Airport

Object Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: All entrances to SCP must be guarded by at least two (2) armed guards who must remain five (5) meters away from the entrance at all times. All personnel wishing to enter SCP-XXXX for experimentation must receive approval from a Level 3 researcher and obtain all necessary equipment from Site 72, with total weight on person not exceeding thirty (30) kg.

All items and equipment brought inside must be documented and checked by guards via metal detector before entering. All research and experiments must be conducted between the hours of 1900 (7:00 PM) and 0900 (9:00 AM) only, unless given permission by Level 5 authorization.

No damage is to be done to any pictures found in SCP-XXXX.

Any personnel who remain after 0900 hours must not attempt to leave the facility before 1900 hours under any circumstances.

Description:
SCP is an abandoned airport in ████████, █████. It is approximately 2 km by 1.4 km in area. The airport shutdown after its opening day in 1993 due to a large scale attack by an unknown group, resulting the death of all 1207 people who were present for the opening ceremony. Investigation into the identity of the attackers is on going. Several pictures of families are found around the airport, which have led to the supposed identification of SCP-XXXX-1 instances.

While inside the airport, certain regulations are meant to be upheld at all times. Failure to follow these rules will result in the appearance of SCP-XXXX-1, which is a collective term referring to seventeen security guards dressed in dark blue SWAT-like uniforms with dark visors covering their faces. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is 1.9 meters in height. No designation to any kind of security force can be found on their uniforms. All instances generally move around on patrol between 1900 and 0900 hours.

Upon violation of a rule, the nearest instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will approach the violator, apprehend them by force, and bring them to one of five holding cells located near the early check-in counter. The violator will remain in the cell, guarded and unable to escape, until a certain amount of time has passed, after which a guard remaining near the cell will open it, allowing the imprisoned to go free. The amount of time spent in the cell depends on the degree of the violation. Standard airport rules are in effect, with the addition of several unusual rules. According to SCP-XXXX, these are categorized as codes.

Violation Details

Code 1 Violations:

• Thinking¹ about bombs, explosions, acts of terrorism, or any large scale violence. These will henceforth be known as violation words.
• Being unclean². This is the only violation where punishment can be avoided upon immediate correction of fault.

Code 2 Violations:

• Having more than 30 kg of excess³ weight on person.
• Having more than 100 ml of any liquid on person. This does not include any liquid inside of the body.
• Having any illness, or symptoms of illness. This result in a medical check by one of the guards during containment in cell.

Code 3 Violations:

• Writing any violation word.
• Entering the airport without a valid passport.
• Refusing to give priority⁴ to women, children, or elderly.

Code 4 Violation:

• Speaking any violation word.
• Having more than 200 grams of metallic material on your person between 1900 hours and 0900 hours.
• Counting down from or up to ten, five, or three.

Code 5 Violation:

• Whistling an unoriginal tune⁵.
• Damaging a picture found inside SCP-XXXX.

Punishments:
Code 1: 1 hour in cell.
Code 2: 3 hours in cell.
Code 3: 8 hours in cell.
Code 4: Locked in cell until 0900 hours.
Code 5: [DATA EXPUNGED]

Between 0900 hours and 1900 hours, all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will leave their posts and head into the baggage handling system, and towards an exit at the far end, though no entities are seen leaving from the outside. They will unlock all cells at this time, regardless if a violator inside still has time to serve. All exits will also be locked and unable to be opened by any means. Shutters cover all windows.

SCP-XXXX-2 will begin roaming the airport at this time. SCP-XXXX-3 will join shortly after.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a deformed security guard which has been described by subjects as 'looking like it's melting', with flesh seemingly liquid in behavior. It wears a uniform similar to SCP-XXXX-1, with the phrase 'Screening Team' printed on it. This entity appears randomly near subjects, usually around corners, when opening a door, or when turning around suddenly. SCP-XXXX-2 will attempt to 'screen' subjects by sliding its body up and down the subject, absorbing any metallic or liquid material they have. If the amount is greater than 200 grams, or of any other rule is violated, SCP-XXXX-2 will wail loudly, calling the attention of SCP-XXXX-3.

SCP-XXXX-3 is a short humanoid, about 1 meter in height, that is dark brown in color with very dry skin. It wears a uniform similar to SCP-XXXX-1, with 'Screaming Team' printed on it. When making visual contact with anyone, it will bang on a nearby surface twice. SCP-XXXX-2 can then be heard wailing again from a distance⁶.

SCP-XXXX-3 will then pursue its target while screaming very loudly. Although it is easy to outrun, it does not tire, and will pursue until it catches its target or until 1900 hours. Its scream seems to cause headaches and dizziness, disorienting its targets.

Addendum 1: Anyone being pursued by SCP-XXXX-3 must not attempt to exit the airport. See Incident Report 72A.

Once physical contact is made, the subject will be paralyzed from the neck down, and placed on the conveyor belt at the nearest check-in counter and moved into the baggage handling system. They will appear on the baggage carousel in Arrivals at 1900 hours, completely void of any bodily fluids and metallic elements, such as iron, copper, and zinc. This process happens via [DATA EXPUNGED] until death occurs. This process can be interrupted if the process is not completed before 1900 hours.

