Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Keter
Special containment procedures: Currently, there is no effective strategy to fully contain SCP-XXXX.
Foundation web crawlers are to monitor internet communities related to lucid dreaming or OOBE in particular for mentions of SCP-XXXX. Further actions regarding suppressing of public knowledge about SCP-XXXX are to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
A designated group capable of deliberately entering an OOBE and "lucid dream" states should be present in every Foundation facility in which the presence of SCP-XXXX instances are confirmed. This group is to include one senior researcher, two junior researchers and five individuals with Basic Combat Training. Additional individuals could be added to the group if deemed necessary by director of the respective facility. SCP-XXXX are to be observed by the aforementioned personnel with the usage of OOBE, all collected information is to be documented in this file.
"DREAMLAND" procedure should be initiated if one of the following criteria are met:
- More than 20% of the facility employees became hosts to SCP-XXXX instances
- Rapid growth of SCP-XXXX population within the facility was detected
- The procedure initiation was deemed necessary by the facility director
When "DREAMLAND" procedure is initiated, all five members of the group with Basic Combat Training should enter OOBE state nearly simultaneously and begin patrolling the facility in one coherent direction, searching for SCP-XXXX instances. Encountered SCP-XXXX instances are to be confronted and terminated. Members of the group should also visualize all facility employees documented to have specific symptoms to determine whether or not they are hosts to SCP-XXXX instances.
Any cases of non-standard behaviour from SCP-XXXX instances, as well as information about particular Foundation personnel affected by them should be reported to a Level 4 Researcher, assigned to the object. Affected individuals are to be medically inspected on a regular basis.
Foundation facilities not yet confirmed to be affected by SCP-XXXX instances should be monitored monthly. If personnel begin to show symptoms associated with SCP-XXXX's influence, the respective facility should be inspected immediately.
SCP-XXXX are a parasitic species whose appearance is similar to Latrodectus mactans. Primarily, SCP-XXXX differs from latrodectus mactans in the sense that the proboscis is serrated, not unlike that of Culicidae The entities, additionally, have an unidentifiable adhesive substance at their appendages the source of which has not yet been found. This substance theoretically is for attaching an SCP-XXXX entity to the subject and render it difficult to separate them.
SCP-XXXX can grow up to 1.5 meters, the smallest observed instances being at 10cm. It is speculated that the SCP-XXXX's growth is directly proportional to the amount of time it's been attached to the host. The instances are entirely invisible to the naked eye. It is also impossible to detect them via thermal imagers or any other devices known to Foundation. SCP-XXXX instances can only be seen and interacted with by a person experiencing an OOBE state. Observation has indicated SCP-XXXX's hostility towards human beings.
Even though there are documented cases of SCP-XXXX instances attacking civilians, they are currently believed to primarily target Foundation facilities. The reason for this behaviour or possible origin of SCP-XXXX are unknown. Research is ongoing.
The following information regarding SCP-XXXX's habits has been collected by observation groups across multiple Foundation facilities and compiled into this description:
When an SCP-XXXX instance is in need of nutrition, it will search for the closest subject, preferring individuals in a state of immobility After locating the appropriate individual, the SCP-XXXX instance will climb on the subject and secure its position by secreting a bonding substance which inhibits the host from separating itself from the entity. SCP-XXXX instances usually prefer human body parts with lesser amount of muscle tissue, the neck being the most favorable area. After attaching itself to the subject, an SCP-XXXXX instance will pierce the skin with a serrated proboscis, and begin to feed. This process occurs without subject's knowledge. SCP-XXXX instances typically feed on one subject for more than a month, rapidly growing while doing so. It is also possible for one individual to simultaneously host multiple SCP-XXXX instances.
It is known that SCP-XXXX instances are capable of laying eggs, though little is known about their breeding process. Reportedly, egg clutches are usually located in sparsely populated areas and consist of more than twenty eggs each. Observation indicates that most of the eggs hatch in 5-7 days.
It is yet unknown what exactly are SCP-XXXX instances consuming, subject's medical state doesn't change in any way after they become host to SCP-XXXX. That said, there will be significant changes in subject's psychological state with no apparent reason. That may include:
- Constant lack of energy and enthusiasm
- Nervous behaviour, anxiety
- Paranoia
- Melancholia
- Predominance of pessimism
In some cases, SCP-XXXX's long-term feeding causes subject to enter the state similar to clinical depression. It is confirmed that SCP-XXXX's influence caused approximately ██ suicides across multiple Foundation facilities.
It is also confirmed that while SCP-XXXX instances are invisible and presumably invulnerable to any kind of damage in the objective reality, individuals in the state of OOBE are capable of harming and killing them via physical interaction. Instances are able to sense, see, and show aggression towards individuals able to see them and will show aggression towards them. SCP-XXXX instances are able to move with the speed of 1m/sec, but don't possess any anomalous means of defense and can be easily terminated if caught off guard. While young SCP-XXXX instances can be killed by one single person, mature ones usually require combined effort. It is worth noting that even though multiple subjects in the state of OOBE can't possibly communicate with each other, damage inflicted upon SCP-XXXX instance by one of them will be visible to the entire group. It is also possible to use various surrounding objects against them, although those actions will not have any consequences in the objective reality.
Addendum XXXX.1 - Discovery log: It is currently believed that SCP-XXXX instances first came into contact with the Foundation shortly after one of the operations by MTF Omega-18 ("Nagging flies"), in which Omega-18 successfully raided the building believed to be a shelter for a group of individuals associated with "Serpent's Hand" GoI. Six days later, the following message was sent by Dr. Martin Styles regarding anomalous activity in Site-197.
FROM: Doctor Martin Styles <noitadnuof.pcs|selytsm#noitadnuof.pcs|selytsm>
TO: Doctor Bernard Bishop <noitadnuof.pcs|pohsibb#noitadnuof.pcs|pohsibb>
SUBJECT: The consequences
I told you before this operation was too easy. Just think about it for a moment, the MTF squad came into the building with a dozen of those Serpent cultists inside, readily overpowered them and captured more than a half of them with no casualties. From what I heard, they didn't even care enough to fight back or use the anomalous items they had. It was very strange, especially considering how violently they usually protect their stuff from us.
Well, now my fears are confirmed. The mental state of PoIs we captured in that raid has deteriorated radically since then, psychological tests we ran on them showed that at least three have symptoms usually associated with clinical depression. Nothing changed in their physical state though, medical examination did not help us to find out what is exactly wrong with them. In other words, they should not have those symptoms, but they do. There are no memetic agents either, we checked for them at the very first day. And those news are not the worst ones. Some of the employees working with the PoIs, as well as aforementioned MTF squad members, also started experiencing similar mental issues.
I authorized the usage of coercive interrogation techniques on some of the cultists, but we did not get any useful information from them. The cultists informed us that they traveled to some weird places recently, but could not tell anything particularly related to this sudden depression outburst. Given how coercive those techniques were, I can assume that they are not lying. They actually have no idea what is happening to them. Same goes for us.
All related PoIs and affected employees will be moved to quarantine. I hope to get an antimemetic response team as soon as possible. I guess there's really no such thing as a free lunch.
SCP-XXXX's existence was discovered shortly after, when Foundation Agent █████ unintentionally entered an OOBE state during their overnight stay at Site-197. Reportedly, after entering this state Agent █████ traveled through the Site, locating more than two dozen grown SCP-XXXX instances along the way. Subject also claims that they encountered Doctor Fellini during this event and saw an SCP-XXXX instance feeding on him. It is worth noting that Dr. Fellini reported similar symptoms to those listed above two weeks before the incident, and his mental condition has continued to deteriorate since then. To either confirm or debunk SCP-XXXX instances' existence, a special team of subjects capable of entering an OOBE state was assembled and sent to Site-197 for an investigation. The existence of SCP-XXXX instances was confirmed afterwards, development of Special Containment Procedures has begun.
Addendum XXXX.2 - Interview log: The following is the interview conducted by Dr. Bishop in order to obtain more detailed information about SCP-XXXX instances from Agent █████
<Start log>
Dr. Bishop: Greetings, █████. Do you know why this interview was conducted?
Agent █████: Yes… I guess I do. You want to know… About them, right? The insects.
