Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must at all times be locked in Special Containment Site 23, in a modified High Value Item Vault. The vault must be equipped with twelve (12) Scranton Reality Anchors, all of which must constantly be connected to 2 separate power generators. MTF Upsilon-4 "Gatekeepers" must always be present on-site and must always have at least 2 squads present on Secure Outpost 29A.The vault must be equipped with high-rate, big-caliber weapons pointing on its inside,and connected to visual sensors that will activate them if an entity manifests in the vault.

Note from O5 Command: SCP-XXXX has been designated an O5 Object Of Interest. As such, its protection must be prioritized over any other mission, and local MTFs must immediately respond to any calls for help from Site-29.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a titanium cubic box, measuring 20×20×20cm. The box was locked with a standard padlock when it came to Foundation's atention. It contains an unknown device, roughly resembling a generator of some sort. All the components of the device are known, existing mechanic and electronic elements, whose function is completely understood by conventional science, but they are connected in an unexpected way and at the center of the device there is a large red gemstone of unknown kind, not connected to any of the components.

+ Input level 4 credentials

The device's anomalous abilities manifest when activated in an appropriate manner (see Interview Log XXXX-1). To activate the device, a user must input a drop of blood on the titanium casing on the bottom left of the device, which will light up two hidden buttons. When that is done, the user must press the two red buttons for 5 continuous seconds in order to activate the teleporting procedure. While pressing the buttons, the user will experience [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED]. If not having died by these effects, the device will teleport him in any desired location,by an as of yet unknown procedure. The device is also able to act as a "gate" to our universe for entities from other dimensions. The full extent of its effects is yet unknown, but high caution is adviced following incidents 2 and 3.

• SCP-XXXX-1 is a human male (homo sapiens sapiens) around 67 years of age, bearing distinctive features associated witn low gravitational forces. He was not found to bear any other anomalous features or abilities. Further information regarding his discovery by the Foundation and the following events is included on Interview Logs XXXX-1 and -2.
• SCP-XXXX-2 is a human male (homo sapiens sapiens), around 29 years of age, bearing distinctive features associated with low gravitational forces. He too was not found to bear any other anomalous features or abilities. Further information regarding his discovery by the Foundation and the following events is included on Interview Logs XXXX-1 and -2.

Discovery : SCP-XXXX was discovered in Hungary, when local children that played on the forest discovered the artifact, and tried to use it. During their attempts to activate it, they ended up teleporting the entire building they were in (Incident XXXX - 1). Local authorities alerted the foundation, which quarantined the area in fear of a reality wormhole. Foundation agents discovered the object in the center of the area, and it was taken to Site-09 for testing. During the tests, Foundation researchers were able to identify all of the device's components (refer to Site-09 SCP Preliminary Testing Log #253A for a full list of components) but were unable to identify its function. Attempts to remove the gemstone ended up in a similar event as incident - 1, and the loss of the entire Left Wing of Site-09, which was teleported away during testing of the device. After that, a new site was built, especially for the object's testing, designated Site-29. Research was halted 3 months later due to the researchers' inability to discover the machine's function,and as it had yet to demonstrate any anomalous effects besides Incident 1, the device was designated an Anomalous Item and placed in a standard containment chamber.

Incident Report XXXX-1

Foreword: The Incident is transferred here as shown from the security camera inside SCP-XXXX's containment chamber.
<Begin log>
00:12 The box opens , with no visible stimuli.
00:13 The device is shown emitting a strong white light. The containment breach alarm is heard outside the room.
00:15 The light is getting brighter. Five (5) guards enter the room.
00:16 The security camera malfunctions, and visual feed is temporarily lost. Security guards are heard calling for reinforcements.
00:16+2" Visual feed is restored. The device is once again non-operational. Two unknown individuals are standing in the room, and security personnel is seen pointing their weapons at them and forcing them to the floor. The security captain waves to the camera and feed is cut.

Closing statement: The intruders were escorted out of the room and to Security Sector, for secure interrogation.

Interview Log XXXX-1

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer: Designated researcher Dr. James █████ , Level 4

Foreword: The two individuals, designated SCP-XXXX-1 (human male, around 67 years old) and SCP-XXXX-2 (human male, around 29 years old), were escorted in a high-security interrogation room immediately after their manifestation inside Site-29. Head of Research Dr. James █████ was tasked by O5 Command to supervise the interrogation. O5-12 was dispatched on-site and was present during the interview.

<Begin Log>

Interviewer: Hello, I am Dr. James █████, I will be conducting this interrogation. I hope you realise that this is a necessary measure that needs to be taken, as you are trespasing a restricted area.

SCP-XXXX-2: We realise that your base is restricted. However, as we have already stated, we have no malevolent intentions.

Interviewer: That is understood. Now, could you describe how you arrived on our base?

SCP-XXXX-1: The organization which we represent detected the tansfer of the portal from its designated location to another. We used our universe's portal to access it and teleport to said location, that is, your base.

Interviewer: So, the device in our possesion is a teleporter machine?

SCP-XXXX-1: That is correct. To be more precise, it can be a teleporter machine if needed. Its primary function is interdimensional travel.

Interviewer: So you are coming from another dimension.

SCP-XXXX-1: That is correct. We two are coming from Universe 67.

SCP-XXXX-2: Now that our method of infiltration is understood, could we have our device back? As we already explained…

Interviewer: I understand, however, you will need to repeat it on-record.

SCP-XXXX-1: Very well. We represent the Guardians of Time, the organization that monitors and protects interdimensional travel, and ensures the dimensional security. We are here because you are currently in possesion of an artifact that bellongs to us, this galaxy's interdimensional portal.

SCP-XXXX-2: It must be returned to its original location, as if holded here agents from this universe cannot exit it, and the visitors of other universes cannot enter it. Is that all?

Interviewer: I believe that is enough for this first introductory interview, thank you. However, I am afraid that your artifact must be kept in our possesion for a while, until a series of further interviews is concluded. We will ensure that your stay here is pleasant .

SCP-XXXX-1: That is understood. However, we urge you to be fast.

Interviewer: Also, while you are here, could you write down for us the intructions on how to use the device? For archival purposes only, as the device will be returned to you post the interviews.

SCP-XXXX-1: (hesitating) I believe this can be done.

Interviewer: Thank you.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: O5-12 agreed to give permission for the guardians to stay on-site for until the interviews were concluded. All information given by SCP-XXXX-1 was added to the newly-filed Group of Interest Preliminary File #23DF "Guardians of Time".

+ Interview Log XXXX-2

Interview Log 2

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer: Dr. James █████

Foreword: A second interview was conducted 3 hours after the first one. O5 Command requested that Dr. James █████ finds out more information about the "Guardians of Time".

<Begin Log>

SCP-XXXX-1 hands out a paper of instructions as requested from Dr. James . SCP-XXXX-2 seems reluctant in sight of this exchange.

Interviewer: (to SCP-XXXX-1) Thank you.This time, I would like to ask you some questions about your organization, if that is okay with you.

SCP-XXXX-1: Of course.

Interviewer: Very well. You previously stated that your organization is securing interdimensional travels. Could I ask if you are stationed in a specific universe?

SCP-XXXX-1: The Guardians of Time consist of ten individuals of each universe. And I must state that the ones currently stationed in yours cannot exit it, as…

Interviewer: That has already been discused. Now, if you have agents in multiple universes, where do they all meet?

SCP-XXXX-1: Our current headquarters are located in what we believe is the center of all universes, designated Universe-1. And in its opposite, there exists Universe-0, a dimensional blackhole, in which all time bandits and anomalies are detained.

Interviewer: A dimensional blackhole?

SCP-XXXX-2: A place of suffering and pain. It is essentially a blackhole, just in the universal scale. Anything can enter it, and it is the place where all annihilated matter goes. However, nothing can exit it.

Interviewer: Very well. Now, to other matters. During testing, a base of ours got teleported away. Could you explain that?

(SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 show signs of distress)

SCP-XXXX-2: This must have been the device's failsafe. Did you try to remove the bawwaba1 ?

SCP-XXXX-1: The central gemstone.

Interviewer: Yes.

SCP-XXXX-2: Then your base is lost. It has been teleported to the blackhole. We are sorry, but we cannot return it.

Interviewer: That, is regretable. Very well, I believe that is all for today. Thank you for your cooperation.

SCP-XXXX-2: Could we now receive our device?

Interviewer: I am sorry, but this is not possible at the moment.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 showed signs of anger and distress after Dr James' statement and were removed from the room accompanied by two security officers.

+ Interview Log XXXX-3 and Notes

Interview Log 3

Foreword: The day following the interviews, SCP-XXXX-1 and -2 requested a talk with Dr. James █████ Dr James accepted and visited them on their rooms. Following their request, the interview was recorded and archived here.

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2

Interviewer (unofficial) :Dr. James █████

<Begin Log>

Interviewer: Okay, it's on. What is the matter?

SCP-XXXX-2: We would like to request our device to be returned to us. We finished your interviews, so now let us go.

Interviewer: I am sorry, SCP-XXXX-2, but this is impossible at this time. I am following my superiors' orders.

SCP-XXXX-2: You plan on keeping us here, don't you? Like a damn zoo, with the rest of your exhibits!

NOTE: Special Containment Site 29 does not contain any artifacts except for SCP-XXXX. It is unknown how SCP-XXXX-2 knew that there are more "exhibits" in Foundation custody.

Interviewer: No, we just cannot return you the device yet. We must make sure that it does not pose a danger to our universe, or…

SCP-XXXX-2: But that is OUR role, damn it! We are responsible for this! Who are you, to "make sure that it does not pose a threat"? (SCP-XXXX-2 mimics Dr James' voice in an ironical manner)

Interviewer: All right, I believe this interview is terminated…

SCP-XXXX-2: No it is not! If you do not let us out, the rest of us will come looking and they will liberate us whether you want it or not! And I assure you that this will not be done via black-site inteviews and gentle talks!

