Item #: SCP-5000
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5000 is to be contained within a 2 m x 2 m soundproof chamber reinforced with 1 cm steel plating on all sides. Weekly inspections for any breaches are mandatory. Although video surveillance is permitted, camera resolution must not surpass 144p, and audio surveillance is strictly forbidden. All video surveillance is to be cut in the event that SCP-5000 gesticulates for more than 5 seconds, and its location within the chamber is to then be monitored through pressure sensors for the next 12 hours, at which time video surveillance is to resume.
With the exception of a containment breach, absolutely no personnel are permitted to enter SCP-5000's chamber for any reason.
Description: SCP-5000 is a humanoid creature measuring 183 cm in height and 70 kg in weight. All physical features of SCP-5000 are similar to that of an average adult human male, with the exception of the entity lacking skin and eyelids. SCP-5000 appears to wear an ordinary business suit, but inspection has revealed this to be part of its body rather than actual clothing.
SCP-5000 is normally docile, spending most of each day standing, sitting, and occasionally pacing around its cell at a normal walking speed. However, upon visually sighting a human, SCP-5000 will immediately approach the individual and begin speaking to them; as of present, the Foundation has been unable to decipher SCP-5000's language to any degree. The volume of SCP-5000's voice ranges from 80 to ███ decibels.
Despite SCP-5000's speech being entirely unintelligible, any individual spoken to by the entity will appear to understand it perfectly. In the event that an individual is deaf, SCP-5000 will communicate through what is assumed to be sign language, although all signs used are also thus far indecipherable; it should additionally be noted that SCP-5000 will somehow know an individual is deaf even if the individual displays no immediate signs of being disabled. All individuals communicating with or otherwise observing SCP-5000 show no signs of noticing its extremely abnormal physical appearance. From the moment SCP-5000 has begun communicating with an individual, the individual will be designated SCP-5000-1.
After speaking to SCP-5000-1 for 1 to 10 minutes, SCP-5000 will cease vocalizing and walk away. Upon sighting another individual(s), the entity will repeat the process. As of present, the Foundation has been unable to cure or otherwise treat instances of SCP-5000-1 in any amount.
For the next approximately 24 hours after being infected by SCP-5000, instances of SCP-5000-1 will exhibit precisely the same behavior as SCP-5000, and will not eat, drink, sleep, or perform any other basic bodily necessities. At the end of this period of time, instances of SCP-5000-1 will collapse after undergoing sudden and severe cardiac arrest. All attempts at resuscitating instances of SCP-5000-1 have thus far failed.
Addendum 5000: Due to the possibility of SCP-5000 causing a global infection and thereby SK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario, Dr. █████ has submitted a formal request that its object class be upgraded to Keter, with this currently awaiting review by the O5 Council. The O5 Council has denied this request on the grounds that an outbreak sparked by SCP-5000 could be contained without enough difficulty to qualify it for an End-of-the-World Scenario risk.
Discovery: SCP-5000 was discovered in ███████, Kansas on 8 November 1981, after the Foundation was alerted, by an agent embedded in the ████████ County Sheriff's Department, of an encounter with a "skinless thing speaking in gibberish", as well as a sudden and unexplained rise in heart failure related deaths in the town. Foundation personnel, disguised as an FBI task force, were promptly deployed to investigate and contain the anomaly. SCP-5000 was found in a convenience store, with the proprietor reported to be "in a trance." SCP-5000 approached the agents and began speaking to them, at which point all contact was lost. A second, larger task force was immediately dispatched, finding the members of the previous team to be displaying identical symptoms to the proprietor. Correctly suspecting the source of the object's anomalous ability, the agents equipped ear plugs and restrained it; the entity did not resist containment.
Item #: SCP-5001
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation-operated web analysis bot Charlie-10 ("JOYEND") is to be kept in constant operation and inspected for malfunctions twice per week by a Level 2 staff member familiar with its operation. When functional, JOYEND is to search a wide range of file sharing and video streaming websites for presence of SCP-5001 and delete any encountered instances.
SCP-5001 is to be viewed for testing purposes only, and all requests must be approved by Dr. Nelson; a second, separate request must be made if intending to use speakers. Only one viewing of SCP-5001 may be conducted at a time. The device displaying SCP-5001 is to be stationed within a 3 m x 3 m x 3 m soundproof chamber with 1.5 m thick concrete on all sides.
If not approved for use, no speakers, connected/powered or not, may be permitted within 10 m of the testing chamber. Assigned guards are to thoroughly inspect this radius for speakers prior to the start of all tests.