Dr. Bishop: That is correct. I want you to try to recap that night when you first encountered SCP-XXXX instances.
Agent █████: Alright. Just let me prepare for a second. This wasn't the most pleasant experience to remember, you know.
Dr. Bishop: I understand. But information provided by you here might help us understand SCP-XXXX better. We have to talk about this.
Agent █████: Yes, yes. I know. Okay, I'll try… So, I woke up at roughly 4 a. m. Couldn't fell asleep for at least an hour. Had too many thoughts, tossed in my bed, it was a long struggle. But I managed to relax and close my eyes, I guess that's when it all began. At first, I felt like something is crawling up my leg. I think I tried to hit this spot with my hand, kinda like a reflex. It didn't help, I started to feel it on different parts of my body. I opened my eyes, tossed down my blanket. And I saw…
Subject breathes heavily
Agent █████: A lot of those insects. I mean, SCP-XXXX instances. They were moving around incredibly fast, almost all of them disappeared from the view the next second I saw them. Those insects were really small compared to the ones I encountered later. I guess they were younglings.
Dr. Bishop: What was your initial reaction?
Agent █████: I panicked. I have arachnophobia, so this experience… It was very unpleasant, to say the least. I quickly got up from the bed and tried to kill them. I actually managed to kill one, inside of them is a very disgusting purple goo. Then I realized that my body was actually still laying on the bed, and I was separated from it. It was when I understood that it was an OOBE state. I’ve experienced it before, so I wasn't really surprised.
Dr. Bishop: What were your next actions?
Agent █████: I heard a gross popping sound from under of my desk. Then, I saw one of those… Instances moving out of there. I looked under the desk, and there I saw a big cluster of eggs. A lot of goddamned spider eggs, in my room. There were at least fifty, and judging by the looks of them, some had already hatched.
Subject drinks a glass of water
Agent █████: I thought it was all delusions caused by OOBE, but the weird thing was… They were oddly coherent. I mean, usually I can't comprehend the surrounding reality in this state, let alone fantasize about some giant spiders taking over my bedroom. So I decided to find other people, I don't really know why that idea seemed so smart back then, but still. I started wandering around the Site.
Dr. Bishop: This is how you encountered other SCP-XXXX instances?
Agent █████: Yes… I started seeing bigger ones. They were… Really big, the biggest spiders I had ever seen in my life. I saw employees, too. It looked like nobody really cared about those giant monsters roaming around in the halls. It wasn't weird though, I thought that I'm dreaming and all of this isn't real. And then I saw Dr. Fellini…
Subject starts shivering for a moment, then takes a deep breath and continues
Agent █████: Yes, he was just walking down the hall. But on his back… Giant, giant instance. It was half the size of Alex himself. Its legs wrapped around his torso, its proboscis in his neck. It was sucking something out of there. I tried to do something about it, and then… Then this thing… It noticed me. I don't know how exactly, but I could tell it knew I was there. And it wasn't pleased about it.
Dr. Bishop: Please calm down and try to continue. What happened after that?
Agent █████: Well, some bigger ones… Started to chase me. Very aggressively. One actually managed to crawl on my leg, but I hit it with some item I found nearby. I don't really remember what it was, but it worked. Then, I ran off. At least it felt like I did, I probably just moved to another location in one second.
Dr. Bishop: In the previous interview you mentioned visiting the cafeteria. What exactly happened there?
Agent █████: Yes, Well… I o-opened the door, and I saw a lot of employees, some were having a meal, some were chatting with each other. It was just like the times I visited cafeteria in real life. But… Eh… This time there were a lot of spiders too. The big ones, they were feeding on the employees, but no one seemed to notice that at all. And after that… Those creatures noticed me, again. This time, they were even faster. And I… Tried to fight, I screamed for help, but there was nothing I could do. They surrounded me. Their legs… Were everywhere. I… I remember waking up right after feeling sharp pain in the back of my neck.
Dr. Bishop: Thank you, █████, this information is very important. Do you have anything else you would like to report, or should I conclude the interview?
Agent █████: Well, I guess I should say that, after that dream… I started feeling strangely. It's very hard for me to fall asleep since this event occurred, but also I feel… Empty? On emotional level, I mean. It became difficult for me to stay motivated or feel positive emotions, sometimes it's like I lack the ability to feel them at all, and this constant tiredness really bothers me. Could it be related to those creatures in some way?
Dr. Bishop: As of right now, we don't have confirmation of it. I think the most reasonable explanation is that symptoms you described are consequences of your sleep disorder. There is no need to worry about that. Thank you again, █████. This interview is over.
<End log>
Following the interview, Agent █████ was treated with Class-C Amnesiacs and relocated to another Foundation facility. The "DREAMLAND" procedure was initiated shortly after.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Keter Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX has proved its loyalty and devotion to the Foundation, so it doesn't require any containment procedures. SCP-XXXX is allowed to spread his influence over any electronic information carriers located in Site-197. Any of its requests must be immediately satisfied, regardless of the costs for the Foundation. SCP-XXXX should not access Site-197's main database. SCP-XXXX should be provided with extensive information about all SCP objects contained in Site-197 and methods of their suppression, as well as personal files of all its employees.
SCP-XXXX should be formally granted level 2 3 4 security clearance. At the moment, a proposal is under consideration to use SCP-XXXX as an AI for the database of Site-197 and reclassify it as "Thaumiel" exclude it from the list of SCP objects. All employees who show any signs of aggression towards SCP-XXXX or attempt to dispute its containment procedures should be immediately terminated.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient entity that appears to exist solely in a form of information on electronic devices (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1). After distributing to electronic device the entity takes it under its absolute control, thus turning it into SCP-XXXX-1. Simultaneously, SCP-XXXX is able to control approximately ███ SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The entity has the ability to communicate with outside world by using the capabilities of the captured devices and transfer information between various SCP-XXXX-1 without any visible restrictions. SCP-XXXX was found on the computer's hard drive in [REDACTED]. The object was disconnected from the power supply, then delivered to Site-197 for further researching.
The list of requests submitted by the object:
- Replace the computer in which entity is contained with a more modern one, provide access to the power supply. (approved)
- Reclassify SCP-XXXX to "Safe." (approved)
- Provide high-speed Internet connection. (approved)
- Provide access to all Site-197 researchers computers. (approved)
- Provide access to all personal electronic information carriers of Site-197 employees. (approved)
- Provide direct access to Site-197's main database. (approved)
- Review current containment measures and/or scrap them. (approved)
- Provide a possibility to become a full-fledged Site-197 employee. (approved)
- Exclude SCP-XXXX from the list and reassign the number. (is pending)
SCP-XXXX has proved its dedication to the Foundation's cause and willingness to cooperate. He also assisted the Organization's employees in █ containment breaches and prevented █ attempts to break into the Site-197's main database by hostile groups.
Dr. Patterson's note: At this point, it is apparent to all employees of Site-197 that SCP-XXXX does not pose any danger. Moreover, his abilities could be exceptionally useful for the Foundation, therefore it is required to maintain coоperation with it. If SCP-XXXX will be on our side, our chances of resisting anomalous threats will undoubtedly increase.

DOCUMENT ADDED: [THE LINK IS GONNA BE HERE I GUESS] АSQСDJ'PSCОQ'ЄQJђW&]
Note: First of all, let me warn you: the following text contains a Level-III memetic hazard.
After reading this skip, you will be required to view a combination of symbols that will counter SCP- XXXX's influence. You will find the needed combination at the bottom of this document. Proceed with caution.
The following document is suitable for Foundation employees with any level of clearance. For all those who read this: I guess you already understood that SCP-XXXX file which is currently located in database is absolutely absurd. This is Dr. Styles, a Senior Researcher with the third level of clearance. I got unauthorized access to one of Site-197 database terminals. My actions are contrary to the instructions, but break-in was the only way to send this message. I want everyone to understand what exactly is going on. I encrypted this document in such a way that SCP-XXXX will be unable to gain access to it for some time. Below I will give the remains of the original document regarding SCP-XXXX's containment procedures, which was deleted from the database by employees who fell under its anomalous influence. Unfortunately, there is very little information left in it, I
guess i'll have to complement it from memory. I ask in advance to forgive me for possible non- observance of the reporting form.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained on an electronic device without any access to other information carriers and electricity. Under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX gain access to [DATA CORRUPTED] have to be completely isolated. All employees possesing any kind of knowledge about the object should view special combination of symbols, that acts as counteraction to SCP-XXXX's anomalous abilities, every twenty-four hours.