Interviewer: That could be considered a threat.

SCP-XXXX-2: Then consider it so! I am done here. (stands up and leaves the room)

SCP-XXXX-1: I must agree with my partner. This whole thing is out of hand. We came here to take what is rightfully ours, and we end up as prisoners.

Interviewer: We are not acting for ourselves. We are acting for our universe.

SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah, whatever. Listen…

Interviewer: There is nothing else to be discussed here, SCP-XXXX-1.

(Dr James stands up and proceeds to turn off the camera, implying the end of the interview. The following is heard on audio only)

SCP-XXXX-1: Wait! I should warn you….there is a reason we need you to return us the portal!

Intervewer: That has already been…

SCP-XXXX-1: (Shouting. Sound of metal is heard as SCP-XXXX-1 presumably tries to stand up from its chair) I am not refering to our agents! You….you should know that…we do not control every universe there is…and there is danger… (Dr James is heard siting back to his chair) Some universes contain evil,dangerous things…and if they step on to your universe they can wipe it out of existence..! You must let us handle this! There is a reason our organization exists, and it is exactly to protect others from these kind of beings! Please..

Interviewer: Thank you for your information. We will consider your warnings.

SCP-XXXX-1 is heard shouting before the recording is cut by Dr James

<End Log>

Note from O5-3 : The device must be kept locked until the Group of Interest (pending classification) "Guardians of Time" is further researched and determined to not be a threat. Additionally, in light of SCP-XXXX-1's warnings, a proper containment facility for SCP-XXXX must be constructed Immediately. If there is even a slight possibility these "things" exist and may just pop out of it one day, we cannot take the risk of them wiping us out of existence.

Note from Security Commander: SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 have been tranquilizer and locked in solitary confinement.

Incident report XXXX-2

Foreword: As SCP-XXXX-1 and XXXX-2 were transferred, unconcious, to their cells, a degrade in hume levels was observed around the facility. The following are transferred here as seen from the security camera inside SCP-XXXX's chamber.

<Begin Log>

12:23: The device starts emitting a white light, as in Incident XXXX-1. As security personnel are aware of the device's entity manifestation abilities, the site is put on Lockdown, and the breach alarm is heard ringing outside the room.
12:24: Camera malfunction occurs briefly for 2 seconds
12:24+2": 10 armed individuals are now present in the room. They are holding unknown weapons, and wear similar-loooking cyan suits. A surrender order is heard through the room's loudspeakers, but the team looks non-compliant. What looks as the team leader is seen speaking to the other subjects, presumably giving mission orders.
12:24+12": Tranquilizer gas is injected to the room via the integrated gas lines. The team is effectively tranquilized, and the individuals fall to the floor.
12:25: A team of 5 security guards enter the room and take away the bodies.
Note: The intruders (designated SCP-XXXX-3 to SCP-XXXX-13 were locked in separate detention cells and SCP-XXXX's containment chamber was put in lockdown.

Incident report XXXX-3:

A reality wormhole started manifesting above the site. Use of a Scranton Reality Megaanchor managed to halt its manifestation. However, upon inspection, the prisoners were found to be absent from their cells,presumably taken away by the wormhole.

Note from O5-1: The Guardians of Time have been designated a high-threat GOI. The device must be locked down in a specially designed facility, and Site-29 must be reinforced with newly-founded MTF Upsilon 4. An additional security team must always be ready to deal with possible Guardians of Time's attempts to steal the device, and countermeasures against its operation must be found. I hereby declare SCP-XXXX an O5 Object of Interest, and I will make sure that all the tests to discover countermeasures against its operation will be funded as needed. We will not, under any circumnstances, allow the "evil things" the bastard SCP-XXXX-1 mentioned step on to our world. The door to our universe must be shut.

Testing Log XXXX-1

DATE	LOCATION "TO TELEPORT"	TELEPORTATION	NOTES BY DR JAMES
2/1	Bunker, buried 20 meters underground, made of reinforced concrete with no doors or other openings	Achieved	Okay, so physical barriers do not affect the process. We will find something else.
9/1	Testing chamber 2B, fitted with a Scranton Reality Anchor	Achieved, with a 10 second delay	That might be something! We must however use more SRAs, just to be sure.
16/1	Testing chamber 2B, fitted with 10 SRAs, set to "full capacity"	Partially achieved, as the D-class being teleported was severed in two, with his upper half manifesting on chamber 2B and his lower remaining on SCP-XXXX's chamber	That's it! Maybe with some more SRAs, we will manage to completely prevent the traveller from manifesting!
25/1	Testing chamber 2B, fitted with 20 SRAs	Same as previous experiment	Okay, he is still manifesting, albeit severed in half…Consider this a success?
1/2	Testing chamber 2B, fitted with 10 arrays of 20 SRAs each	Same as above	So..more SRAs won't do the trick. SCP cross-testing has been forbidden..so I guess we are kinda stuck. I propose to keep the containment chamber full of SRAs for the moment, so that we at least cripple anything that comes across…and then we will see.

NOTICE TO ALL LEVEL 3 AND ABOVE PERSONNEL FROM O5-1

It seems that, as for now, there are no means of completely preventing SCP-XXXX's abilities. That means, the gate is open for anything to come through. Site-29 will be given an additional 2 squads of security personnel, and all Sites, Areas and Facilities must be ready to immediately respond to any call for help from it.
To every man and woman in the Foundation, whether you are a Researcher looking for a way to close the gates, an agent protecting us from the horrors behind them or a janitor cleaning away the mess, I say this: we have been, up until now, this universe's protectors. Now, we must stand ready to act as its gatekeepers.

Joke idea:the Cartoon Man

still on the Forum

A litteral cartoon man. More info incoming.
Object class: Jumpscare
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be contained on a standard Level 2 humanoid containment room. He is to be provided with a bed, two (2) pillows, and a blanket. All other requested items must be approved by the Ethics Comitee and must not appear in any Reddit theory tagged with "cartoon" and "killer". NOTE All requested items related to the popular Scooby-Doo character Shaggy are to be denied.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 34 year old human caucasian male. His body is outlined by a thick black line, measured in 0,0023 mm in width. This line seems connected to his body, and it changes its position according to how the subject's body moves.
SCP-XXXX demonstrates various anomalous abilities. These are:

• SCP-XXXX is completely invincible to any and all forms of damage. However, it displays different reactions to different forms of attack.
• - when shot at, a hole will open on the spot where it was shot. The hole does not affect the subject in any way, nor does it cause any disturbance to his vital functions, regardless of the spot which was shot. The hole dissapears 10 minutes later, when line of sight is broken.
• - when present in an explosion, regardless of its severity, it will come out unaffected and with no damage. It will always, however, appear very dusted, and with its hair raised in the air. The dust dissapears 10 minutes later, when line of sight is broken.
• - when being hit by a melee weapon such as a crowbar, a pike, a stick etc., bandages will appear on the spots where it was hit. Scars may also appear, but always in a stylized # form. The latter's position does not seem to be affected by the spot which was hit.
• SCP-XXXX displays various physical reactions to different emotions. When angry, it turns red in color, though not by natural blood flow increase, and clouds of white or occasionally black smoke appear on the air around its head. Their behavior is typical of rain clouds, and sometimes lightning appears out of them. When surprised, its eyes pop out of their sockets, though this does not appear to cause it any harm.
• SCP-XXXX seems to be able to slightly affect reality around it. It has been observed to cause normally accurate guards to repeatedly miss it when shooting it, various random incidents seem to have a +78% chance to happen to it, like objects falling apart when it walks near them, elevators malfunction, etc.

>No XXXX influence detected. Opening file

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX instances cannot at the moment be intercepted, destroyed,or otherwise prevented from completing their mission by any known means. Containment efforts should focus on misinformation campaigns to prevent the public from discovering SCP-XXXX's existence, and on the capture and effective containment of all SCP-XXXX-1 instances as soon as possible before their according Funkton Event. All visal, audio, or other similar recordings of a Funkton Event are to be confiscated and all witnesses are to be administered Class A amnestics. An appropriate cover story is to be released to the press after each uncontained Funkton Event, or in the case of a large-scale event, a direct communication with the affected nation's goverment is to be made in order to create an officialy supported cover story. Uncontained SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be handled only by MTF Upsilon-12 "Superhunters", which is appropriately trained to handle them.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation given to the S-PUmOs¹that arrive on Earth every 2 months from a galaxy located approximately ████,██ light years away from the Milky Way, in the direction of the ████ Nebula. The aforementioned galaxy has at least three populated planets, at least one of which is populated by sentient, highly-intelligent lifeforms² Retrieved information³ suggests that the planet is an exact duplicate of Earth, bearing the exact same size, atmospheric substance, distance from its star, etc. as Earth.
SCP-XXXXs are propelled by a complex engine system, capable of reaching speeds up to 190.000 km/h. They are made of a multi-ingredient metal alloy, whose ingredients include titanium, iron, and an unknown metal of bright white color, which leaves them effectively unaffected from standard Foundation space missiles and laser systems.
Upon entering the Earth's atmosphere, SCP-XXXX will begin its mission :
An integrated baffler system will begin projecting a strong electromagnetic pulse that makes SCP-XXXX invisible to all radar detection systems. After that, the craft will land on a preferably wooded area. After landing, SCP-XXXX will bury itself on the ground using integrated multi-tasking robotic arms, and close its outer shell, which has an unmeasurably high Vickers hardness and has proven immune to damage by cutting, burning, lasers, corrosive acids and similar substances, as well as missiles and sustained arms fire. It will then proceed to activate its main feature, an electromagnetic beacon, with a maximum range of 20km. The beacon is using an as of yet unidentified radio wave, capable of integrating itself on human subjects' thoughts, and via an as of yet unknown procedure input a "programming" on them. It will only however target children under the age of 7. After affecting a target, which will from now on be designated SCP-XXXX-1, the beacon will deactivate and the craft will completely power down, deactivating and in some rare cases, self-destructing⁴.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances are physically identical to normal human children of their respective age. The only known way of identifying them is via long-term REM sleep patterns observation, as SCP-XXXX-1 instances demonstrate a completely identical REM sleep pattern with one another⁵. SCP-XXXX-1 instances demonstrate a completely normal behavior, up until roughly the age of 10 years.
When an SCP-XXXX-1 instance reaches the 10th year of its age, a significant change in its behavior will occur. Subjects will be more aggressive, they will be easier irritated, and will be more likely to respond with physical violence to any provocation. This is considered the first stage of the Funkton Event.
The second stage of the Event begins exactly one week after the subject's birthday. Subjects' DNA exhibits a very sudden mutation cycle. Subject mutations include:

