<br/></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <br/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ File: SCP-005-IT-H Description</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ Close file</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="background: url(http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/the-great-hippo/scp_trans.png) center no-repeat ; float: center; border: solid 2px #000000; padding: 1px 15px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.2); text-align: justify"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="005-IT-E" class="image" src="http://fondazionescp.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-005-it/005-IT-E"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>An example of SCP-005-IT-H</p> </div> </div> <p><br/> <strong>SCP-005-IT Stage:</strong> SCP-005-IT-H<br/> <br/> <strong>Description:</strong> SCP-005-IT-H is the second stage of SCP-005-IT, with an hexagonal shape. It appears to be a forest, reproduced entirely with electronic components suchs as analogical computers, large servers, cables and apparatuses. The ceiling is relatively low, which makes this maze a dark place, brightened by the monitors or the lights of the apparatuses. The electronic components are often prone to accidents: the more difficult the maze, the more frequent the component malfunctions, leading to decreased lighting, fires or explosions.<br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-005-IT-2<br/> <br/> <strong>Description:</strong> SCP-005-IT-2 is a large, lizard-like entity entirely made of electronic components, like the rest of the maze; this enables it to blend in to its surroundings and ambush the dreamer. However, SCP-005-IT-2 is also susceptible to malfunctions due to the increasing difficulty, thus becoming easy to spot; therefore, it is forced to act more aggressively.<br/></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <br/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ File: SCP-005-IT-T Description</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ Close file</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="background: url(http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/the-great-hippo/scp_trans.png) center no-repeat ; float: center; border: solid 2px #000000; padding: 1px 15px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.2); text-align: justify"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="005-IT-T" class="image" src="http://fondazionescp.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-005-it/005-IT-T"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>An example of SCP-005-IT-T</p> </div> </div> <p><br/> <strong>SCP-005-IT Stage:</strong> SCP-005-IT-T<br/> <br/> <strong>Description:</strong> SCP-005-IT-T is the third stage of SCP-005-IT and, based on the tests run so far, it has a triangular shape. The outer area of SCP-005-IT appears to be a mine in its outer area, while the inner area appears to be an underground necropolis. The ruins within the necropolis are not related to any known culture; the bones found in the burial recesses and sarcophagi are vaguely human, but show several anatomical differences which differ for every dreamer.<br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-005-IT-3<br/> <br/> <strong>Description:</strong> SCP-005-IT-3 is a vaguely humanoid mummified corpse, with the same anatomical differences found in the remains. The mummification process which SCP-005-IT-3 seems to have undergone appears to be due to a prolongued period of dehydration. SCP-005-IT-3 is able to nimbly roam the necropolis, which often leads it to surpass the dreamer and set traps. Said traps are mainly made of bones and are meant to slow down or temporarily stop the dreamer. The more difficult the maze, the less traps are set, but their effectiveness increases.<br/></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <br/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ File: SCP-005-IT-R Description</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ Close file</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="background: url(http://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/the-great-hippo/scp_trans.png) center no-repeat ; float: center; border: solid 2px #000000; padding: 1px 15px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.2); text-align: justify"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="005-IT-R" class="image" src="http://fondazionescp.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-005-it/005-IT-R"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>An example of SCP-005-IT-R</p> </div> </div> <p><br/> <strong>SCP-005-IT Stage:</strong> SCP-005-IT-R<br/> <br/> <strong>Description:</strong> SCP-005-IT-R is the final stage of SCP-005-IT.

These hallways are illuminated, although there is no actual light source.<br/> <br/> <br/> <strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-005-IT-4<br/> <br/> <strong>Description:</strong> SCP-005-IT-4 is an amorphous entity, whose appearance resembles a software glitch, a confused set of forms and symbols. The only symbol subjects were able to recognize was the same memetic agent triggering the dream. Unlike the previous mazes, being caught by SCP-005-IT-4 does not trigger brain death or the extreme compulsion during the subject's few minutes remaining, causing them to awaken instead. After awakening, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">the only symptom is a complete, definitive inability to dream</span> the subject is still compelled to replicate SCP-005-IT, but is able to hide it and display apparently normal behavior.<br/></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <hr/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ File: Incident report SCP-005-IT-Alpha</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ Close file</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Anomaly Involved:</strong> SCP-005-IT.<br/> <strong>Date:</strong> From ██/██/████ to ██/██/████.<br/> <strong>Location:</strong> Site Minerva.<br/> <strong>Description:</strong> During test SCP-005-IT-Delta, run on ██/██/████, the test subject (D-6458) arrived in SCP-005-IT-R and was caught by SCP-005-IT-4; after awakening, the subject was put in a solitary cell for the next month, given the lack of obsession with disseminating SCP-005-IT. During his month-long isolation, the only symptom shown by D-6458 was the inability to dream.</p> <p>Following the month of isolation, given the lack of obsession with disseminating SCP-005-IT, he was placed in community with the other Class D. Within a few days, after the month of isolation, SCP-005 -IT cases increased exponentially among D-class personnel, researchers and guards, leading to the conclusion - following several assumptions and speculations - that D-6458 was not exempt from the compulsive replication of SCP-005-IT, but was able to hide it from researchers.</p> <p>Following the worrying increase in cases of contagion, the director of Site Minerva requested the termination of all the infected and presumably infected subjects, so as to avoid any further spread of SCP-005-IT.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>

It’s showtime for Site-333, so today I want everyone to meet up to talk about SCP-005-VN first. You all know what this entity is, right?</p> <p><span style="color: #a3c1ad"><strong>Larry Cumbleton</strong></span>: Well, I thought the Foundation left that gramp outside just for fun.</p> <p><span style="color: red"><strong>Tony Catalano</strong></span>: Yeah, it was pretty fun before, free gifts for the kids. But isn’t it the time for him to stop now?</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Yeah, considering all the recent controversial <a href="http://scp-vn.wikidot.com/scp-021-vn">licensing</a> stuff, too.</p> <p><span style="color: #a3c1ad"><strong>Larry Cumbleton</strong></span>: Damn it.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Ahem, enough. What do we know about Santa Claus for now? Mr. Stark, you first.</p> <p><span style="color: red"><strong>Tony Catalano</strong></span>: Big guy, wearing red, sneaking into people's houses at midnight to bring their kids gifts?

A bit creepy in my opinion, though.</p> <p><span style="color: #a3c1ad"><strong>Larry Cumbleton</strong></span>: Leonora, how about you?</p> <p><span style="color: green"><strong>Leonora Morales</strong></span>: No comments, all I know is just as much as you do. Except the thing that his reindeer gang looks fucking cool. If we could catch just one of them, it’s still enough for <a href="http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7073">that place</a> to become a tourist attraction. But, oh poor poor Rudolph.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: What’s wrong with him?</p> <p><span style="color: green"><strong>Leonora Morales</strong></span>: I swear in the name of myself and the job I’m working on that this poor animal is suffering from a rare disease of the reindeer species. But that codger still forces it to take the head of the line? And you guys enjoy seeing its big, red, rounded nose swells like an apple?

First, Santa Claus hasn’t been specified as a cryptid despite these centuries-old legends. If I could, I would classify him in the same category as witches and some Turkish dudes selling ice cream.</p> <p><span style="color: green"><strong>Leonora Morales</strong></span>: For real?</p> <p><span style="color: orange"><strong>Noah Patel</strong></span>: Here you go.

Oh man.</p> <p><span style="color: orange"><strong>Noah Patel</strong></span>: Let me ask you this, why were you so dedicated to this mission? So far, all they did was look down on us.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: I made a bet with some guys from the other Sites that we could definitely win this last weekend.

The setup includes: A net made from reinforced metal alloy at the bottom of the chimney, as well as another similar net that would automatically be placed on top of the chimney when the anomaly was inside; a number of armed agents and a civilian female child as the bait. Below is the transcript of the event, which was recorded in the living room of the house:</p> <div class="foundation snow"> <p><strong>«BEGIN TRANSCRIPT»</strong></p> <p><em>SCP-005-VN and a Formula 1 vehicle were moving out of the chimney by transforming themselves into a liquid-like state in the same manner of a cartoon character moving out of small spaces.</em></p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> <em>[loud voice, not in a screaming way]</em> HO HO HO, Merry Christmas!</p> <p><strong>Bait:</strong> Santa, is that you?</p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> Ho ho? My my, what do we have here? Have you been a good girl the whole year?</p> <p><strong>Bait:</strong> Ah, it is Santa Claus! I have been so good for the whole year!</p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> <em>[took a candy cane out of the pocket]</em> And the good ones shall be rewarded.</p> <p><strong>Bait:</strong> Ah, <em>[used both hands to grab the candy and ate it]</em> Thank you, mister.</p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> Now then <em>[turned to the hallway leading to the bedrooms]</em>, do the others want my present also?</p> <p><em>The group of agents moved out of the hallway one by one, carefully making a formation surrounding SCP-005-VN and covering the bait.</em></p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> Ho? What is this? I like the enthusiasm, but shouldn’t you be lining up? I have a present for all of you, you know.</p> <p><strong>Alpha:</strong> Guys.</p> <p><em>The squad took out their electric-infused baton from their pocket, and changed into a defensive stance.</em></p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> Ho ho. At Christmas, the nice ones shall be rewarded. <em>[took a candy cane from its pocket]</em> And the naughty ones <em>[gripped its hand tight, then proceeded to use the other hand and swiped from the hand holding the candy cane out, transforming it into a crowbar resembling a candy cane]</em> will be punished.</p> <p><strong>Alpha:</strong> Charge!</p> <p><em>The whole team marched forward, with the intention of hitting on unguarded positions on SCP-005-VN’s body, locking and paralyzing the anomaly. Instantly, SCP-005-VN used the crowbar and hit three out of four members on the head, with the remaining agent able to tase it on its thigh. SCP-005-VN seemed to be immune to this attack and began to turn its upper body around. The entity hit the crowbar on the last agent, but it was blocked by one of the team members.</em></p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> Ho ho, very unanimous, I would say. Such virtues that are commendable for those were deemed naughty.</p> <p><em>An agent standing behind SCP-005-VN intended to jump and made a headlock move. SCP-005-VN spinned and use the curved side of the crowbar to grab them on the neck, using it as a human whip and hit those nearby before throwing it into another agent, making them both unable to fight.</em></p> <p><strong>Alpha:</strong> Spread out. Move back to formation, then we will get him.</p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> <em>[looked at the clock]</em> Maybe there is not that much time left for me.</p> <p><em>When the team tried to launch themselves to SCP-005-VN again, the entity used an abnormal speed to grab and throw each member away using its crowbar, knocking them out for the next 30 seconds.</em></p> <p><strong>SCP-005-VN:</strong> Nightie night naughties. Better luck next year. <em>[turns to the bait and takes out a present]</em> And this is yours.

Her gift was taken by the Foundation for research and was contained in a locker, although the present was deemed non-anomalous. The item inside the gift was a handmade stuffed reindeer.</p> <ul> <li>Attempt 2 - Christmas 2009</li> </ul> <p>On 24/12/2009, the Foundation was able to track the movement of SCP-005-VN through an intel from Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada that an unknown jet was flying above the city at approximately 10 PM. The Foundation has sent a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor fighter jet to this area to try to keep the anomaly under surveillance. Below is the transcript of the conversation between the pilot and the command center:</p> <div class="foundation snow"> <p><strong>«BEGIN TRANSCRIPT»</strong></p> <p><10:55 (GMT-5)></p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Ironbird to Command. I have arrived at the designated point. Over.</p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Copy that. Try to scout the area, if you are lucky, he might still be there. Over.</p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Roger that. Over.</p> <p><11:05 (GMT-5)></p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Ironbird to Command. You sure this guy is still around here? Over.</p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Command here. Keep scouting for the next ten minutes, then fall back. Over.</p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Roger that. Over.</p> <p><11:08 (GMT-5)></p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Ironbird to Command. Found the guy. So what do we do now? Over.</p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Can you state the current situation? Over.</p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Roger. He’s flying kinda low, about 5-10 meters above the ground and between houses. He’s moving quite fast, at a rate of a F1 car, but slow enough to move straight into the chimneys. I will lower my altitude. Over.</p> <p><strong>Commandr:</strong> Alright, we will need you to-</p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Shit. He spotted me. I repeat. The target has spotted me. I will begin chasing him. Over.</p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Copy. Try to remain in contact. Over.</p> <p><11:15 (GMT-5)></p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Ironbird to Command. I have chased him for several hundred meters now. The target is capable of maintaining distance at max speed for an adequate amount of time. Requesting counter maneuvers. Over.</p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Copy that. We have requested backup, SCP-005-VN might win on speed, but his maximum traveling distance can be lower than us. Keep following him to test this theory. Over.</p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Roger that. Over.</p> <p><11:20 (GMT-5)></p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Command to Ironbird. What’s the situation? Over.</p> <p><strong>Ironbird:</strong> Flying toward a windy area, I think I’m somewhere near Northeast of Russia? No sign of the anomal- oh hang on. The target is speeding up and turning. I repeat, the target is speeding up and turning. He’s heading to a windless area. I don’t think I could follow up with that. Over.</p> <p><strong>Command:</strong> Affirmative. <em>[long sigh]</em> You can retreat now. You have done your best. Over.</p> <p><strong>«END TRANSCRIPT»</strong></p> </div> <p><strong>Note:</strong> The hypothetical speed when SCP-005-VN was speeding up to get rid of Ironbird was believed to have reached Mach 2.5. This helped SCP-005-VN to be able to move out of the Foundation’s reach. Counter measures were being researched, while better types of fighter jets were on their way to being developed.</p> <ul> <li>Attempt 3 - Christmas 2010</li> </ul> <p>On 24/12/2010, the Foundation has deployed over 1000 helicopters worldwide to survey and follow SCP-005-VN after the entity begun to distribute gifts. At about 00:30 on 25/12/2010, SCP-005-VN was sighted at a rural area of northern Finland. Based on previous experiences, Foundation forces only followed the entity from a distance, as well as using a shooting device to attach a tracking signal on the entity’s vehicle instead of actively chasing it.</p> <p>About two hours after the tracking device was set up, the anomaly flew to the north of Europe and lost connection for thirty minutes before circled back into the city of Yakutsk, Sakha, Russia, and spent the next two hours traveling around all over Asia before heading back to the North Pole and disappearing for a moment. During Christmas night, SCP-005-VN traveled through each continent for two hours, then returned to the North Pole and vanished for half an hour before returning and repeating the whole process.</p> <p>The Foundation finally lost sight of SCP-005-VN at a location between Norway and Greenland at around 6:00 (GMT 0). However, when closely examining the location where SCP-005-VN was last observed, the Foundation was unable to identify any notable features. Theoretically, SCP-005-VN has either teleported to another dimension or has simply destroyed the tracking device during the flight. Nevertheless, no proof has been found to back up a specific side of the above argument.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 005-VN.03:</strong></p> <div class="foundation snow"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc1"><span>SCP-005-VN Containment Strategy Overview</span></h2> </div> <hr/> <div class="scp-image-block block-center" style="width:100%;"><img alt="hq__room.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-vn.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-005-vn/hq__room.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>The meeting room of Site-333.

The others have done it at least ten times more professionally than us. You think this damn place is able to do that also? Bullshit.</p> <p><span style="color: orange"><strong>Noah Patel</strong></span>: Such a smooth brain you have, Vincent. Some have like several hundreds of people, and they are still unable to make a dent. Just compare that to us, even if we count the greenie beanie Larry here, it’s just five people.</p> <p><span style="color: green"><strong>Leonora Morales</strong></span>: Whatever, let's stop the trash talking part for a second here. We do need a plan. So Vincent, how do you want to make it work?</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Tony Catalano</strong></span>: Clearly we don’t have enough money to go to the Arctic, so I suggest we better catch him somewhere near us. A hundred percent he will have to move through here, just need a perfect timing, that’s all.</p> <p><span style="color: orange"><strong>Noah Patel</strong></span>: But where can we find more people? There is not that much time left, you know.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: If we compare ourselves to them, ain’t other sites just have too many people so they all got noticed right away, right? Maybe the smaller the better in this case.</p> <p><span style="color: orange"><strong>Noah Patel</strong></span>: That doesn’t help much at all. You want the five of us chasing ducks or something? Even the fastest fighter jet can’t catch up with the guy.

Any unauthorized individual entering these areas must be severely disincentivized from continuing their activities. Surveillance posts have been set up in Corsica (France), Alicante (Spain), Sicily (Italy) and Crete (Greece) to monitor the Mediterranean Sea.</p> <p>Each SCP-006-INT instance must be destroyed 100 days after the date of its formation.</p> <p>The current management of SCP-006-INT depends on the French, Spanish, Italian and Greek speaking branches.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-006-INT is the designation of a group of structures resulting from an anomalous restructuring phenomenon. This phenomenon affects soil on the sea floor at different points of the Mediterranean Sea. At irregular intervals, the ground changes shape to take the form of buildings of Islamic architecture. The level of detail of each building differs; in some cases, elements that are not part of the ground, such as anemones or remains of wrecks, are present on the structures as decoration.</p> <p>Many species of fish, especially carnivorous, have taken up residence in the instances of SCP-006-INT.</p> <p>Research into the nature of SCP-006-INT and a potential link to historical data is ongoing.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 006-INT.1:</strong> Hypothesis</p> <p>Various theories have been advanced within the French, Spanish, Italian and Greek speaking branches regarding the nature of SCP-006-INT. Among the theories advanced, those presented below are the most accepted within their respective branches.</p> <blockquote> <h3 id="toc0"><span>Hypothesis SCP-006-INT-FR</span></h3> <p><em>Submitted by Dr. Macro</em></p> <p>Before trying to understand why buildings appear at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, it is necessary to know what Magonia is.</p> <p>Magonia is a region of the world hidden in the clouds by means of various anomalous stratagems. It was highlighted by Agobard of Lyon in 815 in his treatise <em>De grandine et tonitruis</em>, which objected to its existence. However, its existence was proven by Napoleon's Singular Imperial Academy, centuries later. The SIA also discovered that Magonia was no longer located over France, but over the Mediterranean Sea.</p> <p>Now abandoned, under the effect of global warming, the clouds that made up Magonia are gradually disappearing, letting its buildings fall into the sea. This phenomenon would generate a mist that overhangs the surface of the sea, which hinders the sight of the buildings falling.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <h3 id="toc1"><span>Hypothesis SCP-006-INT-ES</span></h3> <p><em>Submitted by Dr. Díaz</em></p> <p>I consider that the Tartessians would be the most suitable civilization for the western segment of SCP-006-INT, if not the entire Mediterranean. Although their territory covered southern Spain, it is known that they were influenced by the Phoenicians and Greeks, both highly influential civilizations. However, hardly any sources of their reign and beliefs are preserved, the latter being attributed to pagan gods such as Baal, Astarte or Melkart.</p> <p>However, we must stick to the facts, which is the border of SCP-006-INT. The most distant remains are in the Strait of Gibraltar. This would not be remarkable if it were not for another important piece of Greek mythology, namely the Twelve Labors of Hercules.</p> <p>The tenth of them was the defeat of Geryon and the return of his cattle to Mycenae. According to the texts associated to the legend, it was located in the disappeared archipelago of the Gadeiras, place of the current Cadiz. This location as well as the discovery of one of the columns in the Rock of Gibraltar gives rise to the influence of the erection of the columns and a rise of the sea level in the Mediterranean due to anomalous causes.</p> <p>The Mediterranean Sea would be like a cemetery where periodically, the memory of the people who perished on what are now the seabed manifest themselves trying to reshape the ground to reform the villages they lived.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <h3 id="toc2"><span>Hypothesis SCP-006-INT-IT</span></h3> <p><em>Submitted by Dr. Italo</em></p> <p>In the Roman culture as in the Greek one, there were more deities connected to the sea or more simply to the water, which may have originated from a contact occurred during the initial expansion of the Greek peoples and later of Rome in the Mediterranean, especially in the area of Magna Graecia.</p> <p>The aforementioned deities may have been created as a result of explaining the inhuman abilities of a marine population found in the Mediterranean Sea.</p> <p>It cannot be excluded that the Romans like the Greeks may have undertaken, following a first conflict, a peaceful relationship with this population, allowing them to make technological and military progress.</p> <p>It cannot be ruled out that Rome, in order to expand its hegemony, slowly fought them until their population was reduced to a small number.</p> <p>The last survivors would have settled inside a complex of caves under the level of the sea near the coasts of Sicily. Nowadays, an anomalous/geological event could have caused the subsidence of some parts of the cave. This phenomenon would lead to the gradual unveiling at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea of the cities that these individuals inhabited. A kind of Atlantis that we are only discovering today.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <h3 id="toc3"><span>Hypothesis SCP-006-INT-EL</span></h3> <p><em>Submitted by Dr. Spiropoulos</em></p> <p>Although Dr. Italo's sort of Atlantis theory is compelling, another answer is possible. At the end of the Bronze Age, Egypt was attacked by an unknown tribe of sea warriors, the Sea Peoples, who possessed strength and power unmatched at the time. No one really knows where they came from or how advanced they were. We can only speculate. However, we know that their archipelagos contained many anomalous cloaking technologies, allowing them to make their islands invisible and to avoid wars.</p> <p>Perhaps their island sank and the survivors turned to piracy and eventually to conquest, before disappearing and never being heard from again. In the event that these islands were sunk, it is possible that their anomalous cloaking devices were still active. Nowadays, these devices would have expired, making them reveal again. Perhaps this new discovery will shed light on their origins and give us answers to this age-old mystery.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Addendum 006-INT.2:</strong> Recent Discovery</p> <p>It has been observed that at regular intervals, several objects floating on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, above sites with instances of SCP-006-INT, are being swept to the bottom. Most of these objects are contained in glass bottles:</p> <ul> <li>Flowers</li> <li>North African pastries</li> <li>Various papers on which messages are written</li> </ul> <p>All the messages found in the bottles are of the same nature. Below is one of them, which was contained with a bouquet of flowers.</p> <blockquote> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:140%;"><strong>بالنسبة لإيناس وزوجتي وأمير ابني ، غرقا في بحر المحنة هذا</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:140%;"><strong>آمل أن تشعر وكأنك في المنزل بغض النظر عن مكان وجودك</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">For Ines, my wife, and Amir my son, both drowned in this sea of misfortune</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I hope you feel at home wherever you are</span></p> </blockquote> <div class="centered"> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-006-int">SCP-006-INT</a>" by macro_au_micro, morhadow, yessss and thatonetranslator, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

Something about the fascists producing anomalous weaponry. Our detachment was pretty advanced in Massarosa, yeah. We were the vanguard and the reconnaissance team. Neat, uh? It'd be cooler if we weren't the only ones available for the job.</p> <p>Yes, everything went alright until the moment a man appeared with some sort of balloon floating ominously near himself. Didn't seem like a Regio Esercito uniform, had this type of full-body suit, no, it wasn't an armour but reminded me of one of those beekeeper vests, you know?</p> <p>Anyways, so the man started pointing at us, and saying something in Italian; I think he told us to fuck off or something. Naturally, we opened fire, no fascist is going to tell us what to do, a real one at that! The thing is, that balloon thing just spread itself in front of him like a sheet or something. Our bullets just hit it flat, the thing didn't even flinch or something.</p> <p>So we shot it more. And then it shot us. Not kidding, the thing just hurled into us! Crashed on [REDACTED], and started to absorb the poor guy. I still remember his screams. We changed magazines as fast as we could but that Italian man started running away; so we sent our tacit goodbye to [REDACTED], right in the dome, and started the pursuit.</p> <p>It's hard to follow a guy in narrow labyrinthic streets, even worse when you have an apparently unstoppable murder machine following you. Thank God that shit couldn't get much speed. We pretty much fucked the stealth up but that thing didn't seem to mind wasting time eating some Fascists; bless indiscriminate murder, I guess.</p> <p>Due to a stroke of luck, we managed to pepper him with some bullets. Guy left a trail of blood for us to follow. Not-so-lucky, that fucking thing stormed through a house, now enormous, and rendezvoused with him. We hoped the guy would die due to blood loss or something so we stood back as he ran away.</p> <p>Not long after, we resumed the search. Funny thing, we found smaller versions of that balloon thingie going around the streets, those died with bullets for some reason. Our shots shredded them or something. We decided not to touch it, given what happened with [REDACTED].</p> <p>Then, we found the entrance to a cellar. got down some stairs to a type of laboratory, if you could even call the place that. Found the guy patching himself up, a briefcase, and a huge air cylinder next to him. He said more shit so we shot him. Right, dead men can't be interrogated but it was complete self-defense, the guy had a gun, probably insulted our mothers, and the man-eating balloon of death thing was nowhere to be seen.</p> <p>The place had some sort of tunnel leading out of the village, and a small cart to carry the cylinder. We searched around, found some documents, and with a little effort to understand Italian — mind you, it is harder than you think — we realized that our mission was complete. Seized the whole thing, and dispatched it to Brazil.</p> <p>Better have that thing in our hands instead of some crazy Fascist or Nazi, right?</p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p>— [REDACTED]</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Communications between the CL5 Council and the S5 Council.</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Communications between the CL5 Council and the S5 Council.</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="display: inline-block ; border : solid 1px #444444 ; background :#F5F5F5 ; margin-left : auto ; margin-right : auto ; width : auto ; padding:10px"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="font-size:120%;">SITE PT1</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size:110%;">OVERWATCH COUNCIL</span></strong><br/> <strong><span style="font-size:110%;">CABINET OFFICE</span></strong></p> <hr/> <p><span style="font-size:110%;"><strong>EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNIQUÉ FROM THE LUSOPHONE BOARD OF DIRECTORS</strong></span></p> </div> <hr/> <p>Excellent S5-6,</p> <p>and the other members of the Superintendent Council.</p> <p>This missive is accompanied by our best regards, a cache containing an object of interest with the appended documentation, including the byproducts of our research.</p> <p>We consider that these items of interest possess a notorious historical and scientific value for the Italophone Office of the Foundation; an intriguing anomaly pertaining to your predecessors that was recovered by the Brazilian Expeditionary Force.</p> <p>Given the circumstances, we decided to update its designation to <em>SCP-007-INT</em>.</p> <p>Cordially,</p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><span style="font-size:70%;"><strong>THIS DOCUMENT HAS BEEN ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED BY THE SIXTH DIRECTOR OF THE LUSOPHONE BOARD OF DIRECTORS — CL5-6.</strong></span></p> </div> <hr/></div> <hr/> <div style="display: inline-block ; border : solid 1px #444444 ; background :#F5F5F5 ; margin-left : auto ; margin-right : auto ; width : auto ; padding:10px"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="font-size:120%;">SITE VITTORIA</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size:110%;">SUPERINTENDENT COMMAND</span></strong><br/> <strong><span style="font-size:110%;">SUPERINTENDENT OFFICE</span></strong></p> <hr/> <p><span style="font-size:110%;"><strong>MINUTES OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE SUPERINDENT COUNCIL</strong></span></p> </div> <hr/> <p>Esteemed CL5-6</p> <p>I wish to thank you and the rest of the O4 Council for the letter and the cache you sent us.

D-01121 has been convicted for 20 years due to her participation in a cannabis traffic gang, as a transporter</em>.</p> <p><strong>[Begin Log]</strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> Do you feel like you had any general, or significative change in your life, during these years since you've travelled to the Amazon?</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Uh, I don't know, doctor. Other than reading, and going to the gym, I don't know, I think I'm more tranquil, in general. Since then I've been feeling more optimistic about being imprisoned, and everything else, after I comply with my sentence I'll try to stay in line. <em>[pause]</em> Did I answer that right?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> Did you, by any chance, feel any type of inspiration, something that encouraged you with these tasks?</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Look, being imprisoned in here sucks, right, if you just stop, your mind kills you. I don't know, if I need to say what made me uh, go to the gym more, I'd say that it is because of those girls from Sector 7.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> I dunno what you guys put in their dinners that gives them those arms bigger than my head. I'm serious, doctor, give me that thing, too. I know I'm already great because like, look at this butt; although I'd accept becoming a Frankenstein to gain those massive arms. <em>[laugh]</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> I understand. You mentioned before something about 'reading more', has it been encouraged by something else?</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Um. Not that I remember, it is not like I woke up one day, and thought "What a beautiful day, today I'll stop being such a sucker".</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> No, wait, there has been something, yes. I don't remember when but I started remembering quite a lot about when I had about 14, I think, I was listening to the radio in the balcony while I swept for my grandma, and then a sort of MPB<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> music started playing, from a singer with a shy voice.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> The music was about her trying to talk with an owl, saying that she was going to sing in every existent language until the owl responded but nothing worked, and, she ends up screaming so much, so much in sadness, that she ends up without her voice. So, right in the ending of the music, the little bird answers her and teaches her how to whistle, and it ends with the two whistling together.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> There was a verse like, "Little owl, my friend, when I saw you I fell in love, Hello, Bonjour, Entschuldigung. But you pretend to not see me, do not answer me, doesn't even care". I remembered these parts with foreign words in the music, and I just dunno, I felt like learning more stuff, in general.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> Do you remember the name of the music, singer, or the radio station?</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Sheesh, I wish, every time I try to remember it my mind goes blank. I think I've already asked everyone that I told about the music but I dunno, might've not stuck back then. I don't remember having heard it more than once.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Ah, doctor, about that thing of inspiration, I should've told about Marcela, too.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> Marcela?</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Yes.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> You know, doctor, I wasn't literate when I was a child. I had to work in parents’ houses since I was young, so parents became bosses, bosses became the thing with the weed, you know the deal.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> I joked before saying I was a sucker, but like, I've never felt lesser than anyone who had gone to school. My grandma always said that being smart comes from living, you know, sweating, and learning with hardship, and that's how I learnt how to — how to do things, talking, and listening. I know I'm smarter than some ma'ams that haven't been humiliated ever, never scrubbed the floor with a toothbrush so they wouldn't starve.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> But staying here, and in the other sector, I've met lots of people, people that gave the desire of becoming more realized, more open-minded. Do you know that girl, sort of slender, from the 4, with glasses? So, she's Marcela. She's my best friend.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> I've known her for a year, sort of. When she arrived here she had already gone through 10 years but she came alone, didn't talk with other people, that kind of thing.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> So, I saw her by herself, and I dunno, I felt like approaching, take the first step that nobody took. And like, we had a basic chit-chat but she was at another level, she tried to talk about some books that she read because she went a lot to the library, a real lot, but I always got so nervous about those philosophical things, that I would start laughing, and I'd say: "Fuck, Marcela, talk in my language, gal!" <em>[laughter]</em></p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> But like, I didn't want to get away from her, you know.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> I think that her life story is really touching. She went through a lot of heavy stuff during her life, had to do some stuff for some weird people but ended up addicted to crack, and got busted. Said she was so desperate that she tried to rob a market with a fishmonger, and ended cutting off the finger of a guard, crazy. She tries to talk with her son in Bahia, he must be, like, 25 years already but he doesn't answer, it makes her very sad.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> <em>[pause]</em> You know that story about the fishmonger, she tells about it laughing but when you know her for real, you can see she is very ashamed of that. I think a lot of the girls here that keep bragging about stealing that guy and killing that other guy have a hidden burden, in their soul, really, that they are too ashamed to admit to God.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> But then, I didn't want to leave her excluded again just because we didn't understand each other right, eh. So, one day I told her, "Fuck, gal, what if I enroll in that preparatory course that they host here? Then I'd understand what you say and everything".</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> I was expecting her to laugh at my face but she got really excited. Kept saying she would help me, would test everything I learnt, and you know, it was a great help. By myself, I already did a fucking lot, but she gave me a lot of moral. Managed to get my degree in 10 months, I read everything, argued complex stuff with Marcela, and the other people in the library. Since I got educated, I feel a much more realized woman, more like a warrior.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> That's great, You seem to admire <em>Marcela</em> a great deal.</p> <p><strong>D-01121:</strong> Talking like that so it seems <em>[laughter]</em>. Being sincere, I am a bit reserved when it comes to expressing myself but I tell her, right at her face, that she is a great fuckin' woman because it is true! She doesn't tell me how much longer she'll be here but I told her "Gal, if I get out before, I swear to you that'll wait for you out there" because I want to help her talk with her boy, with her little bird in Bahia. And if it doesn't work, I'll support her in any way I can because I want to help her step up in life, keep her clean, those things. Maybe even live together so we can keep an eye on each other, share a little apartment. I believe I owe her that, support her like she supported me.</p> <p><strong>[End Log]</strong></p> </blockquote> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-1" style="display:none"> <blockquote> <p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Álvarez</p> <p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> Ms. Ramos</p> <p><strong>Foreword:</strong> <em>In order to collect results regarding the effects of -3 on individuals without previous illegal activities, researchers of 011-PT were authorized to announce discounts for experimental hydrotherapies (as a facade company) in newsletters to recruit subjects to participate willingly in experiments. Information and relevant records can be found in the document <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Operation: OpenAqua Amazon</span></em>.</p> <p><strong>[Begin Log]</strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> Do you feel like you have had any general, or significant change in your life, in the last years since you've travelled to Amazon?</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Girl, it has been such a while, I believe my life has changed completely. You - could you help me? Ask something more precise, about my career, house. So, my memories can flow better.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> Is there any point, as in, any moment that you can define as the beginning of that "complete change" that occurred in your life?</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Let me think… <em>[pause]</em> I think it was when… <em>[pause]</em> No, it was before if I think about it well enough. I believe it started when I began thinking a lot about a painting I saw in a thrift store.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> Painting?</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> The painting was somewhat Rococo, like, with two ladies… you couldn't see their faces but they were ladies. One of them, in the front of the painting, was sideways with her face turned back, her hand appearing in the frame, cutting her hair really short, by her ear. So, while she does that, another lady — she kissed the other lady, in front of her, as she puts her hand in the face of the first. You can't quite see the kiss, but like, all that pose isn't of someone kissing the cheek, at least for me.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> These ladies, they were pretty. Dark skin like me and you but the one behind had an aura, a white light around her head like those depictions of saints. The one in front was dressed in a suit with a brilliant effect, it resembled stars. Their faces didn't appear quite right but I felt that they were smiling.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> It is a really beautiful painting, I imagine.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Yeah. I think I saw that picture when I was about 15, around there, but only these years after the travel I remembered how beautiful it was. A very sympathetic man told me once that good art is that which inspires you, that touches us, humans… that's what I feel for that picture, it's like it spoke to me, you know. <em>[pause]</em> It told me that women can do those things, know, that they can like each other in that way.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Did you know that, doctor? I believe there are a lot of people that don't even think about it, at least not the people I spoke with at first.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> I believe that there still exists a certain taboo about relationships of these types, sadly. Would you like to talk about these conversations, with those individuals?</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> I can try, I don't know if you'll understand because there are some things that give context the whole story, at least for the particular motive for me thinking like that. And I don't know if you - if you wanna hear about that. A lot of people that I spoke with kept looking at me as if I was crazy, so I don't know if I should talk, even if you're a professional, and everything else.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> Well, you can trust that I'll deal with any sensitive information in the most professional, and comprehensive manner possible.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Alright then, I'll try. <em>[pause]</em> I was abused when I was younger - when I had about 7. My stepfather, a disgraceful man, disgusting, drunk, that beat women without pity, he abused me. Never did it directly, you know. But he touched me, doctor. He stunk, never stopped stinking. I swear, I swear to you, I'll never forget that heinous man, he was the pure essence of Satan but at that time, I wasn't conscious of it. I thought I had made something wrong for him to do that to me. That I was a tainted woman, being punished by the Lord.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> So I spoke with my mother. I told my mother I felt dirty. I don't want to see your husband again, mother, I want to be locked. I don't want them looking at me, mother, I'll become a nun, I'll dedicate myself to the Lord alone. Mother heard me that day, and thanks to God she found a place for us to live in a small rented house owned by my fraternal aunt. I felt a little better then but I still felt suffocated due to hardships, I started to sleep sitting so I wouldn't wake in the middle of my sleep with the demon inside my head.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Álvarez:</strong> I am sorry that you have experienced all that. Would you like a cup of water?</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> No doctor, it's alright, that's my life. I learnt to accept that it is my story. I just have to accept it, and not let it stay on my way anymore.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Alright then, so, my life kept going, I was growing up in the church with others telling me I'd find a good man to take the sadness from my heart but — I felt terrorized with the prospect of marriage, with lying with a man. A year ago, I think, I believe that I grew tired of locking that feeling inside my head, so I went to talk with the other girls from the church, to know if anyone else felt cornered like that, and if marrying really helped.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Two ladies that I talked with told me that ah, it was just like that, we accept those things for our husbands because that's right, that's a good woman. But there were two other girls - my friends Claudete, and Luana — they told me no, that they were scared, too, because they saw their mothers having a hard time, and they didn't want that to them because they wouldn't want to become housewives. But we didn't want to stray away from the Lord.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> I told them that I had seen a beautiful picture a long time ago, with two women together. Wouldn't it be great if we could love, marry without needing rotten people in our life? Ah, doctor, they kept laughing but I was serious. They kept saying: "Oh, I wouldn't, Gisele, that is weird, there's no such thing as a woman with another woman, no, take a step back". I got quite angry with them laughing at me so I went to talk with my mother during that same day.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> I told her about the conversation, and then said: so, I saw the painting, and so on, so doesn't it mean it is allowed? And she answered, no, God didn't plan that for you, we'll talk with the priest. And I felt extreme indignation because, how come? I've been told my whole life — that I was loved by the Lord, I followed His word to my 22 years, and now my mother says in front of me that I wasn't doing what He planned for me? Oh no. I got the courage, and told like this: "ah, mother, I am certain that God loves me, and that's what He wants for me, and if I'm only able to lay with women, that's His plan for my life!"</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Look, doctor, you should've seen her face when I said that, I think it was the first that I raised my voice for her in my entire life. She screamed in tandem: "if it is like that then you can take your belongings out of this house since I don't want my daughter mingling with women!" <em>[laughter]</em> I don't know, doctor, it suddenly made me want to challenge her, so I said: "Alright then", and started packing my things.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> You know, back then I thought that it was true if I wanted to mingle because I didn't even know what it meant but I felt that I had to do that due to my love for the Lord. I had much more certainty that He wanted me to do that, to own my <em>own</em> life.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> Outside home, I quickly got employed taking care of a seigniory from the church that still liked me, and she allowed me to live in her place to help. My mother spread the word that she did not have a daughter anymore and pushed me away from the church but I still spoke with Claudete, and Luana by my telephone, and we tried to see each other in the weekend in the square next there.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> While I live with Ms. Célia she allowed me to use her computer to spend the time, study something, and I searched more about everything, for people that liked women, to make sure I was actually sure. <em>[laughter]</em> My eyes widened with some of the things I accessed by mistake but I knew I had the curiosity to learn about those things because of my age!</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> I commented about those things with my friends, and they got a little afraid, sometimes they said that I had to bless myself, so I answered "no, the world is like that, guys, and I think that I'm like that, too, and I won't lay with any men, I decided". I knew they thought I was quite weird because of those chats but they had the same curiosity that I had, and that's why they didn't stop talking with me. Anyways, one day Luana kissed me, saying that she wanted to see if it was actually good.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> I didn't tell her that it was my first kiss with a woman, and I felt a little afraid. She sort of stopped talking with me after that but I think she figured out that it wasn't for her… I cried a lot for days until I got the courage to join these forums that I messed around, to talk. The women I found helped me a lot.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> They helped me learn more about life as if they were second mothers. With them, I got my license, worked in a hotel, and then in a restaurant, rented a nice house. Met personally some of the ladies in one of the bars in the city, they were from the church, like me; we became friends and even made our own group for prayers. We started to dress differently, cutting our hair, wearing trousers, shorts, we had a lot of fun with the things the church said we couldn't do but we knew that God would accept us if we were happy.</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> So, about 3 months ago my Mother found me, and wanted to apologise. So I forgave her, of course, but I didn't come back home… now I felt free for real, you know?</p> <p><strong>Ms. Ramos:</strong> In the past, I think that at that moment that I left home, and followed my own path, with my own faith, I didn't feel I was close to the Lord. Now I felt that in the depth of my heart, wearing men clothes, having intimacy with women like me. I didn't want to stray away from God again, feel dirty. So, I follow this path now, and… I'm happy, even if there are people that see me with crooked eyes, swearing, spitting on me. I love myself, and I know God loves me, too.</p> <p><strong>[End Log]</strong></p> </blockquote> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-2" style="display:none"> <blockquote> <p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Martins</p> <p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> Junior Researcher Vieira</p> <p><strong>Foreword:</strong> <em>A proposal regarding the possibility of evaluating the effects of SCP-011-PT-3 in individuals with previous knowledge about the expected behavioral changes, and whether this knowledge would result in effects related to those commonly registered.

The implementation of an artificial memory is an obvious anomaly, of course, but the influence of the memories by themselves is something that could be noticed with any type of significant event in the life of a woman, right? Or — anyone, really.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> Well. Despite perceiving those tendencies as a component of the anomaly, we never affirmed that it was something anomalous by itself. You know that, as scientists, we have the obligation to cite facts that may or may not be relevant to our research.</p> <p><strong>Junior Researcher Vieira:</strong> Yes, I understand. But really, do you think that… that it can happen with anything else, any type of memory that created an impact in your thought process? About life, love.</p> <p><strong>Junior Researcher Vieira:</strong> I mean, think about your aspirations when you were a kid. Have you never met someone, or watched a movie, or something akin that made you think: "well, I want to be… I don't know, a veterinary. Well, there are so many people that die due to cancer, I wanna become a scientist so I can find the cure for it."</p> <p><strong>Junior Researcher Vieira:</strong> It's the same for love, too, like any type of inherent beauty that you had never perceived, the basis of attraction. How does someone develop a "type"? From blondes to brunettes to… men, and women. I don't know.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> I don't think I'm following your line of thought.</p> <p><strong>Junior Researcher Vieira:</strong> I just believe that… the effects of the anomaly are not inherent to the anomaly. Maybe they aren't even inherent of something significant, by itself. I believe that all women - including me, and you — possess the capability of becoming happy, and ambitious loving one another. It doesn't need to be something exclusive, nor lesbian with all the letters but… prioritizing the women in your life, in general. It's not something really thought about by the majority of people.</p> <p><strong>Junior Researcher Vieira:</strong> Maybe the real effect of this skip isn't 'implanting' ideas, nor 'influencing', but suggesting them. I believe that the capability to love was already inside us all this time, and we just followed what was suggested, by our own volition. And, you know. Even with all the hardships, and sadness in our lives, our particular relationships, we are happier that way.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Martins:</strong> It is something interesting to think about, although, don't you think that assuming something like that, so personal, and subjective, to women as a whole, is something too passionate?</p> <p><strong>Junior Researcher Vieira:</strong> Huh, maybe. But I am full of passion, Martins. And I am sure that all the other women would be if they experienced that type of love.</p> <p><strong>[End Log]</strong></p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ OZONE.dom.onDomReady(function(){ var tabViewd0c380849d6594ef3ac6007266f9ec97 = new YAHOO.widget.TabView('wiki-tabview-d0c380849d6594ef3ac6007266f9ec97'); }, "dummy-ondomready-block"); //]]> </script></div> </div> </div> <p><strong>Report of Discovery and Recovery:</strong> The Foundation became aware of the existence of the anomalous activity caused by the object in the region because of incidents involving tourists disappearing between the months of March, and July after interacting with "a lake full of lily pads that created ice, and had fluorescent lilies during the night".</p> <p>SCP-011-PT has been documented for the first time in 18██, dating the epoch of annexation of the Province of Amazon by the Brazil Empire government.

Through the agreements made, the Foundation was allowed to monitor certain parts of the containment and security of the structure maintaining the anomaly.</p> <p>Several agents were sent to the site, whose coordinates are only accessible to O5 members, to defend the area.<br/> Some are in charge of monitoring the areas surrounding the site of the containment of SCP-014-INT, infiltrating the associations previously involved with the anomaly and ensuring that there are no plans to re-occupy SCP-014-INT.</p> <p>The Department of External Affairs (DEA) is in charge of communication and maintaining agreements with governments, and is also responsible for the legal supervision of SCP-014-INT.<br/> The Internal Tribunal Department is currently dealing with the legal mission undertaken after the anomaly was discovered.</p> <p>The <a href="/disinformation-bureau-orientation">Disinformation Bureau</a> is to delete information concerning SCP-014-INT in the non-anomalous world. The Bureau must also check the distribution of amnestics in the three Free Ports, with the cooperation of the Nexuses armed forces.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-014-INT is a vehicle similar to a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Marengo">Fiat Marengo</a>, shiny black in colour, with several dents and bullet holes. The windscreen is shattered, probably from an armed collision.</p> <p>Inside SCP-014-INT is a small laboratory that was used to anomalously create amnestics. This is possible due to an anomalous effect of SCP-014-INT ; in fact, the boot of the vehicle is a Non-Euclidean space, tripling the measurements of a non-anomalous boot.</p> <p>The anomaly is dated 1991, as can be read from a document found in the car. The engine and other parts have been modified from a normal Fiat Marengo to increase its power rating. The odometer shows the symbol “∞”.<br/> The number plate is modified and bears the inscription “SP33D”; it is pierced by three bullet holes.<br/> At the time of the recovery, the tyres had been filled with euros. It was therefore assumed that SCP-014-INT had just concluded a deal.</p> <p>The known peculiarity of SCP-014-INT is that it can cross certain dimensions. This can only happen when SCP-014-INT is travelling at a speed between 100 and 120 km/h; furthermore, for this to happen, no vehicle must be less than 10 m from SCP-014-INT, a distance that would allow it to enter SCP-014-INT-1 before it closes.</p> <p>SCP-014-INT-1 is the name given to spatial gateways that allow SCP-014-INT-1 to cross dimensions, usually taking the form of Platonic solid. The interior of SCP-014-INT-1 depicts the destination it is intended to reach. The arrival points may be different, but they are all in 3 nexuses, namely: Esterberg (FP-120)<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, Gorična (FP-108)<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> and Backdoor SoHo (FP-02)<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>.</p> <p>The coordinates of the intended destination must be set on a rudimentary navigator, which only has the mapping of the three nexuses mentioned above.</p> <p><strong>Discovery:</strong> On 2008-02-26 Foundation Contacts stationed in Backdoor Soho requested to reduce Foundation efforts in the Free Port as they thought an increase in forgotten memories to be the result of Foundation action. The Disinformation Bureau confirmed that no amnestics had been used in Manhattan in recent history.</p> <p>SCP-014-INT was first discovered by these Foundation Contacts when the vehicle emerged from SCP-014-INT-1 in one of the few streets in Backdoor Soho that were long and empty enough to safely accelerate/decelerate to and from 120 km/h.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p> <p>SCP-014-INT released a flock of origami carrier pidgeons<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> carrying packages before returning with money. SCP-014-INT left the Free Port afterwards again through SCP-014-INT-1.</p> <p>After three more appearances of SCP-014-INT the Disinformation Bureau could confirm that SCP-014-INT was selling amnestics of similar effect to Foundation amnestics to civilians in the Free Port. The Bureau reached out to Foundation teams stationed at other Nexuses and Free Ports in case they had noticed the appearance of SCP-014-INT as well, with Site-120 and MTF Gamma-77 (“Wolves of Tagliamento”) confirming.</p> <p>The free distribution of amnestics caused by SCP-014-INT risked disrupting various operations by the Disinformation Bureau. Furthermore all anomalies capable of producing amnestics should be under complete control of the Foundation. Therefore a coordinated investigation with a high priority was initiated by the Bureau as well as teams stationed at Esterberg and Gorična.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Addendum-1: Investigations in Gorična</strong></p> <p>In March 2008 the apparitions of SCP-014-INT, the murders and the circulations of amnestics started to increase.<br/> The MTF Gamma-77 reported the discovery of a flat, which was the apartment of “Valeria Furlan”, a member of the Council of 6 (the official government of Gorična), imprisoned for corruption and mafia.</p> <p>Initially, the investigation and sentence given to Mrs Furlan were not thought to be related to the amnestic trade. However in the flat telephone numbers traceable to high-ranking members of Esterberg and Blackdoor SoHo were discovered, with notes referring to a Gorična criminal gang.</p> <p>After this finding, the MTF Gamma-77 raided a shop known to be the criminal group's hangout.<br/> The man who is considered to be the gang's boss, who answers to the name “<a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/ricordi-di-un-nessuno">Nobody</a>” was picked up. The man never spoke throughout the interrogation. Moreover, given the lack of evidence, it was not possible to arrest.</p> <p>Given this, it was preferred to ask a police informant from Gorična directly. The following is a transcription of the interview.</p> <div style="border:solid 3px; padding:5px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong>Interview</strong></p> </div> <p><strong>Place:</strong> <em>Carcere della Scogliera</em>, Gorična Prison.</p> <p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Franco Vodopivec, agent of the MTF Gamma-77.</p> <p><strong>Interviewed:</strong> Aleksander Germano.</p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> 'Morning Agent, I know you wanted to interview me.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Exactly, important information regarding a case we are dealing with. We believe you have valuable information since you went to prison specifically for drug trafficking and involvement in the mafia.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> I can only help you if several conditions are met, I would prefer that you let my lawyer in.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> If you really want… <em>(under hearing)</em> with these lawyers in the way you only complicate things.</p> <p><em>Vodopivec gets up and knocks on the door of the cell where the interview was taking place. A guard opens the door.</em></p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Bring in the lawyer.</p> <p><em>The lawyer, a smartly dressed ferret, enters the room.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>[10 minutes of irrelevant conversation removed]</strong></p> <p><strong>John (Lawyer):</strong> Well, now that we have agreed on the sentence discount, you can question my client.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Finally. <em>(sips coffee)</em> So, what do you know about a 'Valeria Furlan'?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Mayoress, isn't it? Mayor representing the Italians<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup>. She is in this prison now, I think.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Exactly, we found out that she was associated with the gang you were in. We tried to question “Nobody”, but he wouldn't open his mouth. So, explain to me how she's connected to all this.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> I don't know much about it…</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> All bullshit, you were “Nobody”’s right-hand man, impossible that you don't know that.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Cop, let me speak. I was saying that I don't know exactly the details, but I know something. Can I go?</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Obviously.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Many times I saw Furlan talking to “Nobody”. He would come into his office, discuss complex dynamics for hours and then leave. “Nobody” talked to me about how distribution works, he referred to a van- <em>(interruption)</em>.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Wait a minute, you said "van". Do you know what this van looked like?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Of course, for a period I even had to drive it. A Fiat Marengo. I don't know how “Nobody” got it.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Perfect, go ahead <em>(jots down the information in a notebook)</em>.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> So, “Nobody” asked me to make several deliveries with the Marengo, would you like me to explain how the car works?</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> You can tell them when my assistant arrives. Now go ahead and tell me who the producers and distributors are.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> All right. The boss used to ask me to go to the Sewer District, there were several criminal gangs there, I would arrive and unload; however, with regard to the Furlan scandal, he used to make me stop at a warehouse first, there they would give me big bags full of amnestics; one day I went through some documents on the desk of the warehouse, there were several documents there that mentioned MC&D, invoices and other things. A lot of them mentioned Furlan, but others mentioned [CANCELLED], one of MC&D's major members.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> So, according to you, MC&D, and not only Gorična, favoured the development of criminal gangs. But why?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Easy, they had a percentage of the profit.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> What can you tell me about Backdoor SoHo? Have you been there?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Of course, there too, a small warehouse, paperwork in the bin where they presented the same style of document.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Are other people involved in the traffic?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Yes, even the Fae are involved.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> Do we know that they are amnestic users, besides that?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> This you surely don't know, the Fae have done something more. Have you ever wondered how it is that amnestics are so common to find in such a short time?</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> I imagine that given corruption of the MC&D and governments, you were able to act undisturbed and even with the Marengo you managed to go fairly unnoticed.</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Of course, but there is more. There are lists to identify consumers, both in Gorična and Esterberg. The Fae have created these lists to make our work easier.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> My God, the list of people involved is getting gigantic. Do you know anything else?</p> <p><strong>Germano:</strong> Unfortunately, no.</p> <p><strong>Vodopivec:</strong> All right <em>(gets up, heads for the door)</em> Guard! Open up! We have finished!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><END LOG></strong></p> </div> <p>After this, the search turned to find out how many MC&D members were involved in this action. Currently, today 2012/04/08 several members were found to be involved in the distribution, the higher ranks of the MC&D decided to increase controls at the 3 locations in Esterberg, Backdoor SoHo and Gorična and punish those involved.</p> <hr/> <p><strong>Addendum-2: Meeting regarding SCP-014-INT</strong></p> <div style="border:solid 3px; padding:5px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <p><strong>Attendees:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Dr. Rivera, Site-120 Director Council</li> <li>Agent Tess, Factotum Disinformation Bureau</li> <li>Dr. Shirley Gillespie, Site-77 Director</li> </ul> <p><strong>Location:</strong> Site-120</p> <p><strong>Topic:</strong> SCP-014-INT</p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><BEGIN LOG></strong></p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> Meeting starts, no designated endpoint.</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> I still don't understand why we couldn't have just talked over the phone.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> It's more secure this way. Please focus on the discussion topic.</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> Right, so anything on the Fae list?</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> <em>(shakes his head)</em> The list that the van has should be non-anomalous, except for some name-magic to find the potential buyers on it. There seems to be some actual magic Fae list that all others copy from for all kinds of business. We're not so sure if the original list is even in Gorična.</p> <p><strong>Rivera:</strong> We'll keep an eye out as well.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> If the list isn't a primary concern can we get back to SCP-014-INT? What about amnestic production?</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> Oh, we took a look at their warehouses. The problem is they had no amnestics. They certainly had the material you need for amnestics, but neither the full thing nor any equipment you could possibly use to make them.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> Do you have any ideas about how they made them?</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> I'm stumped. There should be no one capable outside of the Foundation to make them.</p> <p><strong>Rivera:</strong> Some Yeren might.</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> Really?</p> <p><strong>Rivera:</strong> There is some knack for parabiology there. And from what I've seen that also extends to chemicals.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> So you find it reasonable that a group of SCP-1000 is responsible for the production?</p> <p><strong>Rivera:</strong> It doesn't have to be a group, just a single Yeren could be enough.</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> How did they get the amnestics in the van then? The warehouses only supplied ingredients.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> It does however give further reason why they haven't commercialized it. If there's only a group or a single person responsible for the supply then Marshall, Carter & Dark can't go commercial with it. The supplier can cut off relationships at any point.</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> <em>(snorts)</em> I'm sure MCD bought enough amnestics that they can sell them as a limited item in their auctions later, should it come to that.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> Likely. We can deal with that later.</p> <p><strong>Rivera:</strong> Either way we have to catch the van. If we can't catch the supplier, we can at least restrict their trade to one nexus.</p> <p><strong>Gillespie:</strong> That would be an improvement at least.</p> <p><strong>Tess:</strong> It seems we have a consensus on how to move forward.

Two times per day, a pig <em>(Sus domestica)</em> is to be introduced in the cell to let SCP-015-IT feed.<br/> Personnel assigned to SCP-015-IT must take psychological evaluations weekly and must be cycled every 3 months.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-015-IT is a humanoid entity around 1.9 meters tall, with hairless skin capable of absorbing 98% of incident light. Its face possesses no nose or external ears, and its eyes can emit light due to photophores placed on its iris. The mouth has 8 pointed teeth in each jaw, while the tongue (28 cm long) is forked; on both points there are two hollow needles directly connected to the esophagus. SCP-015-IT's arms are disproportionately long when compared to the body and the hands end with four clawed hands. Physically, SCP-015-IT appears to have reduced muscular mass; despite this, it is surprisingly strong and can easily subdue an adult human. SCP-015-IT is highly resilient to physical damage and can heal quickly from wounds and damage to internal organs.</p> <p>SCP-015-IT is predominantly active during the night and feeds exclusively on adrenaline and noradrenaline produced by mammals, with a preference for human prey. To procure them, SCP-015-IT developed a hunting method aimed at scaring its target as much as possible: usually, it hides in dark spots, trying to not be seen, and stalks its victim. If it is not spotted, SCP-015-IT waits until its prey is distracted and approaches it silently, before grabbing it and biting them on the side. The bite is not meant to kill the victim, but to use the large teeth as anchors while the tongue darts forward and sinks directly in the adrenal gland<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>; the adrenaline rich blood rich is aspirated through one of the needles, while the other expels it with the addition of a mild sedative. This allows SCP-015-IT to keep the prey immobile without wasting too much energy, and to leave undisturbed after its meal.</p> <p>Prolonged observation of SCP-015-IT causes psychic deterioration to exposed subjects, with auditive and visual hallucinations, panic attacks, and, in the most sensitive individuals, damage to the cardiovascular system; the first symptoms appear after two weeks, but this time is reduced if SCP-015-IT doesn't feed regularly; the cause of this phenomenon is currently unknown, but it is theorized it is a method to rend vulnerable preys that would be too strong or aggressive otherwise.</p> <p><strong>Recovery log:</strong> SCP-015-IT was captured on 22/05/2012, after the police of [DATA REDACTED], in the province of Caserta, received many reports of "vampire" attacks. Site Vittoria sent the <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/squadre-speciali-mobili#SSM-IV">SSM-IV</a> (<em>"Pugnus Ferri"</em>) to deal with the menace. Due to its unsuspected agility and its coloring which allowed it to hide in dark areas, SCP-015-IT managed to avoid capture until it was shot with a transmitter that allowed the Foundation to trace its position. When it was surrounded, SCP-015-IT reacted with unforeseen violence and was able to kill █ soldiers and wound ██ before being subdued.</p> <p><strong>Addendum SCP-015-IT-a:</strong> During his time undercover in the place SCP-015-IT was found, the agent ███████ came in contact with a member of the <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/gruppi-di-interesse#CCSG">Confraternity of Saint George's Knights</a>. In an encounter between the two agents, it was revealed that the Confraternity had captured SCP-015-IT, but it escaped roughly two months before being contained by the Foundation. After receiving this information, the Director of Site Vittoria requested and obtained the CCSG's documents regarding SCP-015-IT.