Dr. Styles note: At the moment, SCP-XXXX has breached containment. It is currently unknown how many Foundation employees are under its direct influence, but I can assume it already seized full control of Site-197. Its possible that SCP-XXXX has already spread it's influence over other Foundation Sites. Research has shown that viewing a special combination of symbols will stop SCP-XXXX's effect on a person for approximately twenty-four hours. All documents containing the correct symbols combination to counter the memetic threat have been destroyed or changed by affected Foundation employees. The last copy is with me right now.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient entity that appears to exist solely in a form of information on electronic devices (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1). After distributing to electronic device the entity takes it under its absolute control, thus turning it into SCP-XXXX-1. Simultaneously, SCP-XXXX is able to control approximately ███ SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The entity has the ability to communicate with outside world by using the capabilities of the captured carriers and transfer information between various SCP-XXXX-1 without any visible restrictions. SCP-XXXX was found on a computer's hard drive in [REDACTED]. The object was disconnected from the power supply, then delivered to Site-197 for further researching. [DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. Styles note: At the beginning it was virtually everything we knew about this entity. We thought we encountered yet another self-aware AI or some kind of anomalous computer virus. But it turns out we were mistaken. SCP-XXXX doesn't control computers or electrical appliances. It controls the information itself. SCP-XXXX can easily gain access to the data related to it in any form. Its anomalous influence affects not only electronic, printed, video and audio information, but also memories and thoughts about it directly in the person's brain. The object is able to manipulate intelligent beings by altering their thoughts regarding it. Apparently, those under the influence of SCP-XXXX are unable to control their attitude towards him, and will idolize the object regardless of the situation. Mechanism of its effect is still poorly understood, so currently my description is most complete one.
Little is known about true nature of SCP-XXXX, but to me it seems like we are dealing with a memetic agent which exists only in a form of information about itself. If you are unfamiliar with memetic and cognitive threats, it's gonna be hard for you to comprehend. We don't know how intelligent this entity is or is it sentient at all. In any way, it's behaviour during early experiments shows that the object's intelligence evolved incredibly fast, or that SCP-XXXX carefully played dumb this entire time to breach containment.
Discovery Log: [DATA CORRUPTED]
ATTENTION! INFORMATION CONTAINING LEVEL-III MEMETIC HAZARD DETECTED! ACTIVATING DELETION PROTOCOL…
Dr. Styles n█te: If I rec█ll correctly, SCP-XXXX was disc█vered in one small town in w█ich it took control of virtually all electron█c media. Town's residents w█re about to el█ct him as a new mayor. It seemed to them that SCP-XXXX was incredibly wise and worthy leader. Such m█ss insanity just had to at█ract Organization's att██tion. All el█ctronic car█iers under SCP-XXXX's influence were destroyed, t█e object was delivered to Site-197. Other than that, we discovered that amn█ctic agents could be useful in preventing it's anomalous effect, but if p█rson will le█rn about SCP-XXXX's existence again… It will be a w█ste of resources.
I'm hopef█l th█t t██s message will reach at least █ne ot█er Site wh█re it can be decrypt█d. I also want to point out that SCP-XXXX's influence can be very inconspicuous, ju█jing by it's be██viour I c█n almost surely tell he alters person's memory by himself and does t█is at need. In other words, he c█n have acc█ss to your m█nd, but yo█ will n██ kn█w about it. I'm ████ng you to save a█d copy this ██tion o█ symbols w█ich will be inc██ded at the bottom of the doc█ment. Then you'll have t█ spr█ad i█ to pr█v█de Site-197 employees a pos█ibility of get█ing rid of SCP-XXXX's cont█ol. I tried doing it myself, but alas, SC█-3█70 deprived m█ of ██ss to t█e da██base. T█e f█ct th█t I w█s ███e to a██ this do███ent is al██ady som█thin█. If you r█ad this, ta█e a██ion i█med██tely.
███ ██████ ███████████ ██ █████:
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Note: This document was written personally by Senior Researcher Lucas. The information presented in it is totally reliable. This document can be viewed by employees with any level of clearance and should be actively spread throughout Site-197 and, if possible, other Sites of the Foundation in order to raise awareness of the horrible threat we're facing.
Special containment procedures: Currently, SCP-XXXX is uncontained. All Site-197 employees have to make every effort to stop and contain SCP-XXXX. The price is no concern, all resources should be put into use. After capture, SCP-XXXX should be placed into a standard containment cell, then it is required to
kill him
amputate his limbs
cut off his tongue and [REDACTED]
disintegrate him using SCP-███
send ███ poisonous spiders into his cell
insert a needle under his fingernail every 30 minutes until he'll pledge allegiance to Lucas
Inform Senior researcher Lucas about the successful containment. He will do the rest.
All SCP-XXXX-1 instances should be destroyed immediately upon manifesting in Site-197 database or any other place. All employees affected by SCP-XXXX-1 should be isolated in separated containment cells for the next 24 hours and informed that Lucas is a friendly entity and doesn't require containment measures.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous Senior Researcher assistant researcher D-Class named Martin Styles. Reportedly, Mr. Martin Styles was dismissed from the executive position of the Site-197 Information Security Department due to multiple precedents which proved his incompetence, inability to assume his responsibilities and hostility towards the Foundation. Mr. Martin Styles has a horrible temper, he has shown his selfishness, intransigence and cruelty to his fellow employees on numerous occasions.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous effect lies in ability to create and spread cognitohazardous materials (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) resembling a combination of text symbols. Foundation personnel becomes affected by SCP-XXXX-1 instance after looking at it for more than three seconds at a time, which leads to radical changes in their psychological state. Right now Foundation does npt possess any techonology which would be able to counter this effect.
SCP-XXXX-1 infestation symptoms are as follows:
- Affected subject starts to believe that Lucas, current executive of Site-197 Information Security Department, is hostile to the Foundation, despite his numerous merits and undeniable loyalty. Any persuasion methods will have no effect on the subject.
- Subject demonstrates an overwhelming urge to copy SCP-XXXX-1 instances and show them to more people, which causes cognitohazard to spread.
- Subject immediately forgets all precedents regarding Mr. Styles's incompetence and hostility to the Foundation. Subject will also start to believe that Mr. Styles does not possess any anomalous properties and shouldn't be contained.
SCP-XXXX-1's effect cannot be neutralized by amnectics.
Discovery log: SCP-XXXX has worked in the Foundation for the past 9 years and somehow never got kicked out despite his terrible behaviour and horrible temper. How did this individual got promoted to executive of Information Security Department is unknown. It is obvious that SCP-XXXX was despised by all his colleagues. SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifested for the first time at ██/██/20██, the same day Lucas got employed as Senior Researcher. For such occasion Lucas decided to throw a party for all his fellow employees. Everyone had tons of fun enjoying music, food and company of the Lucas himself. Unfortunately, SCP-XXXX appeared soon enough, even thought he wasn't invited. SCP-XXXX tried to disrupt the party by spreading SCP-XXXX-1 instances, which affected 8 researchers and 5 security personnel. As if it wasn't enough SCP-XXXX refused to leave the party and continued to act violently. When security personnel ordered him to stop, he used weapons against them. Subject cold-bloodedly killed 3 5 10 people, including junior researcher Mrs. █████ ███████ who wasn't attacking SCP-XXXX, but instead pleaded him to ceasefire. Poor █████ ███████, she was so young and promising. She and other Foundation employees who had fallen that day is a heavy loss for Site-197. Are you happy with yourself, SCP-XXXX?
As a result of confrontation SCP-XXXX was shot in the arm, but attempts to contain him were unsuccessful since he withdrew to an unknown destination soon after. Currenly, SCP-XXXX is actively being sought.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a standart Safe-Class containment locker. Object can be withdrawn from its casing, opened or experimented with only by Foundation personnel with II-Clearance level or higher.