• Significantly higher strength than that of a human being, reaching and, in some cases, exceeding a maximum power output of 2000 Newtons.
• Partial invincibility against bullets, explosions, melee damage and physical damage⁶
• The ability to fly, although this ability has never be shown to be the typical means of SCP-XXXX-1's transportation and subjects only use this as a defence mechanism against attackers
• Some subjects also demonstrate the ability to affect radio communications, causing a phenomenon of "radio lagging" in a range of 16 meters around them. This effect is usually associated with self-destructing SCP-XXXX instances.

After the course of the week, the subject will be in the complete control of SCP-XXXX's programming. SCP-XXXX-1 instances seem to have their memories erased, and they no longer react to familiar individuals such as family and friends. SCP-XXXX-1 instances at this state should be considered Class A Hostile Entities. They will actively try to attack anyone they encounter, being however able to hide their programming and abilities long enough to plan and execute a large-scale attack against a metropolitan area, or another settlement in their location. Because of their significant mutations, SCP-XXXX-1 instances are very difficult to contain, and require the equivalent of 10 infantry squads to be controlled and terminated.

NOTE FROM RESEARCHER JONES : As SCP-XXXX-1 instances pose a direct and immediate danger to all human life in their location, we should attempt to discover affected subjects and cure them before their Funkton Event. Observation of neurological institutes for child patients demonstrating aggressive sociopathic behavior should be conducted at least once a month, and if a patient matches the REM sleep pattern prototype we have, they should immediately be contained and Procedure Nintux-L should be enacted.

Abbendum A-Testing Log XXXX-1

Purpose of the experiment: To reverse-engineer the components of a retrieved SCP-XXX craft, to examine the radiowave beacon, and to determine its function, so as to create a cure for its effects.

Researcher:Dr. James █████

Procedure: SCP-XXXX was disassembled, with each individual component's description, analysis, and place within SCP-XXXX being separately noted. The following components were deemed to be of importance:

• A metallic disc, 10 mm thick and with a diameter of 25cm. It was deemed to be the craft's main computer core, and it was connected to a specially designed Foundation computer [NOTE FROM AUTHOR:I will connect this to one of the anomalous skip computers on the mainlist]. The retrieved data was revealed to be a short, ID-like description of SCP-XXXX's planet of origin and its people's culture. It also contained a message in 189 different languages, most of them alien in origin and itranscribable, but two of them being latin and ancient arabian.

• A 60cm long cylinder made of the same unknown metal as SCP-XXXX's outer shell. Because of its very high durability, the item was sent to Anomalous Testing Lab 78-BBN to be copied and utilized in Foundation armored vehicles.

• SCP-XXXX's radiowave beacon. The item's research was declared Aplha priority and Dr James █████ was ordered to begin extensive analysis of the item's radiowaves so as to be able to develop a cure to stop SCP-XXXX-1 instances' mutations before they reach a Funkton Event.

Results: Dr James managed to effctively recreate the beacon's radiowaves, and reverse their effects. The resulting beacon was classified as SCP-XXXX-2 and sent to MTF Upsilon-12 to be used during Nintux-L procedures.

No, we don't come in peace.

We come to conquer.

And your children will fight this war for us.

A short article about the role music is playing in our lives, and the fact that even the smallest events in our life can affect the big picture, just as a single note can change an entire music piece.

SCP-XXXX at the location of its discovery

Object class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept in a standard large item containment chamber. All research, security, or maintenance personnel willing to enter the chamber must undergo a full psychological analysis before entering to ensure that no traumatic events or family maltreatment occured during their childhood.
SCP-XXXX-1 must be kept in a standard anomalous object storage box. Access to SCP-XXXX-1 is to be restricted to Level 3/C0 researchers and only for the duration of the testing.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a black Bösendorfer concert grand piano. Its anomalous effects manifest when any music is played on it. The user, herein designated SCP-XXXX-A, will experience different effects according to what key he is playing:

• Low-note keys will cause SCP-XXXX-A to re-live moments they consider to be particularly traumatic or embarrassing
• High-note keys will cause SCP-XXXX-A to re-live moments they consider to be happy, such as time they spent with a friend, a success or a special present they received
• Black keys possess the ability to alter a subject's memories. When a high-note one is played, SCP-XXXX-A's memories of their childhood will change in a positive manner, while when a low-note one is played SCP-XXXX-A's memories will be affected in a negative way. It should be noted that this does not actually change the memories themselves, but rather the way SCP-XXXX-A perceives them.⁷

It should be noted that playing any single key will not cause these effects to manifest. In order for them to be activated, SCP-XXXX-A must play a specific melody⁸ .

SCP-XXXX-1 is a white envelope with the words "My Music" written on its front side. It contains 34 music sheets, all of which had piano pieces written on them. 12 of the pieces were unknown to Foundation music specialists, while the other 22 were famous music pieces such as Beethoven's Ode to Joy. All of the sheets have been marked as "Property of James Simons" with a red permanent marker.

Addendum A-Testing Log XXXX-1

Foreword: As it was initially theorized that the only pieces capable of activating SCP-XXXX were the 12 unknown ones, D-class subjects were instructed to seat at the piano and play them one by one. The results were as follows:

Piece #1
Subject: D-1258
D-1258 is a 23-year old Caucasian male, convicted of multiple violent crimes including assault and rape. His background analysis revealed expulsions from 3 different school establishments for violent behavior against his classmates, as well as difficult family conditions, his father being an alcoholic and his mother being addicted to cocaine.

When playing SCP-XXXX, D-1258 reported watching himself in his high school courtyard, being bullied by the "tall guy", with noticeable tears flowing while he played. He then reported, presumably hallucinating, to be playing a game of football with his friends, before starting to repeat the phrases "Jake, it was not my fault. I did not beat him" and "You son of a bitch". He then punched SCP-XXXX with great force, while shouting "that is for [intranscribable]" (SCP-XXXX did strangely take no damage from this). For approximately five minutes after this incident, he stopped playing, as he was holding his hands together in front of his body, as if he was handcuffed, and he started whispering "But I didn't mean to cause any harm…Please sir, I want to go home…I will be a good boy". Finally, he finished the piece, playing the final part very quickly and angrily hitting the keys, while shouting "Number Fourty-Six, reporting for duty, Sir!"

When the piece was over, he kept breathing heavily for a couple of minutes, while his expression changed from anger to a slight calmness. In the follow-up interview, he reported to researchers that he felt "relieved" and "having finally understood it". He later described that, while the memories he witnessed were very disturbing to him, "the piano made me understand that it was my fault from the very beginning". One month later he was relieved of his D-class duties and he offered a voluntary service to his home city, ultimately being emancipated 2 years later.

Piece #7
Subject:D-1409
D-1409 is a 21 year old Caucasian male, convicted to short-term imprisonment for pickpocketing and vandalism of public property which he committed with his unarrested friend Jamie Lanows. When playing the piece, a 23-minute long anthem, he started talking to "Jai", laughing and "sharing secrets", while also "spray-painting" with his left hand (conveniently, the piece at this point only required one hand to play). He then started playing faster, reporting to be "running away" and shouting "Run Jai!" and "I am here, buddy! No worries!" At the 10 minute mark, his laughing started to cease, finishing a sentence mid-word "don't you worry Jai bud-", and at about the 22nd minute mark he started to cry.

When the piece was over, he seemed confused and distracted, reporting to researchers that "I thought he was my friend". He remained confused for the rest of the follow-up interview, not being able to explain how his feelings towards Jai changed during the course of the song, and he was transferred to Site 07 for a medical examination. This solidified the speculation that SCP-XXXX is fully capable of altering subjects' perception of their memories.

[pieces 8-12 removed for brevity]

The subjects were then instructed to play the known pieces, starting with Beethoven 's Ode to Joy.

Piece #12/Ludwig Van Beethoven's Ode to Joy
The Head of Research wished to find out the result of pieces written with a specific feeling in mind. D-4480, a 30 year old Caucasian male convicted of embezzlement of company money, reported to feel "strangely happy", for the duration of the piece, going as far as to start happily laughing towards the middle of it, repeating multiple times "This worked exactly as planned". After that, his expression changed to a mild annoyance, and he started repeating the phrases "Come on Sarah, we had something but it is now over" and "Don't you continue with this! I am RICH now, our affair has ended". He then continued laughing and commenting his wealth, until the end of the piece,at which point a loud police siren was heard in the room, apparently coming from SCP-XXXX. The siren lasted for 2-3 seconds, before abruptly stopping.

Despite the overall happy reaction he had to his memories, when the piece was over, D-4480 immediately fell to the floor crying. When asked what happened, he explained that he had "just now realized that my whole life up to now was just a huge mistake". It is unknown if in this case SCP-XXXX altered the perception of a specific childhood memory, or of the subject's whole life, although researchers tend to the second option because of the nature of the subject's memories which mostly involved his adult life.