Description: SCP-5001 is a video titled joy.mp4 lasting 3 minutes and 28 seconds. It is spread exclusively through video streaming and file sharing websites, as well as ████████. Thus far, no reliable evidence has been found to indicate that SCP-5001 existed prior to 2005. See Log 5001 for details on the video.
Transcript 5001:
<0:00> SCP-5001 begins, depicting a small room in which an Asian man and woman kneel motionless on the floor, both aged approximately in their mid-thirties.
<0:14> A pulsating and vaguely humanoid shadow, designated SCP-5001-1, enters the room behind the subjects via what appears to be some form of self-levitation.
<0:43> SCP-5001-1 raises it's left appendage and forms the end from a stump to a sharp point.
<0:48> The subjects begin quietly weeping.
<0:55> SCP-5001-1 lowers its appendage to the back of the male subject's head.
<1:03> SCP-5001-1 springs its appendage forward, spearing through the male subject's skull; it should be noted that no blood or any other bodily fluids emanate from the man as a result of this. The female subject turns to SCP-5001-1 and begins screaming and loudly sobbing.
<1:06> SCP-5001-1 ██████████ the male subject's corpse. The female subject subsequently vomits before frantically crawling to the opposite corner of the room.
<1:08> SCP-5001-1 retracts its appendage from the deceased male subject, causing the body to ████████ and drop limply to the floor.
<1:11> SCP-5001-1 quickly swings its appendage across the female subject's neck to the left, with her vocalizations instantly ceasing.
<1:14> The female subject collapses, with her head cleanly separating; again, there are no visible bodily fluids.
<1:41> SCP-5001-1 appears to dissolve.
<2:16> The camera begins slowly zooming in on the center frame, and a sound, identified as belonging to a large swarm of bees, begins playing and slowly increasing in volume.
<3:27> The buzzing sound reaches its maximum volume of ███ decibels; this occurs regardless of the volume any connected speakers are set to.
<3:28> The video cuts to black and ends.
At minute 1:03, any subjects viewing SCP-5001 will begin laughing uncontrollably. Between minutes 2:51 and 3:09, if any speakers are within 10 m of a device playing SCP-5001, subjects within 20 m will undergo severe tympanic membrane perforation; any of these subjects also viewing SCP-5001 will display no visible indication of pain or otherwise discomfort.
Immediately upon the conclusion of SCP-5001, all subjects viewing it will perish from asphyxiation caused by severe respiratory muscle fatigue. All attempts at preventing this or resuscitating afflicted subjects have failed thus far.

Item #: SCP-5002
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-5002's location and nature, physical means of containment are currently impossible. Foundation satellites in orbit around Pluto are to maintain constant surveillance of SCP-5002's progress. If and when SCP-5002 comes within 1 billion km of Pluto, a perimeter of long-range sonic cannons (FORCE Array), positioned in the planet's upper atmosphere, is to deploy.
If SCP-5002 comes within 500 million km of Pluto, assigned Foundation personnel will initiate Protocol BRASS SUN (see Addendum 5003-b), given its completion by that time.
Description: SCP-5002 is an enormous cloud-like mass of molecule-based nanomachines; an extremely rough estimation of the total number is around ██████████████ at minimum. The object is calculated to be steadily moving at a speed of about 299,999 kps, or 99% the speed of light, with its current trajectory being Earth and the solar system at large. SCP-5002's source of propulsion and ability to function in the vacuum of space is presently unknown.
SCP-5002 was discovered by Foundation personnel in 1989, at which time it was distanced approximately ███ light years from the solar system; the object is currently ██ light years away, and is estimated to arrive around 20██ if FORCE Array is ineffective and Protocol BRASS-SUN fails or cannot be initiated.
The properties of SCP-5002 were not fully understood by the Foundation until ██ ████ 199█, when the object was observed to intercept the [DATA EXPUNGED] system, at which point it proceeded to ██████████ ███████ all celestial bodies before increasing in size by approximately ███ percent. It was then understood that SCP-5002 is capable of █████ ████████████ any ██████ it ██████████. Since this incident, no physical trace of the [DATA EXPUNGED] system has been found.
On ██ ████ 199█, the O5 Council unanimously announced that under no circumstances is SCP-5002 to be engaged through physical means. FORCE Array and Protocol BRASS SUN were subsequently devised, with the former reaching and being situated within Pluto's upper atmosphere on █ ██████ 200█.
See Addendum 5002-a for an unredacted version of the previous two paragraphs. Level 4 clearance is required.
In the event that SCP-5002 were to reach Earth, it would undoubtedly cause an NK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario. Therefore, neutralizing the object has been designated an Alpha priority by the O5 Council.