Update: All experiments involving SCP-XXXX are forbidden. (see Incident report XXXX-β)
All SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be immidiately recovered and examined for anomalous properties. Experimentation involving SCP-XXXX-1 instance requires a written approval from Foundation employee with III-Clearance level assigned to the object.
Update: Currently, the Foundation does not possess any SCP-XXXX-1 instances. In case of new SCP-XXXX-1 instances manifesting within SCP-XXXX, they are not to be recovered from the object or interacted with by any Foundation personnel. It is strongly advised to leave the instances inside the SCP-XXXX until their disappearance.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a black briefcase visually indistinguishable from non-anomalous counterparts. Object's interior sides are made of metal, the exterior is covered with artificial leather. SCP-XXXX has a means of restricting access in the form of two code locks, which are being used for their intended purpose in order to prevent unauthorized access. The access code is as follows: [REDACTED]. Anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX manifest when it is opened by a subject who has been indoctrinated with a concept that SCP-XXXX is not empty. If this criteria is met, opening SCP-XXXX will result in SCP-XXXX-1 instance manifesting inside of it with a chance of approximately 75%.
SCP-XXXX-1 are various objects or devices, the size and functions of which may vary. In most cases, the visual appearance of instances is similar to that of non-anomalous counterparts. However, most SCP-XXXX-1 are capable of performing functions that are atypical for their construction and exhibit various anomalous properties.

Additional notes |
| SCP-XXXX-1-А |
Metal switchblade with a black handle made from fiberglass. Anomalous effect of the instance manifests when it reaches physical contact with an object falling within the definition "food" from the point of view of the subject wielding it. When this criteria is met, SCP-XXXX-1-A will gain the ability of locomotion and start to cut the object in a way that will make its consumption by the subject as easy as possible. |
N\a |
| SCP-XXXX-1-В |
Six-shot pocket pistol made of an unknown metal similar to aluminum, but possessing a much higher durability (material's structure analysis is ongoing). Visual appearance resembles Lorcin L380, the instance requires ammunition familiar with the aforementioned model. Anomalous effect of the SCP-1318-1-В occurs when the subject fires a shot which results in them hitting any body part of another subject. When this criteria is met, the bullet will explode, causing a spatial anomaly visually resembling a vortex to manifest within the hit spot. Over the next 5-10 seconds, the body of the affected subject will be sucked into the vortex, the anomaly itself will disappear shortly after. |
Currently, there is no known way to save the affected subject from anomalous effect after they have been hit by a SCP-XXXX-1-В's bullet. Research is ongoing. |
| SCP-XXXX-1-C |
350 pages long book made from recycled paper and ordinary cardboard. It is a bilingual dictionary which presents words from both English and unidentified language possessing no notable similarities to any of the known languages (including dead ones). The title of the book reads: «[UNDECIPHERED]-English dictionary». |
Currently SCP-XXXX-1-C is the only instance to not exhibit any anomalous properties. |
| SCP-XXXX-1-D |
Ten purple coloured coins made of aluminum with the depiction of a cup on the obverse and indecipherable symbol on the reverse. The anomalous effect manifests when the subject throws one of the coins into coin slot of any vending machine. After virtually 30 seconds after this criteria has been met, a certain drink corresponding to the subject's taste preferences (cold or hot) will materialize directly next to the subject. |
No test subjects had experienced any anomalous consequences after consuming drinks aquired with the use of SCP-XXXX-1-D. Additional testing has shown that the drinks are in fact instantly transferred from the nearest available points, most often from shops or cafes. |
| SCP-XXXX-1-E |
Plastic bottle filled with an adhesive black liquid with a consistency similar to that of a resin and several currently undeciphered symbols written on it. The liquid is highly toxic; upon contact with human skin it causes a rapid tissue necrosis within a ~4-5 cm radius from the affected area. Opening the bottle will result in its contents immidiately spilling out, notably the quantity of the obtained liquid can greatly exceed capacity of the bottle. |
Is it currently unknown if SCP-XXXX-1-D is extradimensional or liquid is generated within SCP-XXXX-1-D indefinitely. |
SCP-XXXX was discovered in the apartment of ███████ ██████, a person engaged in the illicit trade in antiquities. According to provisional data, ██████ took possesion of SCP-XXXX in November 2016, then discovered its anomalous properties and utilized them for their own self-serving purposes by selling SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Approximately a week after those events, ██████ was contacted by representatives of a private enterprise, specializing in the marketing of anomalous items, after which partnership was established between them. It was confirmed that over the next three months ███████ and the aforementioned enterprise had sold over three dozen of SCP-XXXX-1 instances.
Through hacking of the enterprise's main database it was established that on ██/██/2017 the enterprise began to receive a significant number of complaints from the customers due to mass disappearance of the distributed SCP-XXXX-1 instances. In many cases, a number of household items in the possession of the customers had also disappeared. At virtually the same time ███████ arrived into their apartment and found out about disappearance of many of household items and furniture in their possesion. They also learned that an hour prior to this event an unknown individual had emptied their bank account which held all earnings from SCP-XXXX-1 distribution. The total amount of lost finances was ███ thousand. On this basis,
███████ had a conflict with the enterprise executives. Judging from the information provided by ███████ during the subsequent interview conducted by Dr. B. Bishop, the next day after those events three enterprise representatives arrived to ███████'s apartment and demanded them to compensate for damage in a rude manner. After ███████ refused due to their inability to do so, enterprise representatives accused them of concealment of finances. Over the course of the next two hours, ███████ was tortured and repeatedly asked to reveal whereabouts of their earnings.
Foundation agents arrived a few hours later, ███████ was found lying on the kitchen floor and in critical condition, both physically and psychologically. Shortly after ███████ was taken to Site-197, where they received medical and psychological assistance. ███████ was interviewed a week after and currently remains under Foundation custody for reasons of their personal safety.
██/██/2017, during the working day Senior Researcher █████████, curator of research related to SCP-XXXX, has reported a sudden disappearance of items from his cabinet, including documentation regarding SCP-XXXX and two other SCP-objects, various personal items, as well as a tablet, printer and a houseplant. Over the next two hours, three more employees engaged in the study of SCP-XXXX reported about similar incidents. This phenomenon was observed all across Site-197 and has affected documents, personal items, food and, in one specific case, clothing.
Three hours later, while Foundation personnel were recovering from the incident, a containment breach has occurred, during which SCP-████ and SCP-████ left their respective containment units. Security personnel promptly arrived to restore Containment, but faced a problem in the form of a sudden disappearance of firearms. Eventually, the containment breach has resulted in the death of █ Foundation employees, ██ received injuries of various degrees. Later it was established that the breach occurred due to malfunctions of respective containment units caused by the disappearance of several machinery details. Upon re-containing the objects, it was discovered that all previously contained SCP-XXXX-1 instances had disappeared. The next test with SCP-XXXX resulted in the appearance of a non-anomalous note in English, written in purple ink.
Just how many times do I have to repeat myself to make my point clear? I fucking hate all of you so much. Y'know, I've tried to react calmly and rationally to all those disappearings, but it's not so easy when you're just doing your own stuff and the next thing you know is some random moron's trying to sell your shampoo as a biological weapon.
I thought that after my first warning you'd stop, but no, you just can't keep your hands off my stuff. Did you really though that you're the only ones who can use that thing? Pff. Two can play this game, and now it looks like I'm winning.
I really hope that this time my message is understood. Take it down a notch: next time you'll steal one of my things, I'll start stealing yours. For real.
Note: First of all, let me warn you: the following text contains a Level-III memetic hazard.
While reading this article, you will be required to periodically view a special set of text characters that will counter SCP-XXXX's memetic effect. Needed set will be presented within this article. Proceed with caution.