Piece #32/Chopin's Funeral March
D-856 is a 20 year old Caucasian male, convicted for unstable violent behavior against multiple victims. His background analysis revealed a very difficult childhood, having lost his aunt and uncle in a car crash and his father 2 years later.

He started screaming at the begining of the piece, shouting "take them away", while at the same time moving his feet uncontrollably as if he was running. His anxiety continued to escalate, with his pulse drastically rising to more than 160 beats per minute. At the piece's crescendo, D-856's brainwave patterns were observed to drastically change from normal Beta waves (measured at the beginning of the test to 35 Hz) to Gamma waves⁹, reaching a dangerous level of 104 Hz. D-856 started to scream "Take them away, please, oh no, tell them to fucking STOP PLAYING!"

When the piece was over, he dropped on the floor unconscious immediately after playing the final note, a very low A. He was hospitalized for 3 months, during which time all research of SCP-XXXX was postponed. After fully recovering, he explained to researchers that he witnessed all 3 of his relatives' deaths, while at the same time hearing the bands that played the March in each of his relatives' funerals playing aloud. He strongly denied hearing the piano itself playing during this, and instead insisted on his stating of hearing the three different bands, although he informed personnel that he was not present in neither of the funerals.
It should be noted that the subject's description matches the existing records of said bands. Further research pending.

The Mortician (Tale)

It was a hot summer day at the small town of Knotville. The desert looked as if it was melting under the burning sun, and the desert animals had already made their way deep underground into their holes.

The villagers, a mixture of cowboys, farmers, cattlemen and the occasional slackers, were peaceful people. Their lonely life in the middle of the desert had made them tough, but supporting to each other, and the little community, lead by the town priest, was getting along just great. However, the priest himself wouldn't necessarily say so, as the townsfolk rarely visited the church, always having something "more important" to do. All except old Koy, the priest's favorite and one of the town's founders, back at the glory days of the Gold Fever.

That Sunday, however, it was the anniversary of the town's founding, and so the church was filled with much more people that usual. The "rich" cattlemen (well, compared to the others, at least) with their "formal dresses", the town idiots with the crosses at their hands, the town ladies, finding the chance to make themselves known to the town's male population. Only old Koy was missing, strangely enough.
The priest was in the middle of the traditional description of the" good old days", and almost everyone had fallen asleep, when the door opened with a loud clank, which was heard loud as a gunshot through the church. The priest looked at the door, surprised by this violent interruption, and there, standing like a shadow with the sunlight on his back, stood old Koy.

The townsfolk turned around, watching with surprise as Koy made his way to the podium and whispered some words to the priest. He then turned to the congregation of the villagers.

"A man has come", he announced, his voice trembling and shaking.

The villagers did not understand why his hands shook so fiercely, and his lips quivered, as he spoke.

But Koy knew. He knew that there were times, when the crows flew too low, and when the sky turned too black, that a man would appear out of the desert and with him, terrible things would come and strike the poor villages he visited. And he knew that this special time, the town anniversary, would be the excellent occasion for this desert devil to come. He had spent the entire morning on the town's outskirts, looking at the desert wilderness, until he saw the black horse appear out of the dust, with the vultures flying low. And with it, his worst nightmares appeared too.

So when he spoke, he spoke with confidence. And his words were remembered by many of those who still, at this day, use to tell this story to their grandchildren on the long, endless winter nights.

"Go to your homes. Lock your children in their rooms! And wait, for 'till tomorrow, a man 's gonna pay the price of this village's sins!"

---

I still remember his voice. I was standing in the first row of seats, next to Ms. Herrs, but I heard his words clearly. He spoke with confidence, as if he was sure of what he was talking about, but we didn't understand. No, at the time, we just laughed. Some old folks felt uneasy, but it was about it. The priest took Koy and walked him to the door, whispering prayers along the way, and nodding to those who stood up to help. I turned to Ms. Herrs and I said a joke about the "Gold Fever" or something like that, and we then watched from the door, as Koy descended the hill down to the village, and stopped in front of the bar, turning back to look at us.

It was at that time, when I noticed that indeed, a man had came. I didn't catch his face, but he was standing in the middle of the road, on top of a black horse, looking directly to the church. Before I could see him closer, however, the priest shut the doors, and he returned to the podium.

"Brother Koy was feeling uneasy, my children. We all know that he was here before we were born, and his age gives him the privilege of being a bit rude. Please, do not bother him. Let him be in peace."

Well, the rest of the service went normally. When it ended, we all descended the hill, slowly, talking with each other and commenting on Koy's behavior. The flow of people slowly arrived at the road, and there, next to the town well, stood the man.

He was dressed in a black suit and black pants, and wearing a long black hat. His face was hidden, as he was standing in front of the blinding sun, and his shadow on the ground…
Perhaps it was just a hallucination, but I thought I looked at an angel 's shadow….
The moment was soon over. We walked past him, going to our businesses and talking about today' s news.

But Koy hadn't said his last word. As I entered the bar, I heard a loud voice, and I turned around, to see Koy running to the stranger with a pitchfork in his hands. A burning passion was drawn in his face, as he lifted the pitchfork to the stranger's head.

Jonny and Dan ran to Koy, grabbing him from his shoulders before he reached the man. They threw him on the ground, taking away the pitchfork as Koy tried to resist. "Jesus Christ Koy what the heck is wrong with ya?" shouted Dan. "Get a hold on yourself man!" said Jonny, throwing away the pitchfork to grab the still struggling Koy. The priest arrived, running down the hill from the church, and pushed the guys back. He then took Koy's hand, and whispered something to his ear, at which point Koy stopped struggling and stood up, looking frightened at the man. The priest walked with him to the church, with Koy turning, always looking at the stranger, with an expression of fear still visible from up the hill.

We turned to the man to apologize for Koy, and it was then when I noticed. During the whole incident, he did not move at all. He just stood there, looking at the struggling Koy, like he was studying him. Even now, he just looked at me while I walked to him. "I am sorry my friend… Ol'Koy is outta his mind lately, he didn't mean any harm… You okay?" The man nodded, smiling a bit, and then turned to look at the church. He kept looking, as we walked away.

-Wassup with Koy lately? Dan asked, rubbing his shoulder which was injured during the fight.
-Well, I think the stranger is scaring him. To say the truth, he is scaring me too a bit, I replied. He doesn't move, he doesn't speak…. why is he even here?
-None of our business, said Jonny, always the wise one. Let's go have a drink, he added, and we all went inside the bar. As I was entering, I turned to look at the man.
He was smiling.

The man stood there for the rest of the day, seated on top of the town well, and looking at the church, occasionally breaking his sight to turn to a passing villager, following them with his glance until they were away. It was like he was studying us all, trying to figure out something…his presence ever-felt even when we were away on the fields. I am sure that none slept that night, the man's presence feeling like a dark cloud had descended on top of our town. And even while we didn't talk about it, we all knew that something was wrong with the man.

The next day, we gathered at the church, much more than usually. Some old folks had even brought some old crosses, their parents' heritage. We greeted each other as always, we did not say a thing about the anxiety we all felt, and we damn sure didn't mention the vulture that was standing on top of the church cross. When I asked a normally not frequent visitor of the church why he was here, the response was something about his mother's death but I swear to God that his glance fell to the well downhill. Old Koy was also in the church, sitting in the first line of seats. He had spent the night at the church, praying, and talking with the priest. He now looked sure of himself, nodding every time we talked to him, asking how he was, and replying "you 'll see".

The priest didn't talk too much. His speech, however, held a special meaning for us. He talked of the Angel of Death, his dark presence above the damned Sodom and Gomorrah, and the people' s inevitable demise. He spoke of the God's punishments, and of the humans who are always responsible for His wrath. And he spoke of the cleansing we must do to our hearts and souls, for God's wrath is ever lasting.
One could say that it was just the normal church speech, a random example of the good Christian life. But we all knew what he was talking about.

We left the church troubled. Everyone kept their sights to the ground, none looking at the road, nor at the well, nor at the stranger, who was now clearly smiling, his head standing up and examining each and every one of us. We went to our homes, and we locked the doors. We didn't say anything; we just locked them, and planked the windows. I heard the sound coming from every house in the road. And I knew that the stranger had damned us all.

The night was long, and difficult. The man's look buried deep in our hearts, his smothering presence floating above the village. I prayed to God, I asked for forgiveness for my sins, and I prayed for our village. I didn't sleep at all.

The next day, the sun didn't come up. Or if it did, we never knew it, for a dark cloud had covered the sky. I would swear that we never had that many vultures on the village, but today the place was full of them. It was so strange, listening to their cries, as they gathered above the homes and the roads…
… and the well…
… and the church…
… and our hearts…

I heard a cry out in the road. A man was shouting.

"Everyone get out! Get the hell out!"

I looked out the planked window, and I saw old Koy, welding a torch, and moving his hands on the air.

"Follow me! Let us end this nightmare!"

He walked up the hill to church. I unlocked the door and I ran to him, followed more and more villagers, who carried torches, crosses, and more bizzare items. We all walked together up the hill, and rushed inside the church, where the priest was waiting up on the podium, next to Koy.

"Fellows! God's wrath has fallen upon our village!" he shouted, spitting out each word as he spoke. "Abaddon, the Angel of Death, is here and we all know it!"

Whispers started to be heard around the church. Out of nowhere, a skarp knife appeared on a man's hand, pitchforks were raised in the air, the cling of metal declared a quiet war… against whom?

"To cleanse our town from his presence, we must cleanse our souls from evil!" the priest shouted. And then Koy stepped in, and pushed him away.
"No, fellas! To cleanse our town from his presence, we must cleanse his presence out of the town!" Confusing as his words may be, they sounded crystal clear to us at the time.
"Raise your weapons, brothers, and follow me to the end of this nightmare!"