Addendum 5002-a:
The properties of SCP-5002 were not fully understood by the Foundation until 18 July 1998, when the object was observed to intercept the [DATA EXPUNGED] system, at which point it proceeded to completely destroy all celestial bodies before increasing in size by approximately 300 percent. It was then understood that SCP-5002 is capable of fully assimilating any matter it encounters. Since this incident, no physical trace of the [DATA EXPUNGED] system has been found.
On 19 July 1998, the O5 Council unanimously announced that under no circumstances is SCP-5002 to be engaged through physical means. FORCE Array and Protocol BRASS-SUN were subsequently devised, with the former reaching and being situated within Pluto's upper atmosphere on 5 August 2001.
Addendum 5002-b:
As of right now, SCP-5002 is indestructible by human means. Worse, its exceptionally rapid assimilation capabilities ensure that any physical attack would only strengthen it. We have maybe forty years until that grey cloud reaches us, and then that's that. As unprecedented as the technology used in FORCE Array is, it'll only delay 5002 by a decade or so at best, assuming it even works at all. We know things like 5002 don't occur naturally—something made this, and I'm willing to bet they didn't have any interest in destroying themselves. We'd already theorized a "grey goo" scenario just like this, and it looks like another civilization caused exactly that, however accidental. For all we know, hundreds of species before us have tried and failed to stop 5002. For the sake of not just ourselves, but the rest of the universe, we have to be the ones to succeed.
We know from the incident on 18 July 1998 that 5002 can absorb all states of matter aside from gases, but that weakness isn't very helpful for obvious reasons. Instead, we've theorized that a colossal electromagnetic pulse is currently our sole way of stopping 5002, and this brings me to Protocol BRASS SUN.
As professional as our Foundation is, sometimes brute force is the best solution, and that approach applies perhaps no better than here. How do we power this EMP? We don't know. How do we deliver this EMP? We don't know that, either. Are we at least making some amount of progress? Yes, but it's very slow going, and if we pull this off, odds are it'll be right in the nick of time; and even then, it could easily fail. If that happens, and we haven't devised a Plan B by then, I don't think I need to spell out what comes next.
The vastness of space has bought us invaluable time, and we can't waste a second of it. As bleak as the situation sounds and is, I want to make it clear that I have every confidence we can beat this thing. Why? Because I have to. Because we have to.

Item #: SCP-5003
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5003 is to be contained inside a 1.5 m x 1 m aluminum box. No windows or transparent material of any kind can be present on the containment box. At least one camera must be present within the box, constantly active, and constantly observed by at least one member of authorized Foundation personnel. In the unlikely event of a power outage, or any other event that renders the camera(s) even temporarily inactive, a blind member of authorized Foundation personnel is to open the box and manually confirm the presence of SCP-5003. If a blind member of Foundation staff is not on site at the time, a D-class is to be chemically blinded and enlisted to conduct the inspection.
Description: SCP-5003 is a perfect replica of Francisco Goya's painting Saturn Devouring His Son. SCP-5003 is highly cognitohazardous, projecting a psychic field with a radius of 10 m, though this only affects individuals who are simultaneously viewing the subject; the object's psionic score has been measured as 64. Blind individuals are immune.
Any individuals possessing a psionic score of 64 or lower who are within 10 m of SCP-5004 and have an unobstructed view of the object for more than 5 seconds will begin feeling drawn to the subject, with their eyes becoming fixed on it and refraining from blinking for up to 120 seconds. Any moderate external stimulus, such as physical contact made by another individual, is sufficient in releasing the subject from their trance.
If an individual views SCP-5003 for more than 30 seconds, whereupon they will be designated SCP-5003-1, they will die in a manner identical to that of the son in the painting within the following 72 hours—the head removed at the base of the neck and the arms removed at the shoulders. Autopsies have concluded that these wounds are always inflicted through massive human teeth, and have also identified bruises and scratches across the front and back of victims' torsos; these markings are consistent with massive human fingers and fingernails.
Experiments has found that instances of SCP-5003-1 will still perish while in view of another individual, though continually viewing the subject will ensure that it does not perish until the maximum period of 72 hours has elapsed. Once this occurs, the instance will perish the moment the observing individual(s) blinks. If the individual(s) blinks each eye separately in an attempt to avoid this, they will invariably be forced to completely blink within the following 5 minutes by an increasingly powerful psychic force measured at up to ███.