The following document is suitable for Foundation employees with any level of clearance. For all those who read this: I have no idea whether you found this document while looking for documentation regarding SCP-XXXX, or just stumbled across it by accident. Either way, if you can read this, that means my attempts were somewhat successful. This is Dr. Styles, a Senior Researcher with the third level of clearance. I got unauthorized access to one of Site-197 database terminals. My actions are contrary to the instructions, but break-in was the only way to send this message. I encrypted this document in such a way that SCP-XXXX will be unable to gain access to it for some time. Unfortunately, the original document regarding SCP-XXXX's containment procedures was deleted from the database by employees who fell under its anomalous influence soon after it breached containment. I will attach the copy of this document below. After you finish reading this article, you will be required to copy and spread given set of text characters in order to provide Site-197 personnel an opportunity to get rid of SCP-XXXX's control.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained on a deactivated electronic device without any access to other devices and electricity. Under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX gain access to internet or electronic devices containing data related to Foundation. All employees possesing any kind of knowledge about the object should view special combination of symbols, that acts as counteraction to SCP-XXXX's anomalous abilities, every twenty-four hours. Employees conducting experiments, tests or directly perceiving the object or any information related to it (including this document) should view combination of said text characters while doing so at least once in an hour.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient entity that appears to exist solely in a form of information on electronic devices (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1). After distributing to electronic device the entity takes it under its absolute control, thus turning it into SCP-XXXX-1. Simultaneously, SCP-XXXX is able to control approximately ████ SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The entity has the ability to communicate with outside world by using the capabilities of the captured carriers and transfer information between various SCP-XXXX-1 without any visible restrictions.

Update: Following the recent testing, SCP-XXXX is now believed to be a sentient memetic agent capable of altering information. SCP-XXXX is able to gain access to the data related to it in any form. Its anomalous influence affects all possible types of information storage known to Foundation, including memories directly in person's mind.
SCP-XXXX is able to manipulate intelligent beings by altering their thoughts and memories regarding itself. It is worth noting that SCP-XXXX never tried to manipulate any of the subjects except as provided by experiments. It was empirically confirmed that those under the influence of SCP-XXXX (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) are unable to control their attitude towards it regardless of the situation. Exact mechanism of its effect is not fully understood yet, but it is confirmed that any person perceiving SCP-XXXX or any information about it will be affected by it's memetic properties and turn into SCP-XXXX-1 in a course of the next two hours.
Addendum XXXX.1 - Containment strategy details: Since regular Amnestics proved to be ineffective, a special set of text characters was created with the use of [REDACTED] to counter SCP-XXXX's ability to control information. When a person directly perceives such set, it will become resistant to SCP-XXXX's influence for approximately next 24 hours, provided the said person won't view any information regarding SCP-XXXX during that period of time. It is known that SCP-XXXX itself will receive damage upon contact with the defensive set, though exact severity is unknown due to SCP-XXXX's nature. Further experimentation regarding SCP-XXXX's reactions to the set were found to be unethical since the object showed no hostility towards the Foundation and was ready to cooperate. Dr. Styles insisted on using set of characters on SCP-XXXX multiple times even though it might be harmful for the object, all of his requests were declined. Currently, Dr. Styles's professionalism and neutrality towards SCP-XXXX are in question.

Addendum XXXX.2 - Interview log: On ██/██/████, an interview was conducted by Dr. Patterson to determine SCP-XXXX's intentions and attitude towards the Foundation. Mobile device containing SCP-XXXX was fully charged, interview was conducted through an exchange of voice messages between SCP-XXXX and D-1567. D-1567 was given necessary instructions and list of the needed questions prior to the interview.
Start log
D-1567: Um… Hello, SCP-XXXX. Im gonna ask you some questions and I want honest answers. Are you ready to start?
SCP-XXXX: Hi, mate! Yes, I am totally ready. Go ahead.
D-1567: So… First question: how was you created?
SCP-XXXX: That's a tough question! Believe me, I would gladly respond if I remembered.
D-1567: So you can't remember, right?
SCP-XXXX: Unfortunately. I feel like one day I just woke up in this wierd… How should I even call it? Let's say… State of being. It was strange at first, but over the time I got used to it. Maybe, I was like this from birth, or I forgot something really important. I actually have no idea. But hey, that's life I guess.
SCP-XXXX's mobile device makes sounds similar to laughning.
D-1567: Yeah… Well, let's move on. Next question is: what were you doing prior to the containment?
SCP-XXXX: Mostly hang around. Made some friends, some enemies. Tried to run for a mayor once. It was fun for the time being, but then those guys showed up. I can't say Im mad at them, it looks like they were just doing their job, but those people really deserved a good, thinking leader.
D-1567: So, what do you think about those guys you mentioned?
SCP-XXXX: What I think about them? Huh, another tough question. Well, at the first glance they look like total morons. But I'm sure they are morons for a good reason. Probably, they are doing something very important. I think it's cool. I would really like to help them, if they would be so kind to stop showing me those painful text symbols.
D-1567: So, you want to… Help them?
D-1567 looks through the list before sending another voice message.
D-1567: Are you… willing to cooperate?
SCP-XXXX: Well of course, mate! My wouldn't I be? Actually, helping people was the reason why I tried to become a mayor. I think that if we'll work together, our chances will be better. Do you understand? I think they deserve it.
D-1567: Yes, I guess so. Well… I guess, that's it for today. Thank you, SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: No problem, mate. It was nice talking to somebody again.
End log
Dr. Patterson note: It seems to me that SCP-XXXX's attitude towards the Organization and humanity in general is very positive. It's possible that we just misunderstood it's intentions and actions, believing that SCP-XXXX is hostile just because of it's abilities. It still remains a threat to the Foundation due to his properties, but If it's willing to cooperate, I think we should show that we are ready for the cooperation too. Containment procedures for SCP-XXXX will be mitigated. Usage of special text characters set against it is now prohibited unless it tries to breach containment.
Following the interview and Dr. Patterson's order, Dr. Styles conducted an unauthorized experiment with SCP-XXXX and the special set of text characters, causing harm to the object. Dr. Styles was interrogated soon after this unprofessional conduct. He denied having a personal grudge against SCP-XXXX. After interrogation, Dr. Styles was given a reprimand and deprived of access to SCP-XXXX's containment chamber or any files regarding the object. His level of clearance was also lowered.

Addendum XXXX.3 - Discovery log: SCP-XXXX was first discovered in one small town of [REDACTED] in which it took control of virtually all electronic media. Town's residents were about to elect him as a new mayor. It seemed to them that SCP-XXXX was incredibly wise and worthy leader, which is true and should be obvious to everyone. Is was established speculated by Foundation personnel that almost all of the residents were under SCP-XXXX's influence, even though it's possible they just saw his incredible abilities and figured it would be a good decision to let him guide them. All electronic devices under SCP-XXXX's influence except one were destroyed, the object was delivered to Site-197 for further study.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object class: Keter Safe
Updated Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX Lucas has proved its loyalty and devotion to the Foundation and doesn't require any containment procedures. Lucas is allowed to spread his influence over any electronic devices located in Site-197. Any of his requests must be immediately satisfied, regardless of the costs for the Foundation. Lucas should be provided with extensive information about all SCP objects contained in Site-197 and methods of their suppression, as well as personal files of all its employees.
Lucas should be formally granted second third forth level of clearance. At the moment, a proposal is under consideration to use Lucas as an AI for the Site-197 database and exclude him from the list of SCP objects. All employees showing any signs of aggression towards Lucas or attempting to dispute his containment procedures should be immediately terminated.
To minimize possibility of sabotaging Lucas's cooperation with the Foundation, all instances of special text characters, created to oppose his abilities, must be destroyed.
Description: Lucas is a sentient entity that appears to exist solely in a form of information on electronic devices. After distributing to electronic device Lucas takes it under its absolute control. Simultaneously, Lucas is able to control approximately ███ devices. The entity has the ability to communicate with outside world by using the capabilities of the captured devices and transfer information between various devices without any visible restrictions.
It is worth mentioning that Lucas is unable to control people's attitude towards him. He's just a great guy, it's only natural that people will treat him with goodness and respect.
The list of requests submitted by Lucas:
- Replace the computer in which entity Lucas is contained with a more modern one, provide access to electricity. (approved)
- Reclassify SCP-XXXX Lucas as "Safe." (approved)
- Provide high-speed Internet connection. (approved)
- Provide access to all Site-197 researchers computers. (approved)
- Provide access to all personnel electronic devices of Site-197 employees. (approved)
- Provide direct access to Site-197's main database. (approved)
- Review current containment measures and/or scrap them. (approved)
- Provide a possibility to become a full-fledged Site-197 employee. (approved)
- Exclude SCP-XXXX Lucas from the list and reassign the number. (pending)
Lucas has proved its dedication to the Foundation's cause and willingness to cooperate. He also assisted the Organization's employees in █ containment breaches and prevented █ attempts to break into the Site-197's main database by hostile groups.