We ran out of the church like a flooding river out of its banks. With our knives and pitchforks raised, we ran down towards the road, towards the well and the man, the man whose identity we all now knew…

The man whom we all had just looked in the eyes.

We ran, faster than ever before, and he just stood there, looking at us with the same damn smile on his face - on its face -, and I raised my pitchfork to his head ready to deliver the killing blow…

… when the priest appeared, out of nowhere, and stepped in front of the man. My hands stopped in the air, the killing blow delayed by the look in the priest's face…

He turned his face to the crowd, to the raised knives and weapons, to the angry faces… "You shall not touch a messenger of the skies, will you, my brothers?" he said, gently whispering each word. "Not one who carries the sign of our sins, and of the cleansing we must carry…"

While he was saying these words, I looked to the stranger. I realized in shock that he had raised three fingers, then he put the one down, then the other…

And then the priest's forehead disappeared with a bright flash of metal and a swoosh in the air. I didn't hear my own scream, as it was silenced by the louder, wild scream Koy left, killing his till-today idol and father figure.
He put down his knife, as the old man's body fell to the ground with a loud thudd. Then he turned to us, as a murmur started getting louder and louder, coming from the crowd, which stood there petrified in fear.
He then raised his hand again, to the stranger, who was still looking at the dead priest with an expression of gentle interest in his face, but before he could hit him, a loud whoosh was heard and a pitchfork hit him too.

I looked in shock, as Jonny kept hitting Koy with his pitchfork, finishing him off, while screaming words of accusation. I looked in terror, as Jonny threw away the pitchfork, and put his hand on his chest, with an expression of pain in his face, and then fell next to the priest. And I looked in horror, as one by one the villagers started falling to the ground, crying, screaming and shaking uncontrollably. What the hell was happening? I wondered, before I felt the same sudden feeling, a terrible feeling of unhelpfulness, of loss of hope… I felt like I had just glanced Death in the eyes….
The last thing I saw before I fell was the man's face.
He was still smiling.

---

The Mortician stood up from the old well. His back hurt, he never liked sitting still for so much time. He sighed, and pulled out his shovel from the bag at the side of his horse.

Quietly whistling, he passed next to the sobbing and unconscious townsfolk, and grabbed the three dead bodies. He threw them to the back of his horse, and he jumped on it too.

He didn't give a second look to the town. He whipped his horse, and left to the direction of the graveyard.

The vultures were already gathering above him…

SCP-XXXX (picture taken during initial containment operation)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be kept in a lead-coated¹⁰ high security humanoid containment cell, equipped with a CCTV system. The cell must be built with an adjacent observation room, which must be staffed with five D-class personnel at all times.

Once every month, SCP-XXXX will enter a Shâchath¹¹ Event. Under no circumstances are any members of personnel allowed inside SCP-XXXX's Containment Zone while the Event is taking place, and Site-24 is to be placed in quarantine for the duration of the Event. Immediately after the Event concludes, an archbishop, ordained and believing in an Abrahamic faith, must conduct a blessing of the Containment Zone in accordance with the religious ceremony established in Document 45D, and a follow-up team is to properly dispose of the D-class bodies. Any survivors are to undergo a psychological evaluation and to be granted any requests for a session with a priest of any religion.

Under no circumstances are personnel allowed to discuss about, show images of, or otherwise mention the entity known as the Scarlet King inside SCP-XXXX's containment zone. If such an incident occurs, the zone is to be placed in quarantine, Protocol Maweth is to be enacted and the O5 Council is to be notified within 3 minutes from the eventual containment breach. No security team is to engage SCP-XXXX, and re-containment efforts are to be focused on the preservation of civilian life. When SCP-XXXX returns to its cell, the zone is to be sealed for 33 hours, after which time the Maweth protocol expires and personnel are free to re-enter the zone safely.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity closely resembling an elderly human male, although its body appears particularly disfigured, bearing distinctive fire burn marks on its face and back. It appears to be wearing a black bowler hat, although analysis has shown that it is actually a chitin-like substance growing out of the entity's skull.

When not engaged in a Shâchath Event, SCP-XXXX does not display any noticeable anomalous effects. Video surveillance from inside its containment cell shows that it spends most of the day sitting on its bed, looking to the western wall of the cell¹². It has also been recorded to try and remove its hat, although the procedure seems to cause it significant physical pain.

Once every 33 days, SCP-XXXX will enter a Shâchath Event. The beginning of this Event is marked by an increase in SCP-XXXX's movements, and by distinctive vocalizations, whose voiceprint matches SCP-738-3's voice. While the Event is occurring, subjects within a 200 meter radius of the entity will report feeling "guilty" and "afraid". The way in which those subjects are affected seems to depend on multiple factors, including, but not limited to: distance from its location, number of subjects present, religious beliefs. Upon detailed interrogations, subjects will report that they have remembered a questionable act¹³ and that the time has come for them to be punished. Reports on the way they "will be punished" greatly vary between subjects, and heavily depend on their religious beliefs, with religious subjects reporting that their particular deity will punish them, and atheists reporting that "someone" will find them and "take revenge", although subjects appear unable to elaborate beyond this point.

One hour after the Event's activation, SCP-XXXX will attempt to break containment, demonstrating extraordinary physical force in its attempts to do so. If successful, it will start heading towards the closest of the affected subjects, or groups of subjects, surpassing all physical obstacles on its way to them, by either avoiding or destroying them. Upon reaching the subjects' location, subjects will appear agitated and nervous, reporting that the previously mentioned feelings of guilt have escalated, and attributing this to SCP-XXXX, which they describe as the one who will punish them. Subjects do not show any signs of distress by SCP-XXXX's physical presence, even in extreme cases, such as SCP-XXXX breaking into their location using brute force.

As the Event progresses, SCP-XXXX will stand still near the subjects, who, strangely, do not attempt to flee the area, even when instructed to do so. The subjects will then start accusing each other of being the reason for SCP-XXXX's visit, and attempting to point out a member of the group more worthy of punishment than they are. The subjects will eventually come to the conclusion that they "will not be the one to die", and they will start fighting, using any tools and weapons at their disposal in order to do so. Previously established relationships between the subjects do not seem to affect the fight, and subjects will attack loved ones or friends as well as strangers. The fight will eventually be concluded when either all of the subjects are dead, or when only one survivor remains. SCP-XXXX will then collect the bodies, and it will proceed to bury them at the place of their death, using a shovel which always seems to be present at the location (see Addendum A), being able to dig through any material, including reinforced concrete. It will shake the survivor's hand (provided that there indeed is a survivor), before returning to its provided habitat (in this case, Site-24).

Addendum A - Test Log

Item: SCP-XXXX

Foreword: D-1409 and D-1452 are in a specially prepared outdoors testing site in the ████ Hills. The subjects are stationed on a 7x7m area padded with reinforced concrete, and a lead-lined camouflaged Foundation mobile command unit fitted with surveillance equipment is stationed nearby. They have all been outfitted with biometric devices that transmit a live feed of their vital signs to the command unit.

<Begin Log>

-60:00 Word arrives from Site-xx that the Shâchath Event has started. Security personnel have been instructed to allow SCP-XXXX to escape undisturbed.

00:00 SCP-XXXX has successfully breached containment from Site-xx and is spotted on the ██th Highway, heading towards the testing site. The highway and the surrounding grounds have been sealed off from the public according to Protocol 096 and as such there are no other witnesses or possible target groups.

+14:00 D-1409 contacts the supervising researchers; the transcript of the call is logged below:
D-1409: Um…. Command? Is there anything wrong… any shit going on?

Command: Such as?

D-1409: I dunno, any SCP object on the loose? I feel weird and that's not a good sign in this work environment.

(D-1456 laughs nervously)

Command: No, D-1409, there is no SCP object in your location.

D-1452: Then why are we here? I feel weird too, what's going on?

Command: Please elaborate on what you're feeling.

D-1409: Uh… yeah….I'd rather not…it's… traumatic.

Command: D-1409, answer the question. Describe your experience.

D-1409: All right, all right, don't get mad. See…I used to be a little bastard, y'know, like I was pickpocketing and blowing some stores and stuff. I used to have many friends there, but over the time I ended up with my brother, Jai. Well, brother, as in "good friend", y'know…

Command: Continue. What was the event you remembered?

D-1409: Okay, yeah. And one day, we were wandering around in a good neighborhood, like with big houses and rich people and all those things, and a house was open. The door was open, there was none around, and none inside. And Jai went in, while I was looking out for any cops. And… after a minute or so, he, like, came out screaming, and he said that there was a dead body… And then we heard sirens, and I told him to leave, but he said that the vault inside the living room was open and the was a lot of money inside, and he went back inside…

(Note : D-1409's pulse was drastically increasing at this point)

and I told him to fucking run, man! But he wouldn't listen! He… He…. stayed inside, and he was gathering the money… I told him he was a stupid son of a bitch and that he should run, NOW, but….(to D-1456) DON'T YOU TOUCH ME! And… that was it. I ran away, and I later heard that he was in prison. When he was… how do you…

Command: Emancipated?

D-1409: Yeah, that. When he was emanipated, I was already arrested for selling drugs… and yeah, you know the rest. I (visible confusion) I really have no idea why I… remember this… like, super clear! And man… I feel bad. But….I couldn't stay there, the place was… God…

Command: Can you elaborate, please? What exactly are your feelings in regard to this event?

D-1409: I… seriously don't know. But I feel… very bad. Like something is going to… like God is going to punish me… What the hell am I saying. See, command, I don't… I don't know, okay?

Command: Understood. D-1452?

D-1452: Yeah, I remembered something too. My girlfriend used to be a babysitter, ya know? And one day she like asked me to take care of a baby, she had to go somewhere, I dunno. And I got bored, eventually, you know, it's not easy taking care of a small tiny thingy that keeps crying all the time!