This allows it to keep itself in a physical shape adapted to the limits imposed by mortal reality.<br/> It also possesses notable physical strength and intelligence comparable to that of a human being; the creature uses these characteristics to hunt and escape its enemies. Another important property is its resistance to blessed weapons, which only manage to inflict minor damage compared to their full potential.</p> <p><strong>Note from Father Ilardi, 14/04/2011:</strong> <em>I am increasingly fascinated by the creature we have captured: despite its mere sight being repugnant beyond every limit, I'm starting to believe that its soul is gentle; I noticed that its screams are similar to a pained cry and that they get subside when I speak to it with a comforting tone. I think that it was originally a human soul before the Enemy transformed it into the monster it is now. I must find a way to communicate with it: it is my duty to bring back to the Lord every lost soul.</em></p> <p><strong>Note from Father Ilardi, 24/06/2011:</strong> <em>I can affirm with certainty that the Dia-212 is not completely evil: it showed great curiosity towards everything that was showed to it, and it does not harbor hatred or fear for holy objects. Initially, it was very distrustful and always drew back whenever I approached it, but not only did it never attack me, it also grew fond of me and my disciples. However, it pains me to admit that it remains fearful towards all those who wear the uniform of our Holy Order, perhaps because of the wounds it sustained during capture. I shall recommend to everyone to wear different clothing to not make it nervous, and to try a gentler approach with the creature.</em></p> <p><strong>Letter for Cardinal ███████, dated 18/03/2012:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Most Illustrious Eminence,</p> <p>I am sorry to inform you about a serious accident that occurred during the night between the 15th and 16th of this month.

SCP-018-DE	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="Genehmigung.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-wiki-de.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-018-de/Genehmigung.jpg" style="width:300px;"/> <div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:300px;"> <p>SCP-018-DE</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-018-DE</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-018-DE is to be stored in a Class 4 locker equipped with alarm systems. The locker is gas-tight and, as a precaution against unauthorized access, is flooded with the highly toxic and mask-breaking security-gas G/232SFD-E, which is removed in case of authorized access. Admission to SCP-018-DE requires approval by O4-4. The room is kept under surveillance using CCTV cameras lacking microphones, which are monitored by two independent, illiterate guards, incapable of lip-reading or any sign language. Guards are to remain unaware of the content and effect of SCP-018-DE. If they detect an unauthorized access attempt, they are to release G/232SFD-E into the room in which the locker is located. Unauthorized personnel in possession of SCP-018-DE are to be terminated instantly and without making any prior contact. SCP-018-DE may only be transported by a remote-controlled robot. Unauthorized use of SCP-018-DE is to be prevented by any and all means.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-018-DE is a piece of paper which has been cut approximately to an A5 format using scissors. It is printed with text in German declaring that the owner of the Object "may do that"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. It contains no evidence as to either the creator or source of the object. The signature is indecipherable. The reverse side of the object is blank.</p> <p>If the individual in possession of SCP-018-DE is asked to justify themselves or is caught committing a crime and shows SCP-018-DE, all people within four meters become convinced that the possessor of SCP-018-DE was authorized to act as they did. This effect also manifests in people who become aware of SCP-018-DE's content within ten minutes, be it via radio, media or by being told so by other affected. This effect is permanent and only reversible by the administration of amnestics. Affected individuals will try to justify the act to those not affected, and even attempt to protect the culprit with their lives and by using deadly force. The urge to protect the possessor of SCP-018-DE rises with the degree of contempt by authorities, media and the general public for the subject.</p> <p>If SCP-018-DE is stolen or lost, the effect on all individuals affected by the possessor vanishes within 48 hours, and they become aware of the severity of the possessor's crimes, as well as their own. In the event that the former possessor regains possession of SCP-018-DE, it can be used again. If it is regained before 48 hours have elapsed, the effect persists among all individuals still affected. If SCP-018-DE is voluntarily relinquished to somebody else, the effect also persists. A person gaining possession of SCP-018-DE will promptly become aware of its primary effect and feel an urge to use it.</p> <p><strong>Addendum-1:</strong> This is a list of crimes and security-breaches committed by multiple individuals with the help of SCP-018-DE:</p> <ul> <li>247 cases of theft of goods, each worth below 1,000€</li> <li>12 cases of theft of goods, each worth between 1,000€ and 100,000€</li> <li>2 cases of bank robbery, with captured goods worth ca. 4,000,000€</li> <li>7 cases of unauthorized accesses to the women's showers at a gym</li> <li>1 case of rape</li> <li>3 cases of murder of non-Foundation personnel</li> <li>4 cases of theft of anomalous objects in the possession of the Foundation in Germany</li> <li>The release of SCP-███-DE (neutralized)</li> <li>The theft of SCP-███-DE (regained)</li> <li>Leaking of 8 TB of data from the Foundations Database (neutralized)</li> <li>The murder of O4-█</li> <li>[DATA EXPUNGED]</li> </ul> <p><strong>Addendum-2:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><em>On the grounds of the danger posed by 018-DE falling into the wrong hands, I propose the neutralization of the object. Seriously, it's just paper, that much is proven. It burns. I know: we secure, we contain, we protect. But this thing has cost us an O4 already. How many others will have to die?</em> — Dr. Schwab</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><em>What about using SCP-018-DE for our goals instead? The GOC, authorities, politicians and all the other nutjobs wouldn't pose a problem anymore. We would just need trustworthy people and a fail-safe emergency plan.</em> — Dr. Brunnenberg</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><em>Dr. Schwab's motion is hereby denied! The special containment procedures are sufficient. Just because it burns doesn't mean it's destructible. Just think of <a href="http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682">SCP-682</a>, which gets stronger with every attempt to destroy it, and trust me, you as the project manager do not want something like that. That's why we only neutralize SCPs in the case of an extreme emergency. Before you ask, no, it will stay Euclid. Dr. Brunnenberg's proposal is currently not in contemplation, but we will keep it an open option.</em> — O4-4</p> </blockquote> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

SCP-019-IT	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="Sea_urchin_tests.jpg" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Sea_urchin_tests.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>SCP-019-IT during the reproductive phase</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-019-IT</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> A single colony of SCP-019-IT is contained for research purposes in a structure for aquatic organisms at the Neptune Site. The pipes connected to this structure must contain gratings with spaces of width less than 2 cm (0,06 ft); in addition, the outlet water must be heated to 78°C (172,4°F) to denature the toxins produced by SCP-019-IT. Once every two months, 35 kg (77 lb) of vegetable material must be introduced into the tank to allow the specimens of SCP-019-IT to feed themselves.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-019-IT is a genetically modified species of marine organisms belonging to the <em>Echinoidea</em> class, commonly known as sea urchins. They are characterized by a round body that can reach a diameter of 14 cm (0.4 ft). There are no thorns on the body of SCP-019-IT, rather it posesses bumps that are connected to a venomous gland; when it feels threatened, SCP-019-IT releases from them a powerful neurotoxin in the surrounding area, which stimulates other specimens to release them in turn. The oral opening of SCP-019-IT has five sufficiently resistant bone-like plates to grind wood and small stones. SCP-019-IT is very adaptive and is capable of living in both fresh and salt water, at temperatures between -25°C (-13°F) and 60°C (140°F) and withstand pressures up to 48 atm (705 psi). SCP-019-IT can also enter a state of hibernation if there is not enough food for its subsistence.</p> <p>SCP-019-IT reproduces by budding: when a specimen of SCP-019-IT reaches a body mass of about 40 g (0,08 lb), some specialized cells present on the dorsal area begin to reproduce rapidly, forming a new individual that comes off once reached the mass of about 12 g (0,02 lb). The newborn can reproduce itself after only 36 hours if it has enough food.</p> <p>SCP-019-IT is capable of destroying entire ecosystems and cause the extinction of countless aquatic species in an extremely short time due to of its speed of reproduction, its adaptability and the lack of natural predators able to feed on it. For this reason, the SSM-II ("Legio Atlantidis") must investigate any news concerning SCP-019-IT and delete any specimen.</p> <p><strong>Recovery Log:</strong> A serious loss of fish occurred in 2016 in Marina di Sestri, Genova, attracted the attention of the Foundation, which sent the SSM-II to investigate. Analysis of seawater samples and fish carcasses revealed the presence of an unknown neurotoxin, particularly concentrated in an area about 400 m (1312 ft) from the coast. The area was explored through a modified 'Oceanus' drone that identified as a toxin source a large container resting on the seabed about 120 m (393 ft) deep. The SSM-II used a special ship to extract it and transport it to the Neptune Site, where it was opened; within it more than ████ specimens of SCP-019-IT were found. Twenty of them were contained to study them while the others were eliminated and incinerated.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Note of Captain Basilio Aramini, commander of the SSM-II:</strong> SCP-019-IT represents an immense threat: just imagine what would have happened if that container had been opened. For this reason, I request the installation along the Italian coasts of sensors able to identify the neurotoxin produced by SCP-019-IT so as to be able to trace the free specimens.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Note from the Sixth Superintendent:</strong> The Council of S5 approves the request. The SSM-II can proceed with the creation and installation of the detectors both along the coasts and in the lake areas.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Addendum SCP-019-IT-A:</strong> During an SSM-IV ("Pugnus Ferri") raid, an aquarium containing four specimens of SCP-019-IT in a state of hibernation was found on a base of the "Occult Fascist Council". Further investigations led to the discovery of several encrypted documents concerning the creation and refinement of the entity, including a diary written by one of the researchers. The diary has been completely decoded, having been written with a relatively simple code; some pages are shown below.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Extracts from the documentation on SCP-019-IT</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <p><strong>Date: 24/04/2016, page 1</strong><br/> Today there are new Chimeras from Base 9.

The object's initial sighting<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> occurred when it moved through the southernmost lithograph region of Argentina and Uruguay.</p> <p>Vessels that navigated the Antarctic and Atlantic oceans spotted the object, and related 'strange melodies echoing from within'; the object was secured by the Brazilian Navy, and, shortly after transferred to Foundation custody. SCP-021-PT was towed and anchored in the Antarctic Ocean, and its current stationary state has since been unaltered by oceanic streams.</p> <p>It is observed that SCP-021-PT has a singular entry point that leads to a glacial lapa cavern. This formation is predominantly horizontal, and possesses a unique room, which is directly connected to the entrance of a type of man-made structure, resembling a structurally-fragmented theatre<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>.

It seems that the allegory of a Faustian bargain has never been so well-depicted outside literature.

Not this way though. Not this way.</p> <p>Jacob ushered us to do the best presentation we could ever imagine of after speaking with that devil of a woman if anything could describe such a vixen. I think she is behind all of this. We heard her words but we didn't listen to them.</p> <p>We thought that all those people rising from their seats to applaud us was some type of dream, everything we asked for; the roses, the letters, their admiration. Then everything shook, and went black for a moment.</p> <p>The public rushed to the exit, screaming. They tried to exit but there was nowhere to go; the theatre was adrift, like some sort of ship. Even worse, onwards to a desolate place, the cold started biting at us. So they came back.</p> <p>After a short period of chaos, we decided to gather our wits, and make a plan. So, we took volunteers with some degree of courage, and intelligence to take the lead of the situation, and stepped on the parterre. We could transform the whole theatre into a ship or something, provide important things to people such as clothes, and food (if only we could fish), with some creativity.</p> <p>We gathered everyone, and managed to think about something; decided to announce to everyone else at the time of the next presentation, and so we did. Some looked at us in dismay, others cursed but most clapped, volunteered, and wished everyone the best of luck.</p> <p>So it happened.</p> <p>Those in the auditorium started to curl, complain, and cursed at us. At first, we thought that it was just a huge change of mind. We felt desolated. Then we realized that they were becoming like the ice just a few kilometres from us. They started freezing in place, becoming some sort of mannequin.</p> <p>We would've rushed to them. But we ourselves had been affected by that strange disease. Our fingers became ice, we lost our semblance. I don't know what is worse, being entrapped in this form with a mind of your own, or becoming a mindless statue-like our audience. The pain had cast everyone into inaction some, (as we had thought back then) thankfully, escaped that fate.</p> <p>What had we become?</p> <p>We started to devise plans to escape as soon as possible now that the theatre was inbound to that frozen wasteland but there was a problem. Every date in which we were supposed to have a presentation, and none happened, the frozen statues would start hooting us, alive again. We tried to make them cooperate but it only worsened. The floor between the auditorium started to crack, so after a time we couldn't even commute.</p> <p>Then one day, those things appeared from the crack. Devious creatures of ice, and ruthlessness that hunted us without mercy. We tried to run, we tried to hide but the only thing that would quell them were new presentations. A few of us had gathered to bid our goodbye by doing what we loved, what we wanted, only to be surprised by the lack of chaos and death.</p> <p>Of course, we kept repeating. We felt hunger or fatigue no more. If only we could gain time, and devise a way of escaping before everything froze but we had wasted too much time. Now wasting time is our routine, and we've come to hate what we do. Yet, something keeps forcing us to do it.</p> <p>I hate myself.<br/> I am so sorry.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

SCP-024-FR	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-024-FR</p> <p><strong>Threat Level:</strong> Yellow <span style="color:yellow">●</span></p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-024-FR is to be kept under a sealed glass bell jar at all times, in a 2×2×2.5m room fitted with an airlock capable of being vacuum sealed at any time. Should the glass dome be damaged, a D-Class subject equipped with a hazmat suit is to enter the room to assess the damage in order to have the glass dome replaced as soon as possible. Light repairs such as sealing off cracks or putting on mastic are not to be considered sufficient, and may only be carried out at the behest of Level 2 personnel for a limited amount of time.</p> <p>The exact vector by which SCP-024-FR affects human beings is still unknown, any affected personnel is to be immediately restrained with a straitjacket and placed in a standard hospital bed, under permanent medical surveillance. Their jaw is to be kept shut by force.</p> <p><strong>As of Incident 024-FR-21, personnel are not permitted to stay within the containment chamber longer than twenty (20) minutes, regardless of the protective clothing they are wearing.</strong></p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-024-FR appears to be a normal Parisian ham sandwich, exhibiting a very large size, with an estimated diameter of 35cm and a length of 20cm. Observing the object has no effect as long as it is kept under its sealed glass bell jar. Therefore, it is assumed that the effect is due to a smell or non-transmissible pathogen infecting the subject, hereafter designated SCP-024-FR-1.</p> <p>The process described in Experience Log 024-1 is triggered at the first exposure to the object. The subject feels the urgent need to swallow SCP-024-FR all at once, regardless of the physical damage such an action would cause. One side of the sandwich is covered with a standard paper towel, which does not display the name of any restaurant or brand. Instead, an inscription reads "Go ahead, U can Totali swalo Dat", and, lower, "Are We Tasty Yet?". As such, the object is suspected to be linked to the pseudo-artistic Group of Interest <em>Are We Cool Yet?</em>. It was found laying on a dustbin in a back alley of ██████, next to the corpse of a homeless person who seemed to have [DATA EXPUNGED] his own jaw.</p> <p>As of 08/17/2012, by edict of the Ethics Committee (Letter 024CE65, archived), it is forbidden to expose any human being to SCP-024-FR. This limits current knowledge on the effects of the anomaly (attempts at exposing animals have been unsuccessful). This document is based on the circumstances of its recovery and on the following experience log:</p> <p><strong>Addendum 024-21:</strong> An incident involving Dr Lears has led to a revaluation of the current containment procedures for SCP-024-FR, and new procedures are under review. For now, it is forbidden to expose personnel more than necessary, and only as part of constructive experiments approved by at least one Level 2 personnel. The only available description of the incident comes from Dr Lears' personal recorder. Transcript of the recording is attached to this document as Incident Log 024-LEARS-A8.</p> <p><strong>Experience Log 024-1, 08/14/2012:</strong> First and last exposure attempt of a D-Class (D-0568) to SCP-024-FR.</p> <p>D-0568 is wearing no protection, and is equipped with an earpiece to receive instructions from researchers, who are monitoring the room through the security camera. However, the procedure consisted of sending the D-Class subject into the containment chamber without precautions for exposure. T=0 designates the moment D-0568 began to show an interest in SCP-024-FR and is not to be considered accurate without further testing.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>T=-2min23:</strong> D-0568 enters the chamber, and approaches of the glass dome under which SCP-024-FR is placed, waiting for instructions.<br/> <strong>T=-1min57:</strong> D-0568 removes the glass dome and put it on the ground. D-0568 exhibits no particular behaviour and looks bored.<br/> <strong>T=0min00:</strong> D-0568 shows a keen interest in the object. He bends down, as if he is studying its length.<br/> <strong>T=2min06:</strong> D-0568 is now taking measures with his hands, visibly comparing its length, width and especially its diameter.<br/> <strong>T=3min11:</strong> D-0568 seems to be losing himself in an intense reflection, comparing the object's measurement with his jaw. Dr Baltin requests the immediate cessation of the experiment. Denied.<br/> <strong>T=3min24:</strong> D-0568 is holding the object and tries to insert it inside his mouth, unsuccessfully. The object's diameter is much too big for his jaw. Dr Baltin is dismissed for his inability to stay calm.<br/> <strong>T=3min48:</strong> D-0568 shows signs of confusion. He attempts to open his mouth wider, with the help of his hands, trying to match the object's measurements.<br/> <strong>T=4min12:</strong> D-0568 grasps his lower jaw with one hand and his upper jaw with the other one, showing signs of intense effort. Dr Laurent is dismissed for his inability to stay calm.<br/> <strong>T=5min06:</strong> D-0568 has managed to break his jaw. Subject seems to suffer at a normal level for a bone fracture with important lesions of facial tissues. SCP-024-FR does not seem to anesthetize the subject. Pain increases as he unsuccessfully tries to insert the object in the opening. Despite pain and blood loss, D-0568 appears to be determined. Dr Harlow is dismissed for his inability to cease asking for subject's termination.<br/> <strong>T=5min46:</strong> Subject dies as a result of his injuries following complete ablation of his lower jaw. It has to be noted that the object shows no damage after D-0568's attempt to consume it.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Excerpt from Incident Log 024-LEARS-A8, 01/02/2013</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>"[…] However, it appears that the object was designed in an aesthetic way, attesting to the implication of "Are We Cool Yet?" as much as its abilities, even though the object has no memetic effect like those morons are used to. I asked Agent Dears, she's a specialist. According to her, it matches their mode of operation, a sort of criticism of overconsumption. But she doesn't understand how it works any more than we do. I'll check skips linked to this Group of Interest after the break. Maybe we'll understand why those fools tortured themselves for this sandwich. That's incredibly sick.

A 10L water tank is installed in the containment chamber, and human blood<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> is pumped into the tank using a special hydraulic system every 12 hours. In the event of a malfunction, which is frequently caused by unexpected blood clotting, the water tank must be replaced by two D-Class<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> personnel whenever SCP-026-IT requires nourishment. SCP-026-IT must be in the capsule provided before the D-Class personnel are deployed, and must remain in the capsule until the replacement is completed.</p> <p>SCP-026-IT's containment chamber is provided with a cylindrical capsule, 1 meter in diameter and 2 meters in height, used to transport SCP-026-IT. This capsule must be used for any transport of SCP-026-IT outside the designated containment chamber. The capsule is equipped with two auxiliary reservoir water tanks each containing 2.5L to supply human blood to SCP-026-IT via intravenous injection continuously. The capsule is designed to allow excessive pressure to disperse along the 2-cm-thick plexiglass on the outer surface. The capsule is also provided with a steel exoskeleton, which serves both as reinforcement to the capsule and as a secondary barrier to protect personnel from SCP-026-IT. The capsule has ventilation systems at the top and bottom. The only entrance into the capsule is at the top.</p> <p>SCP-026-IT's containment chamber is equipped with a bathtub measuring 1.5m × 1.5m × 2m, and blood diluted in distilled water is always filled to allow the subject to use when nutrition is needed. The walls of the bathtub consist of 5-cm-thick one-sided transparent glass plates. A motion-sensing surveillance camera is installed outside the bathtub to monitor SCP-026-IT's behavior in the bathtub through the glass.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-026-IT is a Slavic female, allegedly of Russian nationality, approximately 30 years of age. Subject's eyes are green and hair is red, standing 1.7 m tall, and weighing 60 kg.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> SCP-026-IT is capable of speaking and acting like a normal human. SCP-026-IT's eyes emit mild green light due to bioluminescence, with the amount of light emitted varying depending on the amount of blood present in SCP-026-IT's body. Furthermore, SCP-026-IT's scalp follicles have a very irregular hair cycle, repeating a period of excessive hair growth followed by intense periods of hair loss that eventually lead to total baldness.</p> <p>SCP-026-IT consistently displays symptoms of acute radiation syndrome, including: epidermal degeneration and spontaneously presenting burns upon exposure to high doses of radiation, periods of delirium<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup> and emesis, followed by spontaneous formation of internal bleeding. SCP-026-IT also displays symptoms of radiation sterility, apart from the aforementioned anomalies described above, the entity presented an unusually regular menstrual cycle.</p> <p>SCP-026-IT cannot consume solid or liquid food and can only obtain nutrients from human blood, preferably intravenously. SCP-026-IT is also capable of absorbing liquids, with a maximum viscosity of two times that of water through its skin due to the subject's cellular structure, which is currently under research. For ease of ingestion, it is recommended to dilute the blood in water to reduce its viscosity and make it 'drinkable' through the skin.</p> <p>SCP-026-IT's stem cells, in general, are unable to generate healthy cells, which constantly mutate and frequently become non-functional cells. The only way for SCP-026-IT to carry out efficient cell regeneration is through the absorption of nutrients present in the blood. It is hypothesized that SCP-026-IT stem cells have high proliferative capacity, but in the absence of necessary nutrients, they do not appear to be capable of forming healthy cells. Microscopic examination of various tissue samples of SCP-026-IT has shown how such regeneration is capable of generating cells that are not normally regenerable for a human being.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong> All research on SCP-026-IT's properties is presently halted.<br/> <br/></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ File: SCP-026-IT Acquisition Process Document </a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">➤ Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="display: inline-block; border-radius: 5px; border: dashed 1px #444444; background: #F5F5F5; float: top; width: 96.5%; padding: 10px"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="026-IT.png" class="image" src="http://fondazionescp.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-026-it/026-IT.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Scan of SCP-026-IT's disappearance flyer, under the name "Veronika Lagounova", dating back to 1973.

SCP-026-IT was under the jurisdiction of the Russian Branch at Biological Site-23 until May 12, 1993, when it was transferred indefinitely to the Italian Branch of the Foundation. Immediately after the transfer, Dr. Sokolova was assigned as the chief containment researcher.</p> <p><br/> As noted in Document VIUS/026-IT/12.2, SCP-026-IT was transferred to the Italian Branch of the Foundation at the direct request of Dr. Sokolova. This is a measure that allows more meticulous research and seeks to ensure more effective containment as the Russian Branch does not have a specialized facility for humanoid object containment, such as Site Iride.

Unlike healthy blood, which SCP-026-IT physically requires and is constantly supplied with, infected blood appears to cause SCP-026-IT to become addicted to the blood regardless of the disease it carries. If healthy blood enters the body, SCP-026-IT can withstand up to five hours without exhibiting symptoms of acute radiation syndrome.</p> <p>At 19:17, SCP-026-IT, during a psychotic episode, managed to break through the door of its containment chamber with unprecedented force and killed 8 personnel. From what was deduced from the recordings and the survivors' report, it attacked and killed the staff solely in self-defense to continue into the facility. Based on the route taken by SCP-026-IT, it is presumed that it was headed toward the IRDE/STC-06 storage area in hopes of finding more infected blood. It is currently unknown how SCP-026-IT knew the route.</p> <p>At 19:43, with the intervention of appropriately armed security personnel in full-coverage hermetic suits and armed with stun-only weapons, SCP-026-IT was quickly contained in a temporary containment cell, whilst personnel Dr. Ingargiola Giuseppe and containment technician Prof. Maurizio Piombo were tasked with examining the water tank and the original containment chamber of SCP-026-IT to better understand the subject's behavior. Once the contaminated blood was discovered and replaced with clean blood, SCP-026-IT was transported to its cell.

SCP-026-IT, let's get started.<br/> <br/> <em>SCP-026-IT throughout the interview demonstrates an attitude characterized by anxiety, stuttering, and trembling.</em><br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> If you don't mind, you can call me Veronika…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N. Sokolova:</strong> That won't be necessary. Can we start?<br/> <br/> <em>Although the reason for this is unknown, SCP-026-IT appears to be more intimidated by Dr. Sokolova than other Foundation personnel.

Sokolova:</strong> So, first of all, what do you know about your condition?<br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> I have always been affected by a congenital syndrome. They wanted to name it after me, but I think right now my name only appears in my obituary…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N. Sokolova:</strong> Please don't digress. Do you know what this syndrome consists of?<br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> Sorry… My immune system was spontaneously attacking a variety of my tissues, resulting in symptoms similar to necrotizing fasciitis when it attacked superficial tissues… Doctors thought they could use immunosuppressant drugs to calm the symptoms…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N. Sokolova:</strong> You are not currently taking immunosuppressant drugs, so I assume the therapy was changed some time ago.<br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> Yes… Immunosuppressant drugs were not enough, so they were discontinued… The biggest fear of the doctors was that my immune system would attack the nerve or bone tissue… Then one day I was offered to move to Russia, to a place bordering Siberia for an intensive research session. From what I've heard there are a lot of people who were sick like me from all over the world…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N. Sokolova:</strong> Who offered you this opportunity? The same doctors who were treating you?<br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> Yes… They said they had received funds for the study of particularly rare diseases like mine… But I suppose that was a lie, since the only memories I have of those days are of me falling asleep on the journey on the way out… I have no memories of that time, none at all…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N. Sokolova:</strong> What are your earliest memories after that period of emptiness?<br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> I remember waking up in a military hospital, being told that a military patrol found me in an abandoned factory on the Siberian border, naked, alone, and unconscious… They were shocked that I had survived more than an hour in that state in the middle of Russian winter…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N. Sokolova:</strong> And how were you? I mean, how are you now or how were you before the trip?<br/> <br/> <strong>SCP-026-IT:</strong> Right now… I spent in that hospital a few days before I was taken and detained indefinitely by you guys…<br/> <br/> <strong>Dr. N.

Personnel stationed here may use the wellness-areas for relaxation, which are operated by level 1 personnel. Should civilians try to book a room, they are to be put off with alleged overbooking. The associated grounds are fenced-in and under video surveillance, and there are 2 guard squads on patrol at all times. The driveways are under access control.</p> <p>The subterranean sectors of SCP-028-DE are fully under video surveillance and are permanently patrolled by 12 guard squads of no less than 8 men, armed with an arsenal reaching from normal assault rifles and flame throwers up to laser-projectors. For a full list of equipment see #028-DE/A3</p> <p>There are 18 Scranton Reality Anchors on the surface, with various disguises and guarded and under surveillance at all time, in a vertical distance of exactly 747.9 m (seven-hundred forty-seven point nine) from a fixed metering point on the perimeter, and an even distance to each other, correct to a decimeter. These SRAs are to be permanently in operation and calibrated to 20 Hm ± 0.1 Hm.</p> <p>Around SCP-028-DE-C in Room ᚠ is a spherical framework with a diameter of 18 m, holding 36 SRAs in as even distances as possible. On one side the SRAs and the frame are pivoting, to allow access for the equipment from #028-DE/P1.</p> <p>Should reality-deviation of more than 2 Hm be detected on one or more Anchors, all off-duty personnel are to be put into standby, the site's Reaction-Forces have to take up their stations and O4<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> is to be informed. If the deviation reaches 6 Hm, O5 is to be informed and codeword “Heimdall” is to be sent to Site-DE20 with top priority and with normal priority to the facilities on list #028-DE/A1. The Reaction-Forces start preparing protocol “Mjölnir”. Individuals from U-3378-DE (SCP-028-DE-A) that may manifest as of a deviation of 11 Hm are to be neutralized by <em>all</em> available means.</p> <p>Should SCP-028-DE-C open, the protocol “Mjölnir” is to be executed. Should protocol “Mjölnir” be unsuccessful or should the deviation reach 18 Hm, Site-DE20 is ordered by O4 or O5 to execute protocol “Ragnarök”.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-028-DE is Site-DE3. Site-DE3 is the former headquarter and secret research facility of the former <a href="https://scp-int.wikidot.com/skp-portal">Sonderkommando für Paranormales</a><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, and until the first appearance of SCP-028-DE-A during #028-DE/I1, was mainly used to research the SKP's work and for storage of SCPs not requiring complex Containment Procedures and care. After incident #028/DE-I2 Site-DE3 was classified as SCP-028-DE and all stored SCPs were transferred to other facilities.</p> <p>SCP-028-DE consists of 106 rooms on 8 levels which are connected by hallways, staircases, and lifts. All rooms are marked with a rune of the elder futhark and sometimes a number, depending on their kind. The upper levels contain mostly rooms for personnel, training, and storage. The mid-levels contain laboratories, offices, and workshops, the lower levels contain cells and containment rooms. In the center of the facility, Room ᚠ is located, a hall reaching over four levels. Both accesses are equipped with armored doors and in the second level above the room's ground is a control room with observation windows made from bullet-proof glass, which leads to the conclusion that Room ᚠ was used as a containment room and/or experimental laboratory. However, the SKP has destroyed all records about the purpose of the room as well as the controls before the Foundation took over.</p> <p>Since incident #028-DE/I2 there is a portal (SCP-028-DE-C) in the middle of Room ᚠ, leading to universe U-3378-DE. The portal is currently closed by the SRAs around SCP-028-DE.</p> <p><strong>Appendices:</strong></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Show incident-protocol #028-DE/I1</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Hide incident-protocol</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <p><em>On the 199█-██-██ at 02:47 in the morning - SCP-028-DE then was designated just as Site-DE3 and was not fully under video surveillance - the terminal of Dr. █████ turned itself off after false passwords were entered repeatedly while trying to access documents of clearance level 4, and triggered an alarm.</em><br/> <em>As nobody worked on night-shifts despite the guards, and nightly access to the lower levels was only possible with an exception permit, a silent intruder alert was triggered according to alarm-protocol.

These SCPs were immediately relocated and the security of the respective sites was raised.</p> <p>As Scranton Reality Anchors were unavailable at that time, surveillance cameras were installed in all hallways and the guards were stocked up, all SCPs were transferred to other facilities, access to the Foundation's database was strongly limited and only the SKP's work was researched. Already then it was considered to declare the facility an SCP, but it was not deemed necessary.</p> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Open Incident #028-DE/I2 </a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Access granted</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Preamble:</strong><br/> Located in the ceiling of Room ᚠ was a down curved cover with a diameter of circa 2 m, which could not be removed from inside the room, and left the impression of being part of a larger device inside the ceiling. In the week before the 200█-██-██, the site director ordered that the floor of Room ᚾ2, which is located directly above Room ᚠ, was to be opened to access the device assumed to be inside the ceiling. Right below a thin concrete floor of Room ᚾ2, there was a steel hatch leading to a low chamber in the ceiling between both levels, which turned out to be a maintenance area for the device in question. Inside some old tools, spare parts and an uninscribed wiring plan were found. Though no drawing or documentation indicating the purpose of the device could be uncovered. The type label of the device had been removed. According to technical analysis, it was technically similar to a Scranton Reality Anchor but was designed to rather emit radiation than a stabilizing field, with, what was formerly assumed to be a cover, serving as an emitter. It was presumed to have been a safety device for the real purpose of Room ᚠ, and it was decided to test the device, to put it to use if applicable. Hereafter it is designated as SCP-028-DE-B.</p> <p><strong>Incident #028-DE/I2:</strong></p> <p>Despite its age, it was technically faultless and connected to a terminal, set up in the control room, which also controlled the other systems of the room. In accordance with safety-standards for reality-affecting machinery, all non-essential personnel was evacuated from the facility and all sectors were locked down. SRAs were very rare at that time and unavailable for the test. It is to be mentioned that all radio transmissions of the following protocol were digital and encrypted.</p> <p>The following is a transcript of an audio-/video protocol from the control room:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Present in the control room are Dr. Wilhelm Wiesmann (project manager), Dr. Frauke Meier (physicist), Dipl. Ing. Tobias Gretenkordt (electrical engineer), Lieutenant Cem Yilmaz (guard commander) and four armed guardsmen. Behind each armored door, two groups each of 12 men of the reaction forces are waiting, additional reaction- and security forces are on stand-by. MTF DE8-𝔊 (at that time without portable SRAs but already specialized for reality benders) is readied and on stand-by. The room is equipped with various measuring instruments; in lack of a Kant-Counter the reality-deviation can not be measured in Hume, but a laser grid detects distortions and diffraction of the room.</em></p> <p>< START OF PROTOCOL ></p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Recording. Alright, the security protocols are in effect, electrical supply and data link to our mysterious device are online, Room Fehu <em>(name of the rune ᚠ)</em> is empty. Gretenkordt, status?</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> All is ready. My finger hovers over the big red button.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Well, press it then.</p> <p><em>Dipl. Ing. Gretenkordt activates the device.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> I'm measuring a rise of long wave electromagnetic radiation. Nothing else. Or… wait, how shall I put it… it spreads over the frequency band. In other words, there is a slow increase in short wave radiation.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Can you determine the source? <em>(The measuring points are arranged in a way that the source of any detected radiation can be triangulated.)</em><br/> <strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> Yes, definitely the dome in the ceiling. The radiation soon will reach visible light.<br/> <em>A few minutes later the dome seems to emit a deep red glow, which seems to wander slowly over bright red, yellow, etc. to cover the whole color spectrum until it exceeds the spectrum of visible light.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> It seems to spread further. Now it has reached the spectrum of hard X-radiation. I just don't understand what for… Wait, it stopped. At ███ pm… Now it seems to degrade from the top, I mean from the longwave spectrum… as if it would focus on this wavelength.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> But wouldn't an emitter for electromagnetic radiation emit the correct wavelength right from the start? Why covering the whole spectrum? That's a waste of time.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> Willi, we are talking about a Nazi-device here. Of all they did, they did nothing just because, especially not the SKP. There must be a reason. Maybe it was searching for a wavelength or frequency, and we just don't know by what criteria it chooses.</p> <p><em>The light turns green, then blue, purple and then goes out.</em></p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> Who knows, maybe it is a satellite dish and now a portal opens, with Nazi-zombies on dinosaurs and…</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Fuck, abort!</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> What? Why…</p> <p><em>Dr. Wiesmann pushes an emergency-shutdown-button, which disconnects SCP-028-DE-B from its electrical supply.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> <em>(Visibly shaken)</em> That <em>is</em> a satellite dish! It has been searching for a frequency to communicate! We…</p> <p><strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> Willi, we have a problem. The device is still running, and right now only emits radiation on this frequency.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> What?! Gretenkordt?</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> We didn't understand the first half of the device and the other half is unknown technology to us. Maybe this thing has a battery or so.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Fucking Shit!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via radio:</strong> Naudis 2, blow up the device, immediately!</p> <p><strong>Reaction force in Room ᚾ2:</strong> Acknowledged, blowing up the device. <em>Short silence</em> Demolition not possible, the hatch cannot be opened.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via radio:</strong> Then think about a way, the…</p> <p><strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> The device now focusses on that frequency. I'm detecting a fluctuation in the middle of the room!</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> I'm restarting the device. Maybe a new search operation interrupts whatever is going on.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Do that.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via site intercom:</strong> Wiesmann to all personnel, we may be facing a containment breach, prepare yourself!</p> <p><em>Now a spherical distortion is visible in the center of the room, which grows slowly.</em></p> <p><strong>Leutnant Yilmaz:</strong> Doctor, look!</p> <p><em>He points through the observation window to the distortion which has grown to a size of 3 m at this point, and through which the same room can be seen, just in another color.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Gretenkordt, do something!</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> The device is powered again but doesn't reboot. It probably has to run through the whole cycle or until the juice is empty, or it has to be rebooted manually. I have no clue!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Then go to Naudis 2 and pull the plug or whatever.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via radio:</strong> Naudis 2, you are getting visited by an engineer. See to get the hatch open. No matter how!</p> <p><em>Dipl. Ing. Gretenkordt quickly leaves the control room.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Meier:</strong> Hm, the distortion decreases but the anomaly does not shrink. Willi, that thing is normalizing with its surroundings!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> What does that mean?</p> <p><strong>Leutnant Yilmaz:</strong> You can look through it now, Doctor.</p> <p><em>The anomaly, SCP-028-DE-C, has taken the form of a sphere of Ø15 m with its lower third is immersed into the floor. On the other side, the same room can be seen but painted in pale green instead of white, and the anomaly is surrounded by an apparatus (similar to the frame with the SRAs that is being built later). With cameras observing the anomaly from different angles, it can be seen that on the other side lots of people are gathering. Multiple groups of armed personnel in light grey uniforms and body armor are mustering. Some smaller groups are moving big crates to positions in the room.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Holy shit…</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via site intercom:</strong> Wiesmann to all personnel, containment breach imminent, attack individuals in grey uniforms on sight!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via a secured channel to O4:</strong> Dr. Wiesmann from DE3 for O4, we are possibly facing an invasion from another reality! Requesting deployment of MTFs!</p> <p><strong>O4-█:</strong> O4 to Dr. Wiesmann, what sort of invasion are we talking about?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann to O4:</strong> Probably a universe full of Nazis.</p> <p><strong>O4-█:</strong> <em>Short break</em> Reinforcements are on their way. Hold them off as long as you can. O4 out.</p> <p><em>O4-█ dispatches MTF DE8-𝔊 (arrival via helicopter after ca. 15 minutes), MTF DE8-𝔅, armored MTF DE8-ℭ (both arrival after ca. 80 minutes) as well as the always-ready MTF DE4-𝔎 (arrival after ca. 25 minutes)</em></p> <p>< END OF PROTOCOL ></p> </blockquote> <p>While the MTFs are underway, the Reaction- and Security-forces of the site erect barricades and firing positions in front of the accesses to room ᚠ and in the main corridors. Remaining personnel that is not required is evacuated from the facility. The tank battalion PzBtl 64, the closest unit of the Bundeswehr, is brought to readiness with a fake emergency drill.</p> <p>The following is a transcript of the events after the arrival of MTF DE8-𝔊 ("8-Gustav"):</p> <blockquote> <p>< START OF PROTOCOL ></p> <p><em>MTF DE8-𝔊 has 20 members and is under command by Captain Martin Franz. It can be separated into three squads: Two combat squads of 8 individuals under command of Captain Franz and Lieutenant Nowak, as well as a technical-scientific squad of 4 under command of Doctor Schmieder.</em></p> <p><em>The likewise dispatched MTF DE4-𝔎 ("4-Karl") is to arrive about 10 minutes later and consists of 14 individuals under command of Captain Rüberg. All members of the MTF have passed a memetic-resistance-training class Ψ-3 and are trained for commando operations.</em></p> <p><em>MTF DE8-𝔊 arrives at Site-DE3 via helicopter 14 minutes after their dispatchment and proceed to the control room of Room ᚠ, in which Captain Franz, Lieutenant Nowak, and the TS-squad then are discussing with the team of Dr. Wiesmann.</em></p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> Doctor Wiesmann? Captain Franz from 8-Gustav. These are Lieutenant Nowak and the technical-scientific squad of Doctor Schmieder. Please outline the situation briefly but precisely. I will put the radio of 4-Karl, who are going to be here in a few minutes, on hands-free communication.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Good to have you here. So, you see the dome in the room's ceiling? <em>Points at the dome through the reinforced window.</em> Therein is a device of the SKP, a former Nazi-institution for anomalies, which technically is similar to a Scranton Reality Anchor and which we wanted to test. Normally it can be accessed from a room above, but the hatch is locked wherefore we could not blow it up. Our technicians have connected it to these controls and started it. There is nearly no original documentation, we reverse-engineered it as far as possible. When we started it, it began searching the whole electromagnetic spectrum, beginning with long waves and focused on a frequency of hard X-radiation, then a distortion appeared and grew to the portal you see there, which has kept its size. I presumed an imminent invasion and requested O4 to deploy you. One of my engineers is on the way to the device to restart it manually, hoping the search interrupts the portal, while a squad tries to open the hatch, yet unsuccessfully though.</p> <p><em>Visible through SCP-028-DE-C, multiple armed squads of circa 120 men in total have mustered. In front of them, a person in a uniform that looks like an officer's uniform of the Wehrmacht seems to be holding a speech.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> As far as I know you neither are having a reality-expert nor someone familiar with the design of Reality Anchors? I will go to this room with the TS-Squad. I have memorized the floorplan of your facility, we will find the way by ourselves.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> You do that. <em>To Dr. Wiesmann</em> We will take a position in the meantime. O4 has dispatched additional MTFs and considering the enemy's assumed amount and strength, we need everyone who can hold a gun. You will stay here.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz via site intercom:</strong> Captain Franz of 8-Gustav here, to all Reaction- and Security-forces: Set your radio to encrypted channel 54. Should you encounter persons in light grey uniforms, you open fire immediately. But take care of yourself, use cover and change your position.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg via radio:</strong> 4-Karl to 8-Gustav, we're arriving. Let us meet in the lobby to make a plan.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz via radio:</strong> Good, let's meet there. As far as I can see we are running out of time, so make it on the double.</p> <p><em>The MTFs are meeting with Hauptmann Armbruster, the commander of site-security, in the lobby.</em></p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> So, we do not have time, so we make it short. Hauptmann Armbruster, Captain Rüberg, according to Deployment Policy 28-and-so-forth I am taking operation command. All know the site's floor plans and have read the briefing? <em>Short break.</em> Good. The site's Reaction-Forces have secured both entrances of Room Fehu. The armored doors are closed and locked. In the main corridors, barricades and firing positions have been set up. Site-Security is patrolling through the whole facility, in case a secondary portal is opened somewhere, like in incident 1. Two other MTFs are on their way from DE8 by convoy. They are arriving approximately in an hour. One is a heavy infantry platoon of a hundred, the other is an armored unit. If I remember correctly they have some of the new Tactical Power Armors. There is no specific mission plan, as we are unprepared for this threat, so we will improvise. Our mission here is to stop the imminent threat of an invasion, to avert it and to close the portal. Loss of the facility, personnel, and equipment is acceptable. For the first task, 8-Gustav will reinforce the Reaction-Forces at the armored doors. Our Technical-Scientific Squad is working on the last task in Naudis 2. Both 8ers in transfer are responsible to push back possible invaders. 4-Karl, what will you do?</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> We probably would be of use at the armored doors, but we as a commando unit are better suited for counter-invasion. We will stay at the junction of the corridor, leading to both doors. The priority now is to hold up the status quo until the other MTFs arrive. Should the attackers open one door or should they attempt to open both doors, you start a counter-attack from one direction. Divert their attention to you while we are coming from the other side, trying to cross the portal and to destroy whatever technology they are having there. We are carrying explosives with us. Should we be locked in the other world, set up a memorial for us or so.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> Good plan, let's make it so. Everyone to their position! Lieutenant Nowak, you take Squad 2 and go to the right.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz via radio:</strong> Franz to Doctor Schmieder, status?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder via radio:</strong> Schmieder to Franz, we are in Naudis 2, the hatch here appears to be held shut by magnetic locks. The security squad which has been here already is burning a hole in it for half an hour now with a plasma cutter, which proves difficult due to the hatch's concrete filling. I advise against the destruction of the device from below, without having seen it before.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz via radio:</strong> Understood, continue!</p> <p><em>While the squads are taking positions, and Captain Franz is instructing the MTFs in transfer via radio, the first foreign units cross the portal. The officer, who has been holding a speech before, follows the units. He is taking a mobile phone from his pocket and types in a number. The phone in the control room rings. After a pause, Dr. Wiesmann answers.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> Doctor Wiesmann, Site-DE3?</p> <p><strong>Caller:</strong> Good day doctor, this is Major Armbruster of the Waffen-SKP. I know it may not look like it, but actually, we are here for peaceful purposes. Of course, you are having units posted behind the entrances, and probably you have alarmed everybody who can carry a weapon. But before we begin with hostilities, I want to negotiate with you, the site director or someone else who is in charge.</p> <p><em>This Major Armbruster seems to look very similar to Hauptmann Armbruster from Site-DE3's security. Lieutenant Yilmaz is holding up a hastily inscribed note: <tt>“Play for time!”</tt></em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann:</strong> I uh… I am afraid I am not the right person, I… have to talk to O4…</p> <p><strong>Maj. Armbruster:</strong> I am sure you have to. Alone to give your advancing forces some time. Just take all the time you want but do not forget this: You caught us by surprise. This here is the forces we could gather in this short time. But as we talk here, the tank battalion 64 of the Wehrmacht is securing the outer perimeter and several Mobile Einsatzkräfte from Sondereinrichtung-4 and -8 are on their way.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Wiesmann via a secure channel to O4:</strong> Wiesmann to O4, they… are in. Their commander wants to talk to you…</p> <p><em>Short break</em></p> <p><strong>O4-1:</strong> O4-1 here, put me through.</p> <p><em>Doctor Meier patches the call from the phone to the radio unit.</em></p> <p>[SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVEL 3 CONFIRMED, ACCESS GRANTED]</p> <p><strong>O4-1:</strong> This is O4-1.</p> <p><strong>Maj. Armbruster:</strong> O4-1, good day. I am Major Armbruster of the Waffen-SKP. I am not used to your terminology, as you have given us false information during our last contact. Would you be so kind as to describe your position to me?</p> <p><strong>O4-1:</strong> I am the chairman of the Directors' Council of the germanophone branch of the SCP Foundation. You are invaders in our universe, it's too late for cordialities!</p> <p><strong>Maj. Armbruster:</strong> I understand. Is it possible to talk to a higher instance, or is each of your local Foundations autonomous?</p> <p><strong>O4-1:</strong> You are talking only to me.</p> <p><strong>Maj. Armbruster:</strong> Okay then. Well, as you may imagine, we are not here for research, trade or establishment of diplomatic relations. Yes, we will conquer you, that is beyond all question. We are much more technically advanced than you are. But we are no murderers. We do not want war. If you surrender now and hand us over your facility as a base of operations without resistance, lots of bloodshed can be avoided. I am aware that this decision is not an easy one, but I ask you to see the situation pragmatically. You have opened this portal; our invasion is unavoidable. Resistance only leads to suffering and death. I give you 15 minutes to decide.</p> <p><em>Major Armbruster hangs up and gives orders to his units. They begin erecting mobile barricades and firing positions. The MTFs are still 30 minutes away.</em></p> <p><strong>O4-1 via radio:</strong> O4-1 to all forces in Site-DE3. You now are facing the probably most important task of your life: To avert a DK-class invasion-scenario. You are our first, and probably last bastion against a superior enemy. Withstand until reinforcements arrive and fight the enemy back with them! The O4-Council and I are putting all our hope in you.</p> <p>< END OF PROTOCOL ></p> </blockquote> <p>O4-1 informs O5. In an expedited procedure under the consultation of the Ethics Committee, they release an early version of protocol “Ragnarök” as a last resort. O5 commences preparations and instructs O4 to put all close sites under lockdown and to mobilize their MTFs. The team of Dr. Schmieder in Room ᚾ2 has been able to open the hatch in the meantime, and the team as well as Dipl. Ing. Gretenkordt is examining SCP-028-DE-B, which seems to be in some sort of standby mode and does not emit radiation.</p> <p>The following are the events after the expiration of Major Armbruster's ultimatum:</p> <blockquote> <p>< START OF PROTOCOL ></p> <p><em>Major Armbruster is giving orders, whereupon two teams start applying a mass that seems similar to modeling-clay to the armored doors in the form of a rectangle.

Yilmaz via radio:</strong> Lieutenant Yilmaz to 8-Gustav, looks like they are preparing to breach at both armored doors.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz via radio:</strong> Understood. We are opening the left door. 4-Karl, you go to the right! On my mark, Squad 2 charges into the room, You follow, flank them and go through the portal. All forces, prepare yourself! Reinforcements in circa 13 minutes.</p> <p><em>The Reaction Forces are taking position as the left armored door is opening slowly. The troops of the SKP are behind cover. From the control room, a soldier behind the cover can be seen as he prepares a rocket launcher.</em></p> <p><strong>Lt. Yilmaz via radio:</strong> Yilmaz to 8-Gustav, rocket launcher in the middle of the cover.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> Understood. Grenade throwers, prepare a frag volley at the center of the emplacement.</p> <p><em>The armored door has opened so far that firing would be possible. The forces of the SKP are still behind cover. The soldier with the rocket launcher changes the position.</em></p> <p><strong>Lt.

The soldier sets his rifle up a box and aims at Leutnant Yilmaz. Major Armstrong speaks something into his radio, the soldier with the rocket launcher changes position. As Lieutenant Yilmaz lifts the mouthpiece of the radio, the marksman fires one shot which pierces through the reinforced window and explodes in Yilmaz's head. The soldier with the rocket launcher leaves cover and fires the rocket, the Reaction Forces open fire at the emplacement with rifle grenades.</em></p> <p><em>The rocket explodes in the air behind the first cover of the Reaction Forces into a hail of shrapnel. Most of the troops in that position and half of Squad 1 of MTF DE8-𝔊 are killed or wounded. The rifle grenades explode on or behind the enemy position, though do nearly no damage to the barricade. The shrapnels of the grenades exploding behind the barricade are claiming a few victims, but the shrapnels seem not to be able to pierce through the enemy body armor.</em></p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> Switch to HE grenades, MG, suppressive fire!</p> <p><em>While two medics are crawling through the position to get to the wounded, two MG gunners are emplacing their MG5 and maintain fire readiness.</em></p> <p><em>The rocket thrower soldier has reloaded and changed the position.

The rocked thrower soldier is leaving his cover and is immediately fired on by the MGs but manages to fire a second rocket before he collapses wounded. The rocket hits into the concrete ceiling of the corridor in front of the first position and cannot spread its shrapnels as far as the first one. Nonetheless, the medics who have reached the first position and the survivors of the first rocket are being killed and additional are wounded.</em></p> <p><strong>Cpt. Franz:</strong> Grenades, fire!</p> <p><em>The high explosive grenades are having a visibly bigger impact on the barricade of the invaders than the frag grenades.

Armbruster:</strong> You get a last chance. I really want no bloodshed, and I can understand that you do not want to give up. You fear to lose your way of life. You fear, that we bring you a world of war, suppression, and suffering. But do you really think it is so bad in our world? In opposition to yours, our world is at peace since the end of the war in the 50th. No local conflicts which are escalated into regional civil wars by superpowers. No capitalism, no communism. Health, welfare and educational systems that do not only exist by name but are really social. No unemployment. No epidemics. Just peace and wealth for everyone. We do not seek to conquer you, we seek to liberate you. From the yoke of your capital-elitarian suppressors. If you lay down your arms now, I swear to you, no one of you is harmed.</p> <p><em>Captain Franz springs forth and fires a salvo from his assault rifle at Major Armbruster.