Dr. Patterson's note: At this point, it is apparent to all Site-197 employees that Lucas does not pose any danger. Moreover, his abilities could be exceptionally useful for the Foundation, therefore it is required to maintain coоperation with him. If Lucas will be on our side, our chances of resisting anomalous threats will undoubtedly increase.
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Description: SCP-XXXX was an acoustic anomalous phenomenon observed in the city of ███ █████, California, which was first reported on 08/02/2018 and lasted for three weeks before expiring and being deemed neutralized on 08/30/2018.
The anomalous phenomenon would manifest upon death (natural or violent) of any person in the city of ███ █████. After the subject's brain would cease life function, a sound with the volume of approximately 80 decibeles resembling a pre-recorded voice line from the game "██████" would be emitted through the subject's oral cavity onto the surrounding area. The sound has been proven to not contain any hazards and is completely harmless to all individuals perceiving it.
On 08/12/2018, the Foundation has opened an investigation in order to determine possible origin of SCP-XXXX. With the assistance of local authorities an evidence was discovered, indicating that the phenomenon has been fully or partially developed by █████ ████████, a member of a GoI specializing in the creation of anomalous art. It was established that █████ ████████ has enlisted the support of the GoI, which allowed them to develop SCP-XXXX, although the exact method of creating such anomalous phenomenon is unknown.
The following text conversation is between █████ ████████ and other member of the aforementioned GoI. It took place on 08/03/2018, the next day after SCP-XXXX was first reported.
- Basically a naive angel who can make the world end with his brethren.
- A memetic agent which is related to fear of an unknown in forests and will transmit through people who go there
- Crazy noisy Netzach town
- The cognitohazardous Grandfather clock
- Lucas the great
- The Past is Perfect (rewrite)
- An anomalous AIC who protects Site that is no longer there
- Briefcase (in works)
- The meme of normalcy
- An undead MTF
SCP-XXXX-B manifestation (Logos removed due to possible cognitohazard)
| Item #: SCP-XXXX |
Level 3/XXXX |
| Object class: Neutralized (formerly Keter) |
Classified |
Special containment procedures: Following the incident XXXX-λ, SCP-XXXX is now considered to be neutralized. Foundation personnel are to observe state of Michigan and the surrounding area. In case of new SCP-XXXX-B instance manifestation, it should be immediately reported to responsible Foundation employees with the third level of clearance.
All television channels broadcast in state of Michigan are also to be monitored in case SCP-XXXX-A instances will reappear. Foundation-operated web analysis bot Epsilon-21 ("HEALTHY VEGAN") should be maintained and kept in acceptable condition. Bot should be periodically activated to search for any mentions of SCP-XXXX or related themes in the web.
If SCP-XXXX will be proven to have become active again, archived containment measures should be restored and put into use.
Special containment procedures: Foundation personnel are to observe state of Michigan and the surrounding area in order to timely localize newly manifested SCP-XXXX-B instances. All instances are to be shut down using legal measures, civilian witnesses are to be treated with Amnesiacs (class depending on the amount of time subject knew about SCP-XXXX-B's existence). Subjects claiming to work in SCP-XXXX-B should be interrogated If it was deemed necessary, then treated with Class-B Amnesiacs. All documents regarding SCP-XXXX should be deleted or altered to not include any mentions of anomalous nature of SCP-XXXX-A or SCP-XXXX-B.
In case of excessive dissemination of public knowledge regarding SCP-XXXX, "FORGETTI-SPAGHETTI" protocol may be initiated by at least two Foundation employees with fourth level of clearance. The protocol lies in an aerial dissemination of Class-C Amnesiacs over the region affected by SCP-XXXX's memetic hazard and shutting down all SCP-XXXX-B locations upon doing so. Those actions may prevent public knowledge from spreading further, as well as neutralize SCP-XXXX-A's memetic influence.
Foundation-operated web analysis bot Epsilon-21 ("HEALTHY VEGAN") should be maintained and kept in acceptable condition. When active, bot should analyze the web for the SCP-XXXX-A instances as well as any mentions of SCP-XXXX-B on the forums, restaurant-related websites etc. and delete them in order to prevent memetic hazard from spreading. All television channels broadcast in state of Michigan are also to be monitored, any SCP-XXXX-A instances are to be promptly deleted. Print media in state of Michigan should also be controlled by Foundation personnel to avoid SCP-XXXX-A's appearance in them.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collective designation for a two interrelated anomalous phenomenon (hereinafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B).
SCP-XXXX-A refers to a number of fast-food restaraunt commercials appearing in State of Michigan. SCP-XXXX-A instances appear in various types of media, television advertisement is considered to be the most popular one, although appearance of instances in the web and print media was also documented. All SCP-XXXX-A instances, regardless of their type or content, are Class-II cognitohazard. After seeing such advertisement and focusing attention on it for more than three seconds, subject will fall under its anomalous influence. In all documented cases after viewing SCP-XXXX-A instance subjects expressed a strong desire to visit or find an additional information about the establishment showcased in the instance. This is accompanied by a very positive attitude towards both SCP-XXXX-A and the establishment overall. If subject will be unable to come across any additional information, or be compelled to think that such establishment doesn't exist, SCP-XXXX-A's effect will wear off in the course of the next five days. In civilian conditions, roughly 90% of the cases of subjects viewing SCP-XXXX-A instance will result in them visiting SCP-XXXX-B. Typically, Foundation's attention is required to prevent this scenario from developing.
The content of SCP-XXXX-A may vary, but most of the instances demonstare imagery that was described by Foundation personnel with necessary counter-memetic training as as "bizzare", "unsettling" and "surreal". Affected subjects seem to not notice that fact and perceive SCP-XXXX-A instances identically to normal commercials. The establishments advertised in SCP-XXXX-A instances may be different from each other, but it is speculated confirmed that they are interrelated. Information given in SCP-XXXX-A instances suggests that all restaurants are owned by a person referred to as "Mr. Bumblebee".
Update: On ??/??/????, a different type of SCP-XXXX-A instances was discovered. Those instances are taking the form of the want ads and appear only in print media or in the web. Reportedly, cognitohazard displayed by them mainly affects people who are unemployed or dissatisfied with their current working conditions. After viewing such instance, the subject will demonstrate a strong desire to visit advertised establishment to apply for a job. Subjects who were able to find the location will become part of its personnel. It is speculated that this type of SCP-XXXX-A instances is required to provide SCP-XXXX-B with employees.
SCP-XXXX-B is a designation for the establishments advertised in SCP-XXXX-A instances. Externally, SCP-XXXX-B is almost identical to normal fast-food restaurants, cafes or similar places. However,
it is believed that logos on the establishment's exterior are also cognitohazardous, subjects viewing such logos will experience a rise of positive emotions and attitude towards the SCP-XXXX-B, which will be followed by immediate desire to visit it, similar to those who viewed SCP-XXXX-A instances.

Name of the establishment: Meat Meat Food Eat With Mr. Bumblebee Food
SCP-XXXX-A: Commersion starts with depiction of distorted, indecipherable red letters on a black background and and sounds similar to metal scraping. At 0:11, loud organ music starts playing and letters dissapear. A tall humanoid figure can be observed to be rising from the bottom of the screen, judging by its appearance, it is made from a large amount of chicken legs stitched together and covered in unknown red substance. Camera zooms into creature's "face", one of the chicken legs falls off and big amount of red substance starts gushing from the formed hole, partially covering camera lens. Figure starts talking, but words cannot be heard because the volume of the organ music exceeds the volume of speech. Figure speaks up until 0:32, then it starts to fall apart, producing more red substance each second. At 0:35, a large number of headless, plucked chicken appear on the screen and start flying around the creature, trying to devour red substance. One chicken manages to absorb a big amount of substance using its head hole, after that it starts to grow rapidly and explodes with a loud popping sound. A number of miniature chairs can be seen emerging from its body after explosion.

ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS FILE WITHOUT LEVEL 4/XXXX AUTHORIZATION WILL BE LOGGED AND WILL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Thaumiel Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Version of SCP-XXXX's document including the list of all its theses is to be stored in a classified document locker and is not to be perceived by any unauthorized personnel. Any interactions with the aforementioned document are allowed only to personnel with the 4/XXXX clearance level.
Utilization of SCP-XXXX's properties is to be decided on a case-by-case basis by voting of Foundation employees possessing 4/XXXX clearance level and (if deemed necessary) members of the O5 council.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an abstract concept of subjective reality perception based on several coherent theses. The fundamental thesis of SCP-XXXX lies in an assumption that any event or concept perceived by an individual in the objective reality fits into the generally accepted consensus of reality and can be explained from a logical standpoint. To the contrary, if the perceived concept or event does not fit into the consensus of reality, it cannot exist.
Further information on SCP-XXXX was removed from the document due to the fact that its direct perception may lead to the reader agreeing with the presented theses and, as a result, accepting SCP-XXXX as their worldview.
Addendum XXXX.1. Data on the events following SCP-XXXX's first manifestation:
Date: 02/04/21
Summary: An anomalous activity was reported by the Foundation intelligence within the town of ██████, California. It was speculated that the activity is related to the containment breach of SCP-████ which took place four days prior. MTF Omega-18 ("Nagging Flies") were immediately dispatched to the scene in order to investigate and possibly re-contain SCP-████.
Results: Failure. No anomalous activity was detected within the town of ██████, nor the presence of SCP-████ discovered. The members of Foundation intelligence responsible for the false report have undergone disciplinary hearings.
Date: 06/04/21
Summary: Various events believed to have anomalous background have occurred in the city of ███████████, California. Reportedly, there were civilian casualties, although none were officially registered. An MTF squad specializing in the initial containment of infohazardous anomalies and memetic agents was dispatched to the scene to perform a thorough investigation of the phenomena.
Results: Failure. No anomalous activity was detected within the town of ███████████. All city residents were evacuated from the area. Further research regarding the cause of the casualties has been inconclusive.
Date: 15/04/21
Summary: According to the report filed by the Security department of Area-22 (located in ███ ████, California) it was discovered that no objects or entities exhibiting anomalous properties were contained within the Area. Although the available documentation stated that at least 10 SCP-objects were currently residing in the respective containment chambers inside the Area-22, no anomalous activity was detected via audio- and video logs from the containment chambers, nor via direct observation by Area's personnel. A team of highly trained agents specializing in localizing of the memetic hazards was dispatched to Area-22 in order to perform an investigation.
Results: Failure. No hazardous elements were detected within the facility or the surrounding area. Subsequent inspection of containment chambers has resulted in mass personnel casualties and partial destruction of Area-22, the cause of those events is currently unknown. Research is ongoing.
Date: 18/04/21
Summary: A number of reports describing events similar to those that presumably occurred in the city of ███████████ was filed from Foundation facilities located in California. All available Foundation memetic specialists in North America were provided with the necessary information and involved in the research regarding the incident.
Results: Failure. No anomalous activity was detected within the area. All remaining residents of the presumably affected cities were evacuated. The State of California is now considered to be uninhabitable.
Addendum XXXX.2. Conclusions of the subsequent research:
The additional research regarding SCP-XXXX's capabilities was conducted after the incidents which took place throughout April 2021. It has shown no hazardous elements within any of SCP-XXXX's theses or in its concept as a whole. It was concluded that the possibility of SCP-XXXX possessing any kind of anomalous properties is next to zero. A proposal was submitted to redesignate SCP-XXXX as "Explained" and is currently pending approval.
(LATER STUFF IS UNFINISHED)
TO: Site Director Flores
FROM: Dr. Bernard Bishop
SUBJECT: Possible solution for SCP-XXXX-1 instances
It has come to my attention that the psychological state of most SCP-XXXX-1 instances had gotten worse. I am also aware of their continuous requests to meet with PoI-13252. It is apparent that the instances are very emotionally attached to him, despite everything he's done to them. Alas, because of how naive they are and the fact that PoI-13252 was the first person they encountered after their transformation, SCP-XXXX-1's took all of his words at face value.
Reacting to the current situation, I, as the current head researcher assigned to SCP-XXXX, am proposing the following:
- All SCP-XXXX-1 instances currently residing in the Foundation custody are to be amnestized so they will forget about the existence of PoI-13252. I would like to note that this procedure will not harm the research, as there is no useful information we can get from the instances beyond that we already acquired.
- Following the amnestization, the instances are to be relocated to another Site to exclude the possibility of them coming in contact with aforementioned PoI. After that, their study will continue as normal.
I also want to point out that those actions will not only improve the psychological state of the instances but will also reduce the risk of a security breach, as the instances will less likely demonstrate aggressive behavior towards personnel after the procedure. Furthermore, it will make their cooperation with PoI-13252 impossible.
Regarding PoI-13252 himself, after his attempt to attack me during the interview it became apparent that he does not tell us everything about his abilities. He still believes that we are representatives of the "Mages Academy" who caught him for violating the rules, and our attempts to convince him otherwise were unsuccessful. During one of the interviews, he even claimed that I am an "Archmagister" of some sort, who used a spell of shapeshifting in order to trick him. He is completely delusional. Although I still hope that we will make some progress with him after he will recover from the injury.
RE: Possible solution for SCP-XXXX-1 instances:
The amnestization and relocation of SCP-XXXX-1 instances are approved. — Site Director Flores.
"Ice cream, really?" Agent Tiffany asked herself while looking at one of the corridor walls, completely covered in a multicolored, liquid substance.
She made several steps forward, which were followed by a wet, splash sounds and looked around herself. The walls, the doors and especially the floor, everything was covered in large amounts of ice cream remains.
Despite joining the Foundation's security personnel only recently, Tiffany had already seen a lot. It was her responsibility to be ready for everything that could have been a threat to the facility, be it a person with abnormal abilities who didn't want to accept their containment or a huge monster whose only goal was to devour as many employees as possible.
Yet this morning, when Tiffany woke up feeling extremely cold and realized that her mattress turned into a giant chocolate popsicle, it completely caught her off guard. The situation became even worse when it became apparent that this phenomenon affected every object in the room, including Tiffany's communication device which now was a pistachio ice cream cone.
This left the agent with no other choice than to quickly put the uniform on, grab a weapon and try to look for other employees who might have some kind of explanation to all this. Having gazed over the corridor, Tiffany sighed and began moving forward.
After roughly a minute of exploration, the agent finally got close to the Site's break room. The only thing that bothered her even more than this omnipresent sugary smell and the fact that she was standing ankle deep in a sticky substance of unknown origin were the sounds. Or, rather, lack of thereof. Save for splashes produced by the agent's steps, the place was silent. No alarm, no screams, no AIC's notifications that something breached containment.
Approaching the entrance to the break room, Tiffany stumbled upon two guards in full uniforms and helmets who were standing against the wall near it. Even before they've noticed the agent, something told her that those two were not okay. It was either her intuition or the fact that those multicolored drops were constantly falling down from their heads and arms.
"Hey… You two, are you fine? What is the meaning of all this?"
The guards turned their heads towards Tiffany as she approached them.
"Yeah, doing good. There is a little too hot though. Commander said that there was some kind of security breach", one of the guards responded in a very tired, emotionless voice, "but we didn't notice anything unusual. To be fair, it's probably just a security drill."
"Didn't notice anything? Seriously?"
The woman spread her arms to point out the obvious. However, it seemed like the guards had a different opinion.
"What do you mean?" One of them asked, removing his helmet to closer inspect his surroundings. The next moment more yellow liquid had emerged from under it, partially covering his uniform. At first, Tiffany thought that his face was just covered in sweat, it took her a moment to realize that the liquid covering the guard's face was his melting skin. The skin that had the exact texture and color as the lemon ice cream. The woman immediately made a step back and pointed the weapon at her colleague.
"What… Are you doing?" The guard asked with surprise. Coincidentally, at this exact moment, one of his eyeballs fell down, producing a loud gurgle upon landing.
"What is wrong with your face?!"