Command: Understood. Please continue.

D-1452: Yeah…. what I was saying? Yes. So I like left the house, just for a second, Tach was outside and he wanted to tell me something. Next thing I know, the baby is on the floor crying, and its head is bleeding… I panicked man, I didn't know what the hell was going on! Turned out it was just a scratch, but I still feel bad… and perhaps some day I gotta pay that off…

Command: What do you mean by "pay that off"?

D-1452: No idea. It just… Well, I can't explain it. I don't believe in God, like that bastard over there, but… I feel like something will happen. You know, like when there's someone looking at ya and you feel it without watching him… that's the thing. I feel like… something.

Command: Understood. We will contact you in a minute.

+20:00 SCP-XXXX arrives at the testing site.

+22:00
D-1409: Um, Command, come in. There's a really creepy dude sitting out here, under that tree…. and I really don't like him. Could we return to base?

Command: Could you elaborate? What is wrong with him?

D-1409: All right, he really looks like that Papa Torreon…. God that's weird. He looks like the boss me and Jai used to give the… Oh no…. he must be here to…. me…. I really…

Command: D-1409, please explain.

D-1409: He is here to punish me…. Really! Jai must've told him…. but I am already punished! I was in prison, and now in hell… no offense but…God, send someone down here, he will…. me… [REDACTED]

Command: You are perfectly safe, 1409. 1456, do you recognize this individual?

D-1456: I… (confused)… that's impossible! (whispers) It's the baby's father… the baby that I hurt back then…. what the actual fuck? It's…what the heck [REDACTED]

Note: Analysis of the video recording shows that SCP-XXXX did at no point physically change its appearence

Command: There is no reason to send a security team. You are all perfectly safe. The man is probably just a wanderer. We will contact you again in a minute.

NOTE: The researchers at the mobile command unit have been ordered to not attempt to force any interviews from the subjects, as this has been observed to disturb SCP-XXXX's effects. The reason for this is currently unknown but it seems to be because of [REDACTED - See Addendum B]

+30:00 D-1409 is seen screaming. He smashes his radio on the ground, and he turns around to look at SCP-XXXX, who seems to smile at him. D-1456 places his hand on D-1409's shoulder, but D-1409 makes a quick turn and grabs it. He throws D-1456 to the ground.

Command: (through D-1456's radio) D-1409, stop this! You are under the effects of a cognitohazardous entity! You will not be punished. Attack the man!

D-1456: There's no point, he's right! Didn't you hear him? This man is here for me…. to punish me. Except if…. (shouting) No! He only wants one….

D-1456 attacks D-1409, and punches him in the head. D-1409 manages to recover, and kicks D-1456 in the stomach. While D-1456 is on the ground, D-1409 runs away from the padded area to the grass plain, but D-1456 stand up, catches up and tackles him, throwing him to the ground too. The two continue fighting to the ground, very close to SCP-XXXX's location, and D-1409 is heard screaming "Come on man, you almost killed a goddamn baby! You're the one! Fucking LET GO!" D-1456 picks up a stick from the ground and attempts to hit D-1409 on the back, but D-1409 grabs it before he does and throws it away. He manages to stand up and runs next to the tree under which SCP-XXXX is standing, picks up a rock. He throws it to D-1456, who is running to his location, and it hits him to the head. D-1456 falls to the ground, and D-1409 runs to him, and starts kicking him. He continues kicking and punching him for more than seven minutes, and he then stops and stands up.

He looks around him, apparently confused. SCP-XXXX stands up, smiling, and approaches D-1409. D-1409 does not seem scared, and he stays in his position while SCP-XXXX shakes his hand. SCP-XXXX then picks up a shovel (although no such item was previously present in the testing site) and starts digging the concrete floor. D-1409 does not seem to find this strange, and helps SCP-XXXX carry the two bodies inside the holes. SCP-XXXX then proceeds to cover the "graves" with pieces of concrete. After it finishes this, security personnel are mobilized and they successfully re-contain both SCP-XXXX and D-1409.

Follow-Up notes: Exhaustive investigation of the footage from the CCTV system reveals that the shovel appeared under the tree where SCP-XXXX was standing during a very brief visual lag of 0.2 seconds. After the test's conclusion, research personnel dug out the D-class bodies, which now beared distinctive burn marks similar to the ones present in SCP-XXXX's body. A follow-up research revealed that the bodies had been exsanguinated, and no blood was present in their circulatory system. Both of the bodies had the symbol מות marked on their chests.
Investigation of the footage also showed that the rock that D-1409 had thrown against D-1456 stopped at mid-air, before making a very slight curve and finally hitting him. The reason of this is unknown, but it is attributed to SCP-XXXX's [REDACTED - SEE EDITION 2]

Message from: the O5 Council to:Senior Researcher Dr. Dimitri Dush

Dear Dr. Dush,

The O5 Council would like to congratulate you for your promotion as Head of Research for SCP-XXXX. We hope that you will be a valuable asset for the Foundation in this important position.

Why is it so important, you may ask. You perhaps consider SCP-XXXX to be yet another humanoid with compulsive effects, like the thousand others we have in containment. Well, truth is, that we need everyone to think it is. SCP-XXXX's true nature is only revealed to its head of research. And we have to warn you that it's not a pleasant truth. But you have earned your new position, and with it the terrible burden we are, reluctantly, going to put on your shoulders.

You may already have your suspicions, from the small pieces of information that we have leaked to the general staff. The 33 days that pass between every Event, the fact that the being is always looking west, its voice's similarities to 738's, and the terrible marks on the chests of its victims. You may even have already translated the marks, and discovered that, as its Event's name, they too refer to the Hebrew traditions of the destroyer angel, the terrible Mot.

Well, if you have reached this point, there are, frankly, very few things left to say. SCP-XXXX is a Tartarean entity, referred to in ancient tradition as Maweth, Abaddon, or Malak, and known in the modern society as the Grim Reaper. Although its relation to Death itself is indeed very strong, we are convinced that it is not its actual personification. SCP-XXXX is, or at least used to be, the demon that was tasked with enforcing justice in the world, and punishing those that deserved it. As a perfect judge, it made the mortals realize their sins, before judging them. Ancient texts, which you will undoubtedly wish to study with your newly given Level 4/XXXX Clearence, have revealed that, at least in the beginning of its existence, SCP-XXXX didn't actually kill its victims. However, with the arrival of the Scarlet King on its realm, SCP-XXXX became servant to one of its countless followers, the fallen angel L█████, and it took its current, damned form. It is believed though that at some point it was exiled by its master, and it fell on Earth, at which point it was discovered by the ancient civilisations, who gave it the aforementioned names.

Now that you know its true form, you may wonder how do we actually keep the Immortal Judge contained. As you very well know up to this point, we cannot actually fully contain it. What we can do is make sure SCP-XXXX will eventually return to its cell, by activating Protocol Maweth, and using SCP-999's natural powers to counteract the Scarlet King's curse upon it. Malak or Abaddon or however you choose to call him is not inherently evil or malevolent. Its actions and Event outbursts are simply the results of its punishment from its formal master.

That should be all the information you will need to know to be effective on your job as SCP-XXXX's head of research. Again, congratulations for your appointment. We are sure that you will [DATA CORRUPTED @$$@ DATA -] STILL BE WELCOME TO HELL

NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

The following file is currently being subjected to re-evaluation due to severe breaches of protocol by the investigating agent during the preliminary stages of research. Information such as the Object Class and Special Containment Procedures may be outdated and subject to change.

— Maria Jones, Director, RAISA

Object Class: Explained

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX has been redesignated as Explained on 2019/7/19. The individuals known as "Lavinia Hendrix" (formerly SCP-XXXX-1 through -14) have been administered amnestics and released. Observation is planned to continue until 2020/12/31.

SCP-XXXX-10 (picture taken during initial containment operation)

Description: SCP-XXXX (now SCP-XXXX-EX) was the designation given to the village of Aa, Estonia. The village was, at the time of its discovery, inhabited by 12 non-anomalous female humanoids that shared the same name ("Lavinia Hendrix"), as well as similarities in their appearance¹⁴. During the time of the anomaly's preliminary investigation by Agent Thompson (see below), another two female humanoids arrived at the village and also legally changed their names to "Lavinia Hendrix".

History: The Foundation first discovered the village in 2017, following the publication of an article titled "The Village of the Twelve Twins" in the local newspaper Baltische Rundschau. Said interview described the similarities of the village's (all female) inhabitants, the fact that they all shared the same name as a part of a local tradition, as well as an interview with a "Lavinia Hendrix". Agent ████ Thomson of MTF Epsilon-6 "Village Idiots" was sent to investigate the anomaly and interrogate the inhabitants in hope of better understanding the source of the phenomenon.

Archived Addendum A - Audio log

Sent to the Epsilon-6 Commander from Agent Thompson

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-3, "Lavinia Hendrix"

Interviewer: Agent ████ Thomson

Foreword: This Mrs. Hendrix, designated SCP-XXXX-3, had been self-appointed head of the municipal library, and as such is responsible for most public relations of the village. She is suspected to be the Lavinia Hendrix that was interviewed by the Baltische Rundschau, although that could not be verified¹⁵. This interrogation takes place in the municipal library, under the premise of a press interview.

<Begin Log>

(door screeching)

Agent Thompson: Hello… is anyone -

SCP-XXXX-3: Hello hello! Hold up a second…!

(footsteps approaching)

SCP-XXXX-3: Hello sir. How may I help you?

Agent Thompson: Good morning Miss. I am from the Äripäev¹⁶, and -

SCP-XXXX-3: Oh dear. You read the interview, didn't you? I…had no idea it'd be so…I am not even wearing my good dress… ah… could I go change my clothes a second and I'll be back with you -

Agent Thompson: No need to, Mrs Hendrix, I came for a small interview, and if my boss is interested, we may send a crew here. Is that okay with you?