As it is currently impossible for the Foundation to observe the actual process of death of an SCP-5003-1 instance, it is unknown if a physical anomalous entity is involved. Research into the possibility of the existence of SCP-5003-2 is ongoing. If this hypothetical entity's existence is confirmed, the O5 Council has preemptively authorized that SCP-5003 be upgraded to Keter class.
Discovery: SCP-5003 was discovered on █ █████ 19██ after Foundation personnel, disguised as local police, investigated a string of graphic murders in ███████████, Spain. They eventually tracked the source to a painting in the gallery of ██████████ Museum. After employing proper safety measures, the team extracted SCP-5003 without incident. The museum staff were informed that the object was an illegal replica and thus being seized.
Item #: SCP-5004
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5004 is to be contained within a 20 cm x 20 cm x 20 cm display case, equipped with 10 cm steel plating on all but the display side; the bullet resistant glass must be 3 7 cm. The entrance to the chamber housing SCP-5004 is to be watched by two armed guards at all times, with these guards being required to possess a score of at least 49 on the Psionic Resistance Index.
Only Foundation personnel with a clearance level of 4 or higher are permitted to access the display case, which must be done through a fingerprint scan, retinal scan, and spoken key phrase authentication. All personnel wishing to test SCP-5004 must first submit a 5004 Requested Course of Action form to site director Dr. Abrams. Upon approval, testers must be equipped with an explosive killswitch collar to be detonated by Dr. Abrams at his discretion.
Description: SCP-5004 is a human skull composed entirely of semi-opaque ruby with a clarity grade of VVS. Carbon dating has revealed the object's age to be approximately 8.24 million years. SCP-5004 projects a psychic field with a radius of 5 m, with walls and other obstructions incapable of dampening this affect to any degree; the object's psionic score has been measured at 48.
Any individuals possessing a psionic score of 48 or lower who are within 5 m of SCP-5004 for more than 8 minutes will begin feeling drawn to the object. If an individual is exposed for over 20 minutes, they will react violently to any attempts to prevent them from accessing SCP-5004 (see Test Log 5004 for more information).
Upon making physical contact with SCP-5004, the object will teleport so that it encases the head of the subject, who will now be designated SCP-5004-1. This action will fuse the two skulls together and cause SCP-5004-1 to collapse and severely convulse for 2-4 minutes, at which point the subject will undergo brain death and become completely limp for 1-2 minutes before spontaneously combusting. The matter composing SCP-5004-1's body will then be quickly replaced by a substance resembling volcanic soil, ash, and lava, with the source of these materials being unknown. At the same time, SCP-5004-1 will stand before it and SCP-5004 rapidly grow in size to a height of approximately 30,480 cm (304.8 m). During this transformation process, most objects within approximately 60 m will be mostly or completely destroyed from igniting or melting.
SCP-5004 will aggressively vocalize at a maximum decibel level of ███ and proceed to trample, ignite, and otherwise damage or destroy anything in its path; the anomaly's radius of destruction is approximately 30 m. All attempts to communicate with the entity have failed, and thus the status of its sapience is currently unknown. SCP-5004 will continue its rampage indefinitely, with the only method appearing capable of stopping it being no less than a full military bombardment with a payload equivalent to 1 kiloton of TNT. Upon being subjected to this force, SCP-5004-1 will collapse and SCP-5004 will return to its original size. It should be noted that SCP-5004 has never been damaged during any incidents.
Discovery: SCP-5004 was discovered in northern Siberia on 3 November 1988. Local villagers reported a massive "demon." Dispatched Soviet authorities were intercepted by embedded Foundation personnel, who proceeded to engage the entity. Response was increased over the following 6 hours with little apparent effect, and the O5 Council prepared to order a Tier 3 (Nuclear Detonation) response. This was prevented when conventional attacks eventually managed to weaken SCP-5004 enough to cause it to collapse. SCP-5004 and the remains of SCP-5004-1 were subsequently collected and stored at Site ██.
Incident Report 5004:
On 16 February 1992, while guarding SCP-5004, Agent ███████ was psychically influenced by the object. When his partner, Agent █████, attempted to stop him from accessing it, Agent ███████ shot and killed him before breaking the display case glass by firing at it, at which point he made physical contact with the anomaly. This resulted in a site-wide containment breach ending in ███ casualties before SCP-5004 was re-contained. The display case's glass was subsequently upgraded.
Photo of SCP-5005 taken on 15 September 1986. Due to the object's current radiation levels, further up-close photography is impossible.
Item #: SCP-5005
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5005 should be transported to Site 71 as soon as possible. Any personnel intending to come within 10 m of SCP-5005 must be equipped with Class 7 hazmat suits. All requests for testing must be approved by Dr. Paige.