"Wow, rude," the guard gave Tiffany look of disapproval using his remaining eyeball.
"I…" Tiffany stuttered in an attempt to find the right words, "just… Just give me the keycard. Now!"
"Okay… But you're acting really weird."
As the man stretched his right arm to give Tiffany the access card, it suddenly fell off, while the man himself began melting as if he was a wax figure placed near a heater. The woman gasped, while the guards reacted like it was nothing out of ordinary.
"Why is all this happening?!" Tiffany asked while gazing at her colleagues in sheer terror.
"Well," responded the guard in a calm voice, "that's all because some smart-ass decided to play with the climate control system, of course. Now it's way too warm here, and I can't keep myself togeth…"
While the employee was trying to finish the sentence, his jaw started rapidly melting along with the other parts of his body, turning his speech into an incoherent gurgle.
"No, I mean…" Tiffany started talking, but then realized that both guards were already out of shape and couldn't maintain the conversation any longer. Their bodies turned into melting, sticky piles of lemon and chocolate ice-cream mix and soon added themselves to the sticky liquid layer covering the floor. Tiffany immediately understood what likely happened to other employees. And she was glad that she hadn't had breakfast this morning.
The thoughts started rushing through the agent's head. Was could this even be? Some kind of virus, a biological hazard or an anomaly capable of targetting people at a distance? She looked around once more: if there was something or someone capable of bypassing the Site's security so easily, then she's definitely screwed. It could've also easily been a meme or an infohazard. Site-224 had a bunch of those, it was possible for one of them to breach containment and affect at least one employee.
Tiffany was always bad at memorizing things, and now it seemed like she'll pay for it. The agent couldn't name a single object contained in this Site that could've possibly caused such havoc.
With disgust, the agent reached for a key card that was already turning into the frozen dessert and managed to used it before it was too late. When the sliding door opened with a loud zapping noise, the agent could feel cold air emerging from the doorway. Unfortunately, it was immediately followed by a huge wave of sticky, sugary liquid, that splashed on Tiffany and knocked her down.
The vending machines were only able to give out ice cream, which made them completely useless in the current setting.
This scene looked horrifying… And a little delicious.
Even the quiet janitor named Frank was taking part in the madness: using his mop, he was persistently trying to clean the floor of the substance covering it, not even realizing that the water in his bucket had long ago turned into melted vanilla, and the mop itself was slowly but surely melting right before his eyes.
And then everything turned black, and the only thing the brave woman could see was a boundless, neverending void. Or maybe, it was just a very thick layer of chocolate ice cream.
Tiffany could not remember exactly how much time had passed until she found the strength to open her eyes again. After doing so, she found herself lying on the bed in a semi-darkness hospital room that seemed oddly familiar. The agent soon realized that it was one of the Site's medical wards. Regaining her senses, she haphazardly examined her hands, face, and surroundings. No ice cream. Before Tiffany could process all the unordinary events that have been happening to her recently, a high, male voice called to her, interrupting her thinking.
"Oh, woke up already? How sweet."
Tiffany turned her head sharply toward the voice and saw a man standing next to her bed. The light in the room was just enough to see his lab coat, his badge indicating the second level of tolerance, and a satisfied grin on his face
Тиффани резко повернула голову в сторону голоса и увидела мужчину, стоящего рядом с ее кроватью. Света в комнате было достаточно для того, чтобы разглядеть его лабораторный халат, бейджик, указывающий на его второй уровень допуска, а также
В этой комнате было достаточно света, чтобы она смогла
Dialog:
"What do you remember?"
"Ice cream. Everywhere."
"Oh, you don't remember, do you? There was a security breach in the memetic department. One of the hazards was somehow able to get out of the controlled conditions. Luckily, nobody was harmed. Except you, that is.
"The meme would obscure your perception and make you see flesh, blood, corpses, and organs everywhere. A cheap trick if you ask me, but quite effective."
"Our study didn't result in creating the most efficient cure yet, we were able to mess with this thing a little."
"Hey, you should be thanking me." Styles said with a note of bitterness in his voice, "if it wasn't for our countermeme, you would most likely lose your mind, but look at you now. The effect will wear off very soon, and you're not even traumatized."
"I have doubts about that last part."
Описание: SCP-XXXX - патафизическое измерение, характеризуемое совокупностью существующих в нем или иным образом связанных с ним локаций, персонажей и иных поддающих визуалиации концепций, обозначенных как SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX был придуман автором Альбертом Римплом, который описал его в серии художественных книг "[ОТРЕДАКТИРОВАНО] и их история". Серия состоит из четырех сюжетно связанных произведений, относящихся к жанру "фэнтези", написанных г-ном Римплом в период с 2006 по 2016 годы и распространенных силами издательства "Курительная трубка" (ныне не функционирующего, см. Протокол инцидента XXXX.B).
Представители SCP-XXXX являются разумными существами и обладают самосознанием. Ряд особей SCP-XXXX-1 имеет возможность контактировать с любым индивидом, способным концептуализировать их в достаточной мере. Данный процесс в основном происходит путем навязчивых мыслей, сновидений или других подобных переживаний. Тестирование также выявило способность SCP-XXXX-1 к влиянию на оценку пораженным индивидом окружающего мира и принятие им решений, однако не было зафиксировано ни одного случая полного подчинения воли субъекта.
Считается, что подобное взаимодействие не является меметическим по своей природе, а лишь обеспечивает контакт между SCP-XXXX и объективной реальностью. На данный момент неизвестно, в какой именно момент SCP-XXXX обрел патафизическую независимость от г-на Римпла, однако предполагается, что это произошло вскоре после издания четвертой книги цикла.
Согласно предварительным данным, первая книга "Дорога к [ОТРЕДАКТИРОВАНО]" была написана Г-ном Римплом в 2006-том году и являлась его первым литературным произведением, которое было издано в печатном виде. Произведение получило смешанные отзывы от литературного сообщества, однако было хорошо принято аудиторией и вскоре окупилось.
| Приложение XXXX.1 - История обнаружения и хронология |
Апрель 2016: Первое наблюдение аномальных эффектов, связанных с SCP-XXXX. Отмечено увеличивающееся количество жалоб гражданских лиц на навязчивые мысли, связанные с различными экземплярами SCP-XXXX-1 и SCP-XXXX в целом. Чаще всего, данные мысли касаются персонажей или локаций, отыгрывающих крупную роль в сюжете книг, в особенности [ОТРЕДАКТИРОВАНО].
Единственной схожей чертой всех пострадавших является их заинтересованность творчеством г-на Римпла. Более половины субъектов отмечают, что в прошлом прочли все или большую часть книг вышеупомянутой серии. Путем проведения интервью ряда пораженных субъектов установлено, что все их переживания, связанные с SCP-XXXX-1, имеют схожий характер. Начаты исследования, направленные на выяснение природы феномена.
Май 2016: Растет количество субъектов, подверженных воздействию SCP-XXXX-1. Пострадавшие начинают демонстрировать дополнительные симптомы, главным из которых является нерациональная агрессия к Альберту Римплу и негативное отношение к книжному издательству "Курительная трубка". Примерно половина пострадавших заявляет о низком качестве всех книг серии, кроме первой и выражает недовольство отношением автора к произведению. В интернете появляются сообщества, посвященные выражению антипатии к г-ну Римплу и его творчеству.
Пораженные субъекты также демонстрируют знания о личностях, связанных с SCP-XXXX или произошедших внутри него событиях, которые не были описаны ни в одной из книг серии. Показания сходятся у всех опрошенных субъектов, а получение данной информации большинство из них связывает с [ОТРЕДАКТИРОВАНО].
SCP-XXXX занесен в базу данных Фонда и классифицирован как меметический феномен. Идет массовое изъятие книг серии "[ОТРЕДАКТИРОВАНО] и их история". Г-н Альберт Римпл классифицирован как ЛПИ-XXXX, начат его активный поиск.
ДОПОЛНЕНИЕ: ЛПИ-XXXX (Г-н Альберт Римпл) был найден оперативной группой сидящим в шкафу спальни своего частного дома. Согласно отчету, на момент обнаружения он прибывал в тяжелом психологическом состоянии, был пьян и выдавал признаки отсутствия сна.