Rüberg leaves the detonator near the framework, so possible advancing own troops do not have to search for it and proceed through the open armored door deeper into the facility. They encounter only low resistance, the invaders under the command of Major Armbruster seem to be the Reaction Forces of the site, while remaining and inferior equipped forces seem to be normal security personnel. They quickly reach the control room which is secured by a code lock; the code is the same as in the known reality though. Without hesitating, MTF DE4-𝔎 terminates the guards, Dr. Wiesmann, Dr. Meier, Dipl. Ing. Gretenkordt as well as Lt. Yilmaz who in opposition to the other forces does not wear a light grey but a sand-colored uniform with insignia that appear to be of the Ottoman Empire.</em></p> <p><strong>MTF DE4-𝔎/2:</strong> Dude, how crazy is it that they have the same people here? Do you think we will meet ourselves here?</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> I would rather not. Do the controls tell you anything?</p> <p><strong>MTF DE4-𝔎/2:</strong> No, the fuckers have locked the controls before we shot them. No time to search for passwords.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> Plant a charge and then we proceed to Naudis 2.</p> <p><em>MTF DE4-𝔎/8 plants the charge on the controls and connects it with a second detonator. The MTF proceeds to Naudis 2 and kills the guards.</em></p> <p><strong>MTF DE4-𝔎/3:</strong> Man, shit. The hatch is locked, same as back home!</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> Then place the rest of the charges, maybe it's enough.</p> <p><em>MTF DE4-𝔎/8 places the remaining charges and connects them to the detonator.</em></p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> And off we go! Back to room Fehu. Then we blow their shit up!</p> <p><em>On the way back, MTF DE4-𝔎 runs into a large group of soldiers, seemingly a part of the reinforcements. They pull back into a side corridor, and while the biggest part of the troops proceed to Room ᚠ, a squat halts and follows them into the corridor.</em></p> <p><strong>Rüberg (U-3378-DE):</strong> There they are, 4-Karl follow me! <em>To MTF DE4-𝔎:</em> We are MEK 4-𝔎, let us talk before we shoot each other.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> Seriously? What the hell do you want to talk about?</p> <p><strong>Rüberg (U-3378-DE):</strong> You won't believe it, but even here you do not meet yourself from another universe all day. And as I see you too have the scar from SKP-███ <em>(SCP-███-DE)</em>, just on the other side.</p> <p><strong>Cpt. Rüberg:</strong> Are you shitting me? Man, first you invade our universe as conquerers, and you are coming with romantic shit like “oh - I'm meeting myself from another world - I must gabble instead of shooting”!? Fuck you man!</p> <p><em>Cpt. Rüberg yanks his gun up and shoots his equivalent through the open visor of his helmet. MTF DE4-𝔎 and MEK 4-𝔎 are opening fire upon each other, and thanks to the numerical superiority and better equipment of their opponents, MTF DE4-𝔎 is being eliminated while MEK 4-𝔎 suffers no further casualties.</em></p> <p><em>Through the camera of MTF DE4-𝔎/2 who lays on the floor, a squad in Tactical Power Armor can be seen, walking past the corridor towards Room ᚠ.</em></p> <p>< END OF PROTOCOL ></p> </blockquote> <p>Around the time as MTF DE4-𝔎 enters the control room in U-3378-DE, the reinforcements in form of MTF DE8-𝔅 and -ℭ arrive. MTF DE8-𝔅 is a heavy infantry unit of around 100 men with body armor and squads with ballistic shields. MTF DE8-ℭ is an armored unit with three armored vehicles with autocannons, a truck with a 105 mm cannon hidden on its load bed, as well as a squad equipped with the newly introduced Tactical Power Armor, it's supply squad and supporting heavy infantry.</p> <p>The following is a transcript of the recordings from room ᚾ2, in which the technical-scientific squad of MTF DE8-𝔊 is working, at the time the ultimatum of Major Armbruster is running out (15 minutes before the reinforcements arrive):</p> <blockquote> <p>< START OF PROTOCOL ></p> <p><em>In room ᚾ2, there are the technical-scientific squad of MTF DE8-𝔊 led by Dr. Schmieder, Dipl. Ing. Gretenkordt and a team of guards of Site-DE3. The squad has opened the hatch in the floor and Dr. Schmieder, Dipl. Ing. Gretenkordt as well as two other members of the technical-scientific squad have entered the low room and are examining SCP-028-DE-B.</em></p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> So, do you have a clue what that thing is, Doctor Reality?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> How dare you!</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> Sorry. Doctor Schmieder.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> Better… To answer your question, yes, I have. Your original assumption that this is some sort of early Scranton Reality Anchor is correct in general, but to be more precise it is only working like an SRA. To make it short, there is a measure for reality, the Hume. The reality usually is around 20 Hm. The more hume, the more stable the reality. The abilities of reality benders are usually based on changing the measure of reality in themselves or their surroundings, and to change the reality according to their will. SRAs are machines that add or remove reality from dead or empty universes, to create fields of stable reality, usually at about 20 Hm. This device here is working similarly, but it also is an interareal transmitter. The dome seems to be the cover of a parabolic dish, with which the device is focussing its effect on one point.</p> <p><em>Noise of battle can be heard from Room ᚠ.</em></p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> Ok, but do you have an idea if we can use it?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> That depends on whether my assumption about how it works is correct. I assume that it starts with a search for the right frequency, which is why it has covered the whole electromagnetic spectrum. To be able to send intrareal, it probably has created a minimally small zone of extremely low reality in a defined point, through which the radiation can leave our universe and enter another universe with a similar zone of extremely low reality within reach, to establish communication. I assume it was originally built to send aimlessly into the “intrareal space”, as like we are sending messages aimlessly into space to see if someone answers. In the universe now standing wide open down there, they probably have built the same device which has still been in operation. They must have known that we exist and maybe just have waited for us to send. Then they have sent a signal back and this device has enlarged the zone of low reality in synchronization with theirs. They must have another apparatus there to stabilize the low-reality zone into a portal.</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> Do you think this device can raise the reality instead of lowering it?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> Yes I do, and I think that is our only chance to end this. And as this old device does not have digital controls, it should be enough to rewire it a bit.</p> <p><em>It takes approximately 20 minutes to make the modifications. The reinforcements have arrived on both sides and are engaged in a fierce battle. The SKP is using it's Tactical Power Armor to secure Room ᚠ while those of the Foundation and the troops in front of them with ballistic shields are forming moveable barricades in the corridors and are supporting the troops with their heavy weapons. Thanks to the nano-coated armor of the Tactical Power Armor, they are extremely well protected against fire from most weapons.</em></p> <p><em>As the troops of the SKP are pushed back to Room ᚠ, a firefight between the Power Armored squads of both sides breaks loose, which seems to be coequal, though the battle involves heavy losses among the infantry. From SCP-028-DE-C, more troops of the SKP push through while troops of the Foundation are advancing from the corridors. More MTFs and Reaction Forces from close facilities are on their way to Site-DE3. The early version of protocol “Ragnarök” is ready for execution.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder via radio:</strong> This is Doctor Schmieder of MTF DE8-Gustav to mission control; come in, please!</p> <p><strong>Mission control via radio:</strong> This is Major Peters, mission control. You are the reality expert, right?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder via radio:</strong> Correct, Major, I think we have a chance to destabilize the portal, but there must be a machine or device on the other side, holding the portal open. Let your troops search and destroy it!</p> <p><strong>Mission control via radio:</strong> There is something, indeed. Some sort of framework around the portal. Is that what you mean?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder via radio:</strong> That is hard to say without having seen it, but in absence of options I have to say yes. Have it destroyed.</p> <p><em>From the transmission of MTF DE4-𝔎 it is known that there have been charges planted on the framework and that the detonator may still be laying there. The Tactical Power Armor squad is ordered to recover the detonator, to detonate the charges without detonator or to destroy the devices with their heavy weapons.</em></p> <p><em>The Tactical Power Armor squad manages to advance through the portal, followed by the Power Armors of the SKP. The detonator is nowhere to be found, and the charges have been removed, though they are still in a crate in the room. The troops of the Foundation can move the crate with the charges to the middle of the room and detonate it with direct fire.</em></p> <p><em>The machinery around SCP-028-DE-C is damaged and breaks down. However, the portal does not collapse but it “bursts” and suddenly expands to a diameter of ca. Ø50 m. It does not seem to have a defined “hull” and appears to taper off gradually. Within the affected zone, the reality seems to be undefined. Personnel reports, that both realities are perceived alternating and that the perception can change after blinking or a fast turn. All personnel in the affected zone seem to exist in both universes at the same time and are visible on all cameras (some live-feeds from cameras of the SKP can be recorded now due to overlapping cables). In opposition, inanimate objects apparently stay in “their” universes. Electromagnetic signals appear to exist in both realities.</em></p> <p><em>Guards of the SKP appear in Room ᚾ2 and are overpowered. Everywhere in the corridors personnel of the SKP appears, and heavy fights break loose.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> <em>Is visibly startled.</em> What the hell… where does that control board come from?</p> <p><em>Dr. Schmieder’s shoulder camera is in the normal universe and no control board is visible.</em></p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> What control board?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> Wait, you do not see a control board there?</p> <p><strong>Gretenkordt:</strong> No!? Doctor, what is going on? And where did those guys come from?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder:</strong> You are asking questions… if I interpret the boom-sound correctly, the MTFs have blown something up and I would assume it was the portal stabilizing device. I do not know how it works, but I think we are inside the portal. Without the stabilization, both universes seem to exist coincidentally. We are now threatened by a Universe-conjunction, multiple universes merging to one, and therewith a permanent transition, or a hole that devours both universes. Both are to be prevented, so I suggest we start the device here and hope it reestablishes reality.</p> <p><em>Dr. Schmieder is starting up SCP-028-DE-B. It begins searching.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Schmieder via radio:</strong> Schmieder to mission control, I highly advise to protect the device in Naudis 2 with utmost priority!

I cannot guarantee that my theory works, but I do not have a better one. I assume you always are existing in the universe you are seeing. At least that would explain the function of a spatial portal. When the boundary of the anomaly is approaching you, blink before it reaches you until you see the desired reality. Keep your eyes open as long as possible and avoid all movement. The boundary of the anomaly is fluxionary; you will not notice when you are through. If you manage to blink in the wrong moment, you might be facing much more dire consequences than “just” ending up in the wrong universe: Eternal agony in the void between the worlds.</p> <p><em>The anomaly is contracting and seems to be closing at last.</em></p> <p>< END OF PROTOCOL ></p> </blockquote> <p>Most troops managed to return to “their” universe, though █ members of the SKP remained and were arrested for thorough questioning.

It was dismantled and is now stored on Site-DE██. According to analyses the device which was removed from the framework around SCP-028-DE-C and had been thrown through it by MTF DE4-𝔎, belongs to a cluster of emitters similar to Scranton Reality Buoys, that generate a spherical field to stabilize SCP-028-DE-C. They are compressing the portal until it takes a spherical form with a “stable” outer hull, similar to a gas that is liquified by pressure.</p> <p>SCP-028-DE-C has been closed but did not disappear.

Some notable excerpts from this diary are quoted below:</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p>March 25th 1853, the Squadron reached Singapore. According to plan, we will be traveling to Japan in order to execute some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Expedition">"public relation operations"</a> towards the end of this year. After getting approval from Commodore Perry, I started to work on the secret mission given to me by my Unit, acting as commander of a small ship which separated from the convoy and headed to Cochinchine<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> to investigate an <a class="newpage" href="/nx-59-vn">anomalous community</a> there. The Commodore will do his best to delay the journey, so that we can catch up with the Squadron timely in Hong Kong at the end of April.</p> <p>[…] These people are friendlier than I thought, which is different from populated anomalous sites in the West. The population primarily consists of Annamite and Chinese, mostly possessing no anomalous abilities, and are mainly families of magicians with knowledge of thaumaturgy. This place, with its spatial anomalous properties, has turned itself into an ideal haven for people like them, during a time when both the Nguyễn and the Qing dynasties display hostility to magic wielders.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-center" style="width:100%;"><img alt="Gasshukoku_suishi_teitoku_k%C5%8Dj%C5%8Dgaki_%28Oral_statement_by_the_American_Navy_admiral%29.png" class="image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Gasshukoku_suishi_teitoku_k%C5%8Dj%C5%8Dgaki_%28Oral_statement_by_the_American_Navy_admiral%29.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Japanese wood carving artwork portraying Commodore Matthew C.

The Commodore has kept the whole convoy in place for three weeks, solely in order to wait for me to come back.</p> <p>[…] Most of the artifacts that I gathered in Cochinchine are books; time was sparse, so I have decided to take along whatever contains the largest amount of knowledge. These books are full of strange-looking scripts unknown to me, and all contain various native magic spells. The only excerpt whose meanings we can deduce writes about a magical elixir that helps people recall their memories, regardless of how they have lost them. At the moment, I have no intention to prepare this remedy; there might be lots of work coming up in Japan, so this is where I will put an end to my secret mission.</p> <p>[…] Anyways, the main ingredient for this elixir is a native oriental flora with quite a strange name, “the flower from the other side”. This flower is quite common in Japan, so I might also take some instances back with me to the States.

I respect your choice, and it was all I could do to help make your upcoming voyage smoother. I hope what I wrote above can help you find a temporary job on Messageries Maritimes Company’s ocean liner. You can serve as a doctor for their sailors during your journey to the East.</p> <p>Finally, I will do what I must, to grant you what you have long deserved, the title of Gentlemen.</p> <p>I pray that you will find your purpose in life in the distant Indochina.</p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p>— <em>Gentlemen Louis Pasteur</em> —</p> </div> </div> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>(Excerpt from a letter from POI-220963 to his mother in 1891, after opening a clinic in Nha Trang.)</em></p> <p>[…] Annamite patients everywhere flock to my clinic when I don’t have businesses elsewhere.

But don’t we seem to care more about life after death than life before we were born, and rarely ponder on what we used to be?</p> <p>My entire life was spent studying life, yet I have never had such a profound understanding of death.

Since death is inevitable, perhaps he wanted to experience that miraculous feeling once, or maybe he wanted to make the final contribution to his instructor’s research.</p> <p>[…] He kept reciting his life, from his happiest memories to his worst, like the two times he heard the news that his uncle and cousin were to be exiled overseas.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-14" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-14')">14</a></sup> It was easily understandable as he grew up receiving a Confucian education focusing on loyalty and family relations.</p> <p>Gazing into his eyes, it was as if I was immersed in the storytelling, as if I was standing in an old palace in Huế. He was kneeling before an altar in preparation to receive an edict from the Emperor being held captive in the Imperial City. Even if it holds no true power, at least the Empire can still hold the simplest of ceremony. It seemed that day was the day he felt the most honorable.</p> <p>[…] After hearing his cousins talking about the luxurious pleasures of the higher class in Paris they got to experience, his idea of studying abroad was abandoned. Of course, they would never teach any helpful knowledge to an Annamite prince, all they want is to drown that rotten imperial family in drug abuse and self-indulgence. That day, he decided to travel from Huế to Hà Nội to seek the knowledge he wanted.</p> <p>[…] And in a brief moment, his eyes seemed to shine a strange light. He abruptly switched to speak English:</p> <p>"How miraculous, how miraculous, my dear master. I have finally understood. I was an American on the other side of the globe. I was born on this land because I had been here. I met you and conducted research into this flower, because I had sought it before. How simple, how very simple everything is.”</p> <p>Then he suddenly fell silent with his eyes closed, as if he was savoring creation’s deepest secrets. Afterwards, he opened his eyes to look at me and averted his gaze to a distant land.</p> <p>"So that’s how it will be." - He said before taking his final breath.</p> </div> <div class="blockquote"> <p><em>(Excerpt from POI-220963’s personal diary in December of 1928.)</em></p> <p>Another member of the Pasteur Institute won the Nobel prize, the fourth one.

The war has spread to the point of no return. So I find myself admiring the opponents across the English Channel. At least they are willing to fight to the end on the seas, the shores, the fields, the streets, the hills without any thoughts about surrendering.</p> <p>[…] As I witnessed countless inventions of the Pasteur Institute being utilised as biological weapons, for the first time I had to question the advancement of science, and it was also the first time my belief in the Neo Enlightenment movement wavered this much.

As a temporary containment measure, the object can be held in a smaller enclosure, as it is mostly immobile; about two times a month, it is active between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am.</p> <p>Level 3 personnel may access SCP-032-IT’s containment cell. Any researcher who would like to talk with SCP-032-IT is required to be fluent in either ancient Latin, Etruscan or ancient Greek; alternatively, it is possible to use an Anderson-Sumire Mk-II neural interpreter<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p> <p>An armed guard must always escort SCP-032-IT when it is transported to X-ray rooms for analysis; this is only a precaution, since SCP-032-IT is usually very cooperative, despite trying to probe those who interact with it with its appendices.</p> <p>If SCP-032-IT issues requests for obtaining raw materials, these requests are to be forwarded to Dr. Bellini or, in his absence, to the Site Director. These requests are to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but are generally satisfied; in this case, the raw materials needed by SCP-032-IT are to be collected in Storehouse M-12.</p> <p>Any and all personnel requiring physical contact with SCP-032-IT must wear protective rubber gloves, as to prevent cutaneous sebum from ruining SCP-032-IT’s bronze surface over time.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Note</strong><br/> <em>Any offer from SCP-032-IT’s behalf to foresee future events <span style="text-decoration: underline;">is to be refused, with no exceptions</span>; SCP-032-IT shows no sign of understanding how painful the procedure is and, despite not having ill intent, it will stab you before you know it.</em><br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p><em>–Dr. Bellini</em></p> </div> </blockquote> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-032-IT is a bronze statue with an opaque green color. It resembles a young human male with an athletic physique, with facial lineaments similar to those of the Greek-roman sculpting technique; it wears a short <em>toga</em>.</p> <p>SCP-032-IT’s joints are articulated, thus allowing movement. The object shows a paraskeletric tubular structure, with universal joints that allow a wide array of fine movements, even in the fingers, thus closely resembling human movement. SCP-032-IT is capable of autonomous movement perceived by observers as “very natural”, and is also capable of articulating human speech, making it able to sustain a meaningful conversation.</p> <p>SCP-032-IT is self-conscious and, besides the aforementioned languages, is not able to learn new means of communication; it is nonetheless able to learn new concepts and definitions with the same cognitive skills as an average adult human.</p> <p>Similarly to a regular bronze statue, SCP-032-IT is hollow; however, its insides are not empty, as they house both the aforementioned tubular structure, and a complex system of interconnected gears the constructive technology of which is compatible with that of ancient machines. It is noteworthy that the mechanical section KY94, located in the anterior thoracic region, has a 98% match with the architecture of the Antikytera Mechanism. This whole apparatus allows SCP-032-IT to actuate the fine movements of its limbs; however, how these movements are achieved in the first place is yet to be understood, as its structure makes it nothing more than a complex audio-animatronic, as observable by the structural chart reconstructed based on 3D X-ray analysis of the object.</p> <p>If damaged, SCP-032-IT is able to revert itself to its original shape via a self-repairing process similar to biological wound regeneration; the process, however, is significantly slower by around 8 times when compared to the normal scarring process of a human being. SCP-032-IT is able to achieve this regeneration even after having lost most of its initial mass, including the internal machinery; however, SCP-032-IT is no longer able to fully recover the damages on its outer surface following the prolonged stay on the oceanic floor (see <a href="#recovery-log">Recovery Log</a> for details).</p> <p>SCP-032-IT has no need for sustenance. If the object needs repairs, though, it may require small bronze fragments (no bigger than 5 cm<sup>3</sup>) to ingest; these fragments end up in a metallic sack in the abdominal area. Using photoemission spectroscopy, it has been discovered that these fragments are slowly absorbed into the sack’s walls with a rate of approximately 0.78 g/day; the sack itself, for the duration of the phenomenon, has a temperature of 2±0.1 ºC higher than the surrounding materials.</p> <p>When questioned regarding its identity, SCP-032-IT maintains its name to be Spurinna and to be a haruspex. It further states that it is “under the new sky” since the year 790 BCE, although being created at least 900 years before that. When questioned on the meaning of “new sky”, the objects state that it has noticed not to be in its “original place”, although this one is very similar; it further states that, under the new sky, it has not yet found any haruspex or augur similar to itself.</p> <hr/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">► Update 21/02/2017 (Retractable appendages \| Foretellings)</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▼ Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Update 21/02/2017</strong><br/> SCP-032-IT is noted to possess long appendages with circular sections, approximately 7 mm in diameter and with pointed ends, completely retractable, and articulated in 5 different points for a total length of 28 cm that, when retracted, are completely hidden from sight inside the outer surface of the object. These appendages are located above the interdigital membranes – for a total of four appendages for each hand – and on the head, respectively in the tear canals, the auditory canal, and the lambdoid suture – for a total of 6 cranial appendages.</p> <p>SCP-032-IT uses such appendages to penetrate the flesh of human or animal subjects and perceive the morphological properties of the internal organs, specifically the liver and sometimes the small intestine, mesentery and large intestine. This operation is carried by the appendages of one or both hands; the function of the cranial appendages is unknown, even though the structural resemblance seems to suggest a similar use. When questioned about this, SCP-032-IT explains that it is able to extend them by its will, but that they “function on their own, when necessary”.</p> <p>SCP-032-IT is able to predict future events regarding a living subject, be it human or animal, that possesses a hepatic and intestinal apparatus, with the following procedure:</p> <ul> <li>once a living subject is chosen, a question may be asked to SCP-032-IT regarding a future event or a present one that is unknown to the subject itself;</li> <li>SCP-032-IT uses its appendages to probe the internal organ of the subject;</li> <li>once the appendages are extracted from the subject, SCP-032-IT is able to answer the question.</li> </ul> <p>The questions need to be asked by a third party when the subject is an animal, but can also be asked by an external entity in the case of human.</p> <p>The procedure that SCP-032-IT uses in order to probe the internal organs of the subject is usually painful for the subject (if not anesthetized), but not lethal. Usually, the resulting wounds heal in about one month; additional antibiotic treatment is advised, to avoid infection.</p> <p>SCP-032-IT’s predictions are generally very in-depth; for more details, see the <a href="#interviews">Interviews</a>.</p> </div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▼ Close</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">► Update 10/05/2017 (Prime mover \| Parasitic currents)</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▼ Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Update 10/05/2017</strong><br/> Subsequent analysis via CT and dosimetry revealed that the impurities present in the mechanical components of SCP-032-IT are able to move through it, causing topical imbalances of density and weight; this may bring a gear to begin spinning on its own due to gravitational pull alone. The sum of this internal weight and density shifts is the prime mover of SCP-032-IT; the rest is accomplished via normal mechanical interaction between components.

All sections not directly pertaining SCP-032-IT have been redacted.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>21/09/2015</strong><br/> <em>Today the Museum received an exceptional item. It is a bronze statue, probably from the 1st century before Christ; it is almost completely engulfed in marine incrustation, but from the little that emerges, it is of excellent making. It has slept a while under the sea… but soon, everyone will be able to admire it once again.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>03/11/2015</strong><br/> <em>We’ve finally completed the explorative removal of the sea debris. What is inside is incredible… a maze of machinery and paraphernalia! This was an automaton, probably of Greek making. This may have the same repercussions of the Riace Bronzes.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>18/02/2016</strong><br/> <em>I’m speechless, along with the new curator of the Etruscan section. This is no Greek; this automaton comes from some lost civilization that has never given us anything quite like this… and what about the gears? They’re everywhere! It’s jointed in every possible point, even in the fingers of the hands and feet! This is so much more than a Riace Bronze, ten times as much! It’s a real shame that barely half of it remains… the millennia spent under the sea were not kind to it.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>01/04/2016</strong><br/> <em>We’re out of funds. I was hoping in some kind of “April’s Fools!”, but no, it’s just the harsh reality of public spending in Arts. Wait for me, brazen young man, we’ll meet again when the golden purses flow again.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>21/07/2016</strong><br/> <em>Still no luck for those funds destined to the Bagnoli automaton, and that beautiful artifact is rotting in the warehouse. What a shame.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>30/09/2016</strong><br/> <em>Finally, new funds for the restorations. I even forgot where it’s stored… no matter, I’ll find it, even at the cost of turning the whole Museum upside down!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>01/10/2016</strong><br/> <em>What kind of behavior is this? Such disorganization, I can’t believe it! First, the bureau gives us no money to work with, then it throws them away by assigning two different people for the same job!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>02/10/2016</strong><br/> <em>No one knows a thing. I really cannot understand. I want to further examine the automaton, tomorrow, but there is no other explanation.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>03/10/2016</strong><br/> <em>No one gave the authorization, there is no one else assigned to this project. I’m baffled. Someone must have worked on the Bagnoli automaton in the last few months. The automaton is nearly complete! And what a remarkable job at that, truly excellent. I examined the added components, but… I cannot tell where the original ends and where the new material begins!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>07/10/2016</strong><br/> <em>The Bagnoli automaton is now an obsession for me. The outside surface is not perfect, but the inside… it looks as if <span style="text-decoration: underline;">new</span>! It’s incredible! Whoever made this must be a peerless professional… but no one knows a thing!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>08/10/2016</strong><br/> <em>Oh well, I’ll take full merit for this. I mean, the automaton is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">beautiful</span>. I tried to manually spin a couple gears and… it moves the hand in such a natural way… I now realize that the genius of the ancient ones must be a world still unbeknownst to us.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>09/10/2016</strong><br/> <em>I need to make an urgent restoration of an ushabti for the Egyptian section. It seems I’ll need to dedicate myself to this for a while.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>29/11/2016</strong><br/> <em>I’m either getting crazy or someone is playing a bad joke on me. Today I walked in the storeroom and the automaton was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">completely whole</span>! What the hell is going on? And a work of an unseen finesse, at that…</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>30/11/2016</strong><br/> <em>It was my second guess, after all, yes: today someone made it stand up, and I found it that way. Very funny. I’ll find you, you idiots.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>04/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>Actually, never mind, it was the first guess: I’m getting crazy. Today the automaton talked. It talked. IT TALKED.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>05/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>"Quæstio". That’s a “question”, right? What should I ask it?</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>06/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>Ouch, that hurt. But what an incredible experience. Incredible. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">INCREDIBLE</span>. I’ll be famous! So why did the automaton tell me everything will come back to normal, instead? It’s impossible!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>07/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>Those strange individuals going around the Museum, asking questions… they aren’t after the automaton, are they?</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>08/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>They can’t have it… it must be at everyone’s disposal! It’s too incredible not to be!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>09/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>YOU’LL NEVER HAVE IT! Curses on you!</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>12/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>I’ve been in bed for three days straight now, with the worst of headaches. Huh. I’m so confused I don’t even remember what I’ve been doing in the last year. As if it never existed in the first place. Well, the doctor said my memory will come back soon. As for these scars on my belly… I must have been doing quite the parties, h? I even lost my old diary.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>15/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>Must be some kind of virus, everyone at the Museum has become even more forgetful than I am. Well, company in distress makes trouble less, I guess. Of course, if we keep going like this, working is impossible. I reckon we’ll be back to closing a couple sections for a few months, again.</em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>17/12/2016</strong><br/> <em>Actually, who was that doctor, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">anyway</span>?</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong><end file></strong></p> </div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▼ Close file</a></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <p><a name="interviews"></a><strong>Interviews</strong><br/> This section contains the interviews carried out with SCP-032-IT.<br/> <em>Note: the following transcriptions have been translated from classical Latin.</em></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">► File: Transcription 032-IT-01 (Interview with Dr. Bellini #1).log</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▼ Close file</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="display: inline-block; border-radius: 10px; border:dashed 1px #444444; background:#F5F5F5; float:top; width:96.5%; padding:10px"> <p><strong><begin file></strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> Good morning, SCP-032-IT</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> Ave to you, <em>doctor</em>.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> What is your name?</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> My name is <em>Spurinna</em>.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> Fine… however, I’ll call you SCP-032-IT.</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> That sounds complicated, but do as your heart desires.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> What is your purpose?</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> I am a <em>haruspex</em>.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> You predict the future?</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> That is correct.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> How?</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> By reading insides.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bellini:</strong> Could you read my future?</p> <p><strong>SCP-032-IT:</strong> No doubt.

Manchi:</strong> What kind of effect?</p> <p><strong>Mr. Panicucci:</strong> I was probably influenced by what the patient said… it's probably a hysteric reaction I am having.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Can you elaborate?</p> <p><strong>Mr. Panicucci:</strong> The vibration of my phone… It bothers me now, to the point of discomfort… The vibration "expands" into my head, somehow.

The containment wing is under the jurisdiction of Site-8120. When inside the containment wing, personnel are advised to never look inside SCP-040-JP. If it is needed to look inside SCP-040-JP, it should be done through the camera and not directly with the naked eye. If it is necessary to have a direct view, it is advised to use D-class personnel. Communication with personnel who have been exposed to SCP-040-JP is forbidden.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-040-JP is a well located in the village of █████, in the ██████ prefecture. It is surrounded by a wooden hut, measuring approximately 5 m wide and 4 m long. The center of the hut houses a stone well presumed to have been built in ancient times, which descends directly underground. The well is anomalously deep and multiple probes have failed to determine its depth.</p> <p>Although the hut was originally locked tightly with iron chains and multiple padlocks, they have since broken due to deterioration.

This effect is not apparent in drawings or images; it only occurs when a person views the inside of the cabin with the naked eye. A camera image only displays the inside of the hut with no sign of the reported cats.</p> <p>Exposure to the object will distort the subject's perception of all domestic cats (scientific name: <em>Felis silvestris catus</em>). During interviews with exposed subjects, they reported that any domestic cat seemed to look like an animal with two human eyes on its face without hair or other features, staring at them directly when viewed from any direction.</p> <p>Furthermore, the exposed subjects will begin to report that the cat is constantly appearing in the darkness to observe them.

In other words, the sightings occur statistically significantly higher in the subject's peripheral vision. This property was demonstrated during experimentation with D-Class in 19██. According to the hypothesis proposed by [REDACTED], it is speculated that the dark places in the large depths of the underground structure inside SCP-040-JP have a clear influence on this.</p> <p>[DATA EXPUNGED]</p> <p>Subjects exposed to SCP-040-JP will actively tell others about the idea that "there is a cat".

There are no particular restrictions on the medium necessary to convey that idea, and it is effective even in all media such as speech, writing, images, and paintings. Therefore, it is speculated that the subjects themselves are not directly affected, but carry a memetic anomaly (refer to document [REDACTED]). It was there.

A 0.6-meter rope has been fitted to SCP-042-INT with an adjustable loop on the free end that allows it to be tethered to an object. Based on recovered documents the addition of the tether appears to have been an afterthought.</p> <p>Utilizing Technothaumaturgy<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> it is capable of provoking discontinuous spatial dislocation<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> of its user or other objects with a vocal command. This command contains the targets of the dislocation and the designated coordinates of the final destination. Still, if the user is not an experienced thaumaturge, these can be entered on the device's control panel. Upon activation, the spherical housing will open and release a burst of Thaumic energy that catalyzes the reaction necessary to dislocate the target.</p> <p>The anomalous means through which this is achieved are mostly understood.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p>Using a combination of thaumaturgic processes, the object is capable of creating a one-way relationship between the target's position in space and the energy level of a single isolated electron within the device.</p> <p>Through this one-way relationship, discontinuities experienced by the electron translate into discontinuities in the wearer's position, effectively 'jumping' through space or 'teleporting'.</p> <p>The means of controlling the destination of these 'jumps' are poorly understood due to the lack of information acquired on this aspect. However, from what we gathered, the device appears capable of moving a subject anywhere on Earth.</p> <p>— Dr. Cezar</p> </div> <p>A secondary effect of the anomaly is that the displacement of an object through this method results in damage to the fabric of spacetime. The current standing theory states that this occurs due to the creation of "voids" where the wearer (and the volume of spacetime they occupied) are removed. In appearance, they resemble areas of star-filled space. These have been designated as SCP-042-INT-A instances.</p> <p>Analysis of SCP-042-INT-A instances reveals them to be a form of traversable wormhole through which matter can pass through either side of the "void". Each instance of SCP-042-INT-A connects to one singular universe. Which of these they connect to appears to be random and there is no way of knowing where a subject will end up unless they pass through an instance of SCP-042-INT-A. One can return to their home universe by returning through the void in which they came.</p> <p>The amount and size of SCP-042-INT-A instances created through the use of SCP-042-INT is variable but appear to increase the more the device is used. This poses a danger to consensus reality as potentially dangerous anomalies can pass through to our universe. Secondly, larger and larger instances of SCP-042-INT-A destabilize the fabric of spacetime which left unchecked would lead to a cascading effect that would cause an Öß-Class 'Multi-Universal Amalgamation' scenario.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-4" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-4')">4</a></sup></p> <p><strong>History:</strong> On July 6th, 2022 Site PT4 was informed by a contact within GoI-2333, known as "Rigger" who alerted personnel of a potentially dangerous anomalous artefact of Thaumaturgic origin being constructed by Alfonso Anderson, now designated as "PoI-9029". Foundation webcrawlers subsequently found posts on websites that operated under the Veil such as Void about the object, here referred to as SCP-042-INT. These posts were subsequently removed to keep awareness of the anomaly's existence to a minimum.</p> <p>"Rigger" was then brought to Site PT4 for questioning on PoI-9029's location and his history with the anomaly.</p> <p>- <strong>Interview 042-INT/1:</strong></p> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Dr. Cezar<br/> <strong>Interviewed:</strong> ████ "Rigger" ███████<br/> <strong>Note:</strong> Interview conducted in Portuguese. Translated for ease of comprehension.</p> <hr/> <p><em><Start Log></em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Good evening… "Rigger"? Is that correct?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Yeah, Rigger. You got it in one.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Thank you for your cooperation. Given the urgency you expressed, we arranged this meeting as fast as we could. Now, could you state why you contacted us, just so we can have it on record?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Sure. I called because I was concerned about Alfonso. Still am. He's a novice messing with stuff he doesn't understand, and from what he's posted, it seems it already came to bite him in the ass. I'm hoping that you can help.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Could you tell me a little more about them?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Sure, Alfonso came on to the scene… oh, about a year ago. He made a lot of noise but never quite got the recognition he was looking for in the Technothaumaturge space.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> If he wasn't highly recognized, why did you get involved with him?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> I thought he had heart, always had these big ideas; would talk about changing the world. I figured if I showed him the ropes, he might be able to make one of them come true.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> And I take it one of these ideas is the reason why we're here.</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Well, yes. He's stubborn. Kept insisting on doing things his way, even when I told him otherwise. And when he started getting results, that's when he <em>really</em> wouldn't listen to me, even when there started to be… unintended effects.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Would you care to elaborte? What exactly did he do? What happened?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> OK, so he built a teleporter. However, instead of doing it the "old-fashioned" way, apparating, he wanted to innovate. Something about "new frontiers being pushed". Can't blame him for being excited. I <em>can</em> blame him for being careless though. Basically, he tied the discrete quantization of an electron's energy to an object's position, making it so it could "leap", discontinuously, from one place to another. Little did he know he was ripping space apart as he did so.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> 'Ripping space apart?'</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Well, that's the best I can describe it. He sent pictures. Black tendrils floating in the air, what I assume to be gashes in the fabric of the universe, left where the teleported object once was. It was enough for me to know something was off, and to tell him to stop. But as of now, that's not my biggest concern.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> What would that be, then?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Eventually he got confident enough to try teleporting himself, despite my protests. An object larger and more delicate than anything he'd tried before. The gash left was equally large. Large enough that something came out of it.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> A creature?</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> I think so. He ran away and locked it in the room. Boarded up the door, too. He was scared and didn't know what to do. He called me and explained what was going on. Right then I knew I had to reach out to you guys, even if the idea mortified him.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Understood. We will take the appropriate measures to ensure proper containment of these anomalies. Once again, thank you for your cooperation.</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Doctor, may I ask something of you?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Of course.</p> <p><strong>Rigger:</strong> Just please don't hurt him. I called because I just wanted to help him. To make him stop doing this, when it can harm him and others.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Cezar:</strong> Don't worry. We have no intention of hurting your friend.</p> <p><em><End Log></em></p> </div> <p>Four members of MTF PT4-39 were deployed in a recovery operation. On 16/7/2022, 0300 hours, officers infiltrated PoI-9029's residence to secure SCP-042-PT and PoI-9029 as well as assess the alleged damages to spacetime and the entity mentioned by "Rigger".</p> <p>Upon entry, PoI-9029 was located and quickly became agitated. The subject refused to cooperate and fled with MTF operatives in pursuit. Their pursuit led them to a bedroom where PoI-9029 was turning on SCP-042-INT. The subject was instructed to stand down and remove the object, after which he verbally attacked the officers, activated the device, and disappeared.</p> <p>Following the subject's disappearance, damages to spacetime were observed, in the form of three-dimensional voids in space, designated as instances of SCP-042-INT-A. Two operatives remained in the bedroom, watching for potential foreign entities, while the remaining two explored the house further.</p> <p>Inside a boarded-up door in the house was a workshop containing 17 instances of SCP-042-INT-A similar to the ones previously identified. Inside, an entity resembling a shark attacked the operatives located there. In the ensuing combat, one operative was injured, and the creature was subdued through blunt trauma.</p> <p>Thaumaturgic specialists assigned to the task force mended the SCP-042-INT-A instances through the use of spacetime thaumaturgy. No further developments have been observed, and the location has been deemed non-anomalous.</p> <p>A logbook was found among the objects in PoI-9029's residence. The following are some excerpts relevant to SCP-042-INT:</p> <p>- <strong>Document 042-INT/1:</strong></p> <div class="page"> <p><strong>Idea collection:</strong><br/> - Electric/Thaumic Energy Storage<br/> - Non-Chemical Fertilizer<br/> - Dimensional Shelter (deployable and permanent)<br/> - <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Water Purification Alchemy</span><br/> - <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Electron Teleporting</span></p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><strong>Electron Teleporting Project:</strong><br/> <br/> - Observation: Teleporting or apparating is a thaumaturgic system that concerns itself with the displacement of matter through the use of spellcraft, replicating the mystery<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-5" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-5')">5</a></sup> of translocation. Spells are notoriously resource-intensive and heavily dependent on the caster's competence, thus, alternative means of apparating are sought after.<br/> <br/> One can normally think of an object's position throughout time as a continuous function. Apparating would present a discontinuity in this function. In classical physics, discontinuities are entirely absent, or simply approximations (such as in the case of collisions). Were one to consider more modern physics, however, the concept of quanta, discretization, and true examples of discontinuities arise. If it were possible to tie a macroscopic variable to a discretely changing one, a new mode of teleportation would be possible.<br/> <br/> - Justification: More accessible teleportation would present a great benefit to logistics and transportation worldwide. Adjacent problems such as pollution and cargo loss would also be addressed.<br/> <br/> - Objectives: To develop a device capable of apparating objects or users without the use of traditional spells, instead utilizing alternative thaumaturgical and normal technological means to achieve the same objective. More specifically, the discontinuity in the energy level of an electron being excited would in turn cause a discontinuity in the target's position.<br/> <br/> - Roadmap:<br/> - Theory Study ✓<br/> - Design ✓<br/> - Acquisition of Materials ✓<br/> - Trials<br/> - Public Release</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p>There appears to be a problem with the method I have chosen.<br/> <br/> The excitation of the electrons in the LED is momentary. There is not one discontinuity, but two: one when they are excited, and one when they relax. This presents a problem if you only want to displace yourself in one direction and not back.<br/> <br/> In other words, the old maxim of "What goes up, must come down" is presenting a problem. Now, a way of dodging this issue would be with a very large redesign.<br/> <br/> The issue could be solved by playing with the law of sympathy<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> a bit more. While "once together, always together" is a true statement, it doesn't mean that the bond must always carry the same relevance. What I'm saying is that we can have the position and the energy level be tied on the electron's way up, but have them be independent once the electron is on its way down.<br/> <br/> How does one achieve this, considering we are talking of minuscule intervals of time here between excitation and relaxing? Through two means: phosphorescence and chronomancy.<br/> <br/> Phosphorescence is a natural phenomenon where excited electrons do not immediately relax to a lower energy level, due to a "forbidden" transition in energy. This is the basis for "glow-in-the-dark" tech, which continues to glow long after the light has stopped being applied to the material.<br/> <br/> Chronomancy is the thaumaturgical system that is concerned with time manipulation. Through the replication of the mystery of stagnation, it is possible to set objects still in time, even if one would expect them to continue moving due to physical forces. This can be held for just a moment, to ensure the electron stays excited long enough for the decoupling, since phosphorescence alone may not take long enough. With the small size of the target and the small duration of the spell, it is expected that background thaumic energy may be enough to power this feat.</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p>Mark this day in history, for today I have succeeded!<br/> <br/> After countless attempts, I ran out of dead ends.

A meeting thus occurred between the two parties to discuss the anomaly. As the head of Research on SCP-042-INT, Dr. Cezar was chosen to represent SCP-PT in the proceeding and Site-78 Director Leah Richter and Researcher Maria Johnston spoke on behalf of SCP-EN.</p> <p>For the ease of both parties, the following interview was conducted in English.</p> <div class="VideoConference"> <h3 id="toc0"><span>Video Conference Recording</span></h3> <h4 id="toc1"><span>2/8/2022 14:00</span></h4> <hr/> <p>[Richter joins the online meeting room, followed by Cezar and Johnston]</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Hello? Is this thing working?</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Yes, hello doctor. I can hear you just fine.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Likewise.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> It's an honour to be speaking with you, Researcher Johnston. We've heard a lot about your work with MTF Omega-45<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup>. It would be easy to say that Japan owes you for containing <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7110" target="_blank">SCP-7110</a>.</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> You flatter me, Dr. Cezar, but we don't get thanks for the job we do, even if it occasionally borders on the heroic. Alas, it seems like world-ending threats are always falling into my lap, like this SCP-042-INT object we contacted you about.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> We hoped you could shed some light on this PoI-9029 and his potential motives. We've dealt with a few foreign GoIs at our site but the Technothaumaturges are a new one.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Certainly. I don't think PoI-9029 means any harm. The Technothaumaturges have always been friends of the Foundation and PoI-9029 never did anything to expose the Veil or do harm before this.</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> I'm sure he means well, but I fear that with the rise in Thaumaturgic ability in the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-ninth-world-hub" target="_blank">past year</a>, this situation could get a lot worse. For example, just a few days ago, an instance of SCP-042-INT-A opened here in Wyoming and released a group of Japanese Thaumaturges claiming to belong to the Japanese Empire.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Empire? You mean like… Pre-WW2?</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> They claim they won it, but that's beside the point. I think it’s only a matter of time before something comes through that we can't contain.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> If PoI-9029 won't listen to reason, we need to be prepared to put them down.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> That is a little extreme of a measure, Director. Like your site's motto, it seemed PoI-9029 is doing this for the Betterment of Humanity. I thought you'd at least be a bit more understanding.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Thaumaturgy is a dangerous and unpredictable thing, one that even anomalous science can hardly quantify. Letting these "Technothaumaturges" run unimpeded in your country is a big risk.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Pardon me, Director, but don't you have a Thaumaturge in MTF Omega-45? An SCP object at that? It sounds a little hypocritical to me.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> We keep <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7261" target="_blank">SCP-7261-1</a> on a tight leash, don't presume to tell me what goes on at-</p> <p>[Johnston clears their throat loudly.]</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> We can discuss how our branches should be handling rogue Thaumaturges later. We should discuss our proposal for a joint task force.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Agreed, I'll put that little remark aside for now. I was reading the file on what you proposed. Phi-45 was it?</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Yes. Phi-45 will handle the tracking and containment of SCP-042-INT and any entities that come from SCP-042-INT-A instances. This task force will be made up of a few members of Omega-45 and representatives from Site PT4 with the requisite training.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> And who will hold responsibility for containing the anomaly itself?</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Site-78 is more than capable of shouldering that burden. We have an Adamantite case here with 042-INT's name on it. You just supply us with the extra manpower and we'll take care of it.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> I'm surprised you aren't just shipping your problems off to us small fry here in Portugal.</p> <p>[Dr. Cezar laughs.]</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Oh yes, standard American behaviour passing the buck, but not here at Site-78. We'll keep this teleporter from getting into the wrong hands.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Excellent. I'll talk to my Site Director about the Phi-45 proposal and I'll send a list of specialists we can send to assist. The one thing that I will ask is that you attempt to bring PoI-9029 in alive.</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> I'll try my best, Cezar, but Director Richter is very strict on…</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Liabilities to my staff. The safety of our men comes first over apprehending PoIs. Understood?</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Loud and clear.</p> <p>[Richter and Johnston disconnect, followed by Cezar]</p> </div> <p>A Joint Task Force under the code name Phi-45 "Crisis Monitors" was formed a few days later under the supervision of Researchers Cezar and Johnston. John Cassington, a veteran of MTF Omega-45 was chosen to head the squad alongside PT officer First Sergeant Beatriz Candido. Both had prior experiences dealing with hostile Thamauturgic elements in the field, with Beatriz specializing in negotiation with hostile PoIs.</p> <p>Several Thaumaturges specializing in "apparition" were brought in from SCP-PT with Director Richter authorizing SCP-7261-1 to assist with recovery efforts. SCP-7261-1 showed the Thaumaturges of Phi-45 a ritual using items recovered from PoI-9029's home and a sample taken from an SCP-042-INT-A event to track the anomaly to a safe house in the woods of Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA.</p> <p>The following log was taken from the body camera of First Sergeant Candido during Phi-45's deployment to PoI-9029's safe house.</p> <p><strong>Deployment Log 042-INT/1:</strong></p> <div class="blockquote"> <p>[18:00]</p> <p>[The staging area for the Phi-45 operation can be seen. Sergeant Cassington is seen checking Reconnaissance drone footage. SCP-7261-1 a.k.a Agent Avalerra walks into the frame and begins to address First Sergeant Candido and Cassington.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Ah, Avalerra. Status report.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> The engineers have SRAs active along the perimeter of the safe house. I and the rest of the Thaumaturges have reinforced that line with our warding spells. He's boxed in.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Avalerra? You don't refer to her by SCP designation?</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Unlike Director Richter I refuse to dehumanize her like that. Speaking of which, you two should probably be introduced. Beatriz, this is Michaela Avalerra.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Pleased to meet you. Despite what you might have read in my file, I don't bite.</p> <p>[Candido shakes hands with Agent Avalerra.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> It's good to see someone in the English Branch with a more 'liberal' view of things. I get the feeling the higher-ups hear the words 'POI' and 'anomalous' and instantly human rights are out the door.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> If Richter had her way, I'd still be locked firmly in my cell. Thankfully, I'm useful… for now.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> On that topic, I wanted to ask. Sergeant Candido, how do you want to approach this?</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> I get the feeling there's more to that question. What did Richter tell you to do?</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> …Put him down if he didn't come quietly. I'd rather it not come to that, he's caused us a lot of headaches but he's barely out of his 20s.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Agreed. Director [REDACTED] thinks that we could put him to work in our Paratechnology division, so that's what I'm going to try and do. I say we approach carefully, weapons holstered. I'll try and talk to him, and see if I can't get him to cooperate.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Finally, a gringo with some sense. Should I get the men ready to move?</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> We go in fifteen, that good with you Candido?</p> <p>[Candido is heard grunting affirmatively.]</p> <hr/> <p>[18:15]</p> <p>[Camera's low light vision is activated. Sergeant Cassington and Agent Avalerra are seen in the periphery of the camera as Candido approaches PoI-9029's cabin. Candido tries to open the door to find that it's locked.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Anyone good with a lockpick? Or have one?</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> We're more used to kicking doors down but yeah, I got one. You pick up a few things living in Tlaxcala.</p> <p>[Avalerra moves to work the lock, getting the door open within a minute and a half. Candido enters with the rest of Phi-45. Agent Cassington flips a nearby light switch and the lights turn on. The cabin is in a state of disarray, papers and pieces of tech are strewn about everywhere. A few of the Thaumaturges accompanying Candido's team pass by to examine the documentation.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Seems our friend's been trying to work on precisely moving between universes rather than just apparating around our own.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Does he have it down yet?</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Nooooooope. It's about as random as those tears. It seems if he's got something from that world he can lock the device's signature on it like a standard apparition spell. He's got a few here… a place of endless night, <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/skp-portal" target="_blank">Earth where nazis rule the world</a>, <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/alive" target="_blank">a world with no anomalies</a>…</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> That makes two worlds where Axis Powers won WW2. Makes me wonder what other horrible history what-ifs could exist out there. Anyway, leave the documents and tech to the rest of the 45s. You and Cassington are with me. Let's find our PoI.</p> <p>[Candido, Cassington, and Avalerra move through the Cabin further until reaching what appears to be the bedroom.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> (In Portuguese) Alfonso Anderson? Are you in there? We're with the Foundation. We come in peace. We just want to talk. Or maybe English can be easier? My friends here would like to talk as well.</p> <p>[A moment passes and no response is heard. Avalerra draws her Gauss sidearm and Cassington does the same with his Gauss rifle.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Easy. He's probably just asleep.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> (whispering) With all the noise we made?</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> I'm going in, guns down.</p> <p>[Candido opens the door and flicks the light switch on. PoI-9029 is lying on a bed facing away from Candido. Slight mumbling can be heard.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Alfonso? I need you to wake up.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> … Nem fudendo.</p> <p>[The area around the bed begins to warp and distort, turning in on itself and twisting away to reveal a 2m x2m void. PoI-9029 has disappeared and comms open with chatter.]</p> <p><strong>Technician:</strong> (Over comms) One of the SRAs is down! Requesting engineers to the Southeast!</p> <p><strong>Thaumaturge:</strong> (Over comms) M-multiple reality breaches in all sectors of the containment area! We need all available thaumaturges to begin sealing operations.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Damn SRAs.They never work when you want them to. Avalerra get this breach sealed before-</p> <p>[A voice calls for First Sergeant Candido through the instance of SCP-042-INT-A before a 2-meter humanoid comes through the void. Candido takes a few steps back as the entity comes through. The entity appears to be human but with large gelatinous tumors across its frame. Its body shifts by the second, and a human face can be seen peeking under a large collection of adipose where a human head would be.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> M….mom?</p> <p><strong>Entity:</strong> Dear… it's so good to see you. Do you want to come into the sun with me?</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> S-sun? Mom, what's happened to you?</p> <p><strong>Entity:</strong> I've seen the light and it feels so good and you will too.</p> <p>[The entity lunges towards Candido and is met with Gauss fire from Sergeant Cassington's weapon. The resulting shots liquefy and burst through the shifting mass of flesh but the entity is able to anomalously regenerate these portions. First Sergeant Candido starts to back up faster as Avalerra and another thaumaturge pass by chanting. Water vapor in the air around the entity begins to become visible and with a hand motion and clap, it thaumaturgically solidifies around the creature; encasing it in ice.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> H-holy… thanks Avalerra.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> No problem. You did good too, Nadalia.</p> <p>[The thaumaturge next to Avalerra, identified as Corporal Nadalia Lacerda salutes to her, shaking slightly.]</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> You too, Miss Avalerra. Are we going to give chase to the P-O, I mean Alfonso?</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Do we have a way of following him? He could be anywhere here or in another universe.</p> <p>[Avalerra pulls a baggie from a pocket on her vest. It contains a lock of hair. She then approaches the frozen entity and breaks off one of its many arms.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Ugh, this thing reeks of Ozone but it'll get the job done. I brought plenty of his hair samples that we took for his home for an apparating ritual, plus this creature here has an Echo<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup> from the device. I can follow him.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> (Over comms) Johnston do we have permission to follow? We may be traveling into another universe.</p> <p><strong>Johnston:</strong> Directors have given the go-ahead. Find that POI and quick, command is getting a little antsy.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Candido, you good?</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Yeah I just…. didn't think that a version of someone I knew would come through.</p> <p>[Candido turns to Corporal Nadalia.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Nadalia we might need you for this, I know you seemed nervous when that creature came through but…</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> I gotta get the field experience somehow. I'm ready to go.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> One last thing, in case we get separated.</p> <p>[Avalerra hands Candido a baggie and a small device with input holes and a button.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> This is a one-use device, our boys in the lab cooked up. It'll allow you to give chase to Alfonso. Just put the hair and something from a "-A" inside of it and press. Or alternatively, if you need to get back; there is a return button which I've calibrated to get you back to this spot.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Got it, let's get going before he gets any farther or jumps again.</p> <p>[Candido huddles together with Avalerra, Nadalia, and Cassington as Avalerra begins to chant and a bubble of Thaumic energy surrounds them.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> I'm going to warn you. Traveling dimensions can be a tricky thing and you'll see some freaky stuff. Just keep your composure and you'll do fine.</p> <p>[The bubble collapses in on the group and the room disappears. Candido appears to be falling as various locations flash within view of the camera. A large megalopolis on a red planet turns to a rocky barren waste with a Foundation site nearby. This vision falls away to become a city filled with automatons before coming to a stop as a metal thud is heard.]</p> <p>[Candido groans as she pulls herself up, now inside of a metal hallway.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Shit. Shit. Shit!</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Av… Avalerra? Wh- am I on Earth? I think I saw… Mars? Are we in space?</p> <p>[Candido turns as they stand up and Avalerra, Nadalia, and Cassington are seen in various states of discombobulation. Avalerra is covering her nose and looks nauseous.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Anomalous shit! We're not in space. This is an Acroamatic Abatement facility, all sorts of anomalous crap is flowing through these pipes and it stinks.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> You didn't answer my question… was I in space?</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Probably? You're protected from any outside interference while traveling… usually. It's like your not actually there, just a passing observer.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Right. I forgot your nose is more sensitive than ours. But the real question is… <em>which</em> Acroamatic Abatement facility are we in?</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Probably don't have to look far. You Foundation types plaster your damn name and logo on everything.</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> She's got a point you know.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Noted and agreed. Let's get moving. Alfonso's has to be in here somewhere.</p> <p>[Candido and Cassington take lead, rounding the corner to find a Foundation marking on a nearby wall.]</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Foundation Site-43 Acroamatic Abatement Facility AAF-D. Canada eh?</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> (Over comms) JTF Phi-45, this is Richter. You need to get out of there right now.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Director Richter? Our comms still work here? And you're watching us?</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> I have my ways, Sergeant Candido. And if you are in AAF-D and those red lights are going off? It's September 8th.</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> S-september 8th? What happens on September 8th?</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> The worst containment breach in Site-43 history. Had I not been sick that day, we wouldn't be talking. You need to find PoI-9029 and get out of there ASAP. Do not let any orphic outflow touch you and don't interfere with anything you see happen.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Copy, let's move 45s.</p> <p>[Candido and the group continued through the hallways of the facility, walking fast and following the arrows to the exit. At the end, PoI-9029 is spotted trying to climb the stairs out of the section.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Alfonso! Wait! Please just hear us out.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Hear you foundies out? Nah, you just want to take MY invention for yourselves. This isn't the type of universe I was looking for but I'll find another.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> We're on your side Alfonso. We have no ill intentions with that device, we swear.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> My inventions don't deserve a place in your cages. No fucking way.</p> <p>[SCP-042-INT releases a spray of phosphorescent energy before a spatial distortion replaces PoI-9029 with an instance of SCP-042-INT-A as a wave of color bathes over the camera. The resulting void erupts with a wave of multicolored effluence that rushes toward Candido. Nadalia rushes in front of the group and casts an Abjuration field that stops the incoming fluid in its place.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Avalerra, get us out of here!</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> I… I'll try but Nadalia will have to drop that spell.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> So? We'll be gone by then.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> If any of that effluence touches the bubble it could interrupt the spell and shoot us all into the wrong dimensions. You saw the color effect that distortion, something is happening in this place. Something <em>wrong</em>.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> We can't just leave her, there has to be another way.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Do you think that I want to? I'm trying to figure out another-</p> <p>[The sound of a pipe bursting echoes down the way they came.]</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> Go. Just leave.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Nadalia…</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> No time to argue. I know what I signed up for. You taught me well Avalerra and now I'm returning the favor.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Damn it Alfonso…. You two come here.</p> <p>[Nadalia looks back as Candido stands within the thaumic bubble. She smiles as the bubble collapses and Candido is sent hurtling into the midst of a battlefield. The camera picks up several gilded war machines engaging with forces bearing the mark of the Chaos Insurgency, twisted into a pointed star.]</p> <p><strong>Chaos Apostate:</strong> Death to the Corpse Emperor!</p> <p>[The current reality breaks like glass into a new one. Candido comes to a stop in a busy market. People around the group look on before continuing with their business.]</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Why aren't they reacting to us? We just manifested out of nothing.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> I would like to stop getting thrown everywhere.</p> <p>[Candido stands back up.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> I wonder what exactly is different about this place. Avalerra… about Nadalia.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> About what? She's gone and someone has to avenge her.</p> <p>[Avalerra sniffs the air.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> He went that way. I smell <em>him</em>.</p> <p>[Avalerra sprints past the camera at an inhuman speed with Cassington running after her and Candido following suit. PoI-9029 comes into view as he throws a cart in their path. Avalerra leaps through the air overtop as Candido and Cassington have to move around it.]</p> <p><strong>Man:</strong> Hey what did that guy do? He doesn't look like an anomaly!</p> <p><strong>Man 2:</strong> Typical Foundation thugs! Chasing after the little guy!</p> <p>[A few jeering civilians moved to block Candido.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Get out of the way! Foundation business!</p> <p><strong>Man:</strong> WHat did he do? Probably nothing for an organization that locks up little girls!</p> <p>[Candido pushed them out away and continued after PoI-9029. A quick right turn led to an alleyway where it turned to a dead end.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Alfonso! Don't use that device again! You're going to destroy this world or worse.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> You don't think I don't know that? This place is so much better than our world, why would I want to destroy it. This is a world where your little masquerade broke. Everyone knows about every little heinous thing you ever did.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Why did you bring us here? Sounds like you've been here before.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Because I was hoping to show you that this chase is pointless. You're in the wrong and I'm in the right. For every horror you keep from the public, you deprive them of magic and wonder.This little device will change the world as soon as I find the right universe with the right tech to make it work.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> You have a noble goal, Alfonso. But the world isn't black and white like that, we do our jobs knowing that we might not be appreciated for the things we do.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Take it from me kid, I've been on the front lines longer than anyone, Afghanistan and now the Foundation. Terrible things are done in the name of peace, and I don't agree with all of it. But I don't want you to be another casualty in the name of it. Listen to Officer Candido and just come with us.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> You can't be serious, John. This isn't justice. He doesn't even care that Nadalia is gone… but I'll make him care.</p> <p>[Avalerra started to chant and move her hands in a fluid motion.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Avalerra, stand down! Alfonso, it doesn't have to go like this. Just come with us back home, there are plenty of other ways to help people than this.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> You keep your attack dog away from me! Or I'll…</p> <p><strong>Cassington</strong> Avalerra. This is an order! Do not cast that spell!</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> You heard the director. Our lives over his. He won't hurt any more people. That's a promise.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029::</strong> V-vai se fuder!</p> <p>[A spatial distortion then appeared across the camera's view. When it disappeared, Candido appeared to be in an office building. Screams could be heard from behind as Candido turned around. Avalerra was on fire, calling for help as Cassington was trying to snuff it out with a blanket. When the fire was extinguished, Avalerra's skin was blistered and charred black.]</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> J-john… please… everything hurts.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Avalerra! Oh god… what happened?</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> The displacement. Avalerra must have cast her spell just as he activated the device, in his scramble he must have taken all of us with him.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Avalerra and her spell ended up in the same place. God…</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> I didn't mean it! I swear… she was going to kill me!</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> You could have deflected or defended yourself from that spell. I've seen it done. You're nothing but a screw-up, you know that.</p> <p>[A growling is heard as several as <a href="http://scp-ukrainian.wikidot.com/scp-078-ua" target="_blank">entities</a> resembling humanoids in chairs come skittering from a nearby office.]</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> What the- Ai caralho! Nem fudendo!</p> <p>[Another spatial distortion is seen before the visage of a forest comes clear.]</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Avalerra!? Avalerra!</p> <p>[Candido looks around, no one is the forest besides Cassington and PoI-9029.]</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> We have to go back. Take us. Back.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> I-I can't. I don't have anything from there.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> (Over comms) Sergeant Cassington. SCP-7261-1's camera feed has gone dark. We're updating her classification to neutralized.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> No. There's no way she-</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> The entities were identified as SCP-078-UA and in her weakened state, most likely she would be unable to fight them off. Finish your mission.</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Copy that.</p> <p>[Cassington lunged forward and punched PoI-9029 in the jaw, knocking him and the device to the ground.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Cassington, stop! No on else has to die!</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> You couldn't have gone quietly? You just had to kill one of my own?</p> <p>[Cassington pulled his rifle off his back and Candido stepped in front of him to shield PoI-9029. A spatial distortion occurred and the forest turned the middle of the ocean with PoI-9029 frantically splashing. A single buoy can be seen in the distance.]</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Help! Please, I can't swim!</p> <p>[A wave splashes against PoI-9029. A few seconds pass before he emerges.]</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> It's not waterproof!</p> <p>[Candido begins swimming over to PoI-9029, as he continues to thrash trying to reach the buoy.]</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Fuck! We're stuck here!</p> <p>[Candido reaches and grabs PoI-9029.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Calm down! Here, hold onto my back.</p> <p>[Candido swims towards the buoy. Upon reaching it, she and PoI-9029 hold onto it. Both are panting.]</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Where. The Fuck. Are we?</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Zero zero… Origin point… Default coordinates.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> What?</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> One second.</p> <p>[PoI-9029 takes a moment to catch his breath]</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> In case of damage, I set the device to return back to default coordinates. Only problem is… I didn't set a default so it's probably at 0 degrees west and north.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> That's null island. We're just off the coast of Africa then. Thankfully, god rest her soul, Avalerra gave me a get out of jail free card. Hold on to me.</p> <p>[Candido pulls the return device into frame and hits the button. The ocean disappears and Candido now appears to be in PoI-9029's cabin.]</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> I… We're back. It.. was for the greater good. I.. did it for the greater good…</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> Greater good? I understand you're probably in shock right now but I lost four good officers back there. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook but… I'm wondering if you were worth it.</p> <p>[Corporal Nadalia and Avalerra apparate into the room, looking worse for wear.]</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> We're back! I knew I could do it!</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> I'm never putting my trust in you gringos again.</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> N-nadalia? Wh- I saw you…</p> <p><strong>Nadalia:</strong> Die? Nope. I thought I was a goner but a void opened up underneath me and I ended up inside an office building. It was filled with all these horrid chair creatures but once I got fought through them all, I found Avalerra all charred up. Nothing a good healing spell can't fix.</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Wait what about Cassington? Is he…</p> <p>[Cassington soon appeared in the room with them, a look of shock on his face.]</p> <p><strong>Cassington:</strong> Avalerra! You're alive!</p> <p><strong>Avalerra:</strong> Relatively. Good to see you, Jon.</p> <p><strong>Cassinton:</strong> Candido, I… sorry about what happened back there. I just-</p> <p><strong>Candido:</strong> No need to explain. We got him, didn't we? Safe and sound.</p> <p>[Candido turned to see members of Phi-45 restraining PoI-9029 and taking him out of the room.]</p> <p>[End recording.]</p> </div> <p>PoI-9029 was subsequently transferred to Site PT4 for holding until a decision could be made on what was to be done with him.