If no violations are committed, SCP-XXXX-2 will return all confiscated items, make a small gurgling noise before leaving the subject alone. If SCP-XXXX-3 is encountered, it will still bang a surface, but SCP-XXXX-2 will not respond. SCP-XXXX-3 will also leave the subject alone. While patrolling and not attacking, they act similar to SCP-XXXX-1 in behavior.

Incident Report 72A: During Exploration 5, Agent Kapp attempted to escape via the main entrance. SCP-XXXX-3 jumped towards Agent Kapp, who dodged. SCP-XXXX-3 damaged the entrance way, allowing Agent Kapp to escape towards the guard station. SCP-XXXX-3 pursued outside SCP-XXXX, capturing both Agent Kapp and the two stationed guards. Bullets were ineffective on it. SCP-XXXX-3 dragged all of its victims into SCP-XXXX and punished all accordingly. This is the only occurrence of an entity from SCP-XXXX leaving the airport. Entrance was repaired by SCP-XXXX-1.

Mission Abstract: Explore area around and inside of SCP-XXXX and extract any possible samples for testing.

Assigned Task Force: Mobile Task Force Weber-21 (Pilots of Tomorrow)

Notes: 3 members of MTF Weber-21 entered SCP-XXXX at 2037 hours. No weapons were carried with them, only Plexiglas shields for protection. Transcript of communication audio shown below.

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

Agent Trail: Trail confirming mic check.

Command: We read you Weber-21.

Agent Lance: Chec.

Agent Sarconis: Check check.

Trail: Now entering the location. Time of entry twenty thirty-seven. Stay sharp.

Command: Entry into location confirmed.

Sarconis: Haven't been to an airport in years. It's always just helicopter to whatever site has a breach.

Trail: Yeah, let's hope this isn't your last visit to an airport.

Lance: No signs of movement. Airport looks empty.

Trail: Empty for sur-. Wait, I hear movement. 3 o'clock.

Note: Video footage from Agent Trail's helmet camera show 3 instances of SCP-XXXX-1 rapidly approach the team.

Sarconis: What do we do?

Trail: Hold position. Keep your shields on hand.

Sarconis: I wish we had guns.

Lance: Identify yourselves.

All instances halt several meters from Weber-21. Behind them, a large, electronic announcements board turns on. Red text appears where flight schedules would usually. This is assumed to be SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX: WELCOME TO BLANK AIRPORT. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL REGULATIONS FOR A SAFE AND PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. FOR ASSISTANCE, DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK SECURITY PERSONNEL FOR HELP.

Sarconis: Security Personnel? Sounds like we're back at the Foundation.

Trail: You three. Who are you?

Announcements board displays the same message.

Sarconis: I guess they ain't much of talkers. Lance, you'll fit in perfect here.

Lance: These things don't seem to be a threat. Let's move.

Trail: Right. Let's stick together for now. Command, heading for the check-in.

Command: Affirmative. If possible, try to get a sample off of one of those guards.

Agent Lance approaches one of the entities. She touches one with a finger. The guard looks at her, but otherwise no response. Agent Lance attempts to remove the helmet of said entity, which causes it to grab her with a bear hug and carry her off.

Lance: Shit! Trail, one got me!

Trail: Shit. Sarconis, help me get her free.

Sarconis: Dammit, Lance.

The team attempts to free Agent Lance by force with their shields, to no avail. Other two entities grab Agents Trail and Lance in a similar fashion. All three are taken towards Departures, where they are tossed in what look to be makeshift cells. The team is unable to escape.

Sarconis: What the hell! These guys are strong as shit.

Trail: Hey! What did we do? Why did you grab our teammate like that?

Another nearby electronic message board turns on with red text.

SCP-XXXX: VIOLATION: ASSAULTING A BLANK AIRPORT GUARD. CODE 2 PUNISHMENT: 3 HOURS IN CELL.

Sarconis: Three hours!

Lance: I apologize. I guess they don't want their faces seen.

Trail: It's fine, Lance. Command, do you read me?

Command:We read you, Weber-21. We saw everything. When you get out of that cell, head back to rendezvous point. If there are rules besides no weapons allowed, we don't want to risk anything at the moment. Attempt further communication while you wait.

Trail: Understood. We'll be out in… I guess three hours.

Sarconis: Great. Now what? We just sit here with our dicks in our hands? Or I guess in Lance's case her-

Trail: Shut it, Sarconis. We wait. Three hours is nothing. So, uh, guard guy.

The one entity that remained to guard the cell is unresponsive.

Trail: What are the rules of this place?

Sarconis: I suppose that board isn't going to answer us either.

Trail: Yeah. Lance are you okay?

Lance: Arms are a bit sore from that thing grabbing me, but otherwise fine.

The next three hours consists of mundane chat between members of Weber-21. Agent Sarconis is hit several times by Agents Trail and Lance. After the allotted time, the guard opens the cell door.

Sarconis: Finally! Free at last, free at last.

Trail: Guard guy, what are the rules of this place?

Entity turns and points towards message board.

SCP-XXXX: ALL REGULATIONS ARE STANDARD BLANK AIRPORT PRECAUTIONS TO ENSURE SAFETY OF ALL PASSENGERS AND PERSONNEL. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

Sarconis: That was helpful.

Trail: Command, heading back now.

Command: Affirmative, Weber-21.

Team exits through main entrance. Several more instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are seen patrolling the airport.