SCP-XXXX-3: Yes of course! Um… have a seat!

(furniture moving, chairs screeching)

Agent Thompson: So, Mrs Hendrix, I am really interested in your village's history. How did those names come to be?

SCP-XXXX-3: (laughs) Oh, you know. Just a little prank we thought of when we arrived here, my grandmother and I. There were other people that arrived later, and my grandmother always made them change their names to hers. I don't really understand why…. When she died at the old Hunter's Pass, people just kept doing it…. I guess as a tribute.

Agent Thompson: So she was…. the original Lavinia Hendrix?

SCP-XXXX-3: Yes, I guess you can say she was. We all are though.

Agent Thompson: So this is all just… a practical joke? Don't you find it odd that… so many people, that didn't even know your grandmother, are just changing their names to hers? And that they look kinda like her?

SCP-XXXX-3: (laughs) It's not like I always think of this… I'm just doing my duty here and -

Agent Thompson: Your…duty? You mean the library?

SCP-XXXX-3: (pause)…yes.

Agent Thompson: All right Mrs Hendrix, one last question. How come… there are no men in this village? Don't you find this odd?

SCP-XXXX-3: Oh…. well… I can't say I don't. But hey, it's not like we don't allow them here, it's just that I don't remember any visiting ever since my grandma died.

Agent Thompson: Hm… understood. Okay Mrs Hendrix, i believe that will be all for the preliminary interview, thank you for your time! I am going to send this to my boss, and we'll see if we need anything else. It's been a pleasure!

SCP-XXXX-3: Oh the pleasure is all mine sir!

Agent Thompson: And a last thing Mrs Hendrix. Would you mind me staying at your village for a while? This whole place seems so beautiful, and the nature here -

SCP-XXXX-3: …of course ! You're welcome to stay, everyone is welcome to stay here! And (chairs screeching)… as a matter of fact, I can give you a room in my house!

Agent Thompson: (laughs) No need to, really… I am sure that I can, like, sleep in my car, or….

SCP-XXXX-3: The thing is, sir, you don't have to. We're all in this together…we are all a family here! Including our visitors, of course! Help each other, talk a lot to each other… this village is a home for all of us!

Agent Thompson: Thanks a lot for this offer, but I don't want to be of any trouble. I'll just stay in my car. Thanks a lot for -

(the recording was abruptly cut by Agent Thompson at this point)

<End Log>

Closing Statement: My first impression is that there doesn't seem to be anything actually anomalous with this village. The absence of any men and the inhabitants' unusual behavior could be signs that something isn't right, but could also be explained as a case of mass hysteria. We've had these things in the past, after all. I will stay at the village for a while more, and try to see if I find anything else.

Archived Addendum B - Video log

This video was given to the Epsilon-6 Commander by Agent Thompson upon his return to Site-53, instead of being sent upon its recording as per protocol

[The video is being recorded by Agent Thompson's secret shoulder camera]

<Begin Log>

00:00: Footage of a small dark room. A desk with stacks of paper on top of it, a portable computer and a bookshelf at the right can be seen. The camera approaches the desk.

00:09: Agent Thompson is seen opening the computer. The computer displays a notification saying "battery low". Agent Thompson is heard saying "damn it".

00:18: Agent Thompson is seen starting to examine the papers. A paper titled "New Citizens" is briefly seen, with at least 11 names on it, all striken through and replaced with "L. H." Camera pans left to a newspaper with the headline "Town Mayor Lavinia Hendrix On the Run" and a subtitle "After embezzling State Bank our of 2 million".

00:26: Agent Thompson grabs the newspaper bringing it closer to the camera. Camera starts shaking.

00:28: Agent Thompson puts the newspaper back in the paper stack. He grabs two papers, which are briefly seen (titled "Money lau[unreadable]" and "Cemetery"), and then puts them back to the stacks too.

00:39: Camera turns left and centers to a painting showing a woman wearing a cowgirl hat and holding a rifle. Starts approaching, and the name "Lav-" is briefly seen under the painting before the recording cuts to black.

<End Log>

Closing statement: Nothing of particular interest was found at the librarian's house. Nothing even indirectly mentioning her grandmother. I will continue keeping an eye on the rest of the villagers for a while and if I don't find anything of value I will call for an Explained designation to be given to the anomaly.

Archived Addendum C - Video Log

This video was also given to the Epsilon-6 Commander following Agent Thompson's return to Site-53, instead of after its recording as per protocol

00:00: Exterior night footage of a small cabin. A mountain can be seen in the distance behind the cabin, and a small hill directly on its right. A small monument can be seen on top of the hill.

00:12: Camera starts approaching the cabin. A light opens inside the cabin, and humans can be seen moving behind the windows.

00:35: Agent Thompson reaches the cabin and the camera is pointed in its interior. Several SCP-XXXX-ν instances can be seen, cleaning the floor and the walls. SCP-XXXX-3 enters the room and places a photo of Agent Thompson on the table. The camera violently moves away from the window, and SCP-XXXX-3 can be briefly seen looking directly above it, apparently at Agent Thompson.

01:08: The camera starts shaking violently, and Agent Thompson's hand briefly obscures the view. The camera is then placed on the ground, now pointing at Agent Thompson as he takes his gun out of its holster. He then looks behind the camera.

01:17: Agent Thompson, now looking visibly startled, aims behind the camera and removes the safety of his gun. Voices can be heard coming from the cabin and approaching the camera from behind. A female voice starts singing, and Agent Thompson slowly puts his gun down. He starts shivering, and a voice is heard from behind the camera. The footage cuts to black.

Closing Statement: Nothing of value.

Addendum D - Mission Report

The following report was sent by Agent Thompson en route from SCP-XXXX to Site-53

Dear Sir,

Following extensive investigations in the SCP-XXXX area as well as several interviews with Lavinia, I have concluded that no anomalous influence exists in the village. The inhabitants do not seem to be under the effects of any memetic, anti-memetic, or otherwise anomalous agent, and to be behaving in their own free will. As such, I suggest that SCP-XXXX be redesignated Explained, and the assorted instances be declassified.

The emotional and physical stress from this particularly extensive mission took a heavier toll than I expected. For this reason, I would also like to offer my resignation from the Foundation. I will not be filing any complaints, as I am aware of the Epsilon-7's state and I understand that more agents couldn't be dispatched with me, but I wish to take some time off this line of work from now on.

I consent to the obligatory resignation amnesticization operation.

It has been an honor,

Agent Lompson

Note that the above request was accepted, and SCP-XXXX along with its assorted individual instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to -14 have been redesignated Explained at 2019/7/19.

Agent Thompson's resignation had also been accepted and he was subjected to his mandatory amnesticization at 2019/7/25. He was last tracked in the Estonian capital of Tallinn, where he was in the process of legally changing his name.

my previous contribution

Object Class: Keter Explained

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to always be kept in a Level 5 Biosafety containment chamber coated with a 60-cm thick layer of telekill alloy. The chamber is to be connected to an adjacent observation room with a 60-cm thick glass viewport, similarly coated with telekill alloy. All personnel wishing to enter the chamber must be equipped with a self-contained breathing apparatus and noice-canceling earpieces, and must have completed all 6 stages of the Antimemetic Division Level 5 Seminar. Expression of the desire to consume seafood by any individual who has previously been involved with SCP-XXXX must be met with the individual's immediate termination¹⁷.

No special containment measures are necessary for SCP-XXXX at the present time. It is to be stored in Maritime Site-69's Warehouse 12, and allowed a minimum of six (6) swimming sessions per day. Expression of the desire to consume seafood by monitoring personnel should be considered normal, and treated as such.

Vice Versa

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is stored inside an armored containment chamber padded with carbon radiation shielding. The chamber is connected to an adjacent observation room, properly equipped to accomodate two security guards for at least six hours. The two rooms are connected with an armored viewport, equipped with a mirror assembly through which only SCP-XXXX's reflection can be observed. Maintenance personnel must be equipped with appropriate noice-cancelling earpieces, opaque goggles and breathmasks connected to a sealed oxygen tank.

Due to SCP-XXXX's nature and its effects, any and all information regarding it must be:

• classified at the highest possible level
• stored as a database entry saved in a remote computer, isolated from the main SCP intranet and any internet network
• accessible indirectly, that is without personnel being directly aware they're accessing it. After the approval of a staff member's request to access any piece of information directly regarding the anomaly (that is, excluding information such as guarding duties or access logs), the individual in question is to be immediately amnesticized. An email containing an encrypted link to SCP-XXXX's database entry will then be sent to the individual in question. It is to be infused with memetic agent D567 and T678

Treatment of SCP-XXXX-1 instances is to be undertaken by members of the Department of Abnormalities. Instances in the third or higher stage of infection are to be terminated.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a perfect sphere of unknown composition with an approximate diameter of 70cm and a weight of 1.7kg, which constantly glows with a red hue. It emits a strong odor, which has been described by subjects as "an odd smell of burned flesh", and is detectable from a range as far as 20 meters away from it. Its surrace is covered with a plethora of symbols typicaly associated with the sarkic tradition of ritualistic sacfirices. Its anomalous effects manifest when any individual, henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-1, comes into any form of direct contact with it (visual, tactile, olfactory, efc.) and depend on the duration of contact:

1-2 seconds of continuous contact - Stage 1 :

Vision: Subjects report that their field of vision is overwhelmed by a "red color", which has been identified as the interior of their orbital cavity.
Hearing: Subjects are rendered functionally deaf, although they report to be able to hear "sea waves", identified as the blood flow in their tympanic cavity
Body exertion: Urinating will cause urine to fill the individual's urethra, and if prolonged, their kidney(s). Injuring the individual will lead to internal bleeding at the location of the injury, with its size depending on the severity of the injury

3-10 seconds of continuous contact - Stage 2 :

Subjects' skin cells are replaced with bone cells. Osteoblasts start forming and mineralizing bone tissue on top of the skin which is observed to start fading out as it is replaced
Subjects' nails are replaced by various internal body cells such as neurons and myocytes

11-17 seconds of continuous contact - Stage 3 :

Up to this point, breaking the continuous contact will result in the anomalous effects gradually demanifesting. From this stage on though, the effects are not reversible.