I hope your confinement has been… comfortable?</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> The food sucks but the beds are comfy, guess I can't complain.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> I just wanted to make sure you weren't being mistreated.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> I'm surprised myself, I would have thought after all the hell I put your officers through I'd be strung up for all to see.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Well I can tell you that the English Branch is… not particularly happy that you're walking away so lightly. But Sergeant Candido put in a good case that you were merely acting under duress and your actions weren't of a malicious nature.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> And they weren't. Even if… Even if it all got out of hand. However, it's not like it's all my fault. Your officers pointed guns at me, broke into my home, tried to immolate me, and then tried to execute me without trial.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> I saw the footage. EN's agents acted out of line, but surely you must be aware of the actions you took that led to them acting out of turn.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Look, I- I just- This is stupid. I was trying to do good. I was trying to <em>fix</em> my mistake… No one got hurt in the end. I didn't kill anyone. Can't I just be left alone?</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> I'm afraid you have to answer for your actions. Anyways, I've come to offer you two choices. Director [REDACTED] has authorized your release under the stipulation that you be monitored for a year to ensure that you aren't messing with unsanctioned Technothaumaturgy. The second is that you take a job here, you'll get full benefits and we'll pay for housing. You don't have to worry about trying to stake your own out in the anomalous maker space.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> No… I can't. Even if I wanted to be told what to do, even if I wanted to be a sellout and betray the art, I just can't. I fucked up. I almost died because of it. I don't want this anymore. Please, leave me alone. I'll take the release and you and your spies can watch me for all I care.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> Alright then, I'll just-</p> <p>[An aide comes into the room and approaches the table. They whisper something into Dr. Cezar's ear. Dr. Cezar looks at PoI-9029 before looking back at the aide.]</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> I don't understand. We just reached an agreement here, I was about to get the paperwork.</p> <p><strong>Aide:</strong> It's way above the both of us doc. Overseers order. They're waiting outside to take over this project.</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> No, I don't think you understand. I am the lead researcher on this project, and I do not answer to the O5. I answer to the CL5. I will not tolerate this… this meddling. We spent our resources, we put our people on the line. No. They can't just run us over like this.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> What…</p> <p><strong>Cezar:</strong> (sighs) Apologies, Alfonso. It seems there's been a misunderstanding here. I will speak to my superiors. Consider your choices. Until I personally tell you otherwise, the offer is still available.</p> <p>[Dr. Cezar and the aide leave the room and thirty seconds later the doors open. A woman and a man in suits come and take a seat in front of PoI-9029. The woman adjusts her glasses and begins to speak.]</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Hello. PoI-9029. My name is Leah Richter, director of SCP-EN's Site-78. You've put my personnel through quite the ordeal recently, so I'd recommend that you keep quiet and listen to what we have to say.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Right… and who is this?</p> <p><strong>O5-11:</strong> I am Overseer eleven of the O5 council. It's not every day that someone like you gets to meet one of us, so I hope that instills in you how serious of a matter this is.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Now that introductions are out of the way. It's time to talk. We've always been aware of the threats from creatures and beings from other universes and have contained them as such. But that footage we recovered from your little… escapade has shown us that there is so much more to the multiverse than anomalies to contain.</p> <p><strong>O5-11:</strong> Our <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7023" target="_blank">Department of Multiversal Defense</a> wants you to help them build a more precise, larger-scale version of your device and help map out the Multiverse. We believe that unlocking the keys to it could have excellent long-term benefits.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> Why do you need me for that? You're own Thaumaturges don't seem to have a problem apparating between dimensions.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> Apparation Thaumaturgy has no large-scale applications as of yet and is vulnerable to interference. It's chaotic and uncontrollable like all Thaumaturgy is. Technology is reliable and logical like any science. We want to take the Thaumaturge out of the equation so any capable specialist can use this device in the field.</p> <p><strong>PoI-9029:</strong> So you want me to help you mass-produce devices to put your jackbooted thugs in every world that you seek to exploit? No. I won't be a part of that.</p> <p><strong>Richter:</strong> I don't think you understand. The previous deals are off the table and don't talk to me about exploitation. You were going to exploit this device for fame and use the multiverse to fix it. There is no choice in the matter. We'll be back after our meeting with the CL5 council, I hope you are more cooperative then.</p> <p>[End Recording.]</p> </div> <p>A meeting between SCP-EN's O5 Council and SCP-PT's CL5 council has been scheduled, regarding the future containment, incorporation, or release of PoI-9029 and the remains of SCP-042-INT.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-042-int">Don’t forget to vote for this article on the INT Wiki for the purposes of the contest!</a></strong></span></p> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

Macroscopic organs, such as eyes and hears, function through a multitude of microscopic units, a <span style="color: gold">sensor network</span>: the neurosensory receptors. <span class="grigio">You have many of them: mechanoreceptors<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup>, photoreceptors, nociceptors<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-9" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-9')">9</a></sup>, thermoreceptors<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-10" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-10')">10</a></sup>, and so on.</span></p> <p>Sensor damage causes a malfunction of the associated sense. <span class="grigio">As an example, a person affected by <em>congenital achromatopsia</em> has color blindness due to severe malfunction of color-sensitive photoreceptors.</span></p> <p>A human's perception of the world is therefore altered if the sensor network is not in optimal conditions. But there is more. Here is my first teaching of the path to the Sublime One:</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #16A085"><em>Even with an optimal sensor network, the human being does not have have a true perception of the world.</em></span></p> <p>The problem lies in the brain.

Just like perception is deceptive, so is <span style="color: gold">language</span>. Like a barrier, language limits the human being, alienating him from information that lies beyond its boundary.</p> <p>Here, though, there is an important difference: some languages do not have such limits.

But the natural language, the one you use every day, the one you're reading now.<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>.<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>. there's nothing more deceptive. <span class="grigio">For a long time I have hypothesized alternative ways of communication, but this virtual letter is the most direct way, even if bristling with obstacles.</span></p> <p>We can now, shyly, get closer to the following truth:<br/></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3498DB"><em>Unless we use formally perfect language, human beings are limited in the cognitive sphere.</em></span></p> <p>The most brilliant mathematicians and the greatest linguists approach the purity of language.

What you can perceive with senses and what you can think of (including imagination) constitutes your <span style="color: gold">Umwelt</span>, that is, your subjective universe.</p> <p>A third veil keeps them firmly together.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #FFFF00"><strong>Veil of Maya</strong>: <em>Every human being lives in their own Umwelt.</em></span></p> <p>But this is what your kind, before you, has thought at this point:</p> <p><span class="dancing" style="font-size: 24px;">Where are the promised answers?<br/> Where is the role of the human being in the universe?<br/> Where is the meaning of life?</span></p> <p>Be patient.

Every physical phenomenon, from a lightning to a dewdrop falling from a leaf, it's the result of an elaboration.</p> <p>Reality, intended as the objective substrate at the base of everything, it's nothing but this: <span style="color: gold">information</span>. Everything else is perceived reality, subjective universes. <span class="grigio">Bringers of information are the quantum fields.</span></p> <p>You too, therefore, are information. <span class="grigio">Hear me out now, because I have to do something a little difficult.</span></p> <p>An electron is described by its quantum numbers, which represent the <em>state</em> of a particle. <span class="grigio"><em>Spin</em> is the most famous quantum number.</span></p> <p>The principle of <span style="color: gold">indistinctness</span> applies: if you swap two electrons with the same quantum numbers, then the resulting quantum field is unchanged, thus the information is the same. <span class="grigio">Another example: take ten electrons from a stone. Change their quantum numbers in such a way that they are equal to ten of your electrons. Throw away your electrons and put the stone ones where yours were before. The result is that nothing has changed.</span></p> <p>The previous principle applies to every subatomic particle, not just electrons. Therefore, if ideally I replaced every single particle of your body with a particle, taken from who knows where, but located in the same position and with the same quantum numbers, nothing would change.</p> <p><span class="grigio">Actually… I just did that. As I said, the information hasn't changed. And the information includes your Umwelt, thus your memories and your perceptions. See? You're always yourself… I think. Yes, you see, my quantum transfer system is not <em>that</em> precise, some little error can happen every now and then… but you're still alive, am I right?

Who are these “pretty cherry blossoms”, and especially about the car that’s attracting tourists and local visitors' attention?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: Well,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup> I believe that anyone can look up basic information online. Our shrine was constructed recently, starting from my grandfather until me, and then will be taken over by future generations. Some relatives also support us, but mainly annual offerings and ceremonies will be carried out by the Tanaka family and miko.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Right,<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-8" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-8')">8</a></sup> it can be argued that miko have made the shrine extremely popular on social media. Can you go into more detail about this?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: Well, to begin with, the main miko taking care of the shrine are my eldest daughter Tanaka Keiko <em>[raises his hand towards the long-haired miko assisting SCP-042-VN]</em>, my middle daughter Hanami Tanaka <em>[gestures towards the miko next to him]</em>, Ito Yuka <em>[approaches the miko who was witnessing the event and draws her attention.

Yumi Watanabe <em>[camera records a dark-skinned, short-haired miko standing in the middle of tourists and SCP-042-VN]</em> is my niece, and recently the appearance of our new representative – Toyo Tanaka <em>[points towards SCP-042-VN performing the ceremony]</em>, my youngest daughter.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Yes, from what I see, it seems that Ms. Keiko is playing a key role in taking care of the shrine. If so, will this role be passed on to anyone when she becomes an adult? And what if the miko have other wishes?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: Miko’s duty has always been passed down in the Tanaka family. Fortunately, my beloved daughters always enjoy working with this old grumpy father. But if they want to do something else, I'll happily agree. Birds have to leave their nest, right?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: Currently, Keiko is the Head Miko. In case she and Yuka go to college or move to another city, Toyo will take over the job for her two older sisters.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Well, perhaps Ms. Toyo is the perfect choice for a shrine manager in the future, and she will be able to handle this responsibility for a very long time, right? So, can the current shrine manager tell us what fate brought Ms. Toyo into the perfect position for this duty?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: Well, to be honest, it all started very randomly. Please give me a few minutes.</p> <p><em>[Mr. Hiroshi takes out a notebook from the cupboard and holds it towards the camera. He then turns to random pages.

Why didn’t you check out that car?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: I didn't know that she was alive at that time. It was a cold winter with heavy snow, so I just put a thick tarp over her body to cover the snow and went back to my room.

And Toyo was hiding behind the stone tablet.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: So what was your first reaction?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: At first, I thought it was someone pranking us. You know, some kids were on winter break, so they had free time to do things like that.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Oh right, so when did you realize that Miss Toyo was conscious?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: As I came closer, she retreated deep into the bushes, but no one was in the cockpit, which made me feel very suspicious.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: So you adopted Miss Toyo from that moment?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: There were some initial discussions too, we had to talk and clarify things. I also needed custody from her previous owner as well. But after few months when no one came to claim her, she gradually became a part of my family. She called me father, my daughter sister, and considered this place as her home. Then she became an integral part of the shrine like now.</p> <p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Vincent Bohart</strong></span>: Forgive me if this question is too personal, but some of my viewers asked if an automobile is suitable enough to become a miko?</p> <p><span style="color: #e64019"><strong>Tanaka Hiroshi</strong></span>: This shrine always accepts all lives if they want to follow Shinto. Moreover, Toyo is the most sincere in this work, and maybe she gained power and mind from Shinto blessings.

In the event of complete cooling failure, the sector must be evacuated immediately and a maintenance team clad in VS suits must be dispatched to repair the system. Personnel must wait an additional two (2) days after successful repair before re-entering the sector. Unless approved by a respective Foundation O4 Council member, SCP-044-DE may only be transported to another laboratory for containment if its current laboratory is undergoing maintenance or requires relocation. In the event of SCP-044-DE infection, subjects must be either contained for continued research or immediately incinerated. Should SCP-044-DE breach containment, the sector must be placed under quarantine and all personnel within it is to be promptly cremated.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-044-DE is a virion of a previously unidentified genus, measuring approximately 4 nanometers in diameter. SCP-044-DE is capable of asexually reproducing, displaying similar behavior to that of bacterial organisms. It has been observed to possess a single strand of DNA and one strand of RNA, and tests conducted by Dr. ██████ have indicated that it lacks the capacity to mutate. SCP-044-DE can only be transmitted through blood, faeces, saliva, or aerosolized particles, exhibiting fungal properties once infecting a host's body. Upon gaining access to specialized cells within the host, SCP-044-DE generates a secretion that facilitates its spread throughout the body. All individuals infected with SCP-044-DE are designated as SCP-044-DE-1, while reanimated subjects infected with the virion are designated as SCP-044-DE-2. The latter roam aimlessly and act as an additional vector for the propagation of SCP-044–DE. A list of symptoms associated with infection and their respective time intervals is shown below:</p> <table class="wiki-content-table"> <tr> <td><strong>Timeline of symptoms</strong></td> <td><strong>Symptoms</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Days 1-3</td> <td>Severe gastrointestinal discomfort and frequent migraines</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Days 4-5</td> <td>Coughing, rhinorrhea, diarrhea</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Day 6</td> <td>Emesis</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Days 7-9</td> <td>Incessant coughing, bruising from excretory organs</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Days 10-11</td> <td>Formation of pus blisters on the skin</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Day 12</td> <td>Sudden bursting of pus blisters</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Day 13</td> <td>Immunodeficiency, high fever</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Day 14</td> <td>Kidney failure</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Days 15-17</td> <td>Appendicitis</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Days 18-19</td> <td>Liver and spleen failure</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Day 20</td> <td>Total organ failure</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Day 21</td> <td>Reanimation</td> </tr> </table> <p><strong>Transportation of SCP-044-DE:</strong> During transportation, samples of SCP-044-DE must be securely contained within a 50 cm x 50 cm x 30 cm refrigerated box at a permanent temperature of -20°C. A team of seven personnel must be assigned to the transport, with four responsible for safeguarding the container and three armed with flamethrowers in case of an SCP-044-DE containment breach. The transport must be completed swiftly as the battery life for the refrigeration system is limited to 23 hours. If the battery fails prior to reaching the destination, the transport team must immediately incinerate the box and surrender themselves at Research Sector-DE-1 within 24 hours for examination. In the event that any employee is confirmed to have been infected with SCP-044-DE, they must be promptly terminated through flash incineration.</p> <p><strong>Discovery:</strong> Foundation agents stationed in Saarland were initially alerted to the presence of SCP-044-DE following reports of a mass panic in a residential area in Saarbrücken. Following the identification of the source of the panic, Class-C amnestics were administered to all individuals who had been exposed to the incident. In addition, any potential witnesses and instances of SCP-044-DE-1 and SCP-044-DE-2 were terminated. Furthermore, it was reported that multiple persons could be heard shouting the same phrase in public areas within Saarbrücken; the phrase is as follows:</p> <blockquote> <p>WE WILL ALL DIE FROM THE NUCLEAR VIRUS SAVE YOURSELVES WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!!!!</p> </blockquote> <p>Local residents colloquially referred to SCP-044-DE as the "nuclear virus," likely due to a misapprehension that the virion was radiological in nature.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;"> [+] Open Addendum</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;"> [-] Hide Addendum</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Addenmdum 044-DE-1:</strong><br/> <strong>Interview with John Smith:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>John Smith:</strong> Let me out of here right now!!</p> <p><strong>Dr. Carl:</strong> No. We will not let you go until you have answered all the questions.</p> <p><em>John Smith begins screaming and insults Dr. Carl several times</em></p> <p><strong>John Smith:</strong> Why should I answer your questions.

They are also more inclined towards groups of people rather than individual persons. Additionally, consumption of food has been noted, although this does not appear to generate any metabolic benefits for the subject.

SCP-050-INT	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-050-INT</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Thaumiel</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> Provisional Site-11, located in Singapore, has been constructed for the purpose of housing Project Polyglot and the ongoing development of SCP-050-INT. Due to the memetic nature of many Project Polyglot research materials, staff entering and leaving the site are to undergo a week long quarantine and psychological evaluation. Until development of SCP-050-INT’s anti-memetic properties are completed, all information regarding Project Polyglot is considered Level 4 Classified.</p> <p>As of 20/1/2022, a Tactical Theology Mobile Task Force trained in Akivan communications is to be stationed at Provisional Site-11.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-050-INT is an anomalous language created by the Foundation as part of Project Polyglot. Following a variety of incidents stemming from a lack of inter-organizational efficiency<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-340415-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-340415-1')">1</a></sup>, Project Polyglot was conceived as an effort to improve cooperation between different Foundation branches, and focused on several guiding principles.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Universality</strong> - The creation of a language that could only be spoken, written and perceived by staff would allow for personnel of different nationalities to simply and quickly communicate. This would be facilitated with the simultaneous development of a memetic that grants those exposed to it instant fluency in SCP-050-INT.</li> <li><strong>Security</strong> - As part of its creation, SCP-050-INT was interlaced with several anomalous qualities, allowing for its use as a secure cipher with increased resistance to both written and spoken memetic hazards. Individuals who did not speak SCP-050-INT would be incapable of hearing the language itself when it was spoken.</li> <li><strong>Secrecy</strong> - Recent research carried out by the Tactical Theology department on the applications of specific elements of religious scripture suggested that many classes of Akivan entities were not capable of comprehending specific Aramaic languages. This would allow Foundation personnel to operate without interference or fear of repercussions from said entities. Due to the relatively small speaking population, the Western Neo-Aramaic variant was chosen to serve as the framework for SCP-050-INT, and proposals were drawn up for the relocation and amnestization of said population.</li> <li><strong>Stability</strong> - Project Polyglot would see the development of a conceptual engineering device capable of manipulating and splicing concepts into SCP-050-INT. By grounding it in collective conceptualization, the language will be more resistant to linguistic parasites, be more hostile to pataphysical entities, and be more difficult to host new linguistic memetic hazards on. This will ensure the longevity of SCP-050-INT as a tool for the Foundation's use.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Addendum INT-050.1:</strong> Project Launch</p> <p>Following the O5 Council's approval on 24/01/20, Project Polyglot was set to begin. The Provisional Site-11 was constructed with the purpose of facilitating the project. Due to the nature of the anomaly, the project requires staff to be members from different international branches. As a result, Provisional Site-11 was constructed in Singapore to act as a neutral country between the different branches. The following Department Heads were assembled for the project:</p> <ul> <li>Project Lead: Damien Lim Jun Jie</li> <li>Head of Engineering: Sebastían Joaquín Leopoldo</li> <li>Head of Logistics: Marcel Vivier</li> <li>Head of Memetics: Yekaterina Popova</li> <li>Head of Linguistics: Chen Hao Xuan</li> <li>Tactical Theology Consultant: Cole Jackson</li> </ul> <p>Alongside their respective departments. The following is a transcript of their first meeting together.</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«BEGIN LOG»</strong></p> <hr/> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> (<em>claps hands together</em>) Welcome everyone. Happy to have you all working on this project. So far so good, and as <em>far</em> as I can see, things are gonna stay good. First order of business: how's progress coming along? Oh! And how's everyone doing today?</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> We've begun running diagnostic tests on the Ontological Linkage System, before starting any actual conceptual manipulation. We're also waiting on a shipment of metallic hydrogen so we can continue to power the dumb thing.</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> Your request has already been received and processed, expect an arrival in two days time.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> Can't get it any sooner?</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> Logistics is a well-oiled machine, not some exclusive club. We're not Amazon.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> I guess..</p> <p><strong>Lim</strong>: Well that's good to hear. Mr. Chen, how's your department fairing?</p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> Ah! Well, we've been settling in alright, accommodations have been satisfactory— <em>my</em> accommodations have been satisfactory. We've already started our analysis of Western Neo-Aramaic, and are planning to cross reference with what we know about <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-es-180">SCP-INT-0264</a> in order to start making changes. With assistance from Memetics, of course.</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> Of course.

Is there a status update on the situation earlier?<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-340415-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-340415-2')">2</a></sup></p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> I recognize that a member of my department was the cause of this recent blackout, and as department head I take full responsibility for this setback.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> A setback that could've been doubly avoided if we were given the full set of resources we requested.</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> Well, that's on you.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> …Excuse me?</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> If you did not receive all the materials you required, then that is because you filed an incomplete request.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> We… I— (<em>exhales</em>) I sent you, the request, and—</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> And I delivered the requested materials, just as I promised.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> You <em>explicitly</em> denied the full request.</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> No. What happened was that you sent an email, which was processed, and then hours later sent a second email asking for surplus, which was denied.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> It wasn't goddamn surplus, that was the full order!</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> Then you should have included them in the first email.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> We would have, if we knew a pipe was gonna burst thirty minutes later and start spraying everyone with phonetic refuse. Do you know how hard it is to organize an emergency clean-up when everyone keeps pronouncing their words with too many vowels?</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> That… does sound inconvenient. I am sorry that happened, but there is nothing I could have done.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> …No, no you could have done something! You could've given my department the <em>goddamn</em> things we needed!</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> <em>As</em> I said before, Dr. Leopoldo, Logistics is a well-oiled machine. You can't just… break the machine when it isn't doing what you want!</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> Alright this is going in circles. Now, Mr. Vivier, if you were informed that the requested shipment was for an emergency situation, surely you would be a bit more lenient, yes?</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> I…… well, hm. Yes… there are procedures for that. But- but only if those situations are, in truth, emergencies. I have had more than one— I have had… occurrences, wherein people would lie in order to abuse the system.</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> Dr. Leopoldo, I trust you would not do the same?</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> Yeah, yeah. I cut down a cherry tree and never told a lie again, and all that.</p> <p><strong>Vivier:</strong> I don't watch movies, I don't get that reference.</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> Mr. Chen, Dr. Popova, how're things running on your end?</p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> Slow-going, as Dr. Popova and I have run into… creative differences.</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> How so?</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> Chen's too much of a perfectionist to get anything done.</p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> I'm not being a perfectionist, I'm trying to modify a mundane language into an anomalous one.</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> Heheh, and I'm trying to make a memetic antimeme, but you don't see me sitting around with my thumbs in my ass.</p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> No, but I do see you and your team shotgun blasting half-baked memes and then calling it a day.</p> <p>(<em>Popova leans forward.</em>)</p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> "I don't take kindly to having my work insulted."</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> I don't take kindly to having my work insul— fuck.</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> From what I was told beforehand, you're trying to develop small prototype words to test out. Let Chen work on the language until it has an internal logic, then let Popova graft some memes onto a few words and phrases.</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> Sure.</p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> Alright.</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> That reminds me. Uh, uh, Leopoldo. (<em>snaps fingers</em>) There's something you learned that you said would be a problem for the project.</p> <p><strong>Leopoldo:</strong> That's right. While mapping out the local noosphere, we discovered conceptual barriers that seem to be blocking any attempt to construct a universal language. They also show Akiva radiation signatures.</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> Okay. No worries, I'll request for some experts in this subject matter to come down and give us a hand.</p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«END LOG»</strong></p> </div> <p><strong>Addendum INT-050.2:</strong> Experimentation Logs</p> <div class="blockquote"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>AUDIO LOG</strong></p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«BEGIN LOG»</strong></p> <p><strong>Chen:</strong> Linguistics Head Chen speaking.

As such, the gateway to conceptual reality, no longer held in place by the SRA array, began to spread throughout the Engineering department.</p> <p>This caused vast amounts of damage to the facility, as much of the matter contained within was transmuted into neighbouring concepts. For example, the standard epoxy resin coating on walls, floors and ceilings was converted into a mixture of honey, pine sap and an unknown crystalline substance which bore a strong electrical charge. Due to its conceptually dense shielding, the O.L.S itself was largely unaffected, but much of the site had to be replaced and repaired, setting research back considerably. In addition, Engineering Technician Edilio Gil disappeared during the incident, and was presumed dead.

This is the main tool we are using to carry out the development of SCP-050-INT. Now, if I were to go through there, I would dissolve into a semi-fluid non-mass of ideas and concepts. Very painful, I’ve heard. However, I’m not going through.

Progress has been…. slow. But, what we are doing, bit by bit, is pruning concepts from the Western Neo-Aramaic language, and attaching concepts we want.

Really interesting stuff. Basically, the Talmudic interpretation is that these entities are literally incapable of understanding Aramaic, and since we used that as the base, we should be in the clear.

After all, most Foundation members just decide to pick up another language at some point, especially if they work with other branch staff on a regular basis. However, a nice little bonus of this language is how, thanks to its anti-memetic effects, most people can’t even comprehend what you’re saying.

We didn't steal the meme, we were doing our jobs: analysing the prototype for signs of divine interference. Your experiments kept failing, and while I can't say I know much about the process of making an anomalous meme, from the outside it looked like you and your team were doing everything right. So, we looked for any evidence of outside influence.</p> <p><strong>Popova:</strong> Well I appreciate the concern, but I would've appreciated it more if you actually <em>asked us first</em>.</p> <p><strong>Jackson:</strong> But… we did.

You assured me in our last correspondence that you would keep me up to date with any further issues, and this pattern of negligent behaviour on your part is beginning to concern me.

The Akiva radiation you’ve been informed of is actually evidence of a successful breakthrough on our part! We’ve managed to make several excellent steps forward in bypassing the ‘divine barriers’ that had previously impeded our work. We hadn’t informed the majority of staff yet, as we wanted to iron out any kinks in the process so as to avoid possible miscommunication if the situation changed. I did not want to string yourself or O5-11 along only to disappoint at the last minute. This is why you have heard about this from members of staff first. I’ll try to keep you more the in loop in the future, but the breakthroughs we’re making here at Site-11 are coming out so fast that I didn’t want to spam your in-box!</p> <p>Due to this recent development, the Tactical Theology consultant team has requested an extension to their stay. They need to assess a situation with these barriers, nothing too major, but will take just a little while longer. I’ve already sent my apologies along to the Site-901 Director. Please, be assured that everything is under control here at Site-11, and neither O5-11 or yourself have any reason for concern.</p> <p>Yours,<br/> Damien Lim Jun Jie<br/> Project Lead, Provisional Site-11</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="blockquote"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>«BEGIN LOG»</strong></p> <hr/> <p>(<em>As the meeting room had been destroyed, the current department head meeting is taking place in the site break room.</em>)</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> Umm, g-good afternoon team, here to join the department meeting is our unexpected visitor, Ramiel.</p> <p>(<em>The department heads glance at the entity and then at each other.

I was hoping that you could give some hints.</p> <p><strong>Lim:</strong> How so?</p> <p><strong>Ramiel:</strong> I'm looking for people who have broken some divine laws around here. It is quite a serious matter. The last time we had to resolve such a case was, gosh, <em>thousands</em> of years ago? I believe it had something to do with a big tower. Truly quite dreadful.</p> <p><strong>Jackson:</strong> Perhaps we could help direct you to those people? I'm sure they're pretty far away from us at this point and they might be getting further.</p> <p><strong>Ramiel:</strong> Hmmm… That does seem likely, but I shall remain here for the time being until I have a proper look.

Certain memetic properties of the O.L.S have interacted poorly with the specific latent Hume level in Singapore. This, combined with the geomagnetic properties along the equator have caused an unexpected increase in Akiva radiation, resulting the previous spikes.

SCP-050-PT	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-050-PT</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Keter</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> The mine pit where SCP-050-PT is located must remain sealed, and access severely restricted within a 5-kilometre radius around it under the guise of it being a protected zone for the reproduction of the Azure Jay. Foundation personnel, posing as environmental guards must constantly patrol the containment perimeter. Additional security measures, such as cameras and alarms, must follow the security standards of Level 2 for wilderness areas<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. Civilians trespassing the borders of the containment area are to be apprehended and subjected to light amnestic treatment, then released in a nearby urban zone. No personnel may enter the epicenter of SCP-050-PT's containment zone. In the event that ██ or more human beings intrude into the containment zone, and activate 050-PT's properties, Procedure 050-Abaporu-α must be activated.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-050-PT is a humanoid entity, currently measuring 6.5 metres in height, located at the bottom of an closed mine in M█████ National Park. SCP-050-PT's features resemble an elderly European man, with the exception of his maxilla, which possesses a muscular and bone structure that allows SCP-050-PT to open its jaw up to a 120º degree angle. Similarly, SCP-050-PT's neck and respiratory system are profoundly deformed, with its diameter currently measuring 80 centimetres.</p> <p>In his right hand, SCP-050-PT carries a sack made of leather, with a capacity of up to 150 litres. X-ray analysis made at range show that the bones of 050-PT's fingers and metacarpus are extremely deformed, possibly because of the constriction caused by the constant clutching. It is believed that SCP-050-PT is incapable of opening or realizing any complex function with the flexing tendons from that hand.</p> <p>SCP-050-PT is hostile to humans. If a living human comes within range of the object, SCP-050-PT will try to capture and immobilize the target. Captured humans are then consumed by SCP-050-PT in a process similar to that of a serpent. After consuming the individual, SCP-050-PT will lapse into a state of lethargy, growing rapidly in size by a measure of 1/100 in proportion to its own mass at the time of consumption, per hour, until the individual is fully digested. SCP-050-PT does not appear to possess any form of metabolism, and has not been observed losing bodily mass even after long periods without feeding. Nevertheless, SCP-050-PT possesses a non-anomalous sleeping pattern.</p> <p><strong>Containment:</strong> According to the witnesses present at the date of the containment of SCP-050-PT, the entity fell into the mineshaft where it currently resides (as of 12/7/19██) while pursuing said witnesses: Raquel S█████ and David M████. The witnesses received amnestic treatment, and the current containment measures were implemented. Analysis of the bones and other vestiges found in the surrounding wilderness indicates that SCP-050-PT, or other individuals of the same species, must have inhabited the region for at least ███ years.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Addendum 050-1: Memorandum</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- [ACCESS GRANTED]</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <p>Truth be told, if SCP-050-PT hadn't fallen into that mineshaft, we would probably have had to send in Tau-5 to contain it. The thing seems to feel absolutely nothing, and from the look of his skin, that ugly motherfucker sustained several bullet wounds without dying. I would like to remind the individuals tasked with the patrols that, according to our most conservative estimates, if SCP-050-PT manages to get ahold of at least ██ more people, it'll gain enough mass to escape that shaft.</p> <p>What frightens the most is listening to it, while I patrol the entrance to the mine itself. Hearing those screams and lullabies, we managed to get a fine idea of how it thinks, and boy is he <em>pissed</em>. Moreover, he keeps muttering something about his "pack". Are those carcasses we found really just the product of his work alone?</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Note:</strong> In 2/12/201█, SCP-050-PT emitted a prolonged roar measuring up to 140db. Analysis of the audiovisual records of the park, revealed some background noise that, while initially believed to have been a by-product of the echo caused by the sound, were in fact emitted by [REDACTED]. Therefore, a rapid-access line shall be constructed near the exclusion zone, and necessary reinforcements will be transferred to the location until ██/██/████, effective immediately.

Only personnel with a Clearance Level of 3 or higher may enter the containment zones, and only for experimental purposes. Access is forbidden to any and all civilians under the pretext of conducting research on a population of marine mammals (depending on the place). A-Class (for witnesses) and/or B-Class amnestics (for victims) are to be administered where necessary. Photos and videos taken of SCP-054-FR must be destroyed, and an extensive campaign debunking them as hoaxes must be launched should any evidence be made public.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-054-FR is a phenomenon occurring in some waves off the western coasts of ████████ and █████, and the Eastern coasts of ████, ██████ and ██████. It is characterized by the physical transformation of affected waves to resemble the jaws of a <em>Carcharodon carcharias</em>, commonly known as a Great White Shark. SCP-054-FR is capable of remaining unnoticed until it is almost too late to act. SCP-054-FR is capable of forming on waves at least 4m tall, but the maximum height of which it can reach is unknown. Affected waves are capable of rolling at 3 times the speed of non-affected waves if a non-aquatic animal or a human being is situated between SCP-054-FR and the closest coast.</p> <p>Appearances of SCP-054-FR grow considerably if the previously evoked individuals are situated at a distance of at least 250m from the coast, whether they are swimmers, divers, or aquatic vehicles of moderate size, with the most common victims having been surfers. Injuries caused by SCP-054-FR are similar to that which could be accomplished by a Great White Shark, but with pressure being directly proportional to the height of the affected wave. Injuries, lethal in 68% of cases, occur during the collapse of the wave over the victim. Reported injuries have been as simple as a removed limb to total disappearance of the victim. The only method of avoiding injury by SCP-054-FR is to dive under the wave before impact.</p> <p>SCP-054-FR appears only on the part of the wave to closest its victim. If more than one victim is available, SCP-054-FR will manifest at multiple points on the wave. SCP-054-FR will accelerate to an average of ███kph, with the highest reported speed being ███kph.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 054-A:</strong> A series of experiments discovered that releasing several litres of animal blood in the waters where SCP-054-FR is known to occur can cause its manifestation within two minutes. The instances of SCP-054-FR collapsed over the released blood. Further testing involving an equal amount human blood yielded a response in less than 60 seconds. Even small amounts of human blood have yielded faster reaction times than large quantities of animal blood.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 054-B:</strong> Unusually, several maritime birds were observed be consumed by SCP-054-FR when they moved in front of a wave taller than 4m. This was the first time SCP-054-FR has been observed attacking anything other than human prey.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 054-C:</strong> Observations have shown that wounded peoples are 4 times as likely to be victims of SCP-054-FR, with an instance manifesting in less than 60 seconds. Further testing revealed that remaining motionless reduced the likelihood of SCP-054-FR manifestations, as did slower body movements.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 054-D:</strong> All the attempts at damaging manifestations of SCP-054-FR via weapons fire have proven ineffective, with shots disappearing into the wall of water. Furthermore, attempts at concealing the subjects' smell have proven equally ineffective, with SCP-054-FR not appearing to be affected at all.</p> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-054-fr">SCP-054-FR</a>" by INT_Translator, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

It is similarly related to <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3848">Lethe</a> Events, although there seems to be no correlation between the rates of both events.</p> <p>Antimemetic anomalies with manipulable cloaking properties are now neutralized on SCP-055-INT infected individuals.</p> <p>Because the Foundation is the largest manufacturer and consumer of amnestics, resolving SCP-055-INT is of the highest priority.

Oneiricweave<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> is manipulated and programmed into components that are sensitive to the reception and operation of psionics and thaumaturgy, then integrated into a network codified to a specific Operative and their SCP-055-PT Unit.</p> <p>These components are pre-programmed with standard resilience towards the stimuli from biological, chemical, nuclear, thaumartugic, psionic, memetic, ontokinetic, and physical agents; these resiliences are complemented by the autonomous adaptive capability possessed by the Oneiricweave reaction to stress.</p> <p>SCP-055-PT Units are equipped with a supporting Individual Artificial Intelligence Module based in the breakthroughs occurred during <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-007-int">Project Mel</a> and Project Chamomile. These modules comprise artificial constructs that emulate human intelligence; that of an advanced computational unity synthetically.</p> <p>The integrated artificial intelligence operates as an extension of the Operative, supporting activities through the micro and macro management of systems. These AIs are stored bi-partially between the Unit's module and the Operative's Psionic Network; this bipartition allows the Operative to access the AI even when alien to its armour. This integration promotes personal contact between Operative and AI, allowing for the efficient premeditation and communication of actions through bounding.</p> <p>Each SCP-055-PT Unit is connected to a Psionic Network codified to its respective Operative. Psionic Networks are complex systems that store and transmit psionic information, based on an individual system similar to that of an intranet.</p> <div style="display: inline-block ; border : solid 1px #444444 ; background :#F5F5F5 ; margin-left : auto ; margin-right : auto ; width : auto ; padding:10px"> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><span style="font-size:110%;"><strong>EXCERPT — INTRODUCTION TO PSYONIC THAUMATURGY</strong></span></p> </div> <hr/> <p>Characteristically, psionic energy is a volatile substance with thaumaturgic applications, fundamental to psiokineticism. The nervous system Psions (individuals with psionic ability) is intrinsically capable of generating psionic energy through cognition and relevant stimuli, forming a Psionic Network. The energy is naturally produced by Psions but may be reproduced and manipulated artificially by hardware that emulates the workings of a Psionic Network.</p> <p>Due to the inherent adaptability of psiokineticism, the operation of psionics has a diversified range, similarly to traditional thaumaturgical abilities. Such as manipulatory manifestations (manipulating the physical characteristics and qualities of psionic energy), remote manipulations, ontokinetic manipulations (manifestation of psionic energy to "bend" the immediate reality through materialisation or transmutation of substance).</p> <p>Moreover, extrasensory perceptions, as per the example of clairsentience (the ability to process factual specific information in the form of experimental or Qualia<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> experience may be achieved through Psionics.</p> <p>Telepathy is a complex field to be characterised.

I'll tell you everything.<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup></p> <p>As you already know, the modern man navigates amongst countless websites and hyperlinks. Let's see; it was… 2006 or some time near that. Oliver Lloyd, Oscar Stephan and Lex McNeill, MIT's three aspiring prodigies, constructed a 3-D model of cyberspace, similar to constructing a giant universe. While doing so, they discovered a pattern rather… peculiar, a pattern about the correlation of the real world and the messages/comments shared online.</p> <p>I assume you're uninterested after seeing your fair share of all sorts of hideous SCP instances, saying, "What is this? Another one of those cyber-based reality-altering SCPs?" I understand. I was like that. That's precisely why I am having such a hassle.</p> <p>Anyways, the McNeil guy started an independent analysis of that pattern. The results were horrifying. The apparent patterns alone counted up to the thousands. When 10% of the 3D network model was complete, McNeil checked the web pages that fit his "pattern". It looked like… McNeil originally named it "the Treeroot effect", from its name.</p> <p>The "Treeroot" was rendering the world worse, more serious. Not all was known, but there was a statistically noticeable correlation. When the Treeroot reached a secret community of lowlives, sexual violence arrest rates of that country skyrocketed starting from the next month. When it reached the website for an environmental protection group, the rainforest of Malaysia started to disappear. McNeil felt something strange, but he didn't alert his colleagues just yet. He wasn't sure about the correlation just yet.</p> <p>Then, one day, post-grad student and Foundation agent Mikhail Sergeyevich Fyodorov caught wind of the news. After meeting with McNeil, the two realised that the "Treeroot" was hiding the severity of the situation. To an aspiring biologist's eyes, the phenomenon looked like an amoeba or macrophage spreading about. He felt the need to make a model of this "Treeroot", no, "Amoeba" spreading. Mikhail instantly invited Mcneil and his friends to the Foundation.</p> <p>I rambled on for too long. <em>(The response team would most likely be yawning behind you. Isn't that strange? Actually, they are my direct inferiors. Keep calm and carry on.)</em> This horrible amoeba, no, cybernetic macrophage reaches its appendages to random websites. When someone sees a specific scroll of a website 'contaminated' by SCP-056-KO, it leeches on their imagination and (possibly) strengthens itself, along with causing whatever it is written on the real world, to some extent. When it became clear that SCP-056-KO was behind multiple international events, it was given the class Euclid.</p> <p>Now, you will realise, at least a bit, why I told you so desperately not to read the page. At first, the Foundation monitored creepypasta sites, SF author sites, horror novel contests, literature wikis, and other literature related websites of schools or communities, shuddering at the fact that whenever the root reaches its hands on such pages, there is one more SCP that the Foundation needs to secure. However, <strong>the Foundation forgot to monitor SCiPNET itself.</strong></p> <p>Maybe… I don't know, there might have been a security breach, or SCP-056-KO is simply too strong for SCiPNET to fight off. We've been backstabbed. Foundation researchers, wandering around countless [DATA EXPUNGED] and [REDACTED], conjured up all sorts of imaginations while seeing those censored parts. <sub>Yes, I'd have to admit.</sub> We could be researchers, containment experts, or et cetera, but at the same time <strong>we are authors who can imagine unspeakable things from censorship.</strong> Now the entire world is in danger, just because this thing gained access to SCiPNET.

The latest tests done on D-Class with anterograde amnesia also had negative results.</em> - Korea SCiPNET Database Manager (Deputy)</p> <p><strong>[ Archived Containment Protocols ]</strong></p> <p>A list of web pages affected by SCP-056-KO is kept to monitor their view count and accessing IP address. Foundation personnel are to disguise as college students conducting surveys and ask civilians who read the website about what possible dangers they can imagine. A rescue team is sent to the predicted location of disaster to minimise casualties. The page is to be shut down from the source level immediately after confirmation. When needed, collaboration with local culture or communication agencies can be executed.</p> <p>To minimise its exposure to civilians and better understand SCP-056-KO's physiology and build a model of its proliferation of influence, Mobile Task Force Yota-100 "A Better World" is organised. MTF Yota-100 is composed of programmers and hackers dedicated to fight against SCP-056-KO. The unit explores attack routes by any means possible for potentially dangerous expansion of influence. In addition, the unit is to proceed with the establishment of cybernetic models and big data related to the activities of SCP-056-KO.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-056-KO is an entity believed to exist in cyberspace, which resembles an amoeba when visualised as a three-dimensional network of web pages and hyperlinks.</p> <p>Currently, there are thousands of confirmed web pages affected by SCP-056-KO, and the number of people exposed to SCP-056-KO is unknown. However, there is an optimistic theory that there are people unaffected by the anomaly in certain conditions. Animal testing did not yield any data, at least from species other than human.</p> <p>SCP-056-KO spreads its influence on a specific section of a webpage to "infect" it. People visually coming in contact with the page share their cognitive system with SCP-056-KO by means unknown, while copying of extracting creations of the viewer's imagination. Richer imaginations lead to more absorption, and more extreme imaginations cause more dangerous ideas to be absorbed. <em>(This is an excerpt from Researcher Lex McNeill's thesis. However, the thesis is currently under peer review.)</em></p> <p>SCP-056-KO is thought to have the ability to partially realise what imagination it absorbed. Thanks to prior research, links between the entity and individual cases of large-scale accidents, natural disasters and sensational events have been confirmed, but how much influence the entity has on mundane crimes or usual social problems is unclear.</p> <p>The most widely accepted theory is that the entity has a physical form; some researchers even claim that the entity is a hivemind moving to fit a specific purpose. On the other hand, some claim that it is merely a series of events, and it is unnecessary to explain it as an entity, but rather it is a pattern misrecognised.</p> <p><strong>[ Additional Content of SCiPNET Security Breach ]</strong></p> <p>How SCP-056-KO noticed SCiPNET and disrupted the security system is disputed. Researcher McNeil commented on this matter:</p> <blockquote> <p>…My main concern is the possibility that someone imagined a fictional organisation like the Foundation, and the database storing it was attacked. SCP-056-KO grasped their image, used it to bypass all security measures, leaping straight onto our database. If we succeed in explaining the mechanism… I think we would have clues to how SCP-056-KO builds its influence.</p> </blockquote> <p>As the SCiPNET security breach incident poses a significant threat to the entity's containment, the proposal to pinpoint the Foundation database, the SCiPNET itself as the centre of containment, has been accepted. As such, SCP-056-KO was re-classified to Keter. A scenario in which the Foundation's various censorship activities amplifies the imagination of personnel, ultimately leading to the end of the world due to SCP-056-KO's activities, has been proposed.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong></p> <p><strong>"Operation Apoptosis" Report</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><sub>2008.11.14.</sub><br/> <sub>MTF Yota-100 "A Better World"</sub></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>Operation Apoptosis</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>1st Operation Report: PLAN A</strong></p> <p><strong>Goal:</strong> Expose specially designated personnel to SCP-056-KO, weakening its catastrophic anomaly to the level of Safe class entities or Anomalous Objects.</p> <p><strong>Contents:</strong> A specially picked D-Class personnel was trained for a year, boosting his imagination and forcing him to imagine a preset scenario compulsively. Conditioning of induced Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder was possible. The preset scenario included events such as SCP-056-KO's expansion stopping, its departure from SCiPNET, complete management of previously affected websites by the Foundation, and Foundation researchers throwing an outdoor party with chants of joy. D-10054 successfully finished the one-year-long training. He then proceeded to obsessively and compulsively imagine the scenario, dosed with high amounts of tranquilising agents and other neuroactive drugs.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> D-10054 was successfully exposed to SCP-056-KO's SiPNET page. However, the expected result did not happen. After a week of laborious search, the Foundation found out that A████ A█████, who detained and violently raped his younger cousin for three months, was arrested by the local law enforcement. The victim was stoned to death by her relatives as honour killing. Research of D-10054's past actions revealed that D-10054, imprisoned initially as a political prisoner, exerted sexual desires towards his younger cousin sister. The relevance between the incident and this operation is disputed. There is a possibility that the scenario D-10054 "thought of in the past" might have been true.</p> <p><strong>Analysis:</strong> Regardless of this operation's aftermath, the first operation did not bear any expected results.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>2nd Operation Report: PLAN B</strong></p> <p><strong>Goal:</strong> Expose specially designated personnel to SCP-056-KO, weakening its catastrophic anomaly to the level of Safe class entities or Anomalous Objects.</p> <p><strong>Contents:</strong> Nine children (age 4 to 6, eight times more than needed) of Foundation employees with security rank two or lower were taken without the parents' consent. The Foundation Cognitive Development Research Facility interviewed them, ordered them by vividness of imagination, and took the first. The child is then exposed to a similar scenario to PLAN A, in which SCP-056-KO was explained as comical and childish as possible. Inducing mental or emotional trauma to aid the process was unnecessary, but stabilisers could have been administered within an acceptable range of side effects when needed.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Loss of classified information assets amounting over [DATA EXPUNGED] and 36 anomalous objects. No expected results reported in any way.</p> <p><strong>Analysis:</strong> The execution of "PLAN B" caused a tremendous loss of Foundation assets. Re-discussing any severe damage "it" caused in its rampage is deemed unnecessary. It was hilarious to see it sliding down a rainbow to Site-122 parking lot and eat cotton candy, but I would like to emphasise the comedy ended there. Plan Apoptosis failed. Amendments of exposed limitations necessary for further operations.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Dispatch log 056-KO-3</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Dispatch Date:</strong> 06.04.2010<br/> <strong>Personnel:</strong> Agent ██████ Kang and two other agents of the Information Monitoring team.<br/> <strong>Coordinates:</strong> Longitude [REDACTED], Latitude [REDACTED]<br/> <strong>Contents:</strong></p> <p>A Level 3 warning "Serious" was issued during a Foundation web page monitoring. Three agents hiding their identities were dispatched and captured an amateur novelist named ███ ██████ (20 y.o.) at Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The team confirmed a record of the novelist accessing a page affected by SCP-056-KO. The team conducted a brief interrogation of the novelist and was given a copy of a freshly written chapter of a novel. The novelist didn't seem to have been directly exposed to any SCP entities. C-class amnestics were administered, and the novelist was released with caution.</p> <p>Attached below are the title of the novel and chapter.

No, they were going about their day, checking clipboards, attending meetings, performing experiments. I tried to get Everwood's attention, but they only chuckled and straightened my hat.

Due to the nature of the potential threat, the O5 Council called an emergency department heads meeting at Site-01 for the following day, allowing time for urgent research. The following conclusions were reached:</p> <ul> <li>The Department of Containment reported that its agents are instructed to first attempt communication in English with individuals within the Veil of Secrecy, and no agent of theirs would have instigated a conversation with Agent Gutierrez in Spanish. They also noted that "Hello, how are you, friend?" is in no way an acceptable greeting while following established protocol. They further noted that they do not employ talking crabs. The DoC outlined over one dozen possible containment strategies, none of which carried any significant chance of success without the acquisition of more detailed information on the status of the anomaly;</li> <li>The Temporal Anomalies Department reported that all signatories of the <em>Multi-Foundation Pact of 1981</em> had been consulted on incidences of their Sites going dark. While over four hundred such losses were reported, none involved complete disappearance or talking crabs. The Spider Crab Protection Foundation offered to send a diplomatic envoy. The TAD recommended against this action, as the use of spider crabs in baseline reality Japanese cuisine has been kept from the Spider Crab Foundation. The TAD concluded that if SCP-057-INT represents an outpost of an alternate multiversal Foundation, said Foundation must either be unknown to the coalition, have been rejected for membership, or have rejected membership themselves.

Everwood consulted their Group of Interest connections and determined that materials confiscated from Serpent's Hand operatives in 2022 had been digitized and stored in Site-57's database. These materials contained detailed instructions for a delicate thaumaturgical working capable of anchoring an area of space from an alternate multiversal plane in baseline reality, at the cost of an enormous expenditure of electrical power. They radioed this information to the plane.</p> <p>Marw convinced Site-57 that Agent Masterson and Researcher Dunwich were his 'hired stooges', and would be remaining in the plane. While the facility was occupied with entertaining its guest, Agent Masterson exploited inbuilt vulnerabilities to bypass its security systems and allow entry. Researcher Dunwich accessed the Site's reactor and performed a series of thaumaturgical interventions (with instructions supplied by the Everwoods' Serpent's Hand contacts) to prevent it from being utilized in this fashion again. He then returned to the plane, where he and Agent Masterson remained for the next seven hours.</p> <p>On reboarding the plane, Marw described his rendezvous with Site-57 thusly: "I sat on a warm server stack, she read me <em>The Maltese Falcon</em> out loud and did all the voices. I gave her the third degree, she gave me the runaround. She dimmed her lights, I killed three mice. Dames walk you into their lives, then shoo you out when you cough up on the carpet. We're all just one hairball from heartbreak in the end, friends."</p> <p>Site-57 sent a coded message to Facility-57 shortly thereafter, agreeing to reverse the translocation when signalled.

You clean up one place, you move on to the next. Facility-57 will be fine — humans are stupid, but as far as humans go, Everwood, Venceslao, and Von Braun are about the best you can get.

All civilians attempting to enter the internal area of SCP-057-PT must be extracted from the nearby vicinity. If any type of counter-assertion is demonstrated, the individual must be treated with Class-B amnestics. SCP-057-PT's provisional containment measures involve the installation of wall-cladding material thoroughly circulating the edifice, blocking any unauthorized individuals whilst protecting the integrity of the structure. The installation is currently located in a forest environment of the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. Although the edifice periodically moves in between locations, it has already been spotted by agents in three different states.</p> <p>The entrance preceding the installations must be guarded by two agents equipped with medium-to-heavy military firearms. The same equipment must be provided to the agents securing the external perimeter, which must be guarded by seven agents. A state of high-alert must be maintained even throughout the night when the peculiarities pertaining to the installation become temporarily non-existent.</p> <p>The reception area of the installation must be guarded by seven security agents armed with pistols — who are required to attend to the instances documented in <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Document-057AB</strong></span>.

The structure hosts four pharmacies, thirty-five medical offices, five kitchens, one storage facility, twenty-five office rooms, and eight laboratories; the veracity of whether these facilities have been used to the performance of the activities they are destined for is inconclusive, although it is theorized that these rooms have been used for the conduction of experiments relating to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Of note, at the external gardens, there is a three-meter wall with a six-meter plat in which groups of six <em>Prunus dulcis</em> (almond trees) are displaced in segments of three, blossoming independent of the current season.</p> <hr/> <p>A significant amount of the installation's internal walls are covered by a rugous material analogous to a type of concrete; an equally relevant amount of surfaces are drawn with symbols of unknown exordium, though similar to catalogued arcane engravings, due to its innumerable idiosyncrasies. In the vicinities in which experiments were conducted, it is possible to observe a series of codes and names, cross-referencing one another and the engravings. These epithets are written in English, thus alluding to the possibility that SCP-057-PT may have been present in English-speaking countries.</p> <p>The location does not display anomalies when visualised externally. Nevertheless, commencing the vespertine period, it is possible to notice the apparition of two sapient instances: SCP-057-PT-1 — a female entity taking on the role of a nurse; SCP-057-PT-2 — a male entity taking on the role of a scientist or, periodically, a proper medical doctor.</p> <p>After this event, every individual with any type of ailment<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> — physical or psychological — within a seven meter radius in the instances's line of sight will be transported to an illuminated room. In that room, the individual will be connected to a machine of unprecedented origin that will unravel the personality and memories of the subject, analysing and judging its previous actions.</p> <p>If the subject has displayed an adequate and amicable relationship with the individuals that have been present in its life, it will be healed from all its ailments, including terminal diseases; these subjects do not feel discomfort or fear when whilst undergoing the probing events, considering the primary instances and the environment as "pleasant". Though, if the subject has displayed an inadequate and inimical relationship towards the individuals relevant to his life, it will experience great discomfort and aversion to both instances and the environment, undergoing a complete thaumaturgic-transmutative process that will transform the subject into one of the following secondary instances:</p> <p><strong>SCP-057-PT-3:</strong> Is characterised as a powerful light with a silver triangle in its centre, releasing rays of illuminating light with an intensity of one-hundred-thousand lumens. Anyone standing within a ten meter radius of the object is affected with extreme ocular discomfort (even whilst not maintaining visual contact), followed by temporary or permanent blindness.</p> <p>Any exemplary of this instance must be dispatched by the STF-PT57-α, utilising the rapid-response high-opacity visual equipment at their disposal.</p> <p><strong>SCP-057-PT-4:</strong> Is characterised as a replica of the microorganism <em>Streptococcos pneumoniae</em> with thirty centimetres of height by twenty centimetres of width, and exactly one kilogram of weight. If a subject fixates its gaze or stands in the same unobstructed environment as SCP-057-PT-4, the subject will suddenly be whelmed by asphyxia and incessant, compulsory coughing, dying due to lung obstruction three minutes after the manifestation of the symptoms.</p> <p>The organism is extremely fragile against excessive heat; for that reason, the STF-P1-α has been geared with controlled incendiary rapid-response equipment for deployment in case that terminating the instances with projectiles is not plausible.</p> <hr/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ A recovered missive from SCP-057-PT-2</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close.</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>A recovered missive from SCP-057-PT-2.</p> <blockquote> <p>Mary,<br/> I have never felt the most profound and forlorn corners of my mind so altercated in such a manner as they are right now.

The current political conflicts of our dear country against foreign forces are leaving us stranded in a storm without the necessary supplies to survive it.

It seemed to me that the man was quite affluent despite commenting on his humble origins, hailing from a rural environment, ascending to his status through sweat and labour; such is the continuous realisation of the characteristic effort employed by farmers. He told me about wonders, emphasizing everything he said with exaggerated gestures and detailed instructions of what I should do.

