Murder mystery where 70-80 yr old Foundation employees begin to start dropping dead, all senior researchers with long and storied histories in Memetics. The Foundation suspects sabotage, and investigates, finally discovering that the culprit was a defective meme, thought to be inactive, that actually kills after 50 years.

Item #: SCP-XXXX-EX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Protocol: Though typical erroneous productions would either be disposed or archived without SCP desgination through the Counter-Memetics arm of the Records and Information Security Administration, recent events have led to CM-RAISA to suspend their archival policy in favor of SCP designation for SCP-XXXX-EX.

The production is to be sealed within a manila envelope labeled with EYES-UNSAFE standard cognition warnings and placed with the XLVI reference files in a red folder. Any handling of the production is to be done with vis-safe memetic blinders and without any visual recording equipment present nearby.

For those who believe themselves to be affected by SCP-XXXX-EX, counselling and therapeutic aids are available. Individuals should check with their provider to see if these services are covered under their current plan.

Description: SCP-XXXX-EX is a defective memetic visual kill-agent from Berryman-Langford Series XLVI. Based on other kill-agents in the XXVI series, SCP-XXXX-EX contains a complexity curve of 0.0+5.3i and a hypothetical specific cognitive resistance target of 0.01p¹. However, due to the nature of the kill-agent these values are unable to be verified in a laboratory setting.

Like all other XLVI series kill-agents, SCP-XXXX-EX theoretically targets the amygdala, inducing the production of norepinephrine, cortisol, and other various hormones. The stimulation provokes general fear responses, mania, paranoia, and invariably fatal embolisms and cardiac arrest.

The XLVI series — produced in 1972 — was notable as it was the first kill-agent series to have a time delay between exposure and death along with a resistance to amnestic treatment, which was a large obstacle in time-delay kill agent production at that time. Each agent in the series was designed to trigger a preset time after exposure, ranging from ten seconds to two years, with a variety of applications in the field. SCP-XXXX (XLVI-50S) was designed to activate fifty seconds after exposure.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: A written copy of SCP-XXXX and Langdell's On Paradoxical Truth is to be kept in Site-76 for preservation purposes and semantic research. Handling and transport is to be done with cog-haz blinders, and cross-testing with other legalistic anomalies is restricted unless with express permission from Assistant Director Saunders.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a logically coherent, closed-form, infectious, semantic legal argument that is incapable of being disproven or superceded by another argument, in essence perceived to be ontologically true to those exposed. SCP-XXXX only exists within English common law and to a lesser extent in the corpus juris civilis.² Efforts to recreate the thought-form in other extant or synthetic legal systems in a lab setting have experienced limited success.

SCP-XXXX may be injected into a broader or overarching argument and impart its subjectively ontological truth onto the broader argument as a modified modus ponens³, even if the second argument is, by itself, false. As such, utilizing SCP-XXXX, an individual could convince another of the truth of even self-evident paradoxes.

This effect may be mitigated through Class-B amnestics or further use of SCP-XXXX to prove the negation of the prior argument. Subjects briefed in such a matter are able to recognize the illogicality of their former belief, but remain vulnerable to further SCP-XXXX proliferation, whether by a third party or self-inflicted. If the exposed individual is a trained legal professional, their mental state is prone to rapid deterioration and total frame-of-reference-collapse from SCP-XXXX justification.

SCP-XXXX is believed to have been first discovered by Christopher Columbus Langdell, a prominent American legal theorist and formalist scholar. Langdell was a proponent of "law as science" and the Socratic method, and held the ideal of law, the application thereof, and jurists at-large to be objective and rational. In 1906, shortly before his death, Langdell published an article in the Harvard Law Review — a student-run law review — detailing the form and content of SCP-XXXX⁴, as well as the theoretical implications of its existence⁵. The issue was voluntarily retracted several weeks later by order of the United States government, with almost all surviving copies destroyed.

Subsequent leaks of the nature of SCP-XXXX and the first known use of the thought-form in court⁶ helped lead to the creation of the Court Reinforcement Act of 1910⁷ and the Defense Secrets Act of 1911⁸ to prevent misuse of SCP-XXXX in the American legal system. Other such laws were quickly instituted in most Commonwealth countries and Japan following WWII. Use of SCP-XXXX and general knowledge of the argument quickly became obscure after these laws were passed.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter Neutralized

Archived Special Containment Procedures: GPS trackers fastened to their abodomen, maximum of 200 specimens permitted in containment. Killed via incineration. This bespoke method of teleportation is minimally affected by Scranton anchors, meaning that effective methods of teleportation-inhibition are unreliable at best.