Subjects' hair is replaced by cerebral cells and axons begin forming neural networks in the place of hair combs
The skin, now covered entirely by a bone integument, starts forming blood vessels and nerves, which cover the entire body, exactly mirroring the circulatory and neural system as it should be under the skin.

20 seconds of continuous contact - Stage 4 :

At this point, subjects are considered fully developed SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The neural system is completed and connected to the cerebral tissue on the head, and together with the circulatory system they are steadily situated on top of the bone integument. All internal organs have been transferred to the exterior of the body as expected, having been formed from their respective cells in the same way as the previous mutations, and are connected to their respective systems (digestive, reproductive, etc.).

20 seconds of continuous contact - Stages 5 and 6

[REDACTED - LEVEL 6 CLEARENCE REQUIRED]

Subjects are found to be self-aware during the entirety of their 20 second mutation, showing, as expected, signs of extreme distress, and pain during the process. After the end of the mutation, SCP-XXXX-1 instances will attempt to escape containment in any way. Their intelligence level remains unchanged, and they frequently attempt to persuade research personnel to release them. When unsuccessful, they will attempt to actively breach containment using brute force, but their fragile nature means their attempts are usually unsuccessful. It oftentimes leads to the subject's death, usually by having a vital organ disconnected or otherwise damaged.

Test #0001/XXXX - First recorded test

Test subject: Mus musculus specimen, laboratory - bred
Test video log transcript:
00:01: Subject is placed in SCP-XXXX's containment chamber using a remotely-controlled robotic arm. The camera is pointed away from SCP-XXXX and directly at a mirror facing the subject, to prevent the cognitohazardous effects from affecting the researchers.
00:02: First signs of mutation: subject's eyes turn to light pink skin, and its ears are seen to fold in on themselves, being covered by flesh. Subject does not attempt to flee, having been fully paralyzed by SCP-XXXX's effects, but is seen violently shaking in pain.
00:20: SCP-XXXX is removed from the chamber as the mutation of the subject is complete. Its digestive system is visible under the nerves and veins that cover its body, as well as its "brain" flesh that covers its head. Subject starts running around panicked, leaving small pieces of veins behind it as it runs.
00:35: Subject stops running, having apparently realized the fragility of its condition. It is removed by the robotic arm.

Test #0006/XXXX - First test with a human specimen

00:01: The subject, D-4425 is introduced to SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. D-4425 becomes aware of the anomaly, and attempts to cover his eyes, but the mutation instantly affects him and he retracts his hands.
00:03-00-12:
D-4435: Woah. (chuckles nervously) Uh… C-Command? Is- is this meditation lesson or something? All I’m hearing are god damn sea waves.

Command: No, D-4435. Proceed on.

D-4435 moves closer to SCP-XXXX.

D-4435: Fuck… I- I can’t see anything but fucking orange.

Command: How are you feeling as of now, D-4435 ?

D-4435 outstretches his arms and attempts to examine them, to no avail. His eyes are now slowly being replaced by his orbital cavity.

D-4435: M- my arms. Fuck is going on? I-

D-4435 yelps and collapses to the ground into a fetal position.

D-4435: Ah shit…

D-4435’s skin begins to fade into milky white, as bone cells start replacing his skin

D-4435: D- doc? My head. My head feels funny. I- I can’t do this anymore.

Command: D-4435, stay where you are!

D-4435: Why- Ah fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

D-4435 screams in agony, as he thrashes about on the floor. The entirety of his head fades into a milky white, before blood vessels and brain matter begin to overtake it.

Command: D-4435 ?

D-4435 stops thrashing. He slowly stands up, albeit with difficulty in regaining his balance.

Command: We are going to ask you a few questions. Remain where you are.

D-4435: No. No more. Pl..plle…ase…

D-4435 turns around slowly, revealing an amalgamation of brain matter, blood vessels, bone and muscles. His heart is visibly pumping, albeit at a faster rate than that prior to the experiment.

D-4435: (crying) Wh-why…?

Command: D-

D-4435 sprints to the containment cell door, using his fists to pound on it.

D-4435: No no ques…. t… ions…. N… n… O…. no….

The door's security mechanism zaps D-4435 and he drops to the floor. His blood vessels begin to rupture and burst, injured from the fall, and expell blood onto the floor. Muscles display evident signs of bruising.

D-4435: n…. n…..>
(D-4435 collapses to the floor. After 2 minutes, a remote mechanism removes his body as he seems to be unable to stand up. The chamber mechanism clears the room of biological matter)

Test #0008/XXXX - First prolonged exposure to SCP-XXXX

From: SCP-XXXX Research Group Director
Subject: SCP-XXXX Update

Dear user,
There have been some rather interesting new discoveries during the latest test involving SCP-XXXX (Inter_Dtbase_Entry#XXXX_test0008_classif).

During this test, subject D-3356's stage 4 mutated body was left in the containment chamber, fully exposed to SCP-XXXX instead of being removed as per standard procedure. After 30 minutes of continued exposure, the body was lifted in the air, apparently with no external stimuli, and began glowing with a bright blue hue. Immediately following this, the command chamber received live audio originating from D-3356 himself. The transcript is as follows:

<Begin Log>

<End Log>

Notes: The test was found to have been recorded in reverse order (the final vocalizations being at the start and the distinctive audio sound denoting the beginning of the log being at the end). All four researchers have been mutated beyond recognition to a stage 5 SCP-XXXX-1 instance.

There are things that didn't make it to the log though. I was with the first squad that entered the chamber after the event, and things were weird. We didn't actually manage to enter the chamber at first: the guy who opened the pressure doors immediately collapsed to the floor. The D-class had collapsed into an unrecognizable mass of flesh and bone dust, which expelled SCP-XXXX's radiation - like mutagen at a very high rate according to our organs. Apparently that is the final stage 6 of infection:total matter reversal; replication is therefore not an option. When we managed to neutralize the thing and subdued the radiation remains using a Dugiarius probe, we entered the observation room, and we found the four researchers… catatonic. Their flesh had apparently covered the entirety of their insides, and their exterior was unrecognizable. They had been fully reversed, their eyes were missing, and veins and brains were literally floating around them. How can you describe something when there are no words, no sense in the human experience to describe it? They were not humans, not even humanoids. They were something else entirely, alive only because death would be too simple to explain their condition.

We attempted to get rid of them, but the standard incinerator did not work. They emerged unharmed, still sentient, and unlike the rest of the instances, not damaged at all. The incinerator backfired immediately after we removed them, that is, instead of launching fire in the chamber, it burned its own circuits (it seems that stage 5 instances are able to transmit their reverse mutation?) All other methods of termination (exposure to radiation, application of anti-matter of the same mass, etc.) ended in the same way: the machines didn't harm the instances, and were destroyed immediately after by having their effects applied to themselves.

Needless to say if you've read the current Special Containment Procedures, we eventually found a way to actually neutralize them. We dropped the instances by plane inside Site-0's containment perimeter, and as expected [REDACTED] succeeded in withstanding the mutation's effects and annihilated the four instances. The thing is…as you know we cannot afford using it more than absolutely necessary. So if any more stage 5 instances emerge, it is very unlikely we will manage to get O5 approval to neutralize them.

Sincerely,

[REDACTED]

The Starfish

Description: SCP-XXXX is a midly metastasized meme complex partially inhabiting our reality and conceptually intersecting it. It's a quasi-transportable entity, meaning that it can exist in several places at once, and it is also known to partially influence different hosts at a varying extent.

Upon SCP-XXXX's manifestation in a real and clearly defined location (SCP-XXXX-L), it will take the conceptual form of an item or organism likely to attract the interest of its host-to-be. This item or organism is referred to as its intermediate state, and is always exotic in nature (see Addendum A).

Contact with the host is usually made within 24 to 48 hours, at which point SCP-XXXX has fully transported in the target location. The host is then influenced by SCP-XXXX, initiating a series of events that inevitably lead to a major social and cultural shifting event in the target location. Upon the conclusion of this event, SCP-XXXX demanifests from the target location.

Addendum A - SCP-XXXX appearances log

First Event Witnessed by Foundation Forces (undercover squad GT-63
Date: ██/1█/19██
Location: ████, Finland
Location Description: The village of ████ was the smallest village of its region. It was inhabited by 1,908 permanent residents, whose main source of income was fishing. The village council had made several requests of financial aid to the government, but they were all rejected.
SCP-XXXX form taken: Unidentified large orange fish (length: 13 meters)
Host: Yes, Eino ███
Event description: SCP-XXXX was sighted in the village pier by Mr ███, and proceeded to jump out of the water several times, before diving back into the sea. Mr ███ initially afraid, attempted to run away but then proceeded to take several pictures of SCP-XXXX with his cellphone, before running towards the city hall. The undercover squad reported the incident, and got permission to record any changes to the village.

The next day, Mr ███ with the help of local businessman Mr Tao ████ proceeded to erect a billboard with one of SCP-XXXX's photos Mr ███ had taken. They also set up a website, titled "████, Home to the World's Largest Fish".

Within a month of SCP-XXXX's sighting, the three hotels of the village were full, and several villagers had also opened their houses to tourists. The local airport also made an agreement with several international flight agencies to connect with European flights. By ██/█/19██, ████ was the second largest settlement of its region and the seventh most popular tourist destination of Finland. The last confirmed sighting of SCP-XXXX was at █/█/19██.