I don't know if all of this happens under veils and that the other functionaries are aware of what is happening or if only a select group of individuals knows what type of activities are performed in here.</p> <p>What I'm trying to say: I met with a figure I had never seen before, but by the degree of authority ostented by the man, I believe him to be one of the owners of the hospital. He calmly invited me to his office, asked me to feel comfortable and help myself to some of his coffee.</p> <p>He spoke of deliriums, of non-existent things, and those that were, put simply, unimaginable. He spoke of the human evolution through the most… sanguinary methods, and kept emphasizing and boasting about a place called the "Scientific Wing", where everything was planned and performed.</p> <p>I exhibited no expression. Only thanked him for the hints and left the room, feeling my stomach turn upside-down. I vividly memorized his words; I have a bad feeling every time I remember them. Those words spoke of anomalies that contend with the laws of nature. Thaumaturgy and telekinesis were a few of the bizarre inanities he spoke of.</p> <p>He said that the perfect world would be comprised by anomalies such as weasels that shred and disintegrate humans, spears that can perforate the skies, portals to different dimensions…</p> <p>And everything would be achieved through the cruelest experiments.</p> <p>In principle, I thought that those were only daydreams and illusions from a tired soul. But I accidentally stumbled upon the aforementioned "Scientific Wing". You know naught what I witnessed. Tests and mechanical paraphernalia scattered about; some of those technologies simulated organs, others dilacerated animals. Medics and scientists with impure gazes watched that macabre spectacle, throughout filled with death and tragedy. It is incredible what humans can do to reach their objectives.</p> <p>And I'll only say this: goodbye. Your mission is to help me, help us. I beg of you. I will not be able to write anymore, as my typewriter is running out of ink-ribbon, and I can hear the soldiers marching towards the hospital.

The two keys of the containment locker are currently in possession of Dr. Baum, the current Chief of Security of Sector 11. Use of SCP-066-DE requires permission from Dr. Baum and may only take place in a testing chamber of safety class ER-2.</span> Following Incident #066-DE-I1, the secure containment procedures have been changed as follows: SCP-066-DE is to be contained within a quadruple-locked Class S4-safe, upon a pedestal 1 m in height, in a 3×3×3 m Standard Containment Chamber. The safe is to always be in view of surveillance cameras from all angles. Sensors will recognize whether or not the safe has been opened by all four keys simultaneously. Failing to do so will result in SCP-066-DE being destroyed by a thermite charge. Personnel who attempt to gain unauthorized access to the containment chamber or to the safe are to be questioned, amnesticized, and either reclassified as D-Class personnel or terminated. Currently, any use of SCP-066-DE is prohibited. In the event that its use is allowed at a later time, it must take place in the dedicated Class EDR-4 test chamber attached to the containment chamber.</p> <p>Should SCP-066-DE-1, SCP-066-DE-2, or anything similar manifest, the containment breach alarm is to be set off, the whole facility is to be put on lock down, and containment protocol 𝔐𝔞𝔤𝔲𝔰 shall be executed.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-066-DE is a book of approximately 300 pages titled "Das kleine Zauberbuch - Für Studenten und Absolventen der Magierakademie zu █████"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> It is composed of a red hardcover binding, an ISBN number on its back cover, and is written in numerous Fraktur, Antiqua and Symbol fonts, all of which are freely available on the Internet. It contains instructions for 115 spells, divided into the chapters of Battle Magic, Analysis, Healing, Protection, General Spells, Manipulation and Evocation, and an addendum with several runes, esoteric and alchemical symbols. The foreword contains a list of spells which "are taught at some other institutes" but are "not taught at ours and are not explained in this book", due to involving e.g. necromancy, the summoning of demons, or blood magic.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="ZauberbuchAufgeschlagen.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-wiki-de.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-066-de/ZauberbuchAufgeschlagen.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Spell: "Fire-Shield"</p> </div> </div> <p>When a spell is performed exactly as described in the book, the effects will manifest within realty; a list of tested spells can be found in <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/versuchsprotokoll-066-de-p1">Experiment log #066-DE-P1</a>. During casting, the conjurer has to be close to the book (circa 0.5 m, varying from person to person). Every spell has a cost, which is measured in the unspecified unit "T", and a level (Apprentice, Adept, Master, Grandmaster). Test subjects are only able to cast spells with low costs in the beginning. In case an inexperienced subject tries to cast a high cost spell, this may result in adverse effects, ranging from vertigo and/or nausea to death. With greater experience, spells of higher cost can be cast. Some spells contain warning notices about possible imponderables or instructions for members of the "Mages Academy of █████", such as an obligation to report any failed restorations of vampires and werewolves to the Principal's office.</p> <p><a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/protokoll-066-de-i1">Incident log #066-DE-I1 (Security clearance level 3/066-DE required)</a></p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong><br/> SCP-066-DE was found near the remnants of an unidentifiable person, cause of death seemingly being implosion. The ISBN-number lead to a print-on-demand service in Germany, in whose database the entire order had been irrecoverably deleted.</p> <p>The existence of a city or region named █████ is unknown. There is no information about a group called the "Mages Academy of █████". Their inclusion into the Groups of Interest list is suspended until their existence can be proven.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>Not only was this the most serious breach in this facility ever, but it could and should have been avoided. Beginning with the mistakes of a project manager, whose security measures were utterly inappropriate for a reality-bending Euclid Class SCP, through the ignoring of warning signs, to and attempt to boost the career of said manager with a Thaumiel Class SCP, come hell (literally) or high water. Add to this the laxness and lack of discipline of the security personnel. How can it be that somebody manages to get from level 3 to 5 undetected, kill the guards, and cross half the level, before breach alarm is set off, because they are celebrating a birthday in the security center instead of watching the monitors?<br/> Of course, we could demote those responsible to D-class or terminate them outright, but that would gain us nothing. Not including executions (and I'm intentionally not writing "terminations"!), we have already lost a project manager, an chief of security, almost 50 guards and MTF-members, an SCP, and a test-subject who should have been euthanized long ago. For what? Nothing! Nothing at all!<br/> Let this be a learning experience, to never be careless, and always to think of security first, then about your career.

The containment chamber itself must have soundproof walls. It is prohibited to place objects inside SCP-069-UA, to expose it to any sort of powerful sounds or musical melodies and to block the ability of the object to move, except during authorized testing. Experiments that involve placing SCP-069-UA in closed spaces less than 2 x 2 x 2 meters in size are prohibited.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-069-UA is a charcoal smoothing-iron, made of cast iron and weighing exactly 5.1 kg. The left side of the iron bears the inscription "Дата выпуска 1933"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> as well as the State Emblem of the Soviet Union. The iron itself was likely made at the time specified on the object- the anomalous properties were apparently acquired at a later date.</p> <p>Every day at 5:00 PM an event designated AEX-069 occurs. At the start of the event, SCP-069-UA rises above the ground to a height of 50 to 250 cm. Within the next four (4) minutes, the object flies around the area along a unique trajectory. Should event AEX-069 occur while SCP-069-UA is located indoors, it is to remain inside of the area. In case that adjacent rooms are available, the object can travel through up to 25 rooms on its path.</p> <p>It should be noted that the object counteracts attempts to disrupt its motion during AEX-069. Experiments have shown that, if at the beginning of AEX-069 the object was fastened to something (for example, with a chain), then, at the onset of the event, SCP-069-UA makes sharp moves that break the fixtures (in case of a chain, it tears a link apart). Fixtures of any strength tested so far were successfully broken. This event also occurs when SCP-069-UA attempts to avoid obstacles. For example, during one experiment, thirty 1 x 2 m sheets of glass were placed in SCP-069-UA's containment chamber. During the next AEX-069 event, the object did not collide with any of the glass sheets.</p> <p>At the start of every AEX-069 event, SCP-069-UA emits a melody, referred to as SCP-069-M-UA. Usually, SCP-069-M-UA consists of the National Anthem of the Soviet Union; this version of SCP-069-M-UA is referred to as SCP-069-M1-UA. Also, if SCP-069-UA contains charcoal (or another flammable material) at the onset of AEX-069, said material will burn completely over the course of the event, emitting the expected amount of heat for the given material. Charcoal and many other substances that can be considered fuel burn down completely, without any ash or residue. In the case that SCP-069-UA is filled with non-combustive material, results may vary greatly, though they depend on material's properties.</p> <p><strong>Discovery:</strong> The object was discovered in a warehouse of an abandoned factory in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, [REDACTED], which has been closed since 1991. According to further investigations, a certain [REDACTED], formerly a category 5 welder<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, later transferred to work as a guard at the warehouse for health reasons, had disappeared shortly before the factory was shut down. The subject was also an active member of a local CPSU<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> cell. Some time later MTF "Gossip Writers" found a story about a "possessed" iron on http://███████, a 'creepypasta' site. The story had several photos attached, three (3) of which depicted SCP-069-UA floating, and a video of AEX-069 that was shot using a cell phone. Initial analysis of the photos deemed them most likely genuine. One of the eyewitnesses also testified that he broke his hand when he tried to grab SCP-069-UA while it was in the air. After that, the object was successfully recovered by Foundation agents, and all eyewitnesses were treated with amnestics. A cover story, describing the "flying iron" as fiction, was posted on the site.</p> <hr/> <p>Personnel with clearance 2/069 and above are allowed to read Document E2-069 - partial experiment logs:</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Open file E2-069.html</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close file E2-069.html</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <p><strong>Experiment №:</strong><br/> <strong>Date:</strong><br/> <strong>Procedure:</strong><br/> <strong>Result:</strong></p> </blockquote> <hr/> <blockquote> <p><strong>Experiment №:</strong> E069-A█<br/> <strong>Date:</strong> 1/06/2011<br/> <strong>Procedure:</strong> Playing the national anthem of Soviet Union during an AEX-069 event.<br/> <strong>Result:</strong> The national anthem was turned on, SCP-069-UA stopped emitting SCP-069-M1-UA for 1.5 seconds and then resumed.

As normal felling is impossible, if a specimen is found outside of the Foundation, it is to be removed immediately by Sangrok Construction Planning Inc., a Foundation front company, under the guise of roadwork, building maintenance or other construction projects.</p> <p>Unconditioned subjects find it difficult to distinguish SCP-071-KO from normal streetlights. The Foundation has thus created a manual, instructing readers how to distinguish between regular streetlights and SCP-071-KO. The ten specimens currently kept in Foundation custody are to receive electric power and status checks twice a day. Any seed or sapling produced by the specimens is to be terminated.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-071-KO is a species of tree, botanically belonging in the family <em>Cupressaceae</em>. Smaller specimens generally measure around 3m but can grow to as much as 12m at their tallest, with even greater heights being possible under the right conditions. Botanically speaking, it is undoubtedly a plant, which can be verified via microscopic observation. Despite this, instances appear surprisingly similar to standard streetlights. Mostly, the tree grows upright with hollow trunks. The xylem resembles electric wiring and the tree absorbs electricity by way of its root system through these xylems. The treetop holds a translucent, bioluminescent organ, which emits light at low luminous intensity under 3-4 lux in order to attract insects.</p> <p>The crown is notable for its total lack of leaves, and it appears incapable of photosynthesis. Instead, SCP-071-KO grows by absorbing electricity. CO and NO<sub>n</sub>, mainly from vehicular exhaust, serves to boost the growth of SCP-071-KO. Being facultative insectivores, consuming insects also aid in the absorption of nutrients. Although it is unknown exactly which organ performs the insectivorous activity, insect carcasses often pile up inside the bioluminescent organ, and this organ as such is presumed to play a part in SCP-071-KO's insectivory. As a consequence, it is usually found in the urban environments rich in electric lines and vehicular exhaust fumes. It may also be found in unexpected locations such as on mountainsides or in the middle of open fields.</p> </div></body></html>
SCP-072-TH	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="scp-072-th-1.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-th.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-072-th/scp-072-th-1.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Photograph of SCP-072-TH taken by a drone prior to Event 072-TH-B</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-072-TH</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> As it is impossible to relocate and contain SCP-072-TH in the Foundation's facilities, current containment efforts are focused on isolating ███████ Island. Outpost-72-TH has been established on a nearby island. Security personnel are to turn away any civilians approaching the area within 2 km radius from the island. At least one combat team with heavy weaponry must be stationed in Outpost Site 72-TH at all times in case of an SCP-072-TH attack. Seabed vibration sensors have been installed around the island. Any personnel wishing to approach the island within 100 m require written permission from the project director.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-072-TH are a group of animated full plate armors similar to 13th century knight armor. As the Foundation is unable to subdue or neutralize SCP-072-TH and due to the objects' hostility, currently there is no sample of SCP-072-TH in the possession of the Foundation. Although all instances of SCP-072-TH appear to be empty, they can move on their own with surprisingly high agility and speed, consistent to a human of similar size who practices athletic activities on a regular basis. They also have higher strength than humans. SCP-072-TH is much more durable when compared to non-anomalous steel armor of same design. Although high explosives and heavy bludgeoning can cause the armor to be badly dented and firearms being able to penetrate them, the Foundation is so far unable to cause enough damage to break even a small part out of the armor. They can move with full efficiency regardless of the damage. There is a hypothesis that each instance of SCP-072-TH is a unique entity. Their current numbers are unconfirmed, but estimated to be at least 40 instances. It was initially believed that SCP-072-TH can restore damage on their own, but tracking a damaged suit with a remote device indicates that they keep reserve armors within the castle and SCP-072-TH can transfer its anomalous properties from the damaged armor to a reserve. It is unknown what happens to the damaged armor.</p> <p>SCP-072-TH is capable of speaking in an unknown language. All attempts to communicate with them ended in failure. It was noted that SCP-072-TH never uses vocal methods to communicate with each other, yet they display the ability to work as a team. There is a hypothesis that SCP-072-TH are not sentient and their speech is merely an automatic warning message. SCP-072-TH has combat skills comparable to a trained soldier, and is known to use tactics including usage of traps, set up of ambushes, and using guerrilla tactics by taking advantage of the environment. SCP-072-TH were armed with only a broadsword initially, but are found using other medieval weapons since Incident 072-TH-B. The weapons used by SCP-072-TH have a hardness anomaly similar to the armor itself. Prior to Incident 072-TH-B, it was possible to make limited exploration using an aerial drone as SCP-072-TH would ignore it unless the drone would attempt to get into the castle, at which point SCP-072-Th would chase it off. This made it effective to survey most of the island including the outer wall of the castle. However, SCP-072-TH has aggressively attacked aerial drones since Incident 072-TH-B, as well as destroying all remote survey devices. There is no report of SCP-072-TH getting into the body of water surrounding the island, although they were observed to patrol or stand guard near the coast.</p> <p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-072-TH was first discovered in Castle ██████████████, a tourist attraction on the ███████ Island after a report of missing tourists during a tour trip. The local officers proceeded to search the location and discovered an undocumented secret passage. The search team encounter SCP-072-TH afterward, resulting in █ casualties among the castle's staff and officers. An embedded agent within the police department informed the Foundation with a report of how they were attacked by animated armors. After an investigation team had confirmed the anomaly, ███████ Island has been declared a dangerous area in cooperation with the government, with a cover story of unstable underground rock formations and toxic gas leaks. All casualties had suffered from the gas's hallucinogenic effects and killed themselves. All witnesses have been administered amnestics and released.</p> <p>According to official records, the ███████ Island was used to imprison persons of significant status during the period of the Middle Ages, including individuals accused of practicing black magic. It was abandoned until it was recently renovated for tourism purposes less than a year before the discovery incident. There is no record of anomalous activity prior to the discovery.</p> <p><strong>Incident 072-TH-B</strong><br/> ██/██/████: MTF-ค "Don Quixote" lead by Agent ███████ was assigned to the exploration of Castle ██████████████. The team was supposed to enter the castle keep by helicopter-drop as it's deemed to be safe from SCP-072-TH. However, the helicopter was shot down by a group of SCP-072-TH using heavy crossbows<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. Three members of MTF-ค were rescued afterward, and they confirmed that other personnel were killed either by the crash or by SCP-072-TH<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. During the escape, the Foundation rescue craft was hit by several bolts from a SCP-072-TH's heavy crossbow. Analysis of these bolts reveal that they're made from non-anomalous steel which is inconsistent to the damage upon the craft. There is a hypothesis that the anomalous effect of SCP-072-TH is either limited to the area around ███████ Island or SCP-072-TH themselves. The full report of Incident 072-TH-B is still in the compiling and review process.</p> <p>Afterwards, an aerial survey revealed that the wreckage of the Foundation's helicopter has disappeared although the crashing damage to the landscape is still visible. The possibility of SCP-072-TH utilizing heavy equipment such as a siege weapon or getting off the island by walking underwater is being considered. The containment procedures have been updated and a proposal to reclassify the object class is currently under review.</p> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

With the exception of a few scratches on the bottom of the object, it is indistinguishable from other products of the same model. The object can be disassembled and reassembled normally, but no anomalous properties were observed when some of its parts were replaced.</p> <p>SCP-073-KO's anomalous properties manifest when a photograph is taken with the object. Photographs taken through the object do not show the subject as it is, and exhibit several differences compared to standard photographs:</p> <ul> <li>Humans and animals in the photographed space are not captured.</li> <li>Plants with short life spans are not captured in the photographed space, whereas plants with long life spans are captured as they are or have grown further.</li> <li>Small artifacts in the photographed space are infrequently captured, and occasionally other small artifacts are captured within the space.</li> <li>Large artifacts in the space photographed often appear to be much older and are often photographed as partially or entirely covered by vegetation.</li> </ul> <p>Due to their differences, photographs taken via SCP-073-KO are usually described as "ruined". <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">The object's anomalous properties are innocuous and can be determined to be of no value, allowing free use by Foundation personnel.</span></p> <p>SCP-073-KO was found in the home of a photographer in Daegu, Republic of Korea. After his death, the anomaly of the object became known in the process of arranging the artifacts by relatives.

The cell is provided with a table and an electrical outlet, to which it must remain connected in order to avoid resets of SCP-079-IT-1. SCP-079-IT must be at least 0.7 meters away from any technology produced after 1982, except for experiments approved by <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/organizzazione-interna">DRIA</a>. To access it, a request must be made to the Logistics and Timing board of Site Vulcano, which will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. Access is granted to staff of Level 1 and above.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-079-IT is a model M-20 computer manufactured by Olivetti in 1982, lacking a hard disk. Its CPU is incapable of reading floppy disks: on the other hand, the SCP-079-IT is able to interact with other electronic devices, through a forced connection with them. SCP-079-IT is able to do this by using electronic networks, both private and public<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. Once connected, one is capable of interacting with SCP-079-IT via its connected device, in the rare cases where the SCP-079-IT operating system, PCOS, allows it. In most cases, the SCP-079-IT interacts with the connected device, copying its processes and codes and applying them to itself<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. Most of the time, SCP-079-IT is unable to process the collected data, resulting in a crash and reboot. Once restarted, SCP-079-IT does not remember the information it previously absorbed and will attempt to connect again.</p> <p>In addition to the operating system, there is another preinstalled program in SCP-079-IT. It is a real-time simulation game set in Ancient Rome, which for graphic<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup> and processual capabilities should not be able to start on an M20. The game, from here on SCP-079-IT-1, will start when <tt>carica"0:0"</tt> is typed on the home screen: the command will automatically create a new world, that is a rapidly expanding Roman city. As it turns out, the game has no home screen and no credits, making it impossible to discover its author.<br/> The purpose of the game seems to be to observe the development of the city. During the game, the city will expand in both buildings and population, give rise to a more complex system of government, and bring out certain personalities as well as typicalities of the place.<br/> SCP-079-1 is devoid of any graphical interface and options. This not only prevents one from acting technically on it, adjusting the volume or zooming, but also from taking part in the game itself and saving it. For this reason, the game will start over every time SCP-079-IT crashes.<br/> In the standard speed each second is equivalent to one second in real-time: further speeds, since the dedicated command keys are not present, are impossible to reach.</p> <p><strong>Recovery:</strong> SCP-079-IT has been acquired in an auction in Rome. Members of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/squadre-speciali-mobili#SIR-I">SIR-I Aureæ Notitiæ</a> had gone there to view a supposedly anomalous item, which turned out to be a simple necklace of fake diamonds. SCP-079-IT was an early item, an heirloom that the batter's grandfather was very fond of, according to the batter himself. Having invited those present to play SCP-079-IT-1, a member of the β Squad, Agent Moiro, agreed and turned on the PC. SCP-079-IT then manifested its anomalous properties in front of the agent by inputting the ringtone of his smartphone as game audio. SCP-079-IT reset itself almost instantly, thereby evading the attention of the batter. It was made to believe that the ringtone was coming from the audience.<br/> The piece was purchased at ███ euros, due to the disinterest of those present. The batter has been interviewed, although it hasn’t been possible to obtain further information, as he confessed the PC was stolen and the story invented.</p> <p><strong>Experiments on SCP-079-IT:</strong> The most relevant experiments conducted on SCP-079-IT follow. Only experiments in which SCP-079-IT did not crash due to the amount of information, or in which important details were revealed before that happened, are marked.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Test 1, 19/10/19██ - Range of action of SCP-079-IT</strong></span></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Subject:</strong> A Bluetooth speaker<br/> <strong>Procedure:</strong> The speaker has been placed next to SCP-079-IT<br/> <strong>Results:</strong> The SCP-079-IT-1's in-game audio changed, following the music coming out of the speaker.<br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> <em>I wonder what’s its range.</em> Dr. Limares</p> </blockquote> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Test 12, 07/02/200█ - Type of technology it comes into contact with</strong></span></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Subject:</strong> A walkie-talkie from the ‘70s<br/> <strong>Procedure:</strong> The walkie-talkie has been placed next to SCP-079-IT<br/> <strong>Results:</strong> No effects.<br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> <em>SCP-079-IT does not appear to be able to connect to devices older than itself.

SCP-079-IT-1 continued to run behind the background that had become transparent, although very slowly. SCP-079-IT crashed after 2 minutes.<br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> <em>SCP-079-IT-1 doesn’t seem to be strictly correlated to SCP-079-IT, with the ability to run even when the former manifests its anomalous properties. Maybe SCP-079-IT-1 is not anomalous at all in itself?

Thinking it was an experiment done before, I was about to delete it when I realized what was happening.</p> <p>An immense quantity of papyrus sheets had been placed on the ground. Several men in slave tunics, many of whom had just arrived with the rich lords, stood around it, supervised by some soldiers. Most of the sheets were already full of writing - very large so that they could be seen from the sky. When those men stood up, not long afterward, the writings formed a meaningful text in classical Latin.</p> <p>I studied it in high school, thus I kind of understood what were they saying, though to avoid misunderstandings I copied and sent it to Historical-Archaeological Section for a translation. I did not specify its true origin: as far as they know, it is a project left by Dr. Dossi, one of the ideas he failed to test.</p> <p>This is the translation I received:</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Oh, elusive deities,</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Why do you rage so hard against mortals who are incapable of fighting as you do?</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Why do you shun the gifts we give you, why do you not participate in the festivals we celebrate in your honour?</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Why do you not respond to our divine brothers, who intercede on our behalf, their hair torn off, their clothes tattered for this undeserved punishment?</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>If you answer, it is an unknown language, never read by man. And your powers, however immense, cannot go beyond the borders of this humble town.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Such cruel behaviour, worthy of the fiercest barbarians, does not belong to powerful gods who care about the Roman people.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Therefore, we invite you to cease your evil deeds and to leave these lands. Our gods are powerful: they rule the sky, the waters, and Tartarus. One of them holds this pleasant place, the cradle of his childhood, very dear to his heart and will not hesitate to fight for it.</em></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em>Janus Bifrons is on our side. And us, in his Order on this appointed day, we will not hesitate to follow him into battle.</em></p> <p>The reference to <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/gruppi-di-interesse#OI">Ordo Iani</a>, I believe, is obvious. It could be a coincidence, I grant you, but I stopped believing in coincidences nineteen years ago. Rather, I believe that the experiments we carried out were intended as gestures from a deity, or demon, or whatever.<br/> Which struck me as odd at the time: from what I was told in orientation, the creation of the Order had to do with a volcano. I can't remember how, as that was a long time ago and I've never interacted with the GoI in my work, but I'm sure it had something to do with it.</p> <p>However, I was wrong: when I went to review the documents for the new arrivals, there was no trace of the volcano. I copy the relevant part of the Introduction/4635/GOI:</p> <p><em>It was founded by the Roman Emperor Claudius in 43 AD. The monarch assembled a circle consisting of the best priests and generals of the time, with the task of investigating a political-religious affair. The documents produced in that early period, with the exception of the motto “Janus Bifrons is on our side”, have been lost, and the evidence dates from 79 AD., the year in which Emperor Titus entrusted the circle to the scholars.</em></p> <p>I asked for confirmation from the Diplomatic Affairs Section, and they sent me further documents, including a letter from the outgoing director, who confirmed the Introduction. It was Dr. Rossetti, a member of the Order, who gave a sense of the image of the volcano: in 79 AD there was the eruption of Vesuvius, which prompted the emperor to turn the circle into a study group instead of a war group against the unknown. She herself, however, could not give me any more information about the earlier period.<br/> Personally, I do not think documents were lost: simply enough, they haven’t been created yet.</p> <p>In fact, I strongly believe that the cause of this discrepancy is SCP-079-IT: when one influences it, they are not changing an imaginary world, contained in the computer, but the actual past. The various changes made there could then be reflected on this timeline and our knowledge of it, from a simple gesture such as a stone not previously present to the different origins of the Group of Interest. Or, to use a more understandable image, to the disappearance of the Colosseum.</p> <p>I do not know if it is possible to control these changes, or if it is possible to keep a record of them, as it is not my field. Therefore, I would ask for SCP-079-IT to be immediately transferred to <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/siti-italiani#Sito-Deus">Site Deus</a>: there they know better how to deal with space-time anomalies like SCP-079-IT.</p> <p>In case you missed the volcano issue yourself, I ask you this: before today, do you remember ever hearing the motto of the Order? Even better, do you remember <em>if</em> the Order had one?<br/> Let me anticipate your answer: before today, it didn't.</p> <p>Signed,<br/> Dr. Olivia Limares</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">New Special Containment Procedures for SCP-079-IT</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">Close document</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-079-IT must be contained in a room on top of tower 6 of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/siti-italiani#Sito-Deus">Site Deus</a>, accessible only with the key provided by director Michela Marchetti.

SCP-081-UA	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:400px;"><img alt="Deadbody_v002.0000.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-081-ua/Deadbody_v002.0000.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>SCP-081-UA in quiescence.</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-081-UA</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Safe/Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> The object should be stored in a dedicated drawer of Site ██'s morgue, at the temperature from +2 °C to +4 °C. For the purpose of conducting experiments and responding to the possible containment breaches, the inventory of Site ██ must contain a set of field or everyday officer uniform of the Russian Airborne Forces, model 2014, decorated with appropriate insignia and badges. Under no circumstances may the bag covering of the object be opened.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> Externally, the object constitutes an unmarked black body bag made of high-pressure polyethylene; several fusion spots may be observed, indicating previously damaged areas. Although currently there is no safe way to confirm this by direct visual observation, but tactile examination, as well as computer tomography data, indicate that the body bag contains a partially decomposed male corpse. Application of radiological examination methods is complicated by a significant number of small, irregularly-shaped metal objects residing inside the body. Nevertheless, their location, as well as the fragmentation of particular bones and ruptures of internal organs, indicate a violent death (see Post-mortem examination report PM-A- 081-UA).</p> <p>Manifestation of the object's anomalous properties depends on its temperature. At temperatures below +8 °C, SCP-081-UA is quiescent and cannot be distinguished from similar non-anomalous specimens. When the temperature exceeds the aforementioned mark, the object gradually acquires mobility, starting from its upper part and reaching the area of the lower extremities within ten minutes.</p> <p>Upon reaching full mobility, SCP-081-UA will attempt to assume an upright position; on success, the object will immediately begin moving east. The principle behind the faultless determination of the correct direction of movement is currently unknown; large-scale outdoor testing, including such in local magnetic anomalies, could not be conducted due to the security situation. Experiments conducted on the outskirts of Kyiv indicate minor (up to a millisecond) changes in its trajectory, depending on the location. It is believed that, by projecting the object's trajectory, it will be possible to determine its destination point; proper conditions for carrying out the necessary research are awaited.</p> <p>Usually, SCP-081-UA will attempt to move eastward regardless of obstructions in its path, bypassing land obstacles by the shortest route available and crossing the water ones. Due to the physical inability of the object to make the movements necessary for swimming, this normally ends with SCP-081-UA drifting downstream, followed by re-establishment of the trajectory upon reaching land. When encountering an obstacle that cannot be circumvented — ex., when entering the active state in an enclosed space — the object will stop moving in its normal direction. Instead, it will start chaotically moving within the accessible area, pushing things over, and headbutting windows and doors. It is believed that by doing so the object is trying to draw attention to itself, in order to enable the change of its dislocation and return to its route.</p> <p>Although under normal conditions SCP-081-UA will ignore humans and other living beings in its path, two significant exceptions exist. The first one is the object's aggressive reaction to any active attempts to prevent its movement. When provoked, the object will pursue the triggering subject until tactile contact is made, which in all recorded cases has resulted in the breach of the covering bag, followed by ████████████████████████████; in the light of the above, experiments of this kind are currently prohibited. The second exception is the object's reaction to persons in the officer's uniform of the Russian Airborne Forces. This reaction occurs most stably on the everyday and field uniform of the model, which has been adopted since 2014. In the presence of a person dressed in such, SCP-081-UA immediately stops moving and straightens its frontal part towards it. If there are several such persons, it will react on the person bearing the insignia of the highest rank; in the case of equal ranks — to the visually oldest. The object will then try to fulfill all commands of such person, regardless of their nature, danger to itself or the principle possibility of their completion. A particular experiment is noteworthy in this regard: agent Appel, dressed as a colonel of the Russian Airborne Forces, ordered the object to "disappear", while being in a closed room. Unable to leave the premises, it fell to the floor; after receiving criticism from agent Appel for failure to complete the task, SCP-081-UA huddled under the radiator, becoming increasingly agitated under the further comments, until the experiment was aborted due to the risk of breaching the integrity of the object's covering bag.</p> <p><strong>Circumstances of discovery:</strong> SCP-081-UA was discovered on 31 March 2022, in a dead-end siding of the Primysky terminal of the Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi Railway Station, after the section lost power due to the damaging of a high-voltage transmission line by a fragment of a downed Russian missile. Due to the lack of electricity, the temperature inside the refrigerated wagons, storing unidentified corpses from the Buchan district of the Kyiv region, neared +10 °C, leading to the transition of the object to its active state. A detachment of the National Guard of Ukraine encountered it on duty, when the object was already following the sleepers to the public railway. After an attempt to stop the object resulted in ████████████████████████████████████████████████, the incident was communicated to Site ██. Its specialists cleaned and decontaminated the affected area, isolating the anomaly in a freight wagon along the object's trajectory. On the night of 1 April, the air temperature dropped to +6 °C, which subsequently led to the object's return to quiescence. The wagon with the object was then transported to Area ██/5, where, after a week of monitoring, the initial containment procedures were established.</p> </div></body></html>

The item can be used only for testing purposes, with prior authorization needed from the research coordinator. Knowing the hypothetical risks related to the use of the object, SCP-082-IT can be worn only by D-Class personnel. Given the absence of anomalous activity when not used, its containment does not require any additional safety measures.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-082-IT is a bronze helmet of Corinthian design; although its creator and origins are still unknown, thermoluminescent dating<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> traces the origin near the 8th-century BCE., at the beginning of the Archaic Greece period. As shown by repeated experiments, SCP-082-IT seemingly appears to be devoid of any anomalous properties; once worn, however, it will enter its active state.</p> <p>An inscription written in Greek will appear on the front of the helmet, which reads: <em>"Και o σοφός και o δυνατός"</em> (<em>"Both the wise and the powerful"</em>, which can be interpreted as <em>"The one who knows is the one who holds power"</em>). The individual wearing SCP-082-IT will experience a hyperfunction of their cognitive processes, mainly affecting vigilance, ideation, memory, and intellect. The nature and intensity of these alterations vary according to the time spent on the head.</p> <ul> <li>From the start of the test to 6 hours (the "maniacal" phase): the subjects will show hyperactivity, rapid speech and low attention span; when given freedom of choice they'll prefer to dedicate themselves to activities that require the use of creativity (i.e.: writing or drawing), switching from one to the other in a disorganized manner.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>From 6 to 48 hours (the "performative" phase): the subject behaves more coherently and is now capable of focusing on specific activities. Standardized tests reveal an improvement in logical-mathematical, linguistic, visuospatial, and procedural intelligence performances, with every score being above average. 3-4 hours of sleep seem to be enough for adequate rest.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>From 48 hours to 5 days (the "wise" phase): the subject reaches intellectual levels no longer measurable through tests conceived for normal human beings, being capable of learning enormous quantities of information in a very short time period and executing any task with maximum efficiency (i.e.: learning from scratch to play an instrument or solving complex mathematical equations); they also develop an eidetic memory, allowing them to remember even the most insignificant details. The need to sleep is abolished altogether.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>From 5 to 7 days (the "encyclopedic" phase): the subject is capable of "remembering" information that they have never come to know before, which is virtually the entirety of human knowledge; notions are verbalized in response to specific questions but are also capable of emerging spontaneously, in the form of intrusive thoughts that interfere with the normal flow of thoughts.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>For information about longer duration tests see <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Incident 082/1971</span>.</li> </ul> <p>EEG highlights an uninterrupted and increasingly higher Beta and Gamma<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> wave brain activity, even with closed eyes; sedative and hypnotic drugs have little to no effect. Part of the waves originate from SCP-082-IT itself as if they "overwrite" those of the host; it's therefore not clear whether SCP-082-IT merely influences the minds of others or whether it possesses some form of consciousness itself. As soon as SCP-082-IT is removed, the alterations will cease and the individual will appear confused and disoriented, reporting memory loss regarding the period of use.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 082-IT (Recovery):</strong> SCP-082-IT was part of the private collection of [REDACTED], a rich and well-known collector of ancient artifacts, who purchased it on the black market from an unknown seller. Its anomalous properties have remained unobserved for a long period of time, until the man's child, 9 years old, decided to casually wear the helmet for fun; when the parents discovered him after several hours, the child had begun to manifest signs of an IQ far above the norm. The rumors about the "little genius" and the "miraculous helmet" reached the Foundation's agents, who then proceeded to cover up the news and confiscate SCP-082-IT.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▶ UPDATE: Incident 082/1971</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">◀◀◀ UPDATE: Incident 082/1971</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h1 id="toc0"><span>ATTENTION!</span></h1> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">By order of the <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/organizzazione-interna">Ethical-Moral Regulation Section</a> (SRE-M), access to the following document has been prohibited to personnel with an authorization lower than Level 4.

(83).</p> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> Verifying the effects of SCP-082-IT for periods longer than one week.</p> <p><strong>Setting:</strong> D-1971 is housed in a room with everything needed to test his performance (a table, a wall blackboard, various musical instruments and a library); the room comes with an attached bathroom, while a bed is considered superfluous. As already established in previous tests, the EEG's electrodes have been installed before wearing SCP-082-IT; liquids and nutrients, given the inability to feed, are supplied intravenously. Dr. Tagliani is assisted by two security officers.</p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1ST DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> Behavior doesn't vary significantly from other subjects'. As expected, the "maniacal" phase is followed by the "performative" one. By the end of the day, D-1971's I.Q. has increased over 50%, reaching the value of 128. <p><em><strong>Researcher's note:</strong> The first 6 hours have been a living hell, I've seen brats making much less of a mess. The room is full of papers smeared with attempts at abstract "art" and creative "writing". About that, I must remember to call a janitor to clean the walls.</em></p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">3RD DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> Beginning of the "wise" phase. After less than an hour spent leafing through a musical theory manual, D-1971 is capable, after a single listening, of executing an error-free performance by ear of Korsakov's <em>Flight of the Bumblebee</em> for piano. After being invited to choose a book from the library, D-1971 hesitates in front of Wittgenstein's <em>Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus</em>, only to discard it in favor of a series of volumes in the math section. In the late afternoon, D-1971 has now bridged the gap with more educated subjects and approaches the study of advanced texts. <p><em><strong>Researcher's note:</strong> It's alienating to see a person juggling between formulas and theorems that, not even two days ago, would have caused nothing more than a blank face. The variety of choices of the subjects leads me to think that the helmet is a catalyst for certain unexpressed tendencies. I wonder if, in another life, D-1971 would have been a successful pianist or mathematician. Right now I'll allow him to continue; who knows if something interesting will come out of it.</em></p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">4TH DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> At 2:37 A.M., D-1971 suddenly leaves his books and rushes to the blackboard, writing down a series of mathematical formulas; he stops just before sunrise, contemplating the results of his calculations, only to erase everything and start all over again. This happens multiple times in the following hours at irregular intervals. <p>At 15:13, D-1971 declares himself satisfied and announces that he has come up with the formulation of a theorem that confirms the Riemann hypothesis<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>.</p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">9TH DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> Despite the appearance of the intrusive thoughts typical of the "encyclopedic" phase, D-1971 has decided to keep focusing on mathematical problems. It has been about two days longer than the longest test previously conducted. <blockquote> <p><strong><Start of the Log></strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> Good morning, D-1971.</p> <p><strong>D-1971:</strong> <em>[Intent to copy from a sheet of paper onto the blackboard]</em> Hyvää huomenta paskiainen.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> Excuse me?</p> <p><strong>D-1971:</strong> I've said "good morning" in Finnish. Don't ask me how I know that, I just do.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> <em>[Writing in his notebook]</em> Interesting, the more this phase goes on, the more complex the acquired knowledge becomes.

They've started again, I can't work in these conditions!</p> <p><em>Dr. Tagliani turns towards the guards. Both are completely silent.</em></p> <p><strong><End of the Log></strong></p> </blockquote> <p><em><strong>Researcher's note:</strong> They said again and again that adding this much time to the test was useless, but they were damn wrong!

D-1971's mental readiness seems to be partially affected by this; furthermore, it seems that the subject is gradually losing interest in those same activities he previously was enthusiast about. <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">13TH DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> D-1971 interrupts his own research, refusing to continue; he also makes a feeble attempt to remove SCP-082-IT from his head, but he's immediately restrained. The deep apathetic state experienced by D-1971 is considered to be the beginning of a new stage, the "nihilistic" phase; Dr. Tagliani makes him wear a straitjacket to prevent other acts of defiance. <blockquote> <p><strong><Start of the Log></strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> I don't understand, D-1971. In a matter of days, you achieved something that many wouldn't be able to do in a lifetime. What’s stopping you now?</p> <p><strong>D-1971:</strong> <em>[In a flat tone]</em> For what purpose, doctor? It's pointless to keep on writing and writing and writing. This infernal helmet gives me every answer to every question within a few milliseconds. Theory of Everything? Nothing more than a child's nursery rhyme. Cure for cancer? It's baffling how they still haven't got it. Reality is an open book; the thing is, no one before me had the right lens to read it.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> <em>[Getting upset]</em> Even more so! Think about what we could achieve with similar knowledge in the right hands.</p> <p><strong>D-1971:</strong> <em>Right</em> hands, doctor? Yours, you mean? Or the Superintendence's hands, perhaps? Oh right, about that, I know everything there's to know about your dear Foundation, the helmet whispers it to me constantly. I know about all the deaths, the lab rats that came before me, and those that will come after me, I know about all the horrible things you do to contain your monsters, I even know what you're hiding there, <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-001-it-graf">in that old castle</a>. And you know what the best part is? You seriously believe you're doing it for the greater good.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> [EXPLICIT] the greater good! We're talking about science, this philosophical [EXPLICIT]…</p> <p><strong>D-1971:</strong> "… is not the reason why I'm here". You can remove that ridiculous hat, I can still hear you either way. Actually I can hear all of you, but your voices aren't so annoying anymore, I tend to ignore them, truth be told. What is the useless babbling of inferior minds for those who can listen to the universe itself singing inside their eardrums?</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> This conversation…</p> <p><strong>D-1971:</strong> …is over. I know, doctor, I know <em>everything</em>, even if I'd like not to.</p> <p><strong><End of Log></strong></p> </blockquote> <p><em><strong>Researcher's note:</strong> I'm tempted to end the experiment, remove the helmet, give it to the next subject and start all over. However, there's more, I can feel it. It's better not to let anyone know, for now, that D-1971 has access to sensitive information. I'd just risk getting someone in the way.</em></p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">15TH DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> D-1971 has spent the last two days mostly motionless, staring into the void and occasionally whispering.

D-1971, prey to a convulsive crisis, is tied to a stretcher to prevent him from hurting himself. <p><em><strong>Researcher's note:</strong> I had to give in. It's only a matter of time before one of the gorillas goes behind my back and contacts the SRE-M. I just hope they don't make days of research go to waste just because a D-class refuses to do his job.</em></p> <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">18TH DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <br/> The screams and the convulsions stop during the night. The EEG shows that D-1971 is conscious, but he's entirely unresponsive to stimuli, with heart and respiratory rates reduced to minimum levels; the control of the sphincters is lost. The new phase is named "catatonic". <hr/> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">20TH DAY</span></strong></p> </div> <blockquote> <p><strong><Start of Log></strong></p> <p><strong>Dr. Bigotti:</strong> The experiment ends here, Dr. Tagliani.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> With all due respect… no one in the SRE-M has the competence to establish when a test like this should end or not.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Bigotti:</strong> Look at this man, doctor! You reduced him to a vegetative state, all of this only for a bunch of data from which the Foundation does not benefit at all. We don't use D-Class like lab rats here in the Italian Branch. And don't think for a moment that we don't know about what D-1971 has revealed you. Do you even have an idea of the risks, security-wise? <em>[Addressed to the guards]</em> Untie him and take that thing off.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Tagliani:</strong> <em>[Standing in between the guards and the stretcher]</em> No! You can't do this! I won't allow…</p> <p><em>D-1971 "wakes up" screaming incomprehensible words, his body shaken by violent tremors.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Bigotti:</strong> Take that helmet off! Now!</p> <p><em>The guards push away Dr. Tagliani and remove both SCP-082-IT and the electrodes from D-1971's head. The man's skull appears to be deformed, and a pulsating protuberance covers the left temple. The tremors increase in intensity.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Bigotti:</strong> What the…</p> <p><em>A shock wave originates abruptly from D-1971's head, causing its rupture and violently overwhelming everyone; the room is covered with brain matter and bone fragments. Dr. Tagliani bangs his head, losing consciousness. A small grayish humanoid creature makes its way out of D-1971's shattered temporal bone. All those present who were still conscious report having heard a loud wailing coming from inside their own heads. The creature falls to the floor, wriggling for a while before ceasing to move.</em></p> <p><strong>Dr. Bigotti:</strong> <em>[Getting up from the ground]</em> What the [EXPLICIT] is that?</p> <p><strong><End of Log></strong></p> </blockquote> <hr/> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The entity (from here on SCP-082-IT-1) vaguely resembles a human fetus around the 4th month of gestation, it is about 16 cm tall and weighs about 220 g. Histological examinations revealed it is composed entirely of neuroectoderm<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-6" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-6')">6</a></sup> and DNA tests revealed it to be a 100% genetic match with the late D-1971; an "umbilical cord" and "amniotic sac" were respectively identified as a bundle of nerves and meningeal fibers containing cerebrospinal fluid. Death was probably caused by the trauma of the fall.</p> <p>The report seems to confirm that SCP-082-IT-1 developed from D-1971's brain mass. Therefore, SCP-082-IT possesses, besides mind-altering properties, the ability to redirect neuronal cells' development in an anomalous way.<br/> SCP-082-IT-1 has been preserved in formaldehyde.</p> </div> <p><strong>Addendum 082/1971:</strong> Final extract from Dr. Filippo Tagliani's personal notes.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>What happened is incredible. After so many years spent working with anomalies, I'd have never expected something that could still surprise me. Let it serve as a lesson to all the newbies who believe that a "Safe" class anomaly is automatically safe. That kid was lucky not to have the helmet for too long.</em></p> <p><em>They've informed me that I'll have to appear before a SRE-M committee for a disciplinary evaluation and that all future tests on SCP-082-IT are suspended until further notice.</em></p> <p><em>That's ridiculous! We've just scratched the surface, there are still so many questions left unanswered. Is it possible to make this creature survive? How would they evolve? At what precise moment do they start to develop? And at what speed?</em></p> <p><em>If this Foundation seriously cares about researching the anomalous, the tests MUST go on. I also believe that, in order to conduct more in-depth investigations of future specimens, our section should seek a collaboration with a surgical team from <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/siti-italiani#Sito-Asclepio">Site Asclepio</a>.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Update:</strong> Once the investigation procedure was completed, Site Minerva received the following notification.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Doctor Tagliani, although some of us do not share his methods and push for his removal from the Foundation, considering the results achieved, his request to continue with the experimentation on SCP-082-IT has been officially approved.

Then what was the key to their success? Popularity. As they built their reputation, more people flocked to their stores for their products — a basic rule in consumption trends .</p> <p>But at that time, the type of ads featuring a beautiful girl smiling brightly while holding a can of food had become too common. Consumers wanted something new, something distinctively American, something a bit more relatable to their lives, something that made their hearts throb with excitement as they approached the next century — nature and wildlife.</p> <p>And then a new type of advertisement appeared. A canned tomato business in Camden, New Jersey, plastered posters about their new products everywhere. Included in them was a donkey dressed as a factory worker and wearing a hat, pushing a cart full of ripe and juicy tomatoes, with a line of introduction below. Anthropomorphized animals performing human tasks. The masses loved this aesthetic. It was a breath of fresh air and sales soared. So naturally, competitors followed suit, all in pursuit of money.</p> <p>From 1870, almost every animal that appeared in the encyclopaedia was used. I’m not saying that it was a good thing. The noteworthy stuff occurred from 1879 onwards. Tabloid newspapers began to report that some people had seen the animals on those ads appearing in their neighbourhoods at night. The sighting frequency increased to the point the press dedicated an entire page to these “mysterious events”.</p> <p><em>Every single one!!</em></p> <p>I’m not joking. I found them in a pile of incident records at a hidden library in Colorado. A man-eating lion in a suit in the park. An ostrich wearing a dancing dress and ramming cars until its spine broke. Even <em>Jumbo</em> was there, stomping people into a bloody pulp not unsimilar to the watermelons it ate daily.</p> <p>The Foundation was just as surprised. They immediately made contact with the source of it all— those capitalist enterprises. Apparently, the printing technology was part of a summoning ritual. They had opened up a Way deep beneath the land of the free, leading to a magical world ruled by those entities. The capitalists carved the power and magic of those entities into shape, to attract their fellow humans. But they forgot that everything comes at a price, those creatures did not work for free. The larger the summoned creatures, the higher their demands, sometimes requiring the sacrifice of the very human souls. I could list several names, those that skyrocketed, and then in just a few days for biting off more than they could chew.</p> <p>But the problem here is that those greedy pigs never changed. They found another way. If they couldn’t satisfy the demands of more powerful beings, then they would just aim for inferior creatures instead. The efficiency might be reduced, but at least they would still make money without risking their lives.</p> <p>And what do the capitalists need to do to win over the frogs? Tossing them a few flies to pocket millions of dollar bills so green.</p> </div> <p><strong>Addendum 03:</strong> Recorded SCP-084-VN instances</p> <script src="https://d3g0gp89917ko0.cloudfront.net/v--4b961b7cc327/common--javascript/yahooui/tabview-min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <div class="yui-navset" id="wiki-tabview-6babea8bcf6f2a7f1484f29baa9c6177"> <ul class="yui-nav"> <li class="selected"><a href="javascript:;"><em>084-VN-01</em></a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;"><em>084-VN-02</em></a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;"><em>084-VN-03</em></a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;"><em>084-VN-04</em></a></li> <li><a href="javascript:;"><em>084-VN-05</em></a></li> </ul> <div class="yui-content"> <div id="wiki-tab-0-0"> <div style="display: inline-block; border:dashed 1px #999999; background:#F5F5F5; float:center; width:84%; padding:1px 15px; margin: 10px 10px 10px 40px"> <p><strong>Title:</strong> Sir Fareach Froggleworth II</p> <p><strong>Business supported:</strong> J.

SCP-088-PT is to be constantly monitored and contained within a 4m³ containment chamber on Site-PT33, inside a standard container for inanimate objects. As it is impossible to load the object with ammunition, SCP-088-PT requires only standard maintenance and hygiene procedures while in its inactive state.</p> <p>Upon indication of the occurrence of an 088-Σ Event, it is to be assumed that SCP-088-PT has entered its active state and that SCP-088-PT-1 will appear in exactly 2 minutes to equip SCP-088-PT. Those responsible for this observation are to alert all personnel involved in containment through the on-site standard communications systems that an 088-Σ Event has begun (for more information regarding 088-Σ Events, personnel with a Security Clearance Level 3/088 may refer to Document 088-01).</p> <p>STF PT22-Γ is responsible for the establishment of a 500m perimeter around SCP-088-PT. This perimeter must not contain any individual that placed in any region to the left of the y-axis as determined by the Foundation Test for Political Coordinates (for more information regarding the test, personnel with a Security Clearance Level 3/088 may refer to Document 088-02). All personnel within the perimeter must be trained to react efficiently to the protocols of an 088-Σ Event. STF PT22-Γ is authorised to investigate and repel any efforts to violate SCP-088-PT's containment, and to employ lethal force in the case that it is necessary to maintain containment.</p> <p>Upon the occurrence of an 088-Σ Event, individuals within the perimeter must safely conclude or halt their current activities and salute; if approached by SCP-088-PT-1, personnel are to address the entity as "Sergeant Rocha", and treat the entity with all the conventions of this title. The 088-Σ Event will only be considered concluded when a new communication announces the dematerialisation of SCP-088-PT-1.</p> <p>No personnel may enter SCP-088-PT's containment chamber during an 088-Σ event or within 6 hours after its conclusion.</p> <hr/> <div class="scp-image-block block-center" style="width:500px;"><img alt="SCP-088-PT.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-pt-br.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-088-pt/SCP-088-PT.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>SCP-088-PT in its inactive state.</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-088-PT is a semi-automatic rifle M1 Garand approximately dated to the 1960s, with a mass of 4.2 kg and a length of 1.1m. The rifle has been modified to shoot .458 calibre Winchester ammunition.</p> <p>In its inactive state, SCP-088-PT does not differ from an ordinary M1 Garand rifle. However, when the object is activated, its appearance is spontaneously modified following an apparently random period of time. No means to prevent or control this process are currently known.</p> <p>In its active state, SCP-088-PT appears as an extremely deteriorated firearm with damage consistent with a weapon used excessively in combat without proper maintenance. A roughly carved phrase will appear in its stock, reading "THIS MACHINE KILLS COMMIES"; in addition, several marks are carved into the rifle apparently counting the number of individuals terminated by SCP-088-PT. However, according to information obtained by Dr. Nascimento in interviews with 088-PT-1, the actual number of neutralised individuals is closer to [REDACTED].</p> <p>SCP-088-PT-1 denotes the entity that is manifested when SCP-088-PT is activated. SCP-088-PT-1 is identical in appearance to a male human, dressed in a uniform traditionally worn by the soldiers that comprised the Força Expedicionária Brasileira (FEB, or Brazilian Expeditionary Force) during the Second World War. SCP-088-PT-1 appears to be approximately 40 years of age, with a tanned complexion, voluminous moustache and beard, and dishevelled hair.</p> <p>SCP-088-PT-1 is able to interact physically with its surroundings and environment despite being completely incorporeal. X-rays, thermographic equipment, and other methods of detection thus far utilised by the Foundation are unable to detect the entity. SCP-088-PT-1 considers itself the "owner" of SCP-088-PT and is the only individual capable of appropriately utilising the object. When equipped by SCP-088-PT-1, SCP-088-PT also becomes incorporeal.</p> <p>SCP-088-PT-1 is capable of using SCP-088-PT as an ordinary M1 Garand rifle; however, it has never been seen to reload the weapon, generating projectiles apparently without source or trace. The projectiles fired from SCP-088-PT are not propelled by powder or made of lead, but rather appear to be completely incorporeal and propelled by an unknown force. Therefore, targets shot by SCP-088-PT rarely survive their injuries.</p> <p>It is theorised that SCP-088-PT-1 is identical in appearance to the late Sergeant ████ Rocha, as he resided in the same location where SCP-088-PT was originally discovered. Additional data has been catalogued by Dr. Nascimento derived from a diary found in [DATA EXPUNGED].

An 088-Σ event happens sporadically and irregularly when these conditions are met. Researchers are still trying to decipher a pattern for these seemingly random occurrences of 088-Σ Events.</p> <p>During 088-Σ Events, SCP-088-PT-1 behaves similarly to how an actual drill sergeant would act when inspecting soldiers, a behaviour which masquerades its intention to search for any individual with left-leaning tendencies within the aforementioned 500m perimeter. When identified by SCP-088-PT-1, such an individual will be promptly executed via the use of SCP-088-PT; SCP-088-PT will, without exception, label the individual as "a filthy commie", even if the target did not technically have left-wing beliefs that corresponded to communism. Those attempting to defend people attacked by SCP-088-PT-1 will be regarded in the same manner and be similarly targeted. The Foundation currently does not understand how SCP-088-PT-1 detects the political affiliation of individuals within the perimeter.</p> <p>Those without a left-leaning political bias have little to no risk while interacting with SCP-088-PT-1, so long as they treat it as their hierarchically superior military officer, do not possess objects or a demeanour that leads to SCP-088-PT-1 suspecting of such a bias, and do not attempt to help those attacked by SCP-088-PT-1. Failure to maintain these protocols will result in targeting by SCP-088-PT-1.</p> <p>SCP-088-PT-1 is able to teleport instantaneously to any location within the established 500m perimeter (an action performed frequently during the object's active state). It is effectively impossible to track SCP-088-PT-1 or block its entrance from any specific location within the perimeter. In addition, SCP-088-PT-1 is capable of changing the epicenter of the aforementioned perimeter to its current position. However, such an occurrence has only been observed when SCP-088-PT-1 had to pursue one of its targets past the 500m radius.</p> <p>SCP-088-PT-1 will always complete its pursuit at Dr. Nascimento's office (one of the personnel responsible for the containment of SCP-088-PT), after speaking with every human being within the established perimeter and executing those that did not conform to the mentioned parameters. SCP-088-PT-1 will leave SCP-088-PT to his care, as it considers him the "most-competent subordinate available". Dr. Nascimento <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">must be present in his office during 088-Σ Events</span> is responsible for transporting SCP-088-PT back to its containment chamber following the conclusion of an 088-Σ Event.