Due to SCP-5005's extremely hazardous nature, it is advised that it permanently remain contained within the Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Nuclear Power Station, now designated Site 26. The object's depth should be measured at least 4 times per week, and the condition of the barrier should be checked similarly. SCP-5005 is to be surrounded by no less than 8 radiation-suppressing devices (RSDs), which should be on full power at all times. Any decrease in the effectiveness of an RSD should immediately be reported to site director Dr. Paige, and the RSD should be repaired or replaced at once. Any changes whatsoever in the radiation levels of SCP-5005 should also be reported to Dr. Paige without delay. Any personnel entering Site 26 must be equipped with Class 10 hazmat suits, and should not remain within 15 m of SCP-5005 for more than 40 minutes. Absolutely no personnel are permitted to physically interact with SCP-5005 in any way for any reason.
To prevent further leaking of information to the public, a misinformation campaign is to be conducted indefinitely.
Description: SCP-5005 is a mass of unknown radioactive substance, measuring approximately 2.5 m in length and 4.5 m in height, emitting 10,000 roentgens and thus capable of delivering a lethal dose of radiation in less than 3 minutes without sufficient protection.
SCP-5005 is a mass of unknown radioactive substance, measuring approximately 2.5 m in width and 4.5 m in height, emitting █████████ roentgens and thus capable of delivering a lethal dose of radiation in ██ milliseconds without sufficient protection, and 45 minutes with sufficient protection. The object is also highly acidic, with a pH of 1, with this having caused it to sink 6 m through the concrete floor from its original placement. To prevent SCP-5005 from eventually reaching and contaminating groundwater, a 4 m x 6 m barrier, composed of a titanium-tungsten alloy, was constructed below it. Additionally, the object's true threat stems from its expanding of its field of radiation. When unhindered, the field progresses at a rate of approximately 10 centimeters per day. If left unhindered, it is estimated that SCP-5005's radiation field would fully encompass the entire planet within ████ days, resulting in an XK-Class End-of-the-World Scenario.
Discovery: SCP-5005 was discovered on 27 April 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. Originally believed to be composed of corium, testing determined it did not contain any elements on the periodic table, which resulted in its SCP classification. On 30 December 1986, the object's roentgen count suddenly increased from 10,000 to █████████, killing ██ Foundation personnel instantly and ███ over the next three months from acute radiation poisoning. On 2 January 1987, the O5 Council unanimously voted to upgrade SCP-5005's object class to Keter and establish new special containment procedures.
Addendum: On 5 January 1987, Soviet authorities managed to gain access to and publicly leak multiple early documents and photos of SCP-5005. Fortunately, none of this data revealed the object's anomaly. Personnel deemed responsible for the security breach were reprimanded accordingly, and a misinformation campaign was ordered to prevent future incidents; this has included crafting and photographing a fake version of SCP-5005 in a separate part of the facility. Dr. Paige has also instructed that the public's nickname for the object, the "elephant's foot", be encouraged.

Item #: SCP-42069
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The area roamed by SCP-42069-1 and SCP-42069-2 is to be enclosed by a titanium wall reaching a minimum height of five meters. Armed guards are to patrol the tops of the walls, but must be briefed that their weapons are intended only to incapacitate the entities, and are incapable of destroying them. In the event of an disturbance, most often auditory, a patrol of at least four guards are to be sent into the enclosure to investigate. This process should last no more than 45 minutes before the patrol returns. Contact the on-duty site director if the patrol does not return after this period has elapsed. All guards are to be equipped with SCRAMBLE goggles modified to obscure the entire body of SCP-42069-1 and SCP-42069-2, rather than just their faces.
Description: SCP-42069 is the collective designation of the entities SCP-42069-1 and SCP-42069-2. When viewing either of the entities with the naked eye, there is a minimum 95% chance that the human will instantly die; this chance increases for every second that a human continues to view the entity(s). The reason behind this is unknown, but it is theorized that the sheer ugliness of the entities is simply too much for the human mind to comprehend, and so the brain automatically ceases all electrical activity as a natural response. Further testing is required.
It is interesting to note that SCP-42069-2 poses a slightly higher threat, as humans viewing it will die 99% of the time, as opposed to the 95% of SCP-42069-1. Based on current Foundation knowledge, it can be assumed that this is due to SCP-42069-2 being even more visually abhorrent.
It is also currently unknown as to the source of the entities' high resistance to gunfire. Current testing has concluded that bullets are unable to effectively penetrate the extreme ugliness of the entities. Foundation research and development teams are currently working to create bullets capable of piercing the entities' unparalleled repulsiveness.