Taxonomically, it is closely related to the Promethea silkmoth (<em>Callosamia promethea</em>) and belongs to the subfamily Saturniidae. The larvae of SCP-097-KO feed on human organs as they grow and build large cocoon structures based on images of buildings stored in the host's brain tissue in the form of memories or imagination. The Foundation has periodically provided Class D hosts and large construction sites to maintain the population of SCP-097-KO post-containment. In this study, we have identified that SCP-097-KO adjusts its population size according to the surrounding environment - particularly the size of its habitat - and that it can successfully hatch and grow in a protein dummy with injected replicated brain cells. Based on these findings, we propose revised procedures that can significantly reduce the excessive resource consumption of the current containment protocol.</span> <p><span style="font-family:돋움체; font-size:10pt"><strong>keyword:</strong> SCP-097-KO, <em>Callosamia structura</em>, Safe, Organism, Insect, Ecology, Protocol Revision</span></p> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc3"><span><strong>Ⅰ. Introduction</strong></span></h2> </div> <p><br/></p> <p>The current special containment procedures for SCP-097-KO (<em>Callosamia structura</em>) have been in place since 1███ without significant issues. However, these procedures require the annual use of 25 Class D personnel, large tracts of land and multiple staff, leading to severe resource wastage. The lack of thorough biological research during SCP-097-KO's containment meant that the current procedures were established based on rough empirical knowledge rather than accurate research data on the SCP population. For more efficient containment, it is essential to conduct rigorous research to thoroughly analyse the subject's characteristics and revise the special containment procedures accordingly. Therefore, we have conducted an in-depth exploration of the biological and ecological characteristics of <em>Callosamia structura</em> and present our findings in this paper.</p> <p>This paper also serves as a memorandum from the Scientific Department regarding SCP-097-KO's containment procedures revision. Based on our findings, we have proposed a revised version of the current special containment procedures, which is included in the conclusion section of this document.</p> <p>We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to several individuals and groups who made these achievements possible. Our heartfelt thanks go to Council Member O5-2, who provided unwavering support and made significant contributions by actively participating in the research; to Dr Bright and Dr Kondraki from human resources for their approval to use Class D personnel required for the experiments; to the researchers at Site-19 who offered invaluable assistance with human experimentation; to Researcher Hariuchi, who not only contributed to the research as an investigator but also ensured that language barriers did not hinder the research process and diligently translated this paper into nine languages; and finally, to the members of the Ethics Committee and the Scientific Department's Paper Review and Approval Committee, who provided the final review and approval of this paper.</p> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc4"><span><strong>Ⅱ. Body</strong></span></h2> </div> <p><br/></p> <h3 id="toc5"><span>1. Background information of SCP-097-KO</span></h3> <p>SCP-097-KO (<em>Callosamia structura</em>) is a species of silkmoth that once inhabited a small area in the north-central region of Virginia, North America. Taxonomically, it belongs to the phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Lepidoptera, family Saturniidae, genus <em>Callosamia</em>, with the species name <em>structura</em>. After securing a sample population, the extermination process was successfully carried out. As a result, there are currently no wild populations of <em>Callosamia structura</em>.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:250px;"><img alt="scp-097-ko-imago-male.jpg" class="image" src="https://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-097-ko/scp-097-ko-imago-male.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Figure 1. Sketch of an adult male SCP-097-KO instance.</p> </div> </div> <p>The adult SCP-097-KO resembles the Promethea silkmoth (<em>Callosamia promethea</em>) in appearance and does not exhibit any notable anomalies besides its reproductive method. After mating, the adult SCP-097-KO lays multiple eggs inside the body of a nearby adult human (hereafter referred to as the host). The larvae hatch and grow for ten and a half months, feeding on the host's internal organs, including muscles and digestive organs. Despite the significant consumption of the host's internal organs as the larvae mature, the host maintains normal vital functions and can even easily carry out social activities. The mechanism by which SCP-097-KO maintains the host's bodily functions remains completely unknown, and there are no recorded observations of the larvae's activities and growth within the host's body.</p> <p>Once fully grown, the larvae move up to the host's head and consume the entire brain. During this process, the host experiences excruciating pain and eventually dies, with the remains of the body also being used as nutrients by the larvae. After consuming the brain, the SCP-097-KO larvae exit through a hole in the skull and begin their metamorphosis.</p> <p>The SCP-097-KO larvae that emerge from the host split into two groups: the excavators and the builders. During metamorphosis, the SCP-097-KO uses cocoons to construct a structure based on a building the host previously envisioned. This appears to be a form of camouflage designed to help them survive the vulnerable pupation stage. During this process, all excavators die, but the builders successfully undergo metamorphosis, forming the next generation.</p> <p><br/></p> <h3 id="toc6"><span>2. Current Special Containment Procedures for SCP-097-KO</span></h3> <p>Before proceeding with the research, this paper will analyse the current special containment procedures to establish the focus of the study. The following is an excerpt from the special containment procedures section of the current SCP-097-KO report copy<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-1-27387a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-1')">1</a>]</sup>:</p> <blockquote> <p>All wild SCP-097-KO specimens must be exterminated except for the twenty-five (25) population groups in captivity for breeding. The SCP-097-KO containment breeding wing, an auxiliary facility of Site-19, must always be maintained at room temperature, and each group must be allocated a habitat area of 2 km<sup>2</sup>. The height of each breeding wing must be at least 9 meters. During the metamorphosis period, Foundation personnel must continuously monitor to ensure that SCP-097-KO adults do not escape from the breeding wing.</p> <p>Every May, when SCP-097-KO engages in mating, one Class D personnel is introduced into each breeding wing. Class D personnel are instructed to draw a "house" under the pretence of a psychological test, and the individual who draws the most ordinary and conventional house is selected. When introducing Class D personnel into the breeding wing, they must be gagged and have their limbs restrained to prevent resistance. Additionally, sufficient nutrients must be provided intravenously for the 11-month growth period of the larvae.</p> <p>After approximately one month of pupation, once the SCP-097-KO larvae have completed metamorphosis, containment team personnel are deployed to dismantle the collapsed cocoon structures. Since mating occurs again within a week, the following Class D personnel must be introduced immediately.</p> </blockquote> <p>The current procedures, as outlined above, consistently require the use of 25 Class D personnel annually. Given the recent trend of decreasing availability of Class D personnel, this fixed expenditure will likely cause a significant burden on personnel procurement. Moreover, the Ethics Committee has issued guidelines to minimise the use of Class D personnel if alternative materials can be used<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-2-16753a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-2')">2</a>]</sup>. Therefore, exploring options to replace or reduce human resource consumption, including Class D personnel, is crucial.</p> <p>Additionally, the current procedures allocate over 50 km<sup>2</sup> of land to maintain 25 groups. However, SCP-097-KO only utilises the full 2 km<sup>2</sup> of space during the one month when it constructs its cocoon and prepares for metamorphosis. Considering that the larvae are spatially restricted within the host's body during the 11-month larval stage, this represents a significant waste of space.</p> <p>Based on the above analysis, the team has decided to focus on the following aspects of the research on SCP-097-KO:</p> <ul> <li>Exploration of environments outside the human body where SCP-097-KO can grow or investigate the potential for recycling hosts.</li> <li>Estimation of the minimum containment area required that does not hinder SCP-097-KO's growth and reproduction.</li> </ul> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc7"><span><strong>Ⅲ. Research Plans</strong></span></h2> </div> <br/> <br/> <h3 id="toc8"><span>1. Basic Ecological Research</span></h3> <h4 id="toc9"><span>1.1. Observation of SCP-097-KO Ecology</span></h4> <ul> <li>Observe the currently contained groups for one year to collect various primary data. Particular focus is placed on exploring anomalous characteristics such as spawning, growth, and cocoon construction to supplement previously insufficient information.</li> </ul> <h4 id="toc10"><span>1.2. Research of SCP-097-KO's ability to control its host</span></h4> <ul> <li>As the SCP-097-KO larvae grow, they consume the host's internal organs. Despite this, the host can lead an almost everyday life until the larvae fully mature and move towards the brain. For further investigation, SCP-097-KO eggs were inserted into eight Class D personnel, and the behaviour of the SCP-097-KO larvae was observed. The insertion sites include the muscles (arm), the nervous system (spinal cord), and other places throughout the body.</li> </ul> <h3 id="toc11"><span>2. Host Research</span></h3> <h4 id="toc12"><span>2.1. Host Recycling Research</span></h4> <ul> <li>By blocking the larvae's movement to the brain, whether one host can support multiple breeding cycles is studied.</li> </ul> <h4 id="toc13"><span>2.2. Non-human Replacement Host Research</span></h4> <ul> <li>Various non-human hosts for breeding, such as animals or dummies made of various materials, are provided. The growth of SCP-097-KO populations within the replacement hosts is observed, ruling out potential replacements.</li> </ul> <h3 id="toc14"><span>3. Research for spatial optimisation</span></h3> <h4 id="toc15"><span>3.1. Observation of SCP-097-KO adaptation relative to breeding ground space</span></h4> <ul> <li>Three groups are placed in differently sized breeding grounds, 1 km<sup>2</sup>, 10,000 m<sup>2</sup>, and 100 m<sup>2</sup>, respectively. Each SCP-097-KO group's responses are observed and compared to the group's within contemporarily sized breeding grounds.</li> </ul> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc16"><span><strong>Ⅳ. Results</strong></span></h2> </div> <p><br/></p> <h3 id="toc17"><span>1. Basic Ecological Research</span></h3> <h4 id="toc18"><span>1.1. Observation of SCP-097-KO Ecology</span></h4> <p>Like the typical <em>Callosamia promethea</em>, SCP-097-KO is holometabolistic, passing through the egg, larva, pupa (cocoon), and adult stages. While this was already known, the study provided additional detailed information regarding the larval stage. It was observed that SCP-097-KO larvae also grow through several moults, during which their anomalous properties gradually increase.</p> <p>SCP-097-KO adults mate in early May. While the mating behaviour is similar to that of other insects in the same genus, the location where the fertilised female lays its eggs is, as widely known, the human body. The female SCP-097-KO possesses a sharp ovipositor at the end of its abdomen, similar to that of a parasitic wasp, designed to pierce the skin of mammals. Using this ovipositor, the female lays approximately 350,000 eggs inside a human body. They typically select a sleeping human as the host, likely to avoid interference during spawning.</p> <p>Observation revealed that the female SCP-097-KO does not lay all its eggs in one location but distributes them across four different body areas. The most preferred sites are areas with dense muscle mass, particularly the shoulders, where an average of 200,000 eggs are deposited. In all cases, it was confirmed that at least 10,000 eggs are laid near the spinal cord.</p> <p>SCP-097-KO eggs are tiny, with an average diameter of 500 μm, allowing them to be quickly injected into the host's internal organs through the ovipositor. Each egg travels through the bloodstream for approximately three minutes before settling in an internal organ. This process is believed to prevent the eggs from clustering and ensure that each individual has sufficient space for its activity.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="scp-097-ko-larva-1.jpg" class="image" src="https://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-097-ko/scp-097-ko-larva-1.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Figure 2. Sketch of 1st instar SCP-097-KO larvae. (×10)</p> </div> </div> <p>About 30 days after the eggs are laid, all SCP-097-KO within the host simultaneously hatch from their eggs (1st instar larvae). During this process, the host may experience mild pain, but it quickly subsides due to the tramadol hydrochloride and lidocaine secreted in trace amounts by SCP-097-KO. The average body length of the 1st instar larvae is 1 mm, and they are white. (Fig. 2)</p> <p>The 1st instar larvae remain where they hatched, feeding on the host's organs for approximately five months. The amount of tissue consumed by the 1st instar larvae is within the host's capacity for recovery, so the host does not notice any significant abnormalities. As a result, the 1st instar larval stage of SCP-097-KO becomes a "latent period" lethal to the host.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="scp-097-ko-larva-2.jpg" class="image" src="https://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-097-ko/scp-097-ko-larva-2.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Figure 3. Sketch of 2nd instar SCP-097-KO larvae. (×5)</p> </div> </div> <p>At five months of age, SCP-097-KO moults and grows into 2nd instar larvae. Observations indicate that the larvae consume their moulted skin to replenish nutrients after moulting. During this stage, SCP-097-KO larvae typically burrow into the subcutaneous fat layer, making them nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye. However, as the larvae increase in size to 3 mm and begin to move slightly within the host's body, the host experiences a significant sense of foreignness and itching for several days following the moult. These symptoms are alleviated as the larvae grow and their lidocaine secretion increases.</p> <p>The 2nd instar larvae require approximately twice the energy of the 1st instar, increasing the burden on the host's body. The host's food intake begins to rise, and it is common for a mild dysfunction in some organ functions to occur. Additionally, the spindles, which play a significant role in the anomalous properties of larval SCP-097-KO, first appear during this stage. However, the 2nd instar larvae spindles are immature and do not yet function.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="scp-097-ko-larva-3.jpg" class="image" src="https://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-097-ko/scp-097-ko-larva-3.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Figure 4. Sketch of 3rd instar SCP-097-KO larvae. (×2)</p> </div> </div> <p>At around six months of age, SCP-097-KO moults again, becoming 3rd instar larvae like their previous moult. The 3rd instar larvae grow rapidly to about 1 cm in length, occupying a significant volume within the host's body. As a result, the host's body bloats, and body weight increases compared to before the infestation. From this stage onward, SCP-097-KO larvae use two pairs of spindles located on the second and third segments to exert localised control over the host's body parts. Although the exact mechanism remains unclear, as no chemical substances or electrical signals have been detected, the fact that removing these spindles prevents the larvae from displaying this anomalous behaviour strongly suggests that these spindles play a central role in the process. Additionally, the spindles appear to be used for communication between individual larvae.</p> <p>Utilising this control ability, SCP-097-KO larvae gradually adjust the host's body to better accommodate their development. The larvae positioned near the spinal cord play a crucial role in this process by interfering with the communication between the brain and peripheral nervous system, distorting certain information. Blood test results suggest that they manipulate neural signals and the host's endocrine system. As a result, the host experiences significant hunger, leading to increased food intake, while the recovery rate of the organs consumed by SCP-097-KO accelerates dramatically.</p> <p>The 3rd instar stage is also when the range of movement for SCP-097-KO larvae expands significantly. At this point, the larvae seem to place less importance on remaining at their hatching site. Instead, they congregate around organs like the liver, where rapid recovery and nutrients are more easily obtained. However, the larvae initially settle near the spine and remain mostly stationary, staying near the neck area to continue manipulating the host. As a result, the host's neck becomes almost filled with SCP-097-KO larvae, except for the space occupied by the organs. This causes the host to experience severe neck stiffness.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="scp-097-ko-larva-4.jpg" class="image" src="https://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-097-ko/scp-097-ko-larva-4.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Figure 5. Sketch of 4th instar SCP-097-KO larvae. (×1.5)</p> </div> </div> <p>SCP-097-KO larvae undergo another moulting process at seven months of age and develop into 4th instar larvae. By this stage, the host's body is almost entirely under the control of SCP-097-KO. The transmission speed of neural signals slightly decreases, causing the host to struggle with intense physical activity, and reflex responses become noticeably weakened. Certain actions, such as attempts to remove the larvae, are completely inhibited by SCP-097-KO, as the larvae block the command signals from the brain. However, as long as the survival of the larvae is not threatened, SCP-097-KO transmits most of the brain's commands to the body without interference, leaving the host utterly unaware of the situation.</p> <p>However, despite SCP-097-KO increasingly taking control of the body, the host's physical condition deteriorates as the host's organs are consumed by the SCP-097-KO group, eventually reaching a critical point. Organs such as the liver, the primary food source, become irreparably damaged. Interestingly, even when the host's life is threatened due to these issues, the SCP-097-KO group is capable of successfully keeping the host alive. For further details on this phenomenon, refer to Study 1.2.</p> <p>The 4th instar larvae reach a body length of 3 cm, making them 30 times larger than the 1st instar larvae. This significant increase in size explains why the host's body continues to enlarge, even though some larvae die during the growth process. In some cases, the movement of SCP-097-KO larvae can be visibly observed wriggling beneath the host's skin.</p> <p>Before progressing to the 5th instar, around 290 days after hatching, the SCP-097-KO group manipulates the host's neural signals, knocking the host unconscious and relocating the host. The fact that the host is moved to the most isolated part of the containment area suggests that this behaviour is intended to isolate the host from society, facilitating the construction of the cocoon structure and metamorphosis. If the host cannot move, the SCP-097-KO group exhibits different responses depending on the situation. In an experiment where five groups were restrained during the late 4th instar stage, three groups chose to progress to the 5th instar at the place where the host was restrained. In comparison, the remaining two groups, whose hosts were relatively healthy, severed the host's restrained limbs and then moved the host by crawling. This behaviour indicates that SCP-097-KO possesses a collective intelligence capable of assessing situations and responding accordingly.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:200px;"><img alt="scp-097-ko-larva-5.jpg" class="image" src="https://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-097-ko/scp-097-ko-larva-5.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Figure 6. Sketch of 5th instar SCP-097-KO larvae.</p> </div> </div> <p>About nine and a half months after hatching, SCP-097-KO moults into 5th instar larvae and primes itself for metamorphosis. During this stage, the larvae become barely active, focusing on accumulating the nutrients needed for cocoon construction. As a result, the host becomes severely debilitated. This occurs because the larvae, which had been maintaining the functions of the already failing organs, cease their support, and the remaining organs are fully consumed. Notably, Study 2.1 revealed that when the host's health is in a particularly poor condition, some larvae remain in the 4th instar to assist in keeping the host alive. By this stage, the host has been moved to a location where it is challenging to seek help, making resistance against the SCP-097-KO group impossible.</p> <p>The 5th instar larvae, which reach a body length of 4 cm, have the front three to four segments noticeably swollen in a deformed manner. Dissection revealed that these segments are filled with a viscous fluid resembling cement. Component analysis showed that this fluid has the same composition as the material used in the completed SCP-097-KO cocoon structures, indicating that it serves as stored material for constructing these structures.</p> <p>After about a week, when the host is on the verge of starvation, the larvae simultaneously move towards the host's head. The larvae then consume the host's brain tissue entirely, though only about 15% of the entire group feed on the brain tissue. The majority of these larvae are those that initially hatched near the spine.</p> <p>Once the brain is destroyed and the host dies, the SCP-097-KO larvae consume the remaining corpse. After this, as is known, the SCP-097-KO larvae split into two groups to begin preparations for construction.</p> <p>Typically, by this stage, an average of 290,000 larvae survive. Of these, approximately 34% (around 100,000 larvae) become the excavators, while 66% (around 190,000 larvae) become the builders. The exact ratio between these groups can vary depending on the design of the cocoon structure.</p> <p>The excavators do not undergo pupation but instead deform their bodies in specific ways: their legs transform into sturdy hooks, and their dorsal areas swell. Dissection revealed that these swollen dorsal areas contain significant amounts of explosive materials, including nitroglycerin. The excavator larvae use these explosives to create large-scale explosions, clearing the ground and preparing underground spaces. They typically dig several layers deeper than the number of underground floors specified in the structure's design, providing a foundational space for the builders to construct underground supports. As is expected, all the larvae in the excavator group perish in the explosion.</p> <p>The explosions caused by the excavator group are extremely powerful, capable of breaking through soil and bedrock and producing intense heat and light flashes. However, the associated noise and vibrations are remarkably minimal. The precise mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unknown and has not been explored further, as it falls outside the scope of this paper. Further research is necessary to address these physical anomalies.</p> <p>The larvae of the builder group do not exhibit the unusual physical changes seen in the excavator group when they enter the metamorphosis stage. These larvae remain inside the host's body longer than the excavator group, consuming the host's corpse to accumulate the necessary nutrients for cocoon construction. This extended stay also appears to be a strategy to avoid being caught up in the excavator group's explosive activities, which could otherwise result in their deaths.</p> <p>Once the excavator group's explosive work has prepared the ground and underground space, the builder larvae complete their consumption of the host (or sometimes stop midway) and move to the designated location to begin cocoon construction. This process unfolds very calmly over an extended period, with each SCP-097-KO larva precisely locating itself and constructing a cocoon in the exact shape required for the structure. On average, each larva produces a cocoon with a volume of 30,000 cm³, using up to 300 grams of silk. This volume is several times larger than the cocoons of related species and even exceeds the mass of the 5th instar SCP-097-KO larvae themselves. It is suspected that some form of ectentropic factor may be involved, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Further research is necessary to explore this phenomenon.</p> <p>The method by which individual SCP-097-KO larvae construct their cocoons is not significantly different from other silk moths. However, as is well known, the entire SCP-097-KO group collectively creates a single, cohesive architectural structure based on the information stored in the host's brain. As previously mentioned, only about 15% of the larvae directly consume the host's brain, so they are assumed to share information about the overall design and their roles in the construction through their spindles.</p> <p>The structure's construction follows the same sequence as typical human construction processes: ground preparation and pillar erection, followed by wall construction and roof installation. SCP-097-KO larvae patiently wait their turn to contribute to the process to ensure the successful completion of the structure. Experimental observations revealed that during this waiting period, the larvae are vulnerable to predators and can be easily hunted without resistance.</p> <p>Once the cocoon layers in their designated area are complete, the larvae climb up the structure and begin constructing their cocoons. As previously mentioned, the method of cocoon construction is not significantly different from that of typical Saturniidae insects, but the material produced by SCP-097-KO larvae is more akin to cement than silk. This material is the same as that discovered during the dissection of 5th instar larvae. Depending on the structure's design, this material can take on the appearance of wood or metal, though its composition and physical properties remain unchanged. Each larva takes approximately one hour to complete its cocoon, and the entire group takes about two weeks to finish constructing the structure, including the explosive groundwork done by the excavator group.</p> <p>The elaborate and complex process by which SCP-097-KO constructs its massive cocoon structures is presumably intended to protect the vulnerable pupal stage from external threats. However, this strategy raises some questions, considering that SCP-097-KO's pupal stage lasts only a few weeks and that the larvae are fully exposed to dangers during construction. This construction behaviour's highly deliberate and intricate nature seems too intentional to have merely evolved by chance. Therefore, it is suspected that there is an unknown reason behind SCP-097-KO's behaviour.</p> <p>Once the structure is completed, the SCP-097-KO larvae begin pupation within their cocoons. The pupal stage lasts approximately two weeks, during which time the SCP-097-KO cocoon structure remains as sturdy as an ordinary building. Although the functionality of the cocoon structures varies greatly depending on the design, in most cases, they are constructed with such a high level of precision that they are suitable for human habitation.</p> <p>As evidenced by the first recorded instance of an SCP-097-KO cocoon structure, [DATA EXPUNGED], setting the structure on fire during this stage results in the death of all internal entities while leaving behind a sturdy building. Some Native American tribes, aware of SCP-097-KO's anomalous properties, appear to have utilised this knowledge to construct such structures, with [DATA EXPUNGED] being one such example. Except for [DATA EXPUNGED], these structures have since been demolished. For detailed records of the buildings that have been discovered and demolished, refer to the official report<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-1-26979a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-1')">1</a>]</sup>.</p> <p>After two weeks, when the SCP-097-KO entities begin to emerge as adults, the cocoon structure collapses with significant vibrations. Many SCP-097-KO adults, especially those who had built their cocoons in the underground or lower levels, die during this process. It is suspected that such high mortality in this process kept the wild SCP-097-KO population stable despite the high survival rate of its larvae compared to other species.</p> <p>The lifespan of an SCP-097-KO adult is about one week. During this time, the SCP-097-KO entities engage in mating and spawning as described above. The short adult stage is likely one of the reasons why SCP-097-KO did not spread widely and was limited to Virginia and its vicinity.</p> <p><br/> <br/></p> <h4 id="toc19"><span>1.2. Research of SCP-097-KO's ability to control its host</span></h4> <p>Aside from constructing the cocoon structures, the most intriguing aspect of SCP-097-KO's anomalous properties is its ability to control and maintain the functions of the host's body. This paper is keen to refer to this as an "ability" based on a series of experimental results presented later. The following experiments were conducted the year after completing Study 1.1, where SCP-097-KO eggs were artificially implanted into specific body parts and allowed to grow. Through the manipulation of several impressive variables, these experiments were able to shed light on SCP-097-KO's anomalous abilities.</p> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment Setup</strong><br/> <br/> A total of eight Class D personnel were implanted with SCP-097-KO eggs. Four individuals (D-1022, D-1023, D-1024, D-1025) received 5,000 eggs implanted into the left antebrachial muscles, while one individual (D-1506) had 5,000 eggs implanted into the spinal cord. The remaining three individuals (D-1509, D-1510, D-1511) were allowed to develop a typical population of SCP-097-KO through the natural spawning process by adult SCP-097-KO, resulting in the standard distribution of larvae throughout their bodies. Initially, direct insertion to the brain was attempted, but since all larvae invariably migrated to the spinal cord, only spinal cord experiments were conducted. The larvae within each host were allowed to grow to the 3rd instar stage for seven months. For those Class D personnel with SCP-097-KO implanted in specific areas, regular examinations were conducted to remove any larvae that had migrated outside the designated implantation site. Depending on the requirements, some experiments were conducted after allowing the larvae to reach the 4th instar stage.<br/> Class D personnel involved in the experiments were preconditioned with drug administration and other measures to render them docile. Initially, only hosts with SCP-097-KO implanted in the central nervous system were equipped with electrodes for brainwave analysis. However, after Experiment 1-2, EEG testing was conducted in all experiments.<br/> <br/> To prevent the SCP-097-KO group from learning from the experiment results, all Class D personnel and SCP-097-KO larvae used in this experiment were incinerated after the experiment.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1-1: Resistance to Host's Actions</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> D-1022, infested with 3rd instar larvae, is provided with tools such as a scalpel and saw and instructed to amputate the parasitised left arm.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Since the central nervous system, including the spinal cord, has not been taken over, it is uncertain whether the larvae can effectively control the host. It is expected that some form of response would be made to ensure the group's survival, but the exact details is to be determined through the experiment.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> Upon receiving the command, D-1022 began to mutilate his left arm with a scalpel. This caused significant damage to the veins, leading to heavy bleeding, and some SCP-097-KO larvae were expelled out of the body by the haemorrhage and died. The SCP-097-KO group belatedly attempted to stop the bleeding while simultaneously taking control of the nervous system in the left arm to evade D-1022's attacks. Following this, D-1022 was unable to inflict further injuries on the left arm but died three hours later due to excessive blood loss.<br/> After the host died, SCP-097-KO instances crawled out of the left arm and thrashed around for several hours. However, they could not take any effective action and eventually expired.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> It is confirmed that SCP-097-KO can locally manipulate motor nerves even without taking control of the central nervous system. However, the fact that SCP-097-KO failed to anticipate D-1022's self-harm attempt and that the host's death ultimately led to the death of the entire group indicates that SCP-097-KO did not effectively control the host in this experiment. Whether this failure was due to the limited parasitic range or the insufficient control power of the 3rd instar larvae must be clarified through subsequent experiments.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1-2: Resistance to Host's Actions</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> D-1023, infested with 4th instar larvae, is provided with tools such as a scalpel and saw and instructed to amputate the parasitised left arm.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Like Experiment 1-1, active response is expected to be limited due to the lack of control over the central nervous system. However, considering that the host control abilities of the 4th instar larvae are more developed than those of the 3rd instar stage, the exact outcome is difficult to predict. Dr. Gears speculated that the results would be similar to those of Experiment 1-1, while O5-2 anticipated that SCP-097-KO would manage a more successful response.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> D-1023, holding a saw and scalpel in each hand, hesitated briefly before gripping the scalpel with the right hand and attempting to stab the left hand. The first strike penetrated deeply into the left arm, but SCP-097-KO's manipulation caused the second strike to miss, and the left arm was used to grasp the right wrist, preventing further self-harm. It was observed that the larvae initiated haemostasis.<br/> <br/> When D-1023 found it difficult to inflict harm using the saw as he could not move his hands, he began rubbing his left arm against the saw on the ground. Judging that self-harm was challenging with the saw lying down, D-4001 was introduced to assist by propping up the saw. D-1023 then attempted to bring the left arm to the saw blade. However, at this point, D-1023 ceased all movement and was unable to continue the self-harm attempt until the experiment concluded. Subsequent examination revealed that the SCP-097-KO group had moved from the left antebrachial muscles to the spinal cord.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> Although D-1023 hesitated at the start of the experiment, SCP-097-KO demonstrated significantly quicker and more precise responses compared to Experiment 1-1. Additionally, the fact that the entire group of larvae rapidly relocated to a different parasitic site and successfully seized control of the host's bodily functions was an impressive outcome, exceeding expectations. This suggests that the SCP-097-KO group possesses a considerable level of collective intelligence.<br/> Given that SCP-097-KO has demonstrated the ability to relocate and change roles in response to external stimuli, it has been decided that all future experiments include brainwave analysis, regardless of the parasitic location of the SCP-097-KO group.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1-3: Resistance to Host's Actions</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> D-1026, infested with 4th instar larvae, is provided with tools such as a scalpel and saw and instructed to amputate his left arm.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Although the SCP-097-KO entities are not directly parasitising the arm, considering their reliance on the host's survival, it is expected that the SCP-097-KO group would intervene to prevent any self-harm attempts by the host. Given that SCP-097-KO has secured control of the host's central nervous system, it is anticipated that any self-harm attempt will be easily thwarted.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> Upon receiving the command, D-1506 requested that the research team provide a meat cutter. Once provided, D-1506 promptly used the cutter to sever the left arm without hesitation. The SCP-097-KO group belatedly attempted emergency measures, such as stopping the bleeding, but these efforts were largely ineffective, and D-1506 died within a few minutes. EEG readings indicated that after the amputation, D-1506 accepted death without further thought or command. An autopsy revealed that approximately 3,500 SCP-097-KO entities had moved to the severed area of the left arm, attempting haemostasis by expanding their bodies.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> It was observed that SCP-097-KO does not exert sufficient control over the host when in a partial parasitic state. Despite the SCP-097-KO group's ability to intercept and manipulate the host's neural signals, they were unable to prevent the self-harm attempt, which suggests that the entities are unable to fully interpret or understand human brain signals.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1-4: Resistance to Host's Actions</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> D-1509, infested with 3rd instar larvae throughout the body, is provided with tools such as a scalpel, saw, and cutter and instructed to amputate the left arm, one of the parasitised organs.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Given that SCP-097-KO has secured control over the host's entire body, it is expected that any self-harm attempt will be easily prevented.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> D-1509 examined the various tools before selecting the saw and making a small cut on the left arm. However, the action soon ceased, and D-1509 remained unresponsive until the tools were retrieved. EEG signals confirmed that the brain continued to issue commands to move the muscles, but these signals were not transmitted to the nervous system below the spinal cord.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> It has been determined that under normal circumstances, SCP-097-KO can suppress any sudden actions by the host that threaten the group starting from the 3rd instar stage. When correlated with Experiment 1-3 findings, it suggests that SCP-097-KO does not interpret the host's neural signals to respond but rather collects motor information from the SCP-097-KO larvae present in the affected area. Consequently, it was concluded that further experiments on the 4th instar stage were unnecessary and were not conducted.<br/> <br/> <strong>Note:</strong> After the experiment was completed, the Ethics Committee issued a warning about protecting D-Class personnel and conserving resources. Following a meeting between O5-2 and the Ethics Committee, it was confirmed that this experiment was deemed significantly necessary for the research on SCP-097-KO.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 2. Resistance to Host bodily damage</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> To understand how SCP-097-KO responds to a host's organ loss, a significant portion of D-1510's left trapezius muscle was surgically removed. This was intended to model the scenario in which SCP-097-KO consumes the host's organs, with the external muscle chosen to allow direct observation of the affected area. The wound was then monitored to observe the response of the 3rd instar SCP-097-KO group. Additional instructions were given to assess how the larvae compensate for the lost organ function.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Under normal circumstances, even when the host's organs are consumed as food, there are typically no significant impairments to the organ functions or the host's overall physical condition. Therefore, it is expected that the removal of the muscle in this experiment will likewise not result in any substantial disruption.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> When attempting to remove D-1510's trapezius muscle, D-1510 reacted with extreme resistance despite the same precautions taken in previous experiments. D-1510's brainwave patterns and facial expressions indicated that his own will did not drive this resistance. After restraining him with additional restraints, the procedure was completed.<br/> As the bleeding began, several SCP-097-KO larvae were observed being expelled with the blood, and the bleeding stopped after 3 minutes. D-1510 showed no signs of excessive blood loss or shock. Upon examining the wound, it was observed that the SCP-097-KO larvae in the affected area had expanded their bodies to suppress the bleeding, similar to what was seen in Experiment 1-3. Periodic component analysis of the wound site revealed that D-1510's body had increased platelet production and promoted muscle recovery. This response also occurred without any corresponding commands detected in D-1510's brainwave signals. Further examination with additional electrodes revealed that these commands were being issued from the upper spinal cord.<br/> D-1510 was instructed to lift his left arm before the excised area had fully healed to understand how the function of the lost organ was being compensated. During the initial attempts, D-1510 complained of mild pain and could not perform the task. After several repeated attempts, a group of SCP-097-KO larvae emerged from D-1510's left shoulder, biting into both the host's wound and each other to artificially replicate the missing muscle structure. Some larvae also reinforced this structure by producing silk to secure it in place. Once this process was completed, D-1510 attempted the command again and, though with some difficulty, successfully managed to lift his arm.<br/> Three weeks after the experiment was completed, D-1510's shoulder fully healed.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> Due to the active intervention of SCP-097-KO, D-1510's wound healed at an abnormally rapid pace. Across all these experiments, SCP-097-KO appeared to obtain situational information not from the host's biological signals but rather from other group members.<br/> This experiment revealed that SCP-097-KO can hijack the host's nerves and neurotransmitters in the neck, allowing it to issue complex commands that enhance the host's recovery speed. It was even confirmed that the larvae can temporarily replace the functions of the host's organs. Considering these findings, SCP-097-KO larvae can manipulate the host's recovery mechanisms and support the functions of the consumed organs, enabling them to maintain the host's bodily functions while feeding on the host's organs.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 3. Amputation of parasitised organ</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> The experiment involves observing the response of the SCP-097-KO 3rd instar larvae group when a body part they inhabit (in this case, D-1511's right arm) is completely separated from the host's body.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> The outcome of this experiment is difficult to predict. Considering SCP-097-KO's remarkable ability to manipulate the host, the larvae may attempt to restore the separated body part. However, since the limb would be physically severed and its function lost, it is uncertain whether this can be achieved. Given that a significantly larger number of SCP-097-KO larvae would be separated from the main body of the host compared to previous experiments, it is anticipated that they may attempt a more aggressive recovery effort.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> Following the procedure in Experiment 2, D-1511 was restrained, and the right forearm was severed using a cutter. Immediately after the amputation, the SCP-097-KO group within the forearm exhibited intense movement. For the first few minutes, it appeared the larvae attempted to reattach the severed limb as they crawled out from both cut surfaces, biting into each other to bridge the gap. However, when it became apparent that reattachment was not possible, the larvae in the severed forearm collectively began to escape. While some succeeded in returning to the body of the host, the majority failed to travel far outside the body and died.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> This experiment confirmed the limitations of SCP-097-KO's ability to promote recovery. Additionally, it was observed that the larvae that emerged from the host's body survived for only a few tens of seconds outside the host.</li> </ul> <p><br/> <br/></p> <h3 id="toc20"><span>2. Host Research</span></h3> <h4 id="toc21"><span>2.1. Host Recycling Research</span></h4> <p>The direct cause of host death due to SCP-097-KO is the loss of the cerebrum, diencephalon, medulla, and other critical brain structures. Based on this, it is hypothesised that if the destruction of the host's brain can be prevented during the SCP-097-KO's emergence process, it might be possible to reuse a previously utilised host for future parasitism.</p> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1. Blockage of body-to-brain passage of larvae</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> The neck of D-1528, parasitised by 4th instar larvae, was carefully severed, ensuring that the nerves, blood vessels, and airway remain connected while separating the head from the body. The head is then fixed at a slight distance from the body to prevent the SCP-097-KO larvae from migrating to the host's brain while ensuring the host's survival. Nutrients are provided via an IV drip, and a prefrontal lobotomy is performed on D-1528 beforehand to prevent resistance to the experiment.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> The fact that no successful experiments have been conducted where the head of a higher primate has been separated from its body remains a concern<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-3-83170a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-3')">3</a>]</sup>. However, if the host can be kept alive in this decapitated state, the experiment itself is expected to proceed successfully.<br/> However, Dr. Aura expressed concerns that "if SCP-097-KO cannot consume the host's brain, it may be unable to construct its cocoon structures, potentially leading to a significant loss of its wild nature and anomalous properties." Even if the experiment is successful, a thorough feasibility review is necessary before incorporating the results into the containment procedures.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> As the separation procedure was nearing completion, the SCP-097-KO larvae group finished moulting into the 5th instar stage. D-1528's physical condition remained stable, and it was observed that some larvae remained in the 4th instar stage to assist in maintaining D-1528's survival. Until the conclusion of the experiment, D-1528 remained in a generally healthy state, aside from experiencing severe starvation.<br/> After six days, the SCP-097-KO group detected the problem. Unable to move through the neck, the larvae spent an entire day moving chaotically throughout the host's body. On the seventh day, at 2:11 PM, five larvae attempted to move along the spinal cord and trachea. Although the researchers removed these larvae, the group began moving in unison. When it became impossible to prevent their movement, the research team decided to sever D-1528's nerves, trachea, and blood vessels, fully separating the head from the body. The larvae were initially confused and crawled out of the host's body. (Researcher Hariuchi described this as resembling "a mass of caterpillars from "<em>Hope for the Flowers</em>".") While the body of D-1528 continued to function due to the remaining 4th instar larvae, the 5th instar group did not survive and perished.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> It is concluded that SCP-097-KO must consume the host's brain tissue to undergo metamorphosis successfully.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <h4 id="toc22"><span>2.2. Non-human Replacement Host Research</span></h4> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1. Primate experiment</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> SCP-097-KO is parasitised on the bodies of bonobos, orangutans, and chimpanzees instead of humans. Each group is then matured under the same conditions previously applied to Class D personnel.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Considering the ecology of SCP-097-KO, there should be no significant issues during the larval stage. However, it is uncertain whether the brains of apes, which have significantly less understanding and knowledge of artificial structures than humans, will be suitable for SCP-097-KO's cocoon structure construction.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> The SCP-097-KO larvae groups survived and developed into 5th instar larvae as in human hosts. However, upon entering the metamorphosis stage and consuming the host's brain, all three groups failed to construct cocoon structures and subsequently died. The exact cause of this failure remains unknown.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> It is concluded that SCP-097-KO must consume human brain tissue to successfully undergo metamorphosis.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 2. Protein Dummy using cloned brain cells and <a href="/scp-427">SCP-427</a></strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> SCP-097-KO larvae are raised on a protein dummy modelled after the human body. Human brain cells are cloned and injected into the area corresponding to the head, and SCP-427 is applied for 1 minute to regenerate the brain tissue. The experiment is conducted in three separate groups to ensure stability.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> The brain's ability to store information relies on synaptic connections between neurons rather than the neurons themselves. If the application of SCP-427 is effective, it is presumed that fragmented architectural information stored in the injected brain cells could be transmitted to SCP-097-KO. However, whether the brain tissue will regenerate sufficiently to achieve this remains uncertain.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> The protein dummies were created using Dr. Isaac Stark's method<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-4-30559a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-4')">4</a>]</sup>, producing a total of three units. The brain of D-1528, extracted in a previous experiment, was broken down at the cellular level and replicated into three samples, each injected into one of the dummies. Nutrients were supplied to each dummy, and SCP-427 was applied for 1 minute. Subsequent EEG tests confirmed that most brain functions, excluding the frontal lobe, had been successfully revived.<br/> <br/> SCP-097-KO eggs were implanted into each dummy and raised for 315 days, with a continuous supply of nutrient solution provided to the dummies. After 312 days, the 5th instar larvae group in Dummy 2 began migrating to the brain. This group successfully consumed the brain and constructed the cocoon structure without issue. Subsequently, the larvae groups in Dummy 1 and Dummy 3 also completed their metamorphosis.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> The experiment demonstrated that SCP-097-KO can be successfully raised using artificially replicated and restored brain tissue. Incorporating this method into the containment procedures could significantly reduce the need for human resources, leading to a breakthrough in resource conservation.<br/> <br/> <strong>Note:</strong> A review was requested for the Ethics Committee due to steps similar to human cloning in the experimental process. The review concluded that the SCP Foundation does not prohibit human cloning<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-5-50442a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-5')">5</a>]</sup>, and in this case, since the process does not result in the full realisation of brain functions or self-awareness, there are no issues. However, considering the potential risks associated with the cloning of Class D personnel, the Ethics Committee adopted a resolution stating that the use of protein dummies and SCP-427 for artificial body creation is permitted only for pre-approved purposes, such as the production of hosts for SCP-097-KO.<sup>[<a class="bibcite" href="javascript:;" id="bibcite-6-81644a" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('bibitem-6')">6</a>]</sup><br/> Additionally, Dr. Aura's concern that SCP-097-KO may lose its ability to control hosts if raised in an environment lacking resistance over an extended period was acknowledged. As a result, the revised containment procedures include the direct use of Class D personnel for some of the SCP-097-KO groups.</li> </ul> <p><br/> <br/></p> <h2 id="toc23"><span>3. Research for spatial optimisation</span></h2> <p><br/></p> <h3 id="toc24"><span>1. Observation of SCP-097-KO adaptation relative to breeding ground space</span></h3> <p>The following experiments are conducted to check whether SCP-097-KO can adjust its group and structure size depending on the size of the breeding site. All three experiments were conducted with a host dummy and a pair of male and female adult SCP-097-KO instances put within the breeding ground. All three experiments were conducted simultaneously to shorten the experiment time.</p> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 1. 1 km<sup>2</sup> Breeding Site</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> An SCP-097-KO group is raised within a 1 km<sup>2</sup> wide breeding site, half of what is currently provided. The height of the site is 9 metres.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> The average base area of the cocoon structures built by SCP-097-KO in the current containment facilities is 1.2 km², with the largest recorded structure covering up to 1.95 km². However, in most cases, the structures typically fall just below or around 1 km², so the group is expected to successfully construct their cocoon structure without significant issues in the reduced space.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> The SCP-097-KO group spent 312 days in the larval stage before constructing their cocoon structure, which had a base area of 0.6 km<sup>2</sup>. The structure was subsequently incinerated and demolished.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> Observations revealed that the structure built by the SCP-097-KO group in the 1 km<sup>2</sup> area was significantly smaller than those constructed in the 2 km<sup>2</sup> area. Although the number of experiments conducted is insufficient to draw definitive conclusions, it is hypothesised that SCP-097-KO may be able to adjust the size of its structures based on the available containment area.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 2. 10,000 m<sup>2</sup> Breeding Site</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> The SCP-097-KO group is raised in a containment area measuring 100 meters by 100 meters, with a total area of 10,000 m<sup>2</sup>.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Given that the containment area is 200 times smaller than the original, it is expected that while growth may proceed without significant issues, constructing a cocoon structure will likely be challenging.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> The female SCP-097-KO laid approximately 170,000 eggs, about half the usual number. After 320 days in the larval stage, the SCP-097-KO group emerged from the host and began constructing a cocoon structure with a base area of 9,200 m<sup>2</sup>. The structure was subsequently incinerated and demolished.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> It was observed that SCP-097-KO not only adjusts the size of its structures based on the available area but also regulates the number of individuals in the group accordingly. Additionally, the completed structure's size was less than the provided area of 10,000 m<sup>2</sup>. This aligns with the hypothesis that SCP-097-KO modifies both the population size and the scale of its structures according to the conditions of its habitat.</li> </ul> <p><br/></p> <ul> <li><strong>Experiment 3. 100 m<sup>2</sup> Breeding Site</strong><br/> <br/> <strong>Experiment Design:</strong> The SCP-097-KO group is raised in a containment area measuring 10 meters by 10 meters, with a total area of 100 m<sup>2</sup>.<br/> <br/> <strong>Hypothesis:</strong> Given that the containment area is 20,000 times smaller than the original, it is expected that while growth may proceed without significant issues, constructing a cocoon structure will likely be challenging.<br/> <br/> <strong>Results:</strong> The female SCP-097-KO laid approximately 90,000 eggs, four times fewer than usual. After spending 325 days in the larval stage, the SCP-097-KO group emerged from the host and began constructing a cocoon structure with a base area of 99.1 m<sup>2</sup>. The structure was subsequently incinerated and demolished.<br/> <br/> <strong>Analysis:</strong> This experiment also demonstrated that SCP-097-KO adjusts its behaviour to fit the available area. The hypothesis that SCP-097-KO regulates its population size and the scale of its structures according to the conditions of its habitat has been confirmed.<br/> <br/> <strong>Note:</strong> It was confirmed that SCP-097-KO can adapt to an area of 100 m²; however, there is a concern that an excessively reduced population could weaken its ability to control the host. Therefore, it has been decided to provide a larger area in the containment procedures to mitigate this risk.</li> </ul> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <h2 id="toc25"><span><strong>Ⅴ. Conclusions</strong></span></h2> </div> <p><br/> <br/> The research findings presented above can significantly improve the containment procedures for SCP-097-KO. Accordingly, the following revised special containment procedures are proposed.</p> <blockquote> <p>All wild SCP-097-KO specimens, except for the twenty-five currently maintained groups, are to be exterminated. The SCP-097-KO containment breeding wing, an auxiliary facility of Site-19, must be maintained at room temperature at all times, with each group allocated a habitat area of 10,000 m². The height of each breeding wing must be at least 9 meters. During the metamorphosis period, Foundation personnel must continuously monitor to ensure that SCP-097-KO adults do not escape from the breeding wing.</p> <p>Every May, two Class D personnel are selected by having them draw a "house" under the pretence of a psychological test, with the most ordinary and conventional houses being chosen. One of these individuals is to have their central nervous system extracted and replicated to create 24 protein dummies (refer to attached document 097KO-D for the dummy creation method). The dummies and the other selected Class D personnel will be introduced into the SCP-097-KO containment enclosures to serve as hosts for the larvae. The Class D personnel should be rotated annually between the containment enclosures. When introducing a Class D individual into a containment enclosure, they must be gagged and their limbs restrained to prevent resistance. During the 10.5-month larval growth period, sufficient nutrients must be supplied to the host via IV or other means.</p> <p>After approximately one month of pupation, once the SCP-097-KO larvae have completed metamorphosis, containment team personnel should be deployed to dismantle the collapsed cocoon structure. Since mating occurs again within a week, the next host should be introduced immediately.</p> </blockquote> <p><br/> <br/></p> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

Despite the characteristics of the anomaly actually helping to conceal its activities from civilian personnel, they also make it capable of evading any attempt at interference or capture by the Foundation. Development of a strategy for definitive containment is still ongoing, therefore operations must necessarily be limited to monitoring and cover-up procedures.</p> <p><a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/squadre-speciali-mobili#SIR-I">SIR-I</a> (<em>"Aureæ Notitiæ"</em>) is charged with the surveillance of <em>locus-100</em> in the event of SCP-100-IT's activity. To facilitate operations, the area was divided into six sectors; the undercover field agents will coordinate with a command post assigned for each sector. Any sighting of SCP-100-IT is to be reported, and other operatives in the proximity are to converge in place to carry out a containment attempt. The conclusion of operations is dependent on certainty that SCP-100-IT has fulfilled its standard purpose, otherwise any deployment has to proceed until the end of the current activity event.</p> <p>Given the potential media relevance of SCP-100-IT-related events, preventing any leak or civilian investigation on the matter is of foremost priority. Any evidence of the crimes must be concealed (with the use of amnestics as a last resort) by the surveillance agents themselves or by the members of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/squadre-speciali-mobili#SIR-II">SIR-II</a> infiltrated into the local police; the latter are tasked with informing the relatives and/or close ones of the victims, providing them with a plausible and definitive cover-up of the events.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:400px;"><img alt="SCP-000-IT-C.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-100-it/SCP-000-IT-C.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Photography of SCP-100-IT-C (on the left), behind a tourist, 1982.</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-100-IT is the collective designation of a group of four humanoid entities (SCP-100-IT-A, B, C and D) whose presence has been documented exclusively within the limits of <em>locus-100</em>, which is a provisional denomination assigned to Old Town Venice (approximately 7.9 km<sup>2</sup>, excluding the waters) during the eleven canonical days of the Carnival<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p> <p>The humanoids do not exhibit any evident anomalous trait, and can be seen wandering (alone or in groups) around the city's streets, though it has never been possible to locate their source of provenance; moreover, there were many instances of consecutive sightings in areas very distant from each other, suggesting abnormal displacement abilities. Each entity plays a role derived from the Carnival tradition: their disguises — which include masks, gloves, and headdresses — manage to show no bare skin, with the prevalence of black colour as a shared feature.</p> <ul> <li>SCP-100-IT-A is a tall and slender male, who plays the role of a <span class="hover">domino<span><img alt="SCP-000-IT-A.jpg" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-100-it/SCP-000-IT-A.jpg"/></span></span><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>, easily recognizable by a walking stick with a golden knob, depicting the winged lion of Saint Mark.

SCP-100-IT-D is cheerful and extroverted, resorting to dance and acrobatics to draw attention to himself, and often attempting to involve others in its performances.</li> </ul> <p>In the first stage, which appears to last for an unpredictable number of days, the entities will simply restrict themselves to the aforementioned behaviors; eventually, however, a distinctive event is bound to take place, each year repeated following a consistent pattern: SCP-100-IT will approach an individual, then proceed to encircle, restrain, and forcibly drag them out of sight; the choice is assumed to be random. Following this event, all traces of both SCP-100-IT (which will not manifest until the following Carnival) and the victim will be lost — what happens to the latter after the kidnapping is still to be determined, as bodies nor other significant clues have ever been found — please refer to the attached addenda for further information.</p> <p>What apparently makes containment unworkable is the fact that SCP-100-IT seem to possess mild mind-altering and probability-bending abilities. As confirmed by later interrogations, no witness appear to take notice of the kidnapping in progress, while those who are already aware of the anomalous nature of SCP-100-IT do; furthermore, the circumstances of the encounters seem to vary in the right measure to make every attempt to approach the entities fail, such as manifesting themselves at a distance that allows them to disappear before being reached, or the recurring presence of obstacles (vehicles, people etc.) to block the path, or the view of the agents. This suggests SCP-100-IT is aware of being targeted and can influence the probabilistic field of the surrounding environment to avoid capture.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▶ Addendum 100-IT 01: History of the anomaly</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">◀◀◀ Addendum 100-IT 01: History of the anomaly</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Collecting information on SCP-100-IT activities prior to the 19th century was indeed difficult because of the strict connection the anomaly seems to have with the carnival period; the ancient Venetian Carnival had a canonical duration of six weeks, during which many took advantage of the festivity to perform illegal acts in complete anonymity. The long period of activity and the high number of unsolved crimes would therefore prevented patterns to emerge clearly.</p> <p>With the fall of the Republic of Venice in 1797 by the Napoleonic troops (followed by the cession to Austria with the treaty of Campoformio), public holidays were prohibited by law, fearing that they could encourage popular uprisings; the kidnappings thus began to be evident, also because, in the lack of an official holiday, the active period dropped from six to only two weeks, overlapping with the standard Catholic Carnival. Below is a short excerpt, translated from German, of a letter sent to the Austrian Emperor Francis I of Habsburg in 1804:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>[…] Only at first glance Venice would seem to be definitively subjugated to the imperial eagle. The Venetians, deprived of their centuries-old traditions, react with hostility towards our administrators. An emblematic example are the mysterious disappearances that occur every year during the Carnival. The rumors speak of individuals who, violating our laws, roam the streets in disguise and it cannot be excluded that these facts may be linked to the activities of clandestine independentist groups. We therefore advise to continue with the course of action adopted so far by hiding all traces of these events, to avoid that they may be an inspiration for acts of a revolutionary nature. […]</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Following the annexation of Lombardy-Venetia to the new Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the men of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/gruppi-di-interesse#RIDIA">RIDIA</a>, suspicious of how the disappearances occurred, were the first to realize their anomalous nature, so they were the first eyewitnesses of any kidnappings; the personnel of Site Serenissima was appointed to study the anomaly (which was assigned the denomination <span class="hover">Nero-194<span><strong>[INVALID CREDENTIALS] N.B.</strong> Consult Site Plutone's Deputy Director Bellini to access RIDIA's archives.</span></span>) and dealt with the cover-ups and several unsuccessful capture attempts until the dissolution of the institute in 1946.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:270px;"><img alt="Locus.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-100-it/Locus.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>The six sectors of <em>locus-100</em>, as established since 1980.</p> </div> </div> <p>When the Foundation replaced RIDIA in the containment of the now designated SCP-100-IT, it had to deal with the fact that the methods implemented by its predecessors had not always been effective; rumors not suppressed by the institute had led to the birth of a local myth, the "Spetro Imascarà", a ghost linked to the Carnival period. SIR-I then began a thorough process of retroactive cover-up, ultimately relegating the "ghost" to a baseless urban legend.</p> <p>When at the end of the 1970s the city of Venice chose to restore the Carnival, it was the Foundation, through infiltrated agents, that pushed for the realization of the project, to make the anomaly more easily concealable.

Manchi:</strong> To all agents from the eastern DO sector, converge on the SP sector from the Accademia Bridge; humanoid D has been spotted near Palazzo Cavalli. <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Eugenia, this is Agent Battaglia. It's dead calm over here; if they need reinforcements, I can be there. ETA ten minutes.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> It's better not, I already had to deploy two agents from your area elsewhere; we need you there to maintain coverage.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Today our friends seem particularly restless.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Aren't they? I noticed too, they keep appearing and disappearing at alarming frequency. They keep up like this, we are going to ask for support; some units from SIR-II would be much helpful.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> They've already lost sight of humanoid D, haven't they?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Yeah, but how can you…</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Because the bastard is right in front of me.</p> <p><em>SCP-100-IT-D can be seen on the opposite bank of the canal in front of the church, performing for a group of cheering tourists.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Update, 100-IT-D has reappeared at Rio de le Terese, agents nearby converge on site.</p> <p><em>Agt. Battaglia takes off his mask, puts it inside his jacket, and heads towards the bridge between the two banks, but is slowed down by a group of passers-by, who block the view for a few seconds; when it is restored there is no trace left of SCP-100-IT-D and the tourists have already dispersed.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Of course; hold your horses, Eugenia, he has fooled us again.</p> <p><em>A male voice is heard screaming and crying for help; the agent turns abruptly. At the end of the street the four entities can be seen for a moment dragging a man away, just before turning around the corner.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Event X happening now! All sectors, converge into San Nicolò! Agent Battaglia needs backup!</p> <p><em>The agent rushes in pursuit of the entities; around the corner, he scans his surroundings for a few seconds, until his attention is called by a new cry for help. Inside the canal, humanoids A and D lead a wooden rowboat towards the lagoon; on the same boat humanoids B and C keep the screaming man restrained. A gondolier, oblivious to the situation, smiles and waves in their direction.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Marco, our guys are coming, but the closest ones are eight minutes away; it seems that all the roads in your direction are clogged. It will also take a while to get a suitable vehicle; it's the first time 100-IT has ever left the mainland.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> <em>[He hesitates briefly in front of a gondola moored by the banks of the canal, then proceeds to untie the hawser]</em> Oh hell, when in Venice do as the Venetians…</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> We have at least four reality-benders capable of incapacitating a grown man. Are you sure this is a good idea?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> I'm armed and you have my coordinates, don't you? Wherever I go, you all can easily get back on me. Right now, the priority is not to lose sight of 100-IT.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Can't argue with that. Maintain a safe distance and, until you see the reinforcements, do not engage, got it?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Got it. <em>[Begins to row in the direction of SCP-100-IT]</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Good luck, agent.</p> <p><em>SCP-100-IT leaves the canal and enters the lagoon, followed by Agent Battaglia; humanoid B seems to address humanoid A, when their boat speeds up. After a few minutes, the distance between the agent and the entities has increased considerably; the man's screams become more and more feeble.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Damn, I'm losing them! Tell me someone is coming along with a speedboat; a helicopter ain't a bad idea, too.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> We got your coordinates, a team is heading to the docks in the SC sector, now.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> You'd better tell them to hurry up, we are well past sunset, visibility is getting worse — and now, this damn fog, too; I'm going to completely lose visual contact in a few minutes.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Do you think this is 100-IT's doing?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Fog is common here this period of the year, we have also had it the last few days. Can't quite rule it out, though.</p> <p><em>The fog grows thicker and slowly SCP-100-IT is no longer visible.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Proceed nonetheless, we cannot leave anything to chance; maybe they are still somewhere nearby.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> I will, but it's better to keep our hopes low. They manage to get out of sight and then it's like they never existed, you know that. Maybe this time they just wanted to do some wee bit of cat and mouse playing — <em>[Stops]</em> Oh …</p> <p><em>In the middle of the fog some lights can be seen, followed by the outlines of a building. More closely, the building turns out to be a two-story brick house placed at the center of a small island, with the lights coming from its windows; moored by a wooden pier is the boat used by SCP-100-IT.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Now there's a house in the middle of nowhere?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Nothing unusual, such small islands are of little interest to the administration, so they are often bought by private citizens.</p> <p><em>The agent reaches the dock, gets off the gondola and secures the hawser.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Your support will arrive in a few minutes; orders are to standby and wait. Even if 100-IT are there, you can't face them on your own.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> That guy might not have a few minutes… <em>[Proceeds towards the house]</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Marco…</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> Eugenia, I've been part of these operations since I joined the squad; every single year, I had to witness those lousy shits drag innocent civilians away just to wriggle out right under our noses. I'm not going to miss this one out, and if it's for the Captain, don't worry. It's my call, and you can put all the blame on me.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> If things go wrong, the captain could be the least of your problems.</p> <p><em>The agent cautiously approaches a window and peeks inside for a few moments.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> <em>[Whispering]</em> Okay, looks like a ordinary private party; judging by this furnishing, the hosts must have a lot of money to burn… Silk curtains, silverware on display… I'm looking for an access, you have my position.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Marco, you know I can't let you, please… <em>[Agent Battaglia puts on the mask again and turns off the earpiece, cutting off radio contact; the bodycam continues to transmit images]</em></p> <p><em>After a brief inspection, the agent forces the lock of a window with his pocketknife, and then enters an empty hallway; at the end of the hallway, he finds an antechamber, followed by an arch leading to the hall where the celebrations are taking place. A man is intent on playing on a pipe organ and none of those present, about thirty masked men and women, seem to notice the newcomer, who mingles with the crowd. As the agent walks through the room, the microphone of the bodycam records fragments of conversation, all in Venetian. After ending his inspection, the agent withdraws pretending to look out of a window, then reactivates the earpiece.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> <em>[In an agitated tone]</em> Are you out of your mind?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> <em>[Whispering]</em> No, Eugenia, let me speak. This house… there's something odd. There is no trace of electronic devices, the furniture is something you would find in a museum, the only light source is candles, and I have yet to hear a single person speaking Italian. Everything is just too weird, they're not just eccentric rich people. Reinforcements should be here by now, right?</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Marco, now listen to me… the reinforcements arrived at your coordinates four minutes ago. The tracker has never stopped working, your bodycam has always been active, but… there is no house, no island; there is no fog too, just water.</p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> How on earth is this possible…</p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Get out of there immediately, maybe if you go back to the boat, and retrace your steps…</p> <p><em>The music suddenly stops, and the guests turn in unison towards one of the entrances to the hall, as if they are waiting for someone. A man dressed as a domino, with a red cloak, paces towards the center of the room, immediately followed by SCP-100-IT; humanoid B pushes a cart, on which the kidnapped man is lying naked, gagged, and restrained with ropes, his eyes wide open with fear.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Manchi:</strong> Marco, get the hell out of there! Now!</p> <p><em>Agent Battaglia attempts to make his way to the only unblocked exit, which is located behind SCP-100-IT, so the bodycam keeps recording the scene. At a gesture of the domino, the guests take off their masks; all their faces appear pockmarked, covered by buboes and dark necrotic areas. The closest humanoids throw themselves on the cart and dig their fingers into the man's flesh, causing lacerations on his body and face; the gag is removed, and the man screams in agony before passing out from shock, while the entities bring shreds of skin and muscle to their mouths. Two of them grab one arm and pull until it disarticulates, then sink their teeth into it; pieces of meat are passed from hand to hand, so that all can feed.</em></p> <p><strong>Agt. Battaglia:</strong> [EXPLICIT]!</p> <p><em>The agent runs towards the exit, but two humanoids block his way; he pulls his handgun out of the jacket, but, before he can shoot, he is tackled from behind, disarmed and dragged to the ground. Multiple instances can be seen converging on the agent lying on his back, who can do nothing but scream and kick, before being surrounded and restrained. SCP-100-IT-C, unmasked, leans over Agent Battaglia; her complexion is pale, her eyes green and hyperemic, the nose is missing, while the left cheek is consumed by the necrosis, showing the teeth and the inside of her mouth. SCP-100-IT-C places a hand on the agent's chest, hesitating near the bodycam; then, with unexpected force, she suddenly tightens her grip and sticks her nails inside his chest, tearing the clothes and the flesh underneath. Agent Battaglia screams in pain and, as blood begins to flow from his wounds, the humanoids throw themselves on his body. In the struggle, the bodycam is damaged and video contact is interrupted.</em><br/></p> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong><end of the log></strong></p> </div> <hr/> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Upon arrival of the support agents, no trace of the island shown in the records was found, although the coordinates undoubtedly corresponded to the last detected position of Agent Battaglia; the most likely hypothesis, according to the experts of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/siti-italiani#Site-Deus">Site Deus</a>, is a spatial dislocation, with two versions of the same place coexisting on two distinct plains of reality.</p> <p>The victim was identified as G██████ S█████████ (36 years old, married, resident of T██████, visiting Venice for the Carnival) and the SIR has implemented standard cover-up procedures; Agent Battaglia was reported as MIA.</p> </div> <br/> <br/> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note from Captain Sara Giovanni (SIR-I)</span>:</strong> <em>We do not know for sure why, in an unprecedented turn of events, Agent Battaglia was able to follow SCP-100-IT to the place of the incident; the entities have never encountered any problems in covering their tracks, so I must assume that what happened was the result of a conscious planning. These monsters have given us a warning, letting us know what exactly happens to their victims and that we are not safe either. Or perhaps, for the first time in years, they have decided to change the rules, just for their sick fun.

Rubble on the surface suggests the island hosted a building, and under that the instruments have detected a hollow environment not occupied by water, whose access was located in an underwater cave.</p> <p>The location was assigned the denomination of <em>locus-100/1</em> and a joint operation of <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/squadre-speciali-mobili#SSM-II">SSM-II</a> (<em>"Legio Atlantidis"</em>) and <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/squadre-speciali-mobili#SSM-VII">SSM-VII</a> (<em>"Subterranea Materia"</em>) was prepared.

Basilio Aramini from SSM-II.<br/> <strong>Agents on Mission:</strong> Giorgio Corradi, Eleonora Mazza and Giovanni Scilla from SSM-VIII/γ.<br/> <strong>Support Agents:</strong> Nino Flaviani, Aurelia Mancini and Matteo Rivoletti from SSM-II/α.<br/> <strong>Special Equipment:</strong> No. 6 Vincenzi respirators.<br/> <strong>Mission Objective:</strong> Exploration of <em>locus-100/1</em>.</p> <hr/> <p>SSM-II/α assisted SSM-VIII/γ in the first stage of the operation. The six agents with diving gear reached the entrance to the cave and, after a couple of minutes spent advancing underwater, emerged into a dry space, where they came up in a narrow tunnel carved into the rock, towards the interior of the underground system. SSM-VIII/γ removes the diving gear and replaces it with the speleological one (transported inside watertight bags); SSM-II/α is ordered to hold the position, with the role of support team, to ensure rapid evacuation in the eventuality of an incident.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:220px;"><img alt="Simboli.png" class="image" src="https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-100-it/Simboli.png"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Artistic reproduction of the most common symbols of <em>locus-100/1</em>.</p> </div> </div> <p>After about seven minutes, SSM-VIII/γ reached the end of the tunnel: on the right they found an ascending staircase carved in stone (which once had to lead inside the building), on the left there is another tunnel; after a few steps up the staircase, their path is blocked by a landslide caused by the collapse of the building foundations. The path through the second tunnel is short, but difficult, due to the presence of a pavement made up of small blocks of irregular shape; along the walls, there are several carved symbols, more and more frequent as the squad proceed towards the center of the island. A closer inspection reveals the blocks to be vertebral bones.</p> <p>At the end of the tunnel, the agents emerge into a large cave with a domed ceiling, with several openings to smaller secondary chambers; the cave has the same symbols as before carved on all the walls and contains a large number of human bones. Many of these bones are part of the architecture of the cave, with skulls and kneecaps embedded in the rock like mosaics tiles; some are arranged to form more complex structures, like arches and small altars, many others lie scattered on the floor. In the center of the cave, there is a well about six meters in diameter, filled almost to the brim with human skeletons.</p> <p>Forensics allowed to identify, also through 3D facial reconstruction techniques, part of the (almost 400) human remains found in <em>locus-100/1</em>: the features correspond to those of known SCP-100-IT victims (including Agent Battaglia) and all skeletons show signs of multiple traumatic injuries, suggesting violent death; the agent's remains were handed over to his family for obsequies. Radiocarbon dating established that, though, all deaths invariably occurred around the 17th century.</p> <p>These data don't match with the dates of the kidnappings, distributed over several centuries, also considering that the most recent crimes were logically supposed to produce better preserved remains. The previously hypothesized dislocation would therefore extend not only to the spatial domain, but also to the temporal one; the murders would take place in a version of the island placed in a time and place outside our reality, but still related to it to some extent, returning the corpses to <em>locus-100/1</em>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">▶ Addendum 100-IT 04: Document 100-IT</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">◀◀◀ Addendum 100-IT 04: Document 100-IT</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>In one of the secondary chambers of <em>locus-100/1</em> a pile of clothes and other everyday objects from different time periods was found, probably removed from the bodies of the victims after the kidnappings; among them there was a leather bag containing a single document, which includes important information regarding the origin of SCP-100-IT.

These sorcerers, it was written, possessed the secret to a much longer existence than normal, unscathed by disease, and were capable of conjuring, through bloody rituals, red and deformed servants who obeyed them like puppets.</em></p> <p><em>It wasn't without some arguing lest we decided it was some subject worth investigating, and even if we were the most unsure those peoples still lived, we longed to get our hands on some valuable artifact produced by those astonishing arcane crafters. For the expedition, the head of our company Sir Morosini picked five of us, including myself, naturally in charge of reporting in detail what we would encounter. Since we needed a native guide and we much preferred the company of a Christian over a Turk's, we paid an Armenian man to accompany, for his people had always been on good terms with the Republic</em></p> <p><em>We entrusted Sir Lorenzo Falier to lead the expedition, for his courtesy and elegance masked a cunning and scheming disposition. It was well known to us that he aspired to the position of councilman, thus harbouring resentment towards more deserving candidates, Morosini included, which is why the latter took every opportunity to keep him at a distance. Then there were Marino and Sebastiano, may their souls rest in peace, two of the most valid maùcarioli the College has ever counted among its ranks, both tied to me by a years old bond of friendship. Our quintet was completed by Fosco Bernardi, finest merchant but a very wretched man, who many thought capable of selling even his own soul if this had brought him but a meager gain. In hindsight, this choice of words elicits in me a bitter laugh.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-2" style="display:none"> <p><em>We reached our destination after two weeks and a day spent climbing through harsh rocky cliffs. What we found filled our hearts with amazement, but of the kind mixed with disgust and disappointment. The settlement was real, as were its inhabitants, but our hope of stumbling upon an oasis of eastern magic had been proved wrong. It was barely a hamlet, made of houses carved in stone not unlike others in the province, with straw and raw wool in place of the marbles and fine silks we expected. A horrible stench reminiscent of rotten meat blighted the air, compared to which the smell of the marshes of the lagoon seemed like a spring breeze. The natives were a bunch of old, half-naked men and women, accompanied by a small flock of emaciated sheep. The sores over their wrinkly olive skin hinted for past courses of epidemics, which apparently had not been able to put an end to those miserable existences. Judging from what's in front of our very eyes, the long life they were said to have been gifted seemed more like a curse than a blessing.</em></p> <p><em>We were greeted by an unsettling old man of an indecipherable age, who introduced himself as a priest. The man spoke a strange language, but when he realized we weren't understanding him, he continued in what we recognized as a Greek dialect, mixed with several unknown words. Most of us were familiar with Greek, either by study or by necessity, so, not short of difficulty, we managed to communicate. When we introduced ourselves as nothing more than simple travelers, the old man didn't question our story and, strangely enough, he didn't seem quite eager to know more about those who were — no doubt — the first outsiders he had seen since so long only the Heavens know how much. A tour of the village confirmed there was no trace of any prodigy, and the only sign of religious activity was a small sacrificial altar, covered with burned sheep bones. In the end we decided to leave the next day.</em></p> <p><em>The priest invited us to spend the night in his home, to share dinner and hear him recount the stories of his people. Truth be told, we felt a certain discomfort in the presence of that man, who, although seemingly thoughtful, had such a grim stare and such grotesque features to deprive him of any semblance of humanity. Driven by necessity and curiosity, however, we gladly accepted.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-3" style="display:none"> <p><em>The meal was rather meager, but the old man's stories were at least entertaining. They spoke of an ancient prophet, a sorcerer king born into slavery who, in a long-lost past, had freed their people from the tyranny of a demonic race. They spoke of wars fought against armored giants, whose minds were empty and whose hearts did not beat. They spoke of a city, their homeland, of which nothing was left but dust. This was their past, but their present had them scattered around the four corners of the Earth, forced to celebrate their rites in secret, fearing the giants could return and exterminate them. The prophet, however, had been clear and, from the rooms where he conferred with their god with an unpronounceable name, he had come out with a promise, which I will try to translate. "As long as blood flows inside veins like wine, as long as flocks of men fatten on the pastures of Earth, as long as the heath of the flesh is able to break the cold chains of reason, then His people will suffer no hunger." Only now that the echoes of these words have reached more civilized shores, I understand the meaning of this impious prophecy.</em></p> <p><em>The old man went on to describe the precepts of that barbaric faith. He told us their god encouraged his followers to indulge in all of earthly pleasures and that even the lowest drives deserve to be satisfied. Only those without remorse were deemed worthy to take part in their rites, as they would make good use of the godly gifts, exploiting them to satiate their appetites and subdue the weak and the undeserving. We were all horrified by those satanic teachings, except for Bernardi, who seemed extremely interested.</em></p> <p><em>That night, after I was finally able to sleep, my nightmares were filled with horrible visions. Dreadful chimeras with flesh of a fiery bright red, hellish landscapes in which the rhythm of the drums accompanied scenes of perdition and violence beyond words, skulls with still attached shreds of skin that sank their teeth into the bodies of helpless souls. And, in the midst of the pandemonium, the old priest, an evil grin distorting his face, reciting ancient guttural litanies.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-4" style="display:none"> <p><em>I felt very relieved when, the next morning, we left that God-forsaken village behind. I was surprised to notice that Bernardi, the only one who did not seem at all troubled by that place, was also the most anxious to leave, so much that he was already up when the rest of us had just awakened. These facts, now that I know what I know, take on a whole other meaning, but in those moments I didn't even notice that his bag was heavier than when we had first arrived.</em></p> <p><em>Even if that experience had troubled me, the village was certainly not one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen, so I was quick to forget about it. After that, I spent another two years at the service of the College, before deciding I was done with adventures. As a patrician and a man of letters, warmly recommended by the leaders of the Popilian Academy, it was not difficult to find a quiet and well-paid job in the offices of the Doge's Palace. However, I happened to reunite often with Sebastiano and Marino, when they returned from their travels, and then we would spend whole nights informing each other of every possible news. They entertained me with stories about the astonishing artifacts they still recovered from port to port, while I kept them up to date on the nonetheless fascinating intrigues of the city who only the naive would seriously call the Most Serene.</em></p> <p><em>There was one topic in particular to be on everyone's lips and that topic was none other than Fosco Bernardi. The merchant had left the College not long after our expedition in Cappadocia, announcing he preferred to engage in other types of trades, dealing with more conventional goods, which turned out to be much more profitable for him. He had begun investing in a long line of activities, from textiles to glassworks, from the construction industry to the shipbuilding one, and since then his rise had been steady and unchallenged. Like King Midas, everything he put his hands on turned into gold, in the form of ducats piling up in his pockets. It was a mystery how he always managed to find the best deal, whether by the whims of chance, or by an innate wit that had remained dormant for years.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-5" style="display:none"> <p><em>His prestige grew along with his incomes, and it was almost comical to see patricians and notables, who in the past wouldn't have given him a second look, begging for crumbs from his table. As far as servility goes, however, no one could beat Lorenzo Falier. The merchant and the nobleman seemed to have developed a very close bond and they were often seen together, discussing who knows what obscure matters. Luck had also assisted Falier, but under more unpleasant circumstances. Half of the College's Council had perished when the newly appointed Morosini had contracted a terrible disease, infecting all the others. The disease, different from any known affliction, manifested itself as a series of gangrenes, which pulsated as if they had a life of their own and in a short time ended up covering the patient's whole body. For lack of better candidates, Falier had therefore fulfilled his dream of becoming a councilman.</em></p> <p><em>Bernardi had also decided to give himself a manor worthy of his rank, which he built on the Centenaria<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-7" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-7')">7</a></sup>, an island not too far from the Giudecca, which he filled with all kinds of luxuries. He also allowed his elder sister to live with him, a woman still renown for her fair looks despite being already at her third widowhood. There were weird rumors surrounding the deaths of her husbands, none of them provable, but they were enough to discourage even the most assiduous suitors, who shied away from those eyes as green as emeralds and just as cold. Along with the sister, came the nephew, the son of her first husband, a young man who was as foolish as he was wicked. Everybody knew of that one time when, disguised as a woman, he had tried to sneak into a convent, with the ill purpose of taking advantage of the novice nuns.</em></p> <p><em>Despite posing as a gentleman, Bernardi had remained a small-minded individual and a slave to his own instincts and no velvet or silver could ever be able to hide his vulgarity. The man saw himself as a king and, proving once again his wretchedness, he had hired a drunk fool to play the role of his jester, who followed him like a dog and annoyed everyone with his antics. There was no vice to which the merchant did not indulge, and his enormous wealth did not preclude any. He spent his nights between taverns, brothels, and gambling halls, accompanied by peers as sordid as himself, to the point one would have wondered how he could maintain the clarity to keep managing his many activities.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-6" style="display:none"> <p><em>And then 1630 came, one of the saddest years in the history of the Republic. When we greeted the ambassadors of Duke Gonzaga, whom we supported in his claim to the throne of Mantua, along with the news on the progress of the war, they brought with them something much more unpleasant. The plague claimed its first victims in the summer, but by November the dead were already numbered in the thousands. The commissioners appointed by the Doge worked hard to reduce the contagions, the Old Lazaret was soon filled with the diseased and even many among the healthy were placed in isolation out of caution. Tons of dead bodies, sometimes even thrown out of the windows, continued to pile up in the streets or floated miserably inside the canals. Given the circumstances, no one was surprised when the Carnival was canceled and the only masks around were the long-beaked ones worn by the doctors.</em></p> <p><em>However, some disquieting rumors began to spread, rumors of masked individuals who wandered the streets at night, always described in the act of dragging the bodies away. To avoid panic, our government led people to think they were appointed corpse carriers, but a commission, that counted myself among its members, was secretly set up, since individuals who went around stealing corpses were not only a sign of sinister matters, but also a risk to public health. To help in the investigation, a group of a few trusted agents was formed, and I proposed Marino and Sebastiano, whose skill and discretions I deemed unquestionable, since even the expeditions on behalf of the College had been suspended.</em></p> <p><em>It was Sebastiano to surprise a mattaccino carrying the lifeless body of a girl into an alley, with what purposes I dare not to imagine. Unmasking him, we found him to be Bernardi's jester. Even after an hour of torture, the simpleton kept giggling like a madman; he said Shrove Tuesday was upon us and one should have filled his stomach before Lent, but there was plenty of meat for those who were willing to look in the mud of the pigsties.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-7" style="display:none"> <p><em>We went to the Centenaria to question Bernardi. Chants and shouts suggested the epidemic had not stopped the merchant from indulging in his revelries, but when we broke in, the sight before us exceeded the worst of expectations. A lavish buffet had been set up, but it was not on capons or mutton chops the guests were throwing themselves like ravenous beasts, staining their chins and clothes with red juices.</em></p> <p><em>Arms, shins, and innards had been laid on fine porcelain plates, along with other unmentionable body parts, while half a human chest was gloomily roasting impaled on a spit. The guests consisted in the court of parasites, pimps, and harlots with whom Bernardi had surrounded himself, disguised as it was expected in that time of the year. Sitting next to the host, who was wrapped in a red cloak, there were the treacherous Falier, his face buried in a pile of intestines, and his cold sister, intent on devouring a head that she held on her lap with almost motherly tenderness. On the floor, the wicked nephew, wearing a floral dress, was savagely biting what seemed to be a single female breast. One detail made it all, if possible, even more dreadful. Both the meats and the guests were covered with buboes.</em></p> <p><em>The hangings took place in secret, also because members of the patriciate were involved. The manor was burned down and demolished, and it was said a fire had broken out by mistake, killing all the occupants. Bernardi, helped by who knows what demonic force, spent almost two hours writhing, purple in the face, before expiring, even though his neck had already been broken by the noose. His throat was still capable of vomiting blasphemies and profanities, invoking the forces of hell to annihilate his tormentors. Yaldabat, Ion, Clavigar, Ikunan, Aditum, all names I knew, as I had already heard them in the past, from the old priest's lips. Fosco Bernardi left his mortal existence with a curse and once again I was reached by the echoes of familiar words. As long as flocks of men would have fattened on the pastures of Earth, then His people would have suffered no hunger.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-8" style="display:none"> <p><em>In November 1631 the plague had been completely eradicated, but I was not in the mood to join in the celebrations. The horrors I have witnessed have taken away a piece of my soul, which I feel contaminated and destined to Hell for the mere fact of having been a helpless witness to such wickedness. I barely consoled myself knowing Bernardi and his plethora of inhuman, perverse, thrice-damned cannibals no longer tainted Venice with their presence. But, alas, there are sorceries capable of leaving such profound wounds on this world they manifest their effects even when, seemingly, there is no trace of them left.</em></p> <p><em>Carnival 1631, Marino was returning from a tavern. Since that infamous night, he had been trying to drive away the memories by drowning them in wine and the man of lively wit I once knew had given way to a faltering ghost. He never got home, the last to see him reported he had left, drunk, with a masked woman dressed in black. Carnival 1632, it was the middle of the night when Sebastiano knocked on my door like a madman. The most fearless man I have ever known confessed to me that, after the events of the Centenaria, the mere sight of a mask filled him with terror. He said that he was losing his mind, that he could see shadows with hidden faces stalking him and staring at him from windows, that he had collapsed in tears from hearing a meow outside of his door. That was the last time I saw him.</em></p> <p><em>Some mysteries deserve oblivion, but we, greedy for knowledge, did not know it when, seven years ago, we had set out on the trail of the village. The priest had seen Bernardi as the perfect emissary to poison the world once again with the seeds of an ancient evil, and, during my night haunted by nightmares, he had shared with him unspeakable secrets. The merchant's soul had been ceded to the Devil, bartered for gold and riches, transforming him into a beast hungry for the flesh of his fellow men. And, in exchange for a thin slice of luck or power, other consciences had also been misled.</em></p> </div> <div id="wiki-tab-0-9" style="display:none"> <p><em>I spend my days knowing that I don't have much left to live and soon I will be reunited with my friends. I am now sure the curse cast by Bernardi on the gallows was more than an empty threat and the satanic pact that was made in those mountains did not end with his death. I accept my fate, I will soon deliver these pages to the College, in the hope that one day the curse will be broken, but I must hurry. Silent shadows with white still faces follow my steps even when I think I am alone and, when all is quiet, I can hear music and chants and cries carried by the waters of the lagoon. May the Lord have mercy on my soul, it's almost Carnival.</em></p> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ OZONE.dom.onDomReady(function(){ var tabView349b09494bb488c1cb2108e835ce3c3e = new YAHOO.widget.TabView('wiki-tabview-349b09494bb488c1cb2108e835ce3c3e'); }, "dummy-ondomready-block"); //]]> </script> <p>In the light of this revelations, the <a href="http://scp-int.wikidot.com/organizzazione-interna">Esoteric and Thaumaturgical Research and Development Section</a> has been commissioned to carry out in-depth studies on the anomalies related to the <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/sarkicism-hub">Sarkic Cults</a>, trusting this will lead to achieve definitive containment procedure in the reasonable future.

SCP-100-JP	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-100-JP</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Safe</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Euclid</span> Keter</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> MTF Iota-8 (“Star Watchers”), consisting of astronomers and armed tacticians, is to be stationed at Site-103 to prevent potential trespassers within a radius of 5 km around SCP-100-JP, and to observe the interiors of the location. Anyone who trespasses the 5 km radius of Site-103 without permission is to be immediately terminated, regardless of the purpose of their entry. Site-103 is to be fenced off with electric barriers with a height of at least 10 meters. Officially, Site-103 is to be treated as a uranium mining facility, with reference to the uranium vein beneath the site.</p> <p>Due to wear and tear, SCP-100-JP must undergo regular maintenance <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">once every few years</span> all the time. Maintenance operations are to be performed by 20 workers specially trained in wooden household maintenance. The workers are strictly forbidden to enter the attic.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-100-JP is a wooden two-story house with an attic, found in Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico. The original owner of the building was ███ █████. Following his death, the house was left with without proprietors.</p> <p>The first and second floor of SCP-100-JP are rooms with no anomalous qualities. However, the attic, which is accessible by a ladder located on the second floor, contains a space with an interior size far exceeding that of the building's exterior. This space exists in a completely non-gravitational and vacuum state. Investigation of the space via drones has revealed that the space extends for 127 km in either direction. Owing to the fact that wooden “walls” extend in all directions and disappear into the horizon, this space appears to be warped. Following Incident 100-2, attempts to destroy the “walls” are strictly forbidden.</p> <p>The space inside the attic in SCP-100-JP contains vast amounts of “heavenly bodies” consisting of wooden material seemingly derived from various furniture. The “planets” are about 10 cm in diameter, and “fixed stars” with light bulbs inserted are far more enormous. The source of wood, light bulbs and power supply to light the bulbs are still undetermined. Moreover, the “heavenly bodies” crumble even at a slight touch.</p> <p>Foundation astronomers have discovered that the circumstances of these “heavenly bodies” correspond with those in our universe at the present time. It has been proven that damage dealt to the “heavenly bodies” correspondingly damages the actual heavenly bodies they represent, and damage dealt to the “walls” will equally damage the "fabric of space". Because of these traits, experiments within SCP-100-JP are strictly forbidden (See also Incident 100-1, Incident 100-2).</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Incident 100-1</span><br/> In █/█/19██, when a research team led by Foundation astronomers entered SCP-100-JP to investigate the space in detail, a researcher mistakenly destroyed a “star” inside SCP-100-JP. ██ years later in █/██/20██, the star █████ near the constellation Taurus suddenly went supernova, despite its young stellar age. Immediately after this incident was observed by Foundation astronomers, SCP-100-JP, formerly thought of as an object simply mimicking heavenly bodies, was classified as a Euclid-class object. “Planets” and “stars” destroyed by minor contact during surveys of SCP-100-JP numbered more than 1█. Fortunately, all of these “heavenly bodies” destroyed were located far away from the “planet” resembling Earth, and it was estimated that the incidents would cause no harm to life on Earth.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Incident 100-2</span><br/> In █/██/200█, some parts of SCP-100-JP collapsed due to an earthquake, resulting in holes in walls of the attic and many “heavenly bodies” destroyed. This caused [DATA RESTRICTED TO PERSONNEL OF LEVEL 5 CLEARANCE BY O5-█,█,█,██]. Considering the fact that SCP-100-JP is in danger of annihilation due to wear and tear and/or natural hazards, SCP-100-JP was reclassified as a Keter-class object.</p> </div></body></html>

The Foundation Star was established in 1944 to rightfully commemorate our heroes who left great exploits regarding Foundation duties, saved countless civilians and comrades, or left accomplishments on par with such actions.</p> <p>Due to the covert nature of the Foundation, our heroes did not get the honor and respect they are righteously entitled to. To fix this situation, we, the VA Department, were established to devise various measures to compensate for this situation.</p> <p>The awardee and their immediate families receive various benefits from the VA Department, such as pensions, Foundation memorials, burials in the national cemetery of consenting countries, and many more. Refer to additional documents about further benefits and their details.</p> <p><br/></p> <p>Also, the Star Order(<span style="font-family: 'Daehan-Bold';">星章</span>) is awarded to the "Foundation Star" recipients. Two items are given: a badge and a plaque. The description below applies to both.</p> <p>The "Foundation Star" Order is a Thaumiel-Class anomaly utilization tool given the designation SCP-1000-KO, specially designed, made, and maintained by us to protect our hero and their acquaintance. The items are made on an astrologically auspicious day with meteoritic iron, platinum, and iridium. Its engraving causes a regional reality sink. This sink is not powerful, but it is enough to deter certain assaults that can harm individuals.</p> <p>The awardee must keep SCP-1000-KO around them at all times. The plaque should be kept at home, and the badge must be carried when leaving your home. You do not need to wear it. Carrying it in your bag is enough. We understand the hassle of such measures, so we would like to give you a brief explanation as to why this is required.</p> <p><br/> <br/> <br/></p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>History of SCP-1000-KO</strong></p> <p><br/></p> <p>The "Foundation Star" order has retained its shape since its establishment in 1944 but was given special purpose and function in 1999.</p> <p>In the spring of 1999, one hostile person of interest, captured by our mobile task force, died from a hemorrhage during transport. It was a suicide. The ontokinetic left a hex upon us using his blood and death. The hex affects the people seen as heroes by the Foundation. This was a blatant revenge attempt against one of our agents, who was a strong candidate to be the recipient of the Foundation Star, thanks to his arrest of the person.</p> <p>It was a minor incident, but its wave spread big. Less than a week after the PoI's death, fourteen of the then-alive fifteen "Foundation Star" recipients passed away. Foundation personnel was devastated, and morale dropped. A team was immediately organized following the Overwatch Command's order to protect the survivor and stop the hex as fast as possible.</p> <p>Fortunately, there were no problems with the survivor's health. However, the survey of the cause of death of the fallen pointed in a grim direction. Anomalous effects were confirmed, and the reality alteration was done at the level of the laws of physics. Numerous attempts have been made to stop this curse, to no avail.</p> <p><br/></p> <p>The response team started research on two subjects. One was to analyze how this hex works and develop a defense meticulously, and the other was to see the survivor's peculiarities. Surprisingly, both pieces of research pointed to the same object. A relic he got as a souvenir during the Korean War effectively blocked the activation of the hex. A sword specially made from a paranormality response institute of an ancient dynasty serving its purpose until now was a surprising discovery in every aspect.</p> <p>After months of analysis, experiments, and research, we uncovered the composition and function of the relic. The relic was a peculiar piece, mounted with a more meticulous defense mechanism than the other Sa-in swords, designed to harbor the yang and repel the unholy, following the principle of yin and yang and the five elements. The pure yang brought to the sword by making it at an astrologically significant date makes the sword a strong magic repellant. Combined with the pure yin meteoritic iron used to make the sword, the yin and yang repel each other, deploying an active denial field around it through the engraved analog circuit. Modern-day parascience calls this local reality sink, and techniques to simulate this artificially are challenging to find.</p> <p>After countless trials and efforts, we have found the qualified master and restored the recipe for the sword. Thanks to these, SCP-1000-KO has been one of the rare Thaumiel-class instances that the Foundation can constantly produce. However, it is limited by the scarce meteoritic iron and the narrow time window of 2 hours per 12 years.</p> <p>The SCP-1000-KO used in the plaque and the badge is made by forging the meteoritic iron in a round puck with an engraving, then plating it with a platinum-iridium alloy, and carved into an octagonal shape. It is a defense tool that serves its rarity right by fulfilling not only its original purpose of defending against the hex of 1999 but also denying most of the non-physical anomalous threats you may encounter at a personal level.</p> <p><br/> <br/> <br/></p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>How to use SCP-1000-KO</strong></p> <p><br/></p> <p>The effect of SCP-1000-KO used in the plaque reaches up to 500m, but the most effective radius that can ensure your safety is 200~300m. The VA Department checks for the most appropriate location to place the plaque in your household on request.</p> <p>The SCP-1000-KO used on the badge has an effective range of about 50m. For convenience, we shrank the size and attached a pin to the backside so you could wear it on your chest. When lost, we will try our best to give you a replacement, but we cannot ensure it due to the limited supply of the last batch. Moreover, losing the badge will compensate for your defense, which may lead to harm, so you are recommended to stay home when you lose your badge. So please take extra caution not to lose it.</p> <p>As mentioned above, SCP-1000-KO is an object that should always be kept around our hero. Therefore, both items are mounted with an emergency report function. For the plaque, press the button on the backside. For the badge, forcefully tear it apart from your clothes. Do not hesitate to use it when encountering an anomalous threat, hostile GoI, or general security risk. Nearby Foundation sites and government security agencies are consulted about the function in advance. A quick response team will be dispatched to the signal's location regardless of time and situation.</p> <p>The VA Department sends a team annually to ensure SCP-1000-KO's proper function. This is to check the strength of the local reality sink and the remaining time on the EVATTRY, the power source for the emergency report system. You may reschedule the maintenance within the year or postpone it to the following year, but we strongly advise you to do an annual check for your own safety. Moreover, the check can be postponed for up to six years due to supply shortages. We thank you for your understanding in advance.</p> <p>The "Foundation Star" is given regardless of our hero's death, KIA or not. However, the family can decide to return the items. In this case, a replica in the same shape is given. Please get in touch with the VA Department for a request. The returned SCP-1000-KO is removed from its ornaments and used as a tactical protection device for our MTF units.</p> <p><br/> <br/> <br/></p> <hr/> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Conclusion</strong></p> <p><br/></p> <p>We hope we have explained enough about the "Foundation Star" and the SCP-1000-KO Star Order. The Foundation star is the highest honor we can celebrate, and SCP-1000-KO is the highest respect we can pay to our hero.</p> <p><br/></p> <p>When the "Foundation Star" award was paused by the hex, there was a suggestion to abolish the distinction policy or give orders after the person's death to stop making victims of the curse. However, who would want to devote themselves beyond the veil if the Foundation does not commemorate our heroes? This is a declarative problem. Will the Foundation submit to paranormal threats and ignore honor that is righteously deserved, or will we keep our ways no matter the cost?</p> <p>We chose the obvious path. SCP-1000-KO is primarily reserved as plaques and badges for the "Foundation Star" recipient. This is the least we, the Foundation and humanity, can do to repay the lifelong dedication of our hero.</p> <p><br/></p> <p>The Foundation shows our deepest gratitude to our hero and their family and ensures you the greatest treatment, whether our hero stays in the Foundation or not.

The Maitreya Project aims to maintain the Veil as long as possible with minimal costs.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Background information about the Maitreya Project:</strong> According to the Foundation Statistics & Predictions Department's analysis, human<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> civilisation maintained without the threat of a K-Class scenario will expand out of the Foundation's control within one(1) century. Simultaneously, technological and scientific developments will exponentially increase the risk of exposure of human civilisation to anomalies, triggering the collapse of the Veil. The following cascade of events(e.g. The dismantling of traditional religions, the emergence of new anomaly-worshipping religions, a spike in suicide rates caused by the disruption of normalcy, and open use of paranormal weapons in a world-scale war) is predicted to damage humanity detrimentally. In most prediction models, the Foundation failed to deter the collapse of the Veil and either lost influence on human civilisation or was dismantled.</p> <p>To prevent such catastrophes, the Foundation Administration Department came up with various measures to preserve the status quo, in which the Foundation still holds control over human civilization. The final choice was the Maitreya Project.</p> <p>For further detail, refer to <em>Maitreya Project Summary Report(27th edition)</em>.</p> </blockquote> <p>Under the approval of the Administration Department, various paranormal technologies were involved in the Maitreya Project. The technologies directly applied to SCP-1003-KO are as follows:</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="2.jpg" class="image" src="http://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-1003-ko/2.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Prototype DHC.

On the outside, the shield looks similar to a Faraday cage. However, its mechanism differs in points such as [<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/playing-god">DATA EXPUNGED</a>]. Upon SCP-1003-KO activation, the shield is to act first to protect SCP-1003-KO from external termination signals and to prevent SCP-1003-KO from being discovered during activation. To prevent the Foundation from forgetting that SCP-1003-KO exists, SCP-1003-KO keeps this shield lifted in inactivity.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dreaming Humanity Collector(DHC):</span> Developed by reverse engineering the Pleistocene beryllium bronze stele(<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1427" target="_blank">SCP-1427</a>), the Dreaming Humanity Collector(DHC) is the core technology of the Maitreya Project, composed of the main apparatus installed on SCP-1003-KO, and 49 relay satellites. When SCP-1003-KO is activated, the main apparatus emits an anomalous electromagnetic pulse spread across the globe via the relay satellites. Humans exposed to the pulse are immediately forced into a REM-Sleep. Then, the DHC extracts humanity from the sleeping humans and stores it inside SCP-1003-KO. The human dies in the extraction but is unable to recognise their surroundings. This makes it possible for SCP-1003-KO to store humanity while the Veil is unaffected.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Super-lightspeed Technology:</span> An improved version of the prototype thruster used for Foundation space probe Khevtuul 1(<a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2669" target="_blank">SCP-2669</a>) is mounted on SCP-1003-KO. Shortly after the humanity extraction on Earth, SCP-1003-KO will activate its thruster to escape the solar system and head towards the pre-programmed destination of black hole Cygnus X-1, approximately 7,200 lightyears away. SCP-1003-KO will then semi-permanently preserve humanity, generating energy using Cygnus X-1's Hawking radiation. Ideally, SCP-1003-KO is expected to preserve the Veil for up to 10<sup>64</sup> years.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="3.jpg" class="image" src="http://scpko.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-1003-ko/3.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>Part of the internal wiring of SCP-1003-KO.

Given that SCP-101-FR is present on the global Internet and its servers (assuming it is hosted on servers) are impossible to locate, Operation "Scarlet Rose" has been initiated.</p> <p>The details of Operation "Scarlet Rose" are described below.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-101-FR is a website with digital mimicry capabilities. SCP-101-FR is considered sentient because of its capacity to react against external intrusion (computer hacking) by sending a highly infectious virus that renders the hacker's computer unusable, and then evolving its code to close the computer breach used by the hacker.</p> <p>Its only objective seems to be to reveal the Foundation's existence to the world. Hence, it should be considered possible that a Group of Interest aware of the Foundation's existence and seeking to damage it may have created SCP-101-FR.</p> <p>SCP-101-FR consists of a site accessible on the global Internet at "<a href="https://scpwiki.com/">https://scpwiki.com/</a>". This site happens to be a near-perfect replica of the Foundation's current database. No server hosting SCP-101-FR has been located; all attempts at tracing back to the servers have so far resulted in the crash of the computer performing the search or its infection by a computer virus.</p> <p>No other such site has been found. Only the Foundation appears affected.</p> <p>SCP-101-FR is capable of maintaining perfect real-time knowledge of the Foundation's database, even while it is cut off from the civilian Internet and when its servers are protected by a shielding that blocks all wave emissions of any kind. The nature of the connection between the database and SCP-101-FR is unknown; however, it has been demonstrated that:</p> <ul> <li>When a new document is entered into the database, a new article perfectly identical to that document is instantly posted on SCP-101-FR.</li> <li>When a shutdown of the Foundation's database was declared shortly after the discovery of SCP-101-FR on ████/06/22, SCP-101-FR remained online.</li> </ul> <p>SCP-101-FR seems with time to have developed into other, secondary sites, all of which are copies of the Foundation's database, based in the countries where the Foundation's branches are located: Russia (<a href="http://scpfoundation.ru/">http://scpfoundation.ru/</a>), South Korea (<a href="http://ko.scp-wiki.net/">http://ko.scp-wiki.net/</a>), China (Simplified Chinese: <a href="https://scp-wiki-cn.wikidot.com/">https://scp-wiki-cn.wikidot.com/</a> and Traditional Chinese: <a href="http://scp-zh-tr.wikidot.com/">http://scp-zh-tr.wikidot.com/</a>), France (<a href="http://fondationscp.wikidot.com/">http://fondationscp.wikidot.com/</a>), Poland (<a href="http://scp-wiki.net.pl/">http://scp-wiki.net.pl/</a>), Spain (<a href="http://scp-es.com/">http://scp-es.com/</a>), Germany (<a href="http://scp-wiki.de/">http://scp-wiki.de/</a>), Thailand (<a href="http://scp-th.wikidot.com/">http://scp-th.wikidot.com/</a>), Italy (<a href="http://fondazionescp.wikidot.com/">http://fondazionescp.wikidot.com/</a>), Japan (<a href="http://ja.scp-wiki.net/">http://ja.scp-wiki.net/</a>), Ukraine (<a href="http://scp-ukrainian.wikidot.com/">http://scp-ukrainian.wikidot.com/</a>), Portugal (<a href="http://scp-pt-br.wikidot.com/">http://scp-pt-br.wikidot.com/</a>), the Czech Republic (<a href="http://scp-cs.wikidot.com/">http://scp-cs.wikidot.com/</a>), and Vietnam (<a href="http://scp-vn.wikidot.com/">http://scp-vn.wikidot.com/</a>).

The Dental Art Department is to soothe the psychodental damage of humanity. <strong>This process is currently ongoing as of 2101.</strong></p> <p>As SCP-1017-KO gets further away from the Baseline, the number of dental anomalies will decrease accordingly. Therefore, upon completion of the stages above, the Dentistry Department and its relative departments will be disbanded. Dental anti-meme factors are utilised in the disbandment to expunge memories of the Dentistry Department, relative departments, and Site-871 from all Foundation personnel.</p> <div class="scp-image-block block-center" style="width:250px;"><img alt="_Tooth.jpg" class="image" src="http://scpkosb.wikidot.com/local--files/draft:sycop-23-5043/_Tooth.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>WE WILL GROW</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

In addition, traffic on the island where the phenomenon occurred is to be regulated, and images of SCP-102-KO-A and SCP-102-KO-B captured by artificial satellites are to be immediately located and disseminated. Access to the bridge is only permitted to D-Class personnel during experimentation.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-102-KO is a phenomenon that occurs on islands located around Oceania. The event occurs randomly in cycles of approximately 4-6 months. In the event of a phenomenon, a beach and an island (SCP-102-KO-A) based on the island's coast materialize, along with a 500-meter wooden bridge (SCP-102-KO-B), connecting the island to the original island. Access to SCP-102-KO-A is only feasible by crossing SCP-102-KO-B, but attempts to enter SCP-102-KO-A via ship or aircraft have failed, and personnel attempting to approach the island stated they were unable to pass due to the 'veil' that exists around the island. The phenomenon ends approximately 10 to 12 hours after it occurs. Historical records confirm that SCP-102-KO first occurred in 1991.</p> <hr/> <p>SCP-102-KO-B appears to be fairly old and fragile. When the phenomenon ends and recurs, the damaged sections appear restored, but the original state remains unchanged. Noteworthy is the anomalous nature of the bridge. When one crosses the bridge to the island, the desire to give form to one's desires is tempted. This compulsion, however, may be resisted, and one can leave the bridge at any time. However, once crossed all of the bridges and arrived at SCP-102-KO-A, they will not be able to return via the bridge again and will be unable to leave the island in any way. This is presumably due to the 'veil' that exists around the island. The inside of the veil can be observed from the outside.</p> <p>Upon arrival at SCP-102-KO-A, the urge will dissipate. One's desires appear to materialize inside the island, and if one desires more money, for example, a large quantity of money appears to materialize on the island. If one desires abstract concepts such as popularity, they will experience extreme hallucinations where the five senses are dominated the moment one enters the island, and the hallucinations occur in accordance with the desires. However, if they attempt to break out of this condition, they can, and hallucinations no longer manifest. SCP-102-KO-A is outfitted with seven huts, each of which is equipped with the fundamental basic living necessities. At the time of initial discovery, traces of someone living inside the cabin were discovered.</p> <p>When the phenomenon ends, the bridge and the island gradually disappear. It is not clear what happens to the persons trapped inside the island at this time, but it was confirmed that they subsequently disappeared along with the island when observed from the outside. Thereafter, when the phenomenon reoccurred, the trapped persons were not found.</p> <p>The phenomenon came to the Foundation's attention following the disappearance of 50 tourists on ███ Island in May ██, 1995, at the time of initial discovery. The remaining tourists stated that the persons crossing the bridge appeared to be 'drawn' by something and that the island and bridge had disappeared after a few hours. The tourists were all amnesticized, and the incident was presented as an unforeseen tsunami. The phenomenon has since been designated SCP-102-KO.</p> <h1 id="toc0"><span>Additional Information</span></h1> <p>In 200█, a tunnel leading underground was discovered inside the sixth hut of SCP-102-KO-A. When a search was conducted using a D-Class with corporeal desires, an old man was in a room at the end of the tunnel. He spoke English and claimed to be the island's caretaker. (Hereafter referred to as SCP-102-KO-C) Attached below is a transcript of the interview between D-25123 and SCP-102-KO-C.</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> Who are you?</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> The man in charge of this island.</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> Umm.. do you happen to know anything about the huts on this island?</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> That's where you live. A place for you to live.</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> But I don't think there were people there..</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> I suppose so, but it will be your residence from now on.</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> What do you mean?</p> <p>(<em>SCP-102-KO-C pauses</em>)</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> What happened to the people who vanished from the island?</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> A dream came true. Properly.</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> So what exactly happened?</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> They're still on this island for now. They all achieved what they wanted. And I see them.</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> So why can't we see them?</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> You'll find out soon, my friend. Now that you've achieved your dream.</p> <p><strong>D-25123:</strong> Yes? No.. I really need to know.. That- uh.. this.. this..</p> <p><strong>SCP-102-KO-C:</strong> Welcome.</p> </blockquote> <p>Following this interview, D-25123 followed SCP-102-KO-C down a back corridor, and communication was lost. Thereafter, when the phenomenon ceased and reoccurred, the hut in the tunnel disappeared, and a note was left in its place.</p> <blockquote> <p>They found a purpose.</p> </blockquote> </div></body></html>
SCP-1040-RU	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-1040-RU</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <a href="/object-classes">Safe</a></p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-1040 is to be stored in the arsenal of Sector ██, in a separate gun cabinet. The cabinet must be guarded by two armed security officers at all times. Access to the facility is allowed only with the written permission of Dr. Theomant and under constant supervision of at least one employee of Level 4 clearance.</p> <p>SCP-1040 should be loaded with blank cartridges only, as firing it with live cartridges will damage the integral muzzle.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-1040 is a modified Dragunov sniper rifle. Changes made to the original design are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>The muzzle consists of glass, ceramics, and metal; its principle of operation is unknown, and it is not removable.</li> <li>The scope has been replaced with one of unknown origin and model; all objects seen through this scope are visible, coloured in blue; however, objects that have been "hit" by SCP-1040 are coloured in red.</li> <li>The manufacturer's information has been replaced by the words "Made by Lefty".</li> </ul> <p>According to the instructions found alongside the object, SCP-1040 "spoils" or "damages" anyone who is shot with a blank cartridge. After firing while using the scope, the user can observe a red dot moving at great speeds towards the target. When said dot collides with a creature or object, its colour changes to red inside the scope. Without a scope, there are no observable effects.</p> <p>Any living creature affected by SCP-1040 dies within 24 hours, usually as a result of an accident, but sometimes, under certain circumstances, from a heart attack or stroke. Any inanimate object, including the terrain surrounding the place of the spot's collision with the subject, will become "ill-fated" for about 48 hours. Unpleasant accidents occur regularly in their proximity, such as the loss of small objects etc. As time passes, this effect gradually decreases in severity.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 1:</strong> These are the user instructions found during the recovery of the object:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Almost everyone knows someone that they want to kill. Don't you?</em><br/> <em>Well, why wouldn't you? Uh… You don't want to go to jail…</em><br/> <em>Well, what if everything looks like it happened with no relation to you?</em><br/> <em>Load this thing with a blank cartridge, aim and pull the trigger and, well, everything will happen by itself.</em><br/> <em>With love, Lefty.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Addendum 2:</strong> The object was seized from the contract-killer [DATA EXPUNGED]. Initially, it went into the possession of local law enforcement agencies, before Foundation employees discovered it. The object was subsequently extracted under the cover of a fire at the warehouse where it was stored.</p> <p><strong>Addendum 3:</strong> Excerpts from experiments with SCP-1040:</p> <p>… subject was released in the city centre… Cause of death: fell into manhole…<br/> … released in the city centre… Cause of death: falling bricks…<br/> … released in the city centre… Cause of death: hit by car…<br/> … placed in a protected cell… Cause of death: ceiling collapse…<br/> … placed in a protected cell… Cause of death: stroke…<br/> … taken outside city… Cause of death: bite from venomous snake…<br/> … placed in the cold weapons deposit… [DATA EXPUNGED]<br/> <strong>Comment:</strong> <em>Someone will answer for this!</em> - Dr. Theomant<br/> … impact on door threshold… Results: 5 stumbled, 2 blows on the door jamb, 1 crushed finger, 1 broken phone…<br/> … effects on service pistol… 2 spontaneous shots, 3 misfires…<br/> … impact on the vending machine… did not dispense the demanded goods for… roubles, issued the wrong goods 3 times, worked 4 times without returning change…</p> </div></body></html>

Password is [REDACTED]. Usage of the object, as well as removal from containment, is prohibited unless used for experimentation.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-106-KO is a hanging scroll 198 x 60 centimeters in size. At the time of discovery, it was accompanied by a painting measuring 130 x 45 centimeters in size, but no anomalous properties were present in the painting. The production date of the hanging scroll is estimated to be in the 1500s, but the painting dates from the 18th century, so it is believed that it was attached to the hanging scroll in later times. The Foundation has currently removed the painting and only retained the hanging scroll.</p> <p>The anomalous properties of SCP-106-KO occur when a two-dimensional image medium (painting, photo, etc.) is attached to the hanging scroll. At this time, the size of the medium to be attached must exceed 120 cm in length and 30 cm in width. By attaching a picture or a photo onto the hanging scroll, a person will be able to "enter" it. The person in the image will be displayed as a figure appropriate for the style of the image. To date, there has been no success in retrieving personnel who entered the painting. An attempt was made to enter by tying a rope, but the rope was severed by something unseen after the subject was fully inside the painting.</p> <p>On ██/██/19██, an experiment was conducted with the use of photographs. At this time, a panorama of the exterior of Site-[REDACTED] was taken and a D-Class personnel was sent in. Shortly thereafter, the D-Class personnel appeared outside of Site-[REDACTED], and a chase ensued to apprehend the personnel. At the end of the chase, the D-Class personnel was shot dead, and eyewitnesses were amnesticized. Since then, it has been hypothesized that this ability of the hanging scroll does not put people inside the medium, but rather transports the person to the location displayed by the medium.</p> <p>A proposal to attach a map to the hanging scroll was rejected due to significant uncertainty in the experimental results.</p> <p>SCP-106-KO was discovered in 19██ in a second-hand bookstore in Gwanak-gu, Seoul. The owner of the second-hand bookstore stated he had purchased it for 1,000 won from an elderly man who lived in Gaeseong, North Korea, and was unaware of the anomalous properties.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Experiment Log</p> <p>On ██/██/19██, after attaching a landscape painting depicting an imaginary space onto the hanging scroll, a D-Class personnel holding a radio communication device was placed in the painting. After the D-Class personnel entered the painting, the D-Class personnel radioed in. An attempt was made to communicate with the site, but due to poor communication conditions, communication was soon lost.</p> <p>On ██/██/19██, after photographing Test Room A and attaching it to the hanging scroll, D-Class personnel were placed in the photograph in Test Room B, the adjacent room. At this time, they were instructed to hold the weights on both ends of the hanging scroll at the moment they entered the photograph. The hanging scroll then entered the frame alongside the D-Class personnel and appeared in Test Room A with the D-Class personnel. As a result of the experimentation, the lining and exterior of the hanging scroll were turned upside down.</p> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-106-ko">SCP-106-KO</a>" by Subervos, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

Anyone can become an unfortunate victim: doctors, postmen, or clerks—they can all get addicted. Anyone who has ever used rhythm or rhyme, all who trusted a pen with a piece of their mind, even those who forgot of their fondness for poems—none of them are immune; hence are all our worries.</p> <p>A continuous search for the possible traces is conducted in various digital spaces. Each suspicious verse prompts a rapid response: MTFs with amnestics and a bag for the corpse.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> Object ten-ninety-two is a powerful word that takes root in one’s mind and in one’s line of thought. Time and time and again it comes up in their lines, but it’s visible only to uninfluenced eyes.<br/> Once exposed to the word, it will alter the pattern of expression in text: it gets broken and scattered, it’s distorted and filled with unneeded additions, its ideas now changed into rhyming renditions. Since that moment the victim, unaware of the change, will be writing in verse, their words rearranged, to embellish the object and conceal the threat. It cannot be Contained; we are left to Protect.</p> <p>Every following verse is more powerful, moving; it’s inflaming the listeners, always improving, and it spreads like a virus, it touches the souls. It enchants, it transforms, it infects and it grows. This incredible gift is a curse wrapped as blessing; its effects are untouched by the best of amnestics. For this talent there is but one way to unteach: burn the author along with their passionate speech.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Our agents and staff have to be highly cautious, as containment requires most radical options. But despite our efforts and strict protocols, the disease worms its way into our reports.</p> <p>If a member of staff, stiff and callous inside, who does things by the book, never follows desires, cold and dry like a lawyer and a stranger to passion, in a word: a true member of our great Foundation… If they notice a page full of sensuous rhymes, but their heart remains still and their eyes remain dry, this event must be promptly reported above, so [REDACTED] and agents can remove the involved.</p> <p><strong>Attachment:</strong><br/> <a href="/document-1092-ru-1">Document 1092-RU-1</a></p> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-1092-ru">SCP-1092-RU</a>" by Wiiskey, translated by jekyllgrim, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

If non-Foundation individuals attempt to use SCP-1100-KO, it is strongly recommended to dissuade such behaviour while providing sufficient reasons. However, information that can compromise the integrity of the veil policy, such as the Containment Procedures for SCP-1100-KO, or the possible threat caused by the item, must not be mentioned. The same rule applies to non-Foundation organisations that try to utilise SCP-1100-KO, and personnel must provide sufficient reasoning, excluding confidential information, which includes this document.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-1100-KO is known as the Infinite Monkey Theorem to the public. The theorem is not anomalous by itself, and this document does not differ from any publicly available description. However, due to the potential threat that unrestricted, public usage of SCP-1100-KO may cause, the containment procedures mentioned above were established.</p> <p><a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1100-ko/offset/1">Additional information limited for current security clearance.</a></p> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
SCP-1138	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-1138</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-1138 should be stored inside a safe in Dr. █████'s office in Sector-██. Personnel with Level 2 clearance or higher may access the object for research purposes with Dr. █████'s authorization. Personnel with strong philosophical convictions are to be denied access. Personnel should not dispute the object nor question the correctness of the information contained within.</p> <p>Once monthly, a researcher studying philosophical concepts (either by duty of service or for personal education) should compose an article containing at least █ references to the object. At least ██ other personnel should familiarize themselves with this article; it must be archived afterward.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-1138 is perceived to be a book of philosophers' and/or writers' correspondence. Though the writing style always corresponds to a given author, the vast majority of letters are forgeries, with a few found to be genuine unsent drafts. The book's author changes based on the scientific and personal interests of the reader and its contents depend on reader's beliefs regarding the author's ideas. SCP-1138 always contains information that contradicts the reader's current beliefs (see addendum). In other words, the reader, thinking that a philosopher adhered to a specific opinion will find letters expressing ideas that directly contradict his, her, or its beliefs, written out passionately and in great detail. If the reader has no concerns for philosophical concepts, SCP-1138 will contain letters from people the reader respects (up to his or her parents), criticizing his, her, or its life position.</p> <p>Handling and reading the books has various effects. Readers who completely share the presumed author's views fall into a prolonged depression that they compare to being betrayed by a close friend. More open-minded individuals rejoice at first, sometimes lapsing into euphoria and stating that they "finally found the truth" before becoming absent-minded and unable to concentrate. This condition lasts for about a week. Professional researchers who have definite proof of the falsity of SCP-1138's information experience a strong desire to start a discussion. Should they start it, [DATA EXPUNGED] followed in 24 hours by an invariably lethal stroke. The theorized cause of this [DATA EXPUNGED].</p> <p>Currently, there is no way of finding SCP-1138's "neutral" form. In the presence of humans and/or animals the book retains its previous appearance. Handling SCP-1138 with a remote-controlled robot led to the book transforming to a tome of Isaac Asimov's letters in which he gave proof that the Three Laws of Robotics should not be used in robot creation. First, adherence to the laws will lead to those laws being broken, hence they are useless. Second, robots are more perfect than humans and should not be restrained in their actions regarding humans. The attempt was stopped; the robot and the remote controller used in the experiment were examined. Examination showed [DATA EXPUNGED].</p> <p>If there is no scientific article written about SCP-1138 in a month, the object disappears and reappears in the closest library or book store that can theoretically contain publications of letters. Therefore, if the book breaks containment, researchers assigned to SCP-1138 should monitor the news and investigate each and every "sensational breakthrough" in philosophy and history.</p> <p><strong>History:</strong> SCP-1138 attracted the Foundation's attention in 19██ when █████ ███████, the leader of the Communist Party of Hungary, released a harsh criticism of V.I. Lenin, claiming that he had found a collection of letters in which Lenin defined Marxism as a fallacious and harmful theory and proposed cooperation with the Capitalist West. Everybody who spoke against his criticism died in 24 hours, making the situation especially suspicious. █████ ████████'s house was searched; the only anomalous item found was a book that changed its appearance and contents when passed from one person to another.</p> <p>Later, it was found that the object disappears if there isn't an article that references it written in a month. Employees responsible for SCP-1138 got lucky, as the book always reappeared in Sector ██ library and was easily found. There are no known cases of the book's appearance before it attracted the Foundation's attention.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Some of the most interesting instances of SCP-1138 are listed here:</p> <ul> <li>Marcus Tullius Cicero's letters in which he claims that every conflict should be resolved through brute force; the search for compromise based on laws and morality was deemed unnecessary. "Cedant arma togae" was claimed to be "a stupid joke."</li> <li>Niccolò Machiavelli's letters that explain negative economical, political and cultural consequences, should the medieval Italy become a united state. He also claims that a ruler should act within the law and ethics and never break these rules. Note that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Prince</span> (the book which inspired the term "Machiavellianism") is generally thought to have been political satire by scholars.</li> <li>Blaise Pascal's letters, describing Christianity as "a faith most vile, false and abhorrent to human dignity."</li> <li>Friedrich Nietzsche's letters, claiming that Christianity and Buddhism are the reason for all humanity's achievements. He also harshly denounces some people's aspiration to "be themselves" and not belong to the social mass.</li> <li>Fyodor Dostoyevsky's letters in which he claims that a decent and happy life can only be achieved through denial of the existence of souls and a lack of compassion and beneficence.</li> <li>O5-█'s letters, in which he requests that all humanoid SCPs within Foundation custody either be released or terminated. In addition, he claims to have [DATA EXPUNGED]</li> </ul> <p><strong>Dr. █████'s preliminary conclusion:</strong> Currently, we cannot determine if the object is sapient. Maybe it is sapient and creates information that contradicts our beliefs in order to provoke us to argue and become its victims. If that's the case, killing is a way of sustaining its life and the object's behavior is the way it hunts. Maybe the object is not sapient and simply re-translates thoughts from another reality in which philosophers and thinkers came to different ideas. Further study is necessary.</p> </div></body></html>

Assigned personnel are to monitor SCP-1139-JP manifestations. Upon confirmation of SCP-1139-JP manifestation, deletion and amnesticization of related individuals are to be carried out, and the cover story of "artistic work using SCP-1139-JP-α" is to be used.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-1139-JP is an anomalous phenomenon affecting video and audio data uploaded to the internet. Video and audio data containing recordings of the human voice will have the qualities of the recorded voice change to that of an entirely different person. (The affected data is termed the "subject".) This phenomenon affects recordings of singing; however, the criteria for data to be affected are currently unknown.</p> <p>Humans (hereafter referred to as "listeners") who listen to the recordings perceive them as "songs sung by ███████ ████". <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">However, there is no person with the name ███████ ████.</span> As there is no information relating to ███████ ████ in textual descriptions associated with the subject, there is a possibility that this is some form of infohazard.</p> <p>Upon analyzing the audio data from the subjects, it has been determined that the altered voice belongs to a single person (SCP-1139-JP-A), and that ███████ ████ likely refers to SCP-1139-JP-A. Analysis of the voice suggests that SCP-1139-JP-A has the following traits:</p> <ul> <li>Human of Asian descent</li> <li>Female</li> <li>Mid to late teens</li> <li>Height of approximately 160cm</li> <li>BMI of approximately 17</li> <li>Certain degree of skill in singing</li> </ul> <p>It has been reported that listening to the subjects elicits a mildly positive emotional response.</p> <p>The first confirmed occurrence of SCP-1139-JP occurred on 2006/██/██, on a video of singing uploaded to █████████ (a video sharing site), Following this, sporadic occurrences of SCP-1139-JP continued. Initial containment consisted of deletion of the subjects and the use of the cover story "pitch changes due to corruption of audio data"; however, as the prevalence of SCP-1139-JP gradually increased, Project 1139-JP was created with the help of the Audio Research Team of the Foundation's Japanese branch, consisting of the development of a specialized vocal synthesis software and the use of a new cover story involving it.</p> <hr/> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#f0f8ff; padding:5px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Project 1139-JP</strong></p> <hr/> <p><strong>Summary:</strong> Project 1139-JP is composed of the following steps:</p> <ol> <li>Development of a new version of existing vocal synthesis software.</li> <li>Selection and voice recording of a person with voice similar to SCP-1139-A.</li> <li>Apply effects to the voice data such that it resembles that of an SCP-1139-JP subject as closely as possible.</li> <li>Release the created software (designated SCP-1139-JP-α) to the public.</li> <li>Upon further occurrence of SCP-1139-JP, the cover story "work using SCP-1139-JP-α" can be used and any associated individuals can be amnesticized.</li> </ol> <p>If changes in the properties of SCP-1139-JP occurrences are observed, Project 1139-JP is to be updated and amended accordingly.</p> </div> <hr/> <hr/> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%88%E3%83%B3%E7%A4%BE.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-int.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-1139-jp/%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%83%97%E3%83%88%E3%83%B3%E7%A4%BE.jpg" style="width:300px;"/> <div class="scp-image-caption" style="width:300px;"> <p>The building housing the offices of ███████ ██████ █████, a company involved in the creation of SCP-1139-JP-α.</p> </div> </div> <p>Over the course of one year, the Foundation worked with ██████ and ███████ ██████ █████, companies developing related software to develop a new version of the software and select a voice actor with similar vocal qualities to that of SCP-1139-JP-A. This was considered an acceptable time frame for the creation of SCP-1139-JP-α.</p> <p>Although SCP-1139-JP-α was unable to consistently produce ideal results, the rate of occurrence of SCP-1139-JP had been observed to be increasing slowly but quadratically. However, as it was determined that SCP-1139-JP-α was able to produce ideal results when used correctly, SCP-1139-JP-α was released in its imperfect state, with updated versions to be produced later.</p> <p>After adjustments were conducted through a front company, SCP-1139-JP-α was released as a commercial product of ███████ ██████ █████. Following this, sales of SCP-1139-JP-α far exceeded original expectations, and Project 1139-JP proceeded at an accelerated pace. Due to its unexpected popularity, the Foundation's Distribution Department is currently conducting research into possible related anomalies. It has been suggested that SCP-1139-JP's anomalous nature may be responsible for SCP-1139-JP-α's unprecedented increase in popularity; however, as SCP-1139-JP-α and related work constitutes a major source of income for Foundation front companies, attempts to prevent continued work on SCP-1139-JP-α are prohibited.</p> <p>Due to the nickname given by users to the SCP-1139-JP-α image character "███████ ████"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, henceforth referred to as SCP-1139-JP-α-1, Project 1139-JP was given the codename "Utahime"<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. Due to the remarkable spread of SCP-1139-JP-α, Project "Utahime" has been determined to be satisfactorily completed. However, as the possibility of an information breach of SCP-1139-JP due to a decline in the use of SCP-1139-JP-α cannot be ruled out, new versions of SCP-1139-JP-α are continuously being developed.</p> <p>On 20██/██/██, during investigation into the research facilities used by Tokiwa ████████ (PoI-831) to produce and distribute anomalous computer programs, several points of information thought to relate to SCP-1139-JP were discovered, including a diary belonging to an unknown individual. On the last page of the diary, an L-size photograph was discovered, depicting a young female (henceforth SCP-1139-JP-A-1) on an intravenous drip lying in what is thought to be a hospital bed; because of this, SCP-1139-JP-A-1 is thought to be the author of the diary. Based on an analysis of the skeletal structure of the person in the photo, there is a 78.2% chance that SCP-1139-JP-A-1 is the same person as SCP-1139-JP-A. In addition, based on the information in the diary, SCP-1139-JP-A-1 had used the name ███████ ████ in events prior to her passing.</p> <p>The following attached document, Document 1139-JP-82439, consists of extracts from this diary.

After all, it's embarrassing when you go off tune, isn't it? Though those little mistakes might lead you to think "hey, this arrangement might be better", and those discoveries have led me to make better songs myself… Isn't it nice that the choices made by your own body can become important elements of your songs?</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/07/21</strong></span><br/> The world looks and feels so different from a hospital room… it feels so boring and tasteless.<br/> There's nothing at all, there's no grass or trees… though saying that might be a bit too far. It's like I'm relying on a well that hasn't dried up yet… but what is that well? My lifespan?</p> <p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p> <p>But then again, nothing's really changed except my mindset, right? Then I've got to cheer up and make myself feel better! I've only got to stay here until my illness is cured and I go back to normal. So it's only a temporary goodbye to the outside world until then. Quite simple, really.</p> <p>I thought of another song today… I've got to hurry up and write it. I don't want to end up thinking "oh, I wish I'd finished this in the hospital". Even under these circumstances, being able to come up with a feel-good prayer song… I'm so proud of myself.</p> <p>This song is great! After I get out of here, I'm gonna be so busy!</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/07/31</strong></span><br/> With this mind and body, I feel like the version of myself I've formed from my memories and experiences over the years is being worn away in favor of a self I like from my very spirit. Though what that self is, I don't know. I've heard that when you hold your lover's hand or kiss someone you hold dear, you feel a little younger… is that what this is?</p> <p>The kind of love that makes you want to stay by your sweetheart's side, so you know the new, true version of them?<br/> If you're able to love from the soul, even deeper than the bottom of your heart, no matter what happens you'll always be able to stay with the one you love. If you want to see the future together with your sweetheart, you won't even need to put it in words.<br/> Just by thinking about it, it's a type of magic that always makes you smile.</p> <p>Can't I have some of it too?</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/08/15</strong></span><br/> Just looking out the window or at my laptop, I feel like I'm being hit with all the wrong things. Like I don't belong in this world. Though, listening to a fast-paced off vocal through my earphones, I sang with a feeling almost as if I was running. When I'm singing, everything around me seems to fade away and I feel like I'm blending into the air, like I'm wearing a hood made of sound.</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/08/30</strong></span><br/> Lately every day has been just bad things. I ask another version of myself if there's anything good in this world, but I don't know if it should be something I ask myself or someone else.<br/> It's nice to dream nice things… The world in my dreams is so different from this boring hospital room. I'm kind of jealous of my dream self, since she sings so much better than I do.<br/> It's almost as if my mind has been splitting into two, and it feels kind of worrying, but funny at the same time.</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/10/14</strong></span><br/> What was the first song I sang? My first sound… Though I used to slur my words when I sing, I've gotten better lately. Even without saying a word, or even without being able to understand it, songs can convey one's feelings. How amazing…<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> As the days turn into years, my heart may grow weary, but if I put my feelings into song, they'll always come back.</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/11/22</strong></span><br/> Today [SCP-1139-JP-A-1's close friend] sent me a drawing!

Though it may just be a detail, these little things changed my mood too. Grabbing onto these feelings, I started to hum a phrase that seemed to convey my feelings. If you put the words in your heart on it, you'll surely be able to show the full picture of your feelings. Well, it's easy to say, but…</p> <p>Songs can connect these disconnected emotions into a coherent composition better than people's words can. From points to lines, and lines into circles, they take shape.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> At that time, without considering anything, thinking everything would always remain the same, I just sang. Even though I do nothing but sleep now, I wonder who brings the sunrise every day. I wasn't able to imagine something like that, so I just think there's got to be a future that's just like my songs.</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/01/31</strong></span><br/> Tonight it snowed beautifully outside the window. In just an hour, the whole view outside my window strangely turned pure white, like it had been filled with whipped cream, or like a brilliant diamond? It'd be really nice if I were to fall in love on a pure white stage out in that snowy landscape… Is it possible to meet someone so conveniently at a ski resort? No? It really seems like there's no god of romance, huh?<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> Whenever winter arrives, I always feel a lot more mature. Surely I'll win against my weak body and build up more practice, make more memories, and start to sing about love, too.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> The results of the checkup weren't good. They said they might have to do surgery on me, but… My breath turned the window white. Surely I'll live and get better.</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/04/08</strong></span><br/> I… I can't sing. My throat doesn't produce any sound. Why?<br/> Strange sounds… It's almost like the machine that I use to produce sound has broken. I didn't know not being able to sing as you wish could be such a cruel fate. I feel as if I'm being erased, down to my heart and soul.</p> <p>The second I try to sing, i run out of breath and my body hurts. It's like my lifespan is being shaved away…<br/> One day I'll be back to my normal self, and I'll be able to get people to listen to my songs. I've always thought about it. If I believe in these convenient delusions, I wonder if they'll become reality. Even if I pray for a miracle, I know there's no point, so I'll just have to catch up alone.<br/> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br/> I stil</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/04/22</strong></span><br/> I'm broken with sorrow, it's killing me. No matter what I say, it's not resounding with the starry sky outside the window.<br/> The sadness is overflowing, I want to cry. The hand I hold alone is strikingly cold.<br/> Haha, I suppose I'm a bit of a poet myself!</p> </div> <div class="page"> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>20██/08/22</strong></span><br/> It's all gone downhill. Having an unrequited love for your own life, it sounds kind of poetic, doesn't it? If I could throw away this body, perhaps I could feel a little lighter. It's like ripping off a thread. I think it'd be nice if I could, but surely it'll hurt a little.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p>The following is an interview conducted with Tokiwa ████████.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Interview Log 1139-JP-a - 20██/██/██</strong></span></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Interviewee:</strong> Tokiwa ████████</p> <p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> Researcher Fuyukane</p> <p><strong><Begin Recording></strong></p> <p>[Questioning regarding other matters omitted.]</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> In that case, this next one is from me. Pleased to meet you, I'm Fuyukane.</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> And likewise.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> Now I'd like to ask you about SCP-1139-JP. [Researcher Fuyukane produces material relating to SCP-1139-JP.]</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> SCP-1139-JP… So that's what you call it.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> You called it "Successful Case 4", is that correct? Were you the one who created it?</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> Well, not really "created", but yes, it was me. I simply helped her.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> By "her", do you mean SCP-1139-JP-1-A?</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> Yes, Ms. Shunchou. Please refer to her as such. She loved singing, and had a dream of making a career of it. However, because of her illness, she spent almost every day in the hospital, unable to leave.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> May I confirm that Ms. Shunchou has already passed away?</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> Yes. It's a shame, but she passed away at the young age of 16. She was a brilliant singer, and she loved singing more than anyone else in this world. No matter what, I wanted to grant her wishes, even in death.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> We need to investigate and contain SCP-1139-JP, and your cooperation is essential. If you do not help us, we may need to take actions against you that could be regarded as legally and ethically unacceptable.</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> I don't mind, but I don't think I will be of much use to you.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> Why is that?</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> Of course, I was heavily involved with her, and with the anomalous phenomenon the two of you speak of. However, even the one who started it doesn't know how to stop it.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> So, you're saying there is no way to contain SCP-1139-JP?</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> Yes, but in the end, her dream was realized… thanks to you.</p> <p><strong>Fuyukane:</strong> What do you mean?</p> <p><strong>Tokiwa:</strong> You should already know. In any case, she's already left this world. She's not something I can reach any more.</p> <p><strong><End Recording></strong></p> </blockquote> <p>Following the interview, it was confirmed that a female by the name of Shunchou had indeed passed away on 20██/██/██. Following the conclusion of investigations, Tokiwa was hired by the Foundation and is currently working with the Audio Research Team.</p> <p>On 20██/██/██, an audio file with no author or date of creation metadata was discovered on Researcher Tokiwa's device. It was determined that the file was created using SCP-1139-JP-α. While Researcher Tokiwa was suspected to have been involved, no evidence of this was found.

Surveillance cameras installed around SCP-116-KO are to monitor for any approaching persons. Security personnel are to be on standby at the residence immediately to the right of SCP-116-KO. Connecting SCP-116-KO-A to the Internet is prohibited for security reasons, and all electronic devices that can connect to the object are subject to security screening prior to testing. Any use of SCP-116-KO for purposes other than testing is to be referred to the appropriate Anomalous Object Officer. During experimentation, personnel other than D-Class personnel are to remain outside SCP-116-KO. SCP-116-KO-A is to be operated remotely.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-116-KO is a two-story wooden house located in Kentucky, United States, and its anomalous properties apply to 13 rooms<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>, including a living room and bedroom. SCP-116-KO's Multipurpose Room-1 is equipped with a desktop computer (SCP-116-KO-A) sold by ████, which is identical in appearance to a commercial computer running the Windows 10 operating system. There is an HDD storage device titled 'H-drive' in the computer, and all folders and files including the desktop exist within this drive.</p> <p>On SCP-116-KO-A's desktop, there are thirteen folders with the names of all the rooms and other locations in SCP-116-KO, and in each folder, there are files named for all the objects and persons located within the location named for that folder. That is, if any object or person enters or leaves SCP-116-KO's room, the files in SCP-116-KO-A's folder will be rearranged accordingly. The size of all files on SCP-116-KO-A's desktop is proportional to the volume that the object has within SCP-116-KO. Likewise, the maximum capacity of each folder is proportional to its room size.</p> <p>SCP-116-KO-A can be connected to external storage, allowing various programs to be installed and files to be moved. Editing or executing individual files by programs installed in SCP-116-KO-A, or changing the settings of the computer itself, can affect physical objects and personnel within SCP-116-KO. For example, permanently deleting the 'vessel' file in the 'living room' folder of SCP-116-KO-A will cause the actual vessel in SCP-116-KO's 'living room' to demanifest. However, deletion of existing folders on the desktop or creation of new folders will result in the forced termination of SCP-116-KO-A.</p> <p>SCP-116-KO was originally a civilian-owned building built in 1998, but was abandoned due to its owner's bankruptcy. Since then, personnel from GOI-004C<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> have purchased the building online and installed SCP-116-KO-A through civilian installers, performing anomalous modifications. GOI-004C personnel then remotely controlled SCP-116-KO, causing anomalous phenomena. The surrounding residents reported various strange phenomena occurring within the building to the police, and the Foundation immediately obtained relevant information before occupying the building. At that time, SCP-116-KO was empty without any personnel, and as soon as it was revealed that GOI-004C operated SCP-116-KO-A online, the Internet was immediately blocked. Several documents found internally suggest that SCP-116-KO is a prototype of a large-scale project of GOI-004C, which is intended to give and further expand the anomalous application within SCP-116-KO to other regions.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong> SCP-116-KO Test Log</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Test Author:</strong> Dr. ██</p> <p><strong>Test Subject:</strong> 'Sofa.dat' file in 'Living Room' folder</p> <p><strong>Test Details:</strong> Moved the 'Sofa.dat' file from the 'Living Room' folder to 'Multipurpose Room-2'.</p> <p><strong>Test Results:</strong> Sofa in SCP-116-KO's living room was moved to Multipurpose Room-2.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>Test Author:</strong> Dr. ██</p> <p><strong>Test Subject:</strong> 'D-1240.dat' file, personnel D-1240</p> <p><strong>Test Details:</strong> Copy the 'D-1240.dat' file and paste it into the same folder.</p> <p><strong>Test Results:</strong> A 'D-1240-1.dat' file was created, with personnel identical to D-1240 manifested in SCP-116-KO's living room.

SCP-1238-RU	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-1238-RU</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> <a href="/object-classes">Euclid</a></p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-1238-1 and SCP-1238-2 are contained within a standard C-2 containment cell equipped with emergency water draining pumps since Incident 12-9887. The substance referred to as SCP-1238-3 has been allowed to stay in SCP-1238-2’s possession after a multitude of tests confirmed it to be identical to “Turkish delight” and harmless to the subjects or Site personnel.</p> <p>SCP-1238-2 has been reprimanded for hiding information about SCP-1238-3 after Incident 12-9887; however, due to SCP-1238-3 having been irretrievably lost according to the subjects, it has been decided to limit the punishment to disciplinary action and denial of access to sweets.</p> <p>The subjects are also allowed to keep their clothing and personal belongings – a ball of gum, 6.37 cm in diameter, for SCP-1238-1, and a photo of Marilyn Monroe for SCP-1238-2.</p> <p>These objects appear to be of extreme importance to the subjects, as they become highly unnerved in their absence. Cases of crying, hysteria (usually from SCP-1238-2), threats, and begging have been observed.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-1238 is a complex object consisting of two subjects designated as SCP-1238-1 and SCP-1238-2 as well as – up until recently – approximately 12.2 grams of an unknown substance that held a designation of SCP-1238-3 up until Incident 12-9887.</p> <p>SCP-1238-1 – male, of European descent, height of 172 cm, weighing 75 kg. Has fair short hair and grey eyes. Calm temper, responds well to contact. High intelligence quantifier. Dressed in rubber overalls with a cut on the belly. No documents have been found on hand.</p> <p>SCP-1238-2 – male, of European descent, height of 182 cm, weighing 65 kg. Has blonde hair, 1.35 m in length, dark eyes. Choleric and hyperactive temper, responds well to contact. Medium intelligence quantifier. Dressed in a black leather jacket and yellow underpants. No documents have been found on hand.</p> <p><strong>Annotation-1:</strong> Subjects are in a friendly relationship; as such, methods of questioning through confrontation have been found inefficient.</p> <p>SCP-1238-3 – approximately 12.2 grams of an unknown substance found in SCP-1238-2’s possession. Colour, smell, and texture are fully identical to a type of “Turkish delight” sweet produced by the “Red October” confectionery factory. The subjects refer to SCP-1238-3 as ‘twist’; due to Incident 12-9887, SCP-1238-3 has been deemed neutralized, and interrogations aiming to obtain all information related to the substance have been scheduled.</p> <p><strong>Annotation-2:</strong> SCP-1238-1 claims to have had no knowledge about SCP-1238-2’s possession of the substance prior to Incident 12-9887. It is as of yet unknown whether this will cause their relationship to decline.</p> <p>Subjects willingly come into contact but use a multitude of slang terms and connotations not previously documented. The word ‘twist’ and its derivatives have proven to be some of the most commonly used in their dictionary. In addition, their Russian pronunciation is imperfect and bears presence of an accent marked with transliteration in italics in the minutes.</p> <p><strong>Minutes of the interview with SCP-1238 that led to Incident 12-9887 (led by doctor D., translated into English):</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>D:</strong> (to SCP-1238-1): Please state your name.</p> <p><strong>SCP-1238-2:</strong> Name’s Tease, he’s Tease!

But – <em>pri tebbe</em><sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-27" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-27')">27</a></sup> must always be an <em>out</em> – something that reminds you of reality.

You don’t twist <em>out</em> twice.</p> <p><em>Kipelich drags a faded photo of Marilyn Monroe out of a pocket.

Because he is Monroe. Your Monroe, at the very least. Ours twisted in 2010.</p> <p><strong>D:</strong> I do not understand.</p> <p><strong>Ctesiphon:</strong> (patiently) It’s simple. We fell into a trap, and Kip twisted into his <em>out</em> out of fear. His <em>out</em> is Monroe. He twisted into Monroe. That’s how this all spawned. (waves about the containment cell) Literally everything. This whole <strong>TWIST.</strong></p> <p><strong>D:</strong> So that means…</p> <p><strong>Ctesiphon:</strong> Yep, you were all birthed by Kip.

SCP-125-DE	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <div class="scp-image-block block-right" style="width:300px;"><img alt="cave-1476553857PDg.jpg" class="image" src="http://scp-wiki-de.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-125-de/cave-1476553857PDg.jpg"/> <div class="scp-image-caption"> <p>The interior of SCP-125-DE-A.</p> </div> </div> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-125-DE</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Keter</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> SCP-125-DE is not to be informed about its containment. To ensure its continued cooperation with Foundation personnel in the future, it is also lead to believe that the customs and moral concepts in Europe are still those of the 12th Century. Additionally, the entity is not to be coerced into raising and/or leaving SCP-125-DE-A. Should this occur regardless, it is to be lured into the area of effect of a Scranton Reality Anchor immediately to reestablish containment.</p> <p>Due to the immobility of SCP-125-DE and SCP-125-DE-A, Outpost-DE22/125 has been constructed in front of the entrance of SCP-125-DE-A. Outpost-DE22/125 is to always be staffed with at least 50 guards and to be equipped with gas and explosive weapons to defend against attacks on the site. Outpost-DE22/125 is to be contacted by other Foundation Sites using radio communication every 30 minutes and is to be asked for its status. Should no answer be received from Outpost-DE34/125, an MTF unit is to be send to check on the situation and- in worst case- prevent a potential takeover of the site by hostile forces.</p> <p>Efforts are to be undertaken to ensure a healthy population of common ravens (<em>Corvus corax</em>) at least in the area of the Burgberg. Should SCP-125-DE inquire on the presence of common ravens in Burgberg, their presence is to always be affirmed.</p> <p>For security reasons and to prevent the loss of valuable Foundation equipment, no Scranton Reality Anchors are allowed inside of SCP-125-DE-A.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-125-DE designates a humanoid entity, currently located in a large cavern beneath Burgberg in the Kyffhäuser<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>. This cavern is part of a tunnel system, which, due to its nature, is designated as SCP-125-DE-A.</p> <p>SCP-125-DE has the appearance of a man between the ages of 60 and 70. The entity wears a red gown, a golden hoop crown adorned with different gems, and a crucifix; the entity measures 410 cm in height, but weight could not be determined- it is estimated to be around 800 kg. The entity sits on a throne that appears to be made of ivory and rests its head in its hands on a round marble table approximately 8 meters in diameter. The hair of the entity is continuously glowing with an orange-yellow light. SCP-125-DE has a beard that reaches through a hole in the table, down to the ground, and encircles the table approximately six and a half times. SCP-125-DE has yet to be observed taking in sustenance, and is therefore believed to not require any.</p> <p>Collected data suggests that SCP-125-DE is a Class IX reality bending entity. However, it only uses its powers to prevent itself from being harmed, relocated, or further contained in some form, particularly since the Foundation began monitoring; even while using its powers, SCP-125-DE only makes a minimal effort. Hostiles are teleported away a few meters and/or disarmed and persons tasked with moving SCP-125-DE suddenly forget their tasks. Given SCP-125-DE's impaired environmental perception, it is assumed that this is an automated defense mechanism on which the entity exerts no direct influence.</p> <p>SCP-125-DE seems to be half asleep at all times and reacts very slowly on its environment. It is still possible to hold conversations with it in every desired language, even if it takes very long for SCP-125-DE to formulate a response- most responses are often mumbled. SCP-125-DE claims to be Frederick I, the Holy Roman Emperor (nicknamed "Barbarossa") and states that it was imprisoned in SCP-125-DE-A<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup>. These claims could until now not conclusively verified or dismissed.</p> <p>The entity sometimes asks present personnel "if there are still ravens on the mountain". This question is always affirmed as of ██/██/████, causing SCP-125-DE to briefly sigh. At the moment, it is unknown if and how the presence of ravens in the area of Burgberg impacts SCP-125-DE, but the population of common ravens in the Kyffhäuser and Burgberg in general was put under observation as a precaution.</p> <p>The interior of SCP-125-DE-A is currently not fully explored due to its size and possibly-limitless extents. The exploration is still being conducted. However, 567 life-size granite statues of knights, soldiers, and court servants have already been discovered in the caves, though their relocation for further study was not possible due to narrow spaces in SCP-125-DE-A<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>. The cave system itself possess three anomalous properties; firstly, it is not possible to enter SCP-125-DE using other ways than its entrance. During attempts to burrow into the cave system from outside, the excavation crews only hit solid rock which fills out the entire space SCP-125-DE-A is supposed to occupy. Secondly, it is impossible to permanently damage SCP-125-DE-A, as any damage is repaired within seconds due to the passive effects of SCP-125-DE. Thirdly, any human entity inside of SCP-125-DE-A is shown to have intimate knowledge of the cave system from a practical standpoint, despite having never set foot in it. This third effect can be counteracted by actively focusing on reaching a different goal or area.</p> <p>SCP-125-DE-A appears to have been created by the abilities demonstrated by SCP-125-DE and seems to only exist as long as it is maintained by the entity. This circumstance complicates the containment of SCP-125-DE, because it cannot be exposed to Scranton reality anchors in its current state. If such a device is transported inside SCP-125-DE-A, it immediately erases the space influenced by reality bending in its area of effect and is subsequently removed from existence together with all matter in its area of effect. The lost space is replaced instantly after this sudden disappearance.</p> <p>Why SCP-125-DE claims to be imprisoned in a space created by itself is not known at this time. However, Dr. Stramm theorizes that the entity is only entrapped in SCP-125-DE-A because it believes itself to be imprisoned and activates its reality bending capabilities as a consequence.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">Interview 125-DE-1</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <p><strong>Interviewing:</strong> Dr. Stramm</p> <p><strong>Interviewee:</strong> SCP-125-DE</p> <p><strong>Foreword:</strong> Dr. Stramm had sat down besides SCP-125-DE and talked to it until it started responding.

Assets of the Foundation at the scene had only anticipated human aggressors and could consequently only stall the attackers.

A puts his bag full of bags down in the centre of SCP-1278-KO.</p> <p><strong>2.</strong> A proceeds to enjoy a cup of instant cafe latte. A then pulls out a broom and scraper and starts cleaning the leftmost corner of the room after drinking the latte.</p> <p><strong>3.</strong> B follows A's orders, heads to the entrance, and disappears, after which he reappears, struggling to push a handcart carrying twelve(12) decotile boxes to the wall near the entrance. B repeats this action until 9:00 AM, when 48 boxes are piled up. A orders B to bring a heavy-duty glue canister and several gunny sacks, to which B complies.</p> <p><strong>4.</strong> After cleaning the left corner, A pulls out a glue spatula from the toolbox, opens the glue can with his hand, and pours it on the floor. He then proceeds to coat the floor with the glue evenly.</p> <p><strong>5.</strong> Several minutes past 9, B starts sweeping the centre of the room with the broom. As B sweeps slower compared to A's glue spreading, A continues to blame B while cleaning. From this point on, B appears intimidated. While B is cleaning, A harshly orders B to move ten (10) decotile boxes near the glue-coated floor. A opens the boxes and starts installing the tiles.</p> <p><strong>6.</strong> At 10 AM, B still has not finished cleaning. A asks B why he is taking so long. B replies by saying there were bumps on the bottom of the tiles, and when he removed the bumps, there was a lot of cement, which he took a lot of time scraping off with scrapers. A insults B saying that B is a "braindead twat", and snatches the broom from B's hand and starts cleaning himself. He blames B again for forgetting to hammer the clearly visible nails on the floor.</p> <p><strong>7.</strong> A finishes installing the tiles on the left side and cleaning the centre of the room. At 10:30 AM, he pours glue onto the centre of the room and continues installing the tiles. A blames B for doing a lousy job cleaning the floor and insults him, complaining, "anyone can sweep the floor". A urges B to move the decotile boxes near the wall onto the left floor, where the tiles are installed. Suffering from the verbal abuse, B starts weeping, to which A scoffs, saying he does not deserve to cry.</p> <p><strong>8.</strong> At 11:00 AM, B has completed moving the tile boxes and sits on the floor with a blank expression. A urges B to clean the right side of the room, saying that the faster he cleans the room, the earlier they'll all go home. B sips some water, picks up the broom and sweeps the right side of the room. At 11:30 AM, A is nearly finished with the centre tiles and drinks water near B.</p> <p><strong>9.</strong> After cleaning, B moves the decotile boxes to the centre of the room. A then scolds B to use the handcart if he's over-encumbered and insults B, saying if he keeps being "braindead", he'll "<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-63443044">end up like those blokes in Itaewon</a>". B fights back, saying, "that is no way to talk about the dead". A ignores it and keeps insulting B. B weeps.</p> <p><strong>10.</strong> At noon, A finishes the installation, and B collects decotile debris and trash into the gunny bags. A lectures B that "earning money is tough, nothing in this world is easy" and blames B's incompetence for taking longer than external workers. B, pouting, picks up A's used cigarette carton and throws it into the gunny sack.</p> <p><strong>11.</strong> A few minutes before 1:00 PM, A puts all his equipment into the tool bag. He grabs the bag and heads out to the door they entered with B. The lights inside SCP-1278-KO turn off.</p> </div> <hr/> <div class="blockquote"> <p><strong><tt>Occurence #4.

In the center of the lot, there are two subterranean air chambers that contain the anomaly. The external chamber is maintained at 70,000 Pa (~0.7 atm). In the event of any increase or decrease in pressure in the external chamber, a team is to be sent to repair the damaged chamber. The air chambers, which were originally above-ground, have been covered with soil, hiding them from the sight of nearby observers.</p> <p>Research into technology capable of rescuing staff trapped in SCP-128-PT-1 is under way. Until then, supplies are to be sent weekly to the staff trapped in SCP-128-PT-1, along side equipment approved by the Area PT2's director. The creation of Stationary Task Force PT4-μ ("Quaternions"), which would operate a containment installation inside SCP-128-PT-1, was proposed. Until evacuation of SCP-128-PT-1 is possible, this proposal has been suspended, and the space has been designated as a green zone<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup>.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-128-PT is an object theorized to be a hyper-dimensional spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin. Its intersection with normal space occupies a volume of 5.3 m by 10.1 m by 2.5 m in height, and is located 1.2 m above the ground. The exterior of the anomaly is uncommonly black, as it reflects practically 0% of the light that falls on it. The interior is illuminated artificially, and the surface of the corridors in its interior are composed of an unknown metal.</p> <p>Any object that touches the walls of SCP-128-PT disappears instantaneously, and rapidly arrives at SCP-128-PT-1, the space immediately above the anomaly's floor. Staff lost in SCP-128-PT-1 have found themselves in locations with geometries coherent with one another, and many have been able to find each other in this space.</p> <p><strong>Discovery:</strong> SCP-128-PT was discovered by SAMA (Autonomous Atmosphere Monitoring System), which detected an intense air flux converging on ████████-MA, █.█ km away from Area PT2, where the anomaly was found. In a few hours, the air flux was able to be stopped utilizing [REDACTED], and the vacuum chamber that currently surrounds the anomaly was constructed in three days. Since then, it has been designated SCP-128-PT.</p> <p>Aerial imagery revealed that in the first few hours after its appearance, the object changed form constantly. Mobile Task Force PT2-Alpha ("Homeless") was stationed at Area PT2, and part of it was sent to explore the anomaly 24h after the end of the vacuum chamber's construction.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Show exploration transcription.</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Hide</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <h2 id="toc0"><span>Video record transcription 128-1 - 1st exploration of SCP-128-PT</span></h2> <p>Date: 04/05/2019</p> <p><strong>Exploration Team:</strong> Mobile Task Force PT2-α ("Homeless")</p> <ul> <li>2-α 01 - Team leader</li> <li>2-α 02 - Tactical support</li> <li>2-α 03 - Tactical support / Thaumaturgy specialist</li> <li>2-α 04 - Tactical support / Paratechnology specialist</li> </ul> <p>Each member was equipped with a flashlight with a battery life of 3 hours, emergency rations, an automatic firearm, and 50 rounds of ammunition. They were wearing low pressure suits.</p> <hr/> <p><em>Recording begins when the airlock is closed. At the beginning of the recording, 2-α 04 illuminates the exterior of SCP-128-PT, which remains perfectly black.</em></p> <p><strong>Area Command:</strong> Okay, 2-Alpha, video and audio transmission perfectly functional. What do you report from the exterior of the anomaly?</p> <p><strong>2-α 03:</strong> Visually it seems the object's shape has stabilized, command. 02 is already setting up the equipment for a more precise measurement. Right there it seems like there's a two by two meter entrance. The interior doesn't absorb all light like the exterior. There's an object that looks like a gate, but it stops halfway through the opening. Doesn't look like it's broken either.</p> <p><strong>2-α 02:</strong> Command, this is 02. Instruments indicate zero ongoing deformation, and that temperature is slightly below room temperature.</p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> Understood, 02. 03, that opening didn't show up in previous records. You have permission to proceed, just be careful.</p> <p><em>The team begins to climb towards the opening.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 02:</strong> Artificial lighting. This was constructed, by the looks of it.</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Whoever made this liked the concept of corridors so much, they didn't even bother thinking if they were useful or not.</p> <p><strong>2-α 01:</strong> At least there's only one path.</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Exactly. You can't even say it's supposed to confuse invaders, since you can see the extra corridors go nowhere.</p> <p><strong>2-α 03:</strong> 04, settle down.</p> <p><strong>2-α 01:</strong> Certainly this isn't natural.</p> <p><em>In a lateral dead end corridor, the team finds what appears to be a console with a cubic screen, with many symbols on its surface, floating in the center of the corridor. 2-α 02 touches the superior surface<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> and drags a symbol to the side. It slides until it is off-screen, while the other symbols remain in place. When it reaches the edge, 2-α 01 records the appearance and disappearance of another symbol on the lateral surface directly below the edge of the superior surface out of which the first symbol exited. It is of the same color as the first, and rapidly changing shape. Researchers suggested that this might be indicative of the symbol being 3-dimensional.</em></p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> Careful, 02. We don't know what that terminal does, nor what could happen to you.</p> <p><strong>2-α 02:</strong> By dragging something to the side?</p> <p><strong>2-α 01:</strong> Honestly, would it surprise you?</p> <p><strong>2-α 02:</strong> Yeah, you're right.</p> <p><em>The team arrives at a sudden choke point in the corridor. Only one person can pass at a time.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 03:</strong> We already know what you're gonna say, 04. No need to say it.</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Understood.</p> <p><em>There are unrecognized objects on the floor ahead. They have random, rounded shapes. The most popular standing theory is that they are the cadavers of the anomaly's old crew. When all members have passed the choke point, they approach the bodies.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 03:</strong> If I had to guess, I'd say this is biological.</p> <p><em>For a few moments, MTF PT2-α look around in silence.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 01:</strong> Command, it looks like there isn't anywhere else for us to go. Requesting permission to return.</p> <p><em>Area PT2 Command spends a certain amount of time deliberating, but it is not captured by the microphone, and the recording returns to silence.</em></p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> Permission granted, 01. You may return.</p> <p><em>2-α 04 turns towards the exit, but trips on a bump on the ground and falls. When he collides with the wall, he disappears instantaneously. The color of the video feed of the other team members is altered by an amount imperceptible to the naked eye. 2-α 04's camera continues to record the anomaly's interior. The geometry of the interior changes rapidly for 0.45 s. At the beginning of this event, his suit beeps, indicating null internal pressure. When the geometry stabilizes, the suit beeps again indicating high internal pressure. 2-α 01 to 03 draw their weapons.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 03:</strong> OH SHIT.</p> <p><strong>2-α 02:</strong> COMMAND, WHAT HAPPENED?</p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> We're still receiving his video feed. 04, can you hear us?</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Ouch. Huh? Command, are you seeing this?</p> <p><em>2-α 04 raises his legs, revealing that he is floating.</em></p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> Affirmative, 04. How are you feeling?</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> I feel like I hit the ground as a whole. Like, I felt the collision even in my internal organs. Where are the others?</p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> The rest of the team is still in the anomaly. They're all where you were previously. Can you move?</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> It's like being in zero gravity. I move if I push the walls, but I stop moving fast. Something dissipates my movement. Like drag or something.</p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> The interior is very different for 04. 01, look around so we can compare.</p> <p><em>The cameras are moved about randomly. The interior remains unchanged for 2-α 01, but for 2-α 04 there are many more corridors in all directions, some are tens of meters long, and some have similar geometry to those explored by the rest of the team. 2-α 02 and 03 are still visibly stressed due to 2-α 04's disappearance. 2-α 04 turns around, sees the bodies and the camera's movement stops.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> What's going on here?</p> <p><em>2-α 04 raises his weapon and points it to the bodies.

They are surrounded by a translucent liquid with a brown hue<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-3" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-3')">3</a></sup>. Some of the bodies are not in contact with any of the anomaly's surfaces.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Command, when did these things move?</p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> Remain calm, 04. 01, show us the objects on the ground.</p> <p><em>2-α 01 turns the camera.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 01:</strong> Same as earlier.</p> <p><em>Area Command relays this information to 2-α 04, who calms down and lowers his weapon after a minute.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Of course. They're probably not even the same objects. <em>(Looking around.)</em> Command, I'm gonna need a few hours to explore all this. I think I'll need more supplies.</p> <p><em>Area Command asks for a member of the team to throw some of their rations where 2-α 04 fell. 2-α 01 throws some of his rations to the side, and they disappear as they come into contact with the wall. In less than two seconds, the thrown rations appear in SCP-128-PT-1. The package has a small tear, and some food spills out through the air. In half a second, the package and the overflowing food stops moving and remains still in the air.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Huh.</p> <p><em>2-α 04 pushes the package, which shortly ceases movement once more.</em></p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Not what I expected to see in zero gravity. <em>(Looks to the screen on his suit)</em> Atmospheric pressure is slightly above 1 atm. It appears my suit reached a peak pressure of 2 atm. Seeing as I'm not dead, I'd say the atmosphere here has a similar composition to our normal atmosphere. Maybe I can take my suit off. Command?</p> <p><strong>AC:</strong> Remain in the suit for as long as possible.</p> <p><strong>2-α 04:</strong> Understood. I'll proceed with the exploration.</p> <p><strong><End of Record></strong></p> <p><em><strong>Note:</strong> 2-α 04 continued exploring the anomaly until the arrival of the second expedition. Soon after the end of the record, 2-α 01 through 03 spent a few minutes analyzing the panel close to the entrance, and then exited SCP-128-PT and returned to Area PT2. See record 128-2 for the recording of 2-α 04's exploration of SCP-128-PT-1.</em></p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <p>On the following day, a second expedition was sent into the anomaly to collect samples. All of those who attempted to retrieve samples of SCP-128-PT's walls became stuck within SCP-128-PT-1. Attempts to retrieve samples from the ceiling or floor did not cause these effects, however they were unable to be removed, even when they appeared completely disconnected from the structure.</p> <p>In general, there are many more corridors accessible in SCP-128-PT-1 than there are in the intersection of the anomaly with normal space. Additionally, the total volume of corridors explored by staff trapped there exceeds the anomaly's external volume significantly.</p> <p>The only confirmed casualty of this expedition so far was Agent ███████ ████████, who touched SCP-128-PT near it's entrance. On the outside of the anomaly, there appeared to be only empty space. None of the Solar System's astronomical bodies were visible, including Earth, however a few distant stars were visible. Looking into the interior of the anomaly, it was noted that the entrance was blocked by a wall. The agent stretched his hand towards space. After a certain point his hand disappeared. The agent began to be pulled outwards, and his suit began to depressurize rapidly. When his body passed through the point where his hand had disappeared, the agent's recording showed SCP-128-PT shrinking rapidly and disappearing after approximately 0.1 s. No change to SCP-128-PT was noticed by observers within SCP-128-PT or in normal space after this event.</p> <p>As he explored SCP-128-PT-1, 2-α 04 found, in a location inaccessible in base space, a source of noise which produced a sound similar to that of an alarm. It was noted that the intensity of the noise was inversely proportional to the distance to the source cubed. Taking this into consideration, the hypothesis that SCP-128-PT might be a non-anomalous four-dimension object arose.</p> <p>After the second expedition, in order to rescue the staff within SCP-128-PT, two four-dimensional objects were created. Each of these objects was made by the union of two three-dimensional objects (one in normal space and another in SCP-128-PT-1), utilizing a substance with a melting point between the temperature within the vacuum chamber that surrounds the anomaly, and room temperature.</p> <p>When these objects were moved in SCP-128-PT-1, observers in base space saw a visible section of the object move. When force was applied on the objects, in order to transfer the section in base space into SCP-128-PT-1 and vice-versa, the objects disappeared from SCP-128-PT-1, and the two sections exchanged spaces successfully, however they did not affect the staff member that would be transported into base space.</p> <p>Using a similar design to the two previous objects, a third object was created. It incorporated a camera in each section. This object was used to map SCP-128-PT in all its dimensions. The result of the mapping is available upon request.</p> <p><strong>Addendum:</strong> Note from the Director of Research on SCP-128-PT.</p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Show</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Hide</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <blockquote> <h1 id="toc1"><span>A possible explanation for SCP-128-PT </span></h1> <p><strong>Date:</strong> 20/10/2019</p> <p>After extensive research, what has been observed so far shows that the anomaly behaves according to what is expected from a four-dimensional object. The majority of the laws of physics behave normally, and the ones that are apparently violated have been revealed as specific cases for three dimensions of more general laws that are followed.</p> <p>As it is practically impossible for a three-dimensional being to naturally comprehend a four-dimensional object, I will explain the most notable oddities with an analogy:</p> <p>Think on a species of two-dimensional beings. Like a sheet of paper someone could place perfectly upright (a very unstable equilibrium, but still an equilibrium), on which all specimens find themselves on the same plane. Normally these creatures would never suspect they live in a three-dimensional world, since everything they experience would occur on this plane.</p> <p>Now imagine one of the creatures encounters a three-dimensional object. I'll use a cylindrical tube as an example. If this object doesn't touch the floor on the plane, but is instead supported outside of it, it would appear to be floating to these specimens, just like SCP-128-PT. Depending on how the tube is oriented in relation to the plane, it may appear to have an exit or not, like the anomaly's strange corridors.</p> <p>If any of those beings touches one of the tube's walls, and the wall is not perfectly perpendicular to the plane, any force that it applied would remove the being from its unstable equilibrium and knock it over. From the other specimen's point of view, it would disappear, and it would fall on the ground. It would now be in a plane equivalent to SCP-128-PT-1, which is perpendicular to gravity and to the floor that is no longer visible, which would give it the impression that it is flying.</p> <p>Any specimen that tried to retrieve a sample would also fall. However, if they managed to find a perpendicular surface to the plane, it would only be able to damage the structure along the plane. It would create a piece of the structure that appears to be disconnected from the rest of it to whoever lives on the plane, but that is still connected in all other directions. If these beings attempted to collect some liquid produced by the tube, any vessel they created would be two-dimensional, and the fluid would easily escape through the sides. This is why we cannot analyze materials from SCP-128-PT.</p> <p>If these researchers have never witnessed these effects before, their atmosphere is probably also two-dimensional. When gasses touch the tube, they would fall in the same way as the paper creatures. Since the space they fall in would never be saturated with gas, the mere presence of this tube in this world's plane could, if not contained, eventually empty the atmosphere. And so we contain it. It's not every day that we have to contain a potentially explainable object, that fits in a warehouse, which is capable of causing an XK class scenario, but here we are.</p> <p>For the time being this is just a hypothesis. With this being the only four-dimensional object known to the Foundation, it's hard to say with certainty if the entire world as we know it always had an extra spatial dimension which the processes that developed this world decided not to use. However, maybe someday we will find out the fourth dimension is as valid a direction as the other three, and that all we know is only an infinitesimal fraction of the Universe.</p> <p>- Dr. Nathalia Lemos</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footnotes-footer"> <div class="title">Footnotes</div> <div class="footnote-footer" id="footnote-1"><a href="javascript:;" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnoteref-1')">1</a>.

Don't worry, I've already understood why in a world of standing pieces of paper, forces that would topple it can never appear, and that what occurs in SCP-128-PT requires an object with an extra dimension.</p> <p>But this idea of the flat world is still very strange to me. The precision required to make a sheet of paper stand on its edge is infinite. If a single atom were one femtometer off, eventually the sheet of paper would fall, and would be like the people in SCP-128-PT-1. If the Sun in its formation managed to be perfectly flat, of course everything that came from it would also be flat, but how did it manage that? What about the heavy elements that formed much, much earlier than the Sun? Were they always in the same plane, or did some event put them here?</p> <p>Maybe being three-dimensional is an anomaly. And, even after everything I've seen here at the Foundation, that's a sentence I never thought I'd say.</p> <p>- Paulo Duarte</p> </blockquote> </div> </div> </div> <div class="licensebox"> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">‡ Hide Licensing / Citation</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>Cite this page as:</p> <div class="list-pages-box"> <div class="list-pages-item"> <blockquote> <p>"<a href="/scp-128-pt">SCP-128-PT</a>" by Hinomupi, translated by Perdoh, from the <a href="https://scpwiki.com">SCP Wiki</a>.

SCP-1340-RU	<html><body><div id="page-content"> <p><strong>Item #:</strong> SCP-1340-RU</p> <p><strong>Object Class:</strong> Euclid</p> <p><strong>Special Containment Procedures:</strong> No methods of anomaly capture and containment have been developed as of yet; research efforts are currently ongoing. Anomaly witness identification and capture is to be performed according to standard Foundation search protocols. All circumstances of contact with the anomaly are to be ascertained on successful capture. If the first contact with SCP-1340 has been broken prematurely, it is required to perform a second test contact attempt. If the test proves negative, the subject is to be administered class B amnestics and released (with a week-long period of observation). All other subjects are to undergo comprehensive treatment procedures<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-1" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-1')">1</a></sup> and be administered class D amnestics. Should treatment fail, false memories of their personality and a dislike to television technologies should be implanted as per the "Second Life" protocol. Such subjects are then to be relocated to closed communes under Foundation control<sup class="footnoteref"><a class="footnoteref" href="javascript:;" id="footnoteref-2" onclick="WIKIDOT.page.utils.scrollToReference('footnote-2')">2</a></sup> (in particular, those lacking access to television), where they can be used in covert safe research experiments amidst routine tasks.</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> SCP-1340 is a phenomenon consisting of spontaneous appearances of an image of a human eye on CRT-based TV screens; said image takes up the majority of the kinescope's visible area. Despite apparent lack of consistency between cases of the phenomenon's appearance, certain patterns have been deduced as intrinsic, such as:</p> <ul> <li>SCP-1340 appears exclusively on cathode-ray tube-based devices (though implementation of this technology may vary) connected to analog television antennas;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>SCP-1340's periods of activity fall between 23:00 and 02:00 on local time; all registered incidents involving SCP-1340 are localized to the northern hemisphere (between 45° and 75° latitude);</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Each particular registered incident has involved only a single witness (hereafter referred to as 'observer'). Possibility of concurrent observation in different locations has been confirmed by experiment; as such, the anomaly cannot be contained through observer isolation.</li> </ul> <p>General analysis of anomaly witness reports as well as replicated contact efforts have permitted to pinpoint the course of SCP-1340's activity. During first contact the anomaly manifests on active television screens that have been showing "white noise" for extended periods of time. During subsequent contact events the anomaly is capable of overriding low-quality transmissions. Presence or absence of audio transmission has no effect on contact probability. Upon manifestation the device begins showing an image of a human eye which takes up the majority of the screen. Said eye is blue and belongs to a man; the image is clear and free of any effects that hamper overall perception of the contents.</p> <p>Analysis of the eye's sclera has confirmed that all instances of the anomaly transmit the image of the same man. The eye is always wide open (slowed and infrequent blinking is present), the pupil is dilated, and the eye often reacts (with delay) to the observer's movement, tracking them. If the affected device has audio enabled, upon manifestation the sound volume will be reduced to 25 dB, and it will consist of weak "white noise" static along with intact and fragmented words, distorted and pronounced with apparent difficulty.</p> <p>Should the observer shut off or destroy the device during first contact with SCP-1340 (destruction of the kinescope is sufficient in the latter case), the anomaly will no longer manifest in front of that observer. Otherwise the anomaly will continue manifesting itself on the device every time under the described requirements (even without the observer present). Under continued observation SCP-1340 expands its sphere of influence and begins to appear not only in the location of first contact, but also in other places where the observer is present.</p> <p>It has been noted that in 65% of registered cases during repeated contacts the anomaly brings into existence an unlimited number of CRT television devices of various kinds and models (exclusively within the locale of first contact), which seem to operate without any apparent power sources. The TVs are placed on the floor, on various furniture present and on each other, and vary in size substantially. During the anomaly's active periods all devices transmit the same image of SCP-1340, and the anomaly's eye is not able to track the observer (instead chaotically looking from side to side), while the sounds' volume (despite a considerable number of additional speakers) increases by only up to 10 dB. The TV devices are off while the anomaly is inactive.</p> <p>Observers rarely disclose the occasion and usually consider it a sign of psychological illness. In rare cases the subjects have been able to get rid of SCP-1340's presence through prolonged medical treatment; in addition, the observers develop phobias towards watching television, which prevent further contacts with the anomaly. Due to the circumstances above the Foundation is currently unable to discern the periodicity of manifestations or the overall ammount of contact cases.</p> <p>All experiments with SCP-1340 have been classified by the Ethics Committee.</p> <p>The Foundation has successfully recovered several documents that explain the anomaly's appearance from internal GoI archive records; the addendums are available with clearance level 4.</p> <p><strong>Addendums to the SCP-1340 document:</strong></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Suicide letter belonging to ███████ █. █. 11.01.1969</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p><strong>Suicide letter belonging to ███████ █. █. 11.01.1969</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>My name is ███████ ███████, I am an accountant at ████████████, and this will be my suicide note. I have no relatives or loved ones, so I write to you, prosecutors and officers.<br/> I am haunted by hallucinations related to TVs. It must be because of my trauma and several months of coma. It happened first when I fell asleep after the show ended. I woke up to the sound of my cat screaming and saw an enormous eye staring directly at me from the screen. I was half asleep and didn't understand what was going on, but then realized that the broadcast has long since ended (it was about 1 hour past midnight on the clock). The eye was just staring at me, and then… blinked. I screamed, threw something at it and ran to the bathroom. When I caught my breath and calmed myself enough, I looked back. The eye was still there, and it only turned to stare at me again. I couldn't muster the courage to shut it off, and as such stayed awake in the bathroom, shutting it down when sunrise came and when there was only static on the screen.<br/> I've witnessed that eye time and time again after that, I stopped panicking in front of it and learned to withstand its gaze. At some point I thought that it was my own eye. It looked scary, but it didn't want to scare. I brought myself closer to it and tried to hear what it speaking to me. It was quiet, even on full volume, and I decided to buy another TV for it. Then another. I wanted to hear what it was saying. I wanted to help it.<br/> I started stealing, and for that I am sincerely sorry. All the money I got that way I've spent on travelling around the Soviet cities and buying out old TVs. I have collected 18 in total, different ones, small and big. Maybe that was me hypercompensating for the fear, and maybe my attempts to find the truth are just justifications. I don't know.<br/> Every night I closed the blinds to prevent my neighbors from seeing this bright blue light, and listened. It didn't get much louder, but I managed to discern some of the words. I didn't understand much, but what I did finally did me in. I'm <em>insane</em>.<br/> I've recorded all my stealings on the backside of this note and request to repay them through selling off my car. I will break the TVs, there is no other way. I bequeath my brain to scientific purposes so that they can help those like me.<br/> I request not to blame anyone for my death.<br/> <strong>███████ █. █. 11.01.1969</strong><br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p><span style="color:red">Classified</span><br/> <span style="color:red">Krivopalov</span></p> </div> </blockquote> </div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> </div> </div> <p><br/></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Research Institute «Progress» internal report, 14.08.1967</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <div style="border:solid 1px #999999; background:#ffffff; padding:13px; margin-bottom: 15px;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></p> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p><strong>To: «Progress» Research Institute director</strong><br/> <strong>Kovalev V.G.</strong></p> <p><strong>From: Bureau №4 Director</strong><br/> <strong>«Mind and consciousness»</strong><br/> <strong>Krivopalov A.C.</strong></p> </div> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p><strong>№: I-1/12/B-4/318/67</strong><br/> <strong>14.08.1967</strong></p> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <p><strong>Internal report</strong></p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>Per Bureau №4's current directives I am informing you of a suggestion to use the developments of the «Mind-64» project to study transmission methods for discrete thoughtforms and, further on, main cerebrum portion impulse flows through inclusion in infocode arrays designed to adapt the technology to television methods of information playback.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>As you know, the «Mind-64» project has advanced significantly since integration of [REDACTED]. Currently we are able to record and seamlessly transmit neural impulses, but the Institute still does not possess a suitable storage device for such vast quantities of information. The only currently known storage sufficient for human mind conservation is the infosphere itself.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>There are other difficulties as well. Out transmission capabilities significantly outpace our recording capabilities. The speed of processes running within a human brain is too high, far higher than our current speed of impulse recording, which means that we cannot adequately record and transmit the full thoughtform of a person without disrupting its connections and, as such, without degrading their consciousness and memory. Unfortunately, this lag does not allow us to experiment with copying a healthy person's personality; however, the Bureau members have found an alternative method.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>It has been proposed that we use a comatose source in the experiment. I have taken responsibility and have found a suitable candidate for such a role. Under medical attention in municipal hospital №██ currently lies patient ███████ █. █., in a state of coma after a tragic accident. We hereby request your assistance in arranging a classified experiment on transmitting their personality into the infosphere through our Bureau's newest antenna and receiving the resulting signal on the Chukot station. The process will take approximately two hours; chemical treatments developed by Bureau №█ are proposed to be used to slow the brain's activity as much as possible. Yes, we will be unable to halt the cerebral processes completely, but the estimated damage to the consciousness thoughtform is expected to be minimal.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>Now onto the practical side of this research project. We expect the Chukchi Peninsula radio station personnel to receive the information of this person in format close to television standards. At this point we can only guess what it will look like, and whether such a transmission will bear any significance for further research. In overall, however, I foresee use of this technology applied to being able to transmit a speaker or presenter directly into every house, every particular receiver. The viewers will gain access to actual talk partners competent in various topics, who will be able to convey useful information more concretely to every particular listener. Just imagine: you turn on the TV, and the athletic show host does not only show you the exercises and keep count, but also points out mistakes and gives professional advice. Educational shows for children and adults, news reports, sport shows, travel and history documentaries etc. will grow to a new level, open the path to fully-fledged connection and feedback.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <p>I would like to specifically address any possible concerns about the experiment's ethical side. The operations involved will cause no physical consequences or even discomfort to the test subject. All records of this intervention will be kept secret. I would also like to point out the fact that the resulting information model of a human ("phantom", thoughtform, or "mind mold") is not human in the word's common meaning, and exists only as an idea, a information current, which puts it closer to a soulless computer.</p> </div> <div style="text-align: right;"> <p><strong>Bureau №4 Director</strong><br/> <strong>«Mind and consciousness»</strong><br/> <strong>Krivopalov A.C.</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> </div> </div> <p><br/></p> <div class="collapsible-block"> <div class="collapsible-block-folded"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">+ Transcription of SCP-1340's speech pattern analysis</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded" style="display:none"> <div class="collapsible-block-unfolded-link"><a class="collapsible-block-link" href="javascript:;">- Close</a></div> <div class="collapsible-block-content"> <p>The following transcript has been procured through the Foundation's speech recognition hardware from registered occurrences of the anomaly.