A juvenile Hemigrapsus specimen, found in the water cooler of the Site-34 rec room.

Archived Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for the species Hemigrapsus estellinesis, an extremely rare species of troglobitic crabs. SCP-XXXX instances can tolerate fresh water for long periods of time, but prefer to reside within hyper-saline water sources.

Due to a unique mutation of the chitin on the right pincer and joint, Hemigrapsus possesses the ability to fold space, allowing the species to teleport to any nearby water source, as part of a fight/flight response.

It is theorized that the mutation is relatively new—as the crabs have little control over their final destination—with target locations often ill-suited for the species, hazardous, or even lethal (e.g. a pot of boiling water). Additionally, due to the gregariousness of SCP-XXXX, mass teleportation events have been noted, most often resulting in mass die-offs.

SCP-XXXX is notable in both its cost of containment and in number of notable incidents and caused by the species' innate abilities, with $310 million dedicated to settlements and repairs due to SCP-XXXX breaches over the 2000-2010 period alone, which is the largest sum attributed to any anomaly in the American South, second on the continent overall.

The crabs were discovered after a colony was found within the water purification plant of Site-34 during routine maintenance in 1964, coinciding with the destruction of a nearby salt spring from the construction of a dike by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers .

Notable Incidents:

Location of Specimen	Cost (USD)	Notes
Site Cafeteria Water Cooler	$20	Instance recovered after repeated complaints about the taste.
Security Guard Jeremy Oves	$50,000	Oves complained of sinus pain and irritated eyes before discovering ~220 eggs lodged within his left eye socket. The cost of surgical removal was not covered under his insurance policy.
Wolf Creek Generating Station	[CLASSIFIED]	Over 200 pulverized carapaces were retrieved from the intake pipes of the pressurized-water nuclear reactor. Only heroic efforts by the reactor's engineers prevented total meltdown.

SCP-XXXX experienced severe and unmitigated population decline, despite updated containment procedures, and the entire contained population self-extirpated by 2003.

In 2016 the Foundation Cloning Division initiated Project LAZARUS, a multi-disciplinary effort to clone tissue from extinct anomalous organisms for further study. SCP-XXXX was initially selected due to the large amount of genetic material on hand, but for obvious reasons was discounted.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Conservation Status: • Red

Special Containment Procedures: The area containing SCP-XXXX's natural environment is to be owned and maintained by the Foundation under the cover of an international mining consortium. The extraction complex will be regulated by local and international standards, as well as the Foundation's bylaws regarding the extraction of sensitive materials. The helium extracted from the area is to be used to supplement the Foundation's strategic deposits when necessary, or laundered to a Foundation business concern for entry to market.

While expeditions may be conducted in shirt-sleeve conditions, face protection and independent air supplies must be worn due to the higher-than-average radiation present within the cave. A full decontamination suite is to be made available at Egress Alpha. All other entrances into the system are to be sealed with concrete to prevent accidental discovery. Expeditions to Subchamber Delta require regional clearance (NAFRICOM directorate) and anti-deific counter-measures before proceeding.

Research is to be performed into the feasibility of the integration of SCP-XXXX into the containment procedures and insulation of other anomalies held by the Tactical Theology Department.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a species of rock-growing fruticose lichen (Argentcapillum adamsky), endemic to an isolated cavern⁹ in Sudan. The lichen is a dark, mottled brown-gray in coloration, as the symbiotic algae within the lichen lacks chloroplasts, instead possessing silver-rich organelles within silicate tubules. Modified filaments pump mineral water into these chambers, which the algal organelles transmute into a water solution containing basic sugars and other organic compounds through the harnessing of divine energies (goetrophy), marking it as the simplest organism capable of miracle-working yet known.

Figure 1. Simplified goesynthesis diagram, excluding the modified Calvin cycle and other sub-processes for ease of use.

While not fully understood¹⁰, goesynthesis adheres to the conservation of energy, which means both alpha and beta emissions are released as part of the transmutation process — directed out of the silicate tubule to avoid damage to the mycobiont. These byproducts support a secondary ecosystem of radiotrophic fungi, which alternates between mutualistic symbiont and parasite to SCP-XXXX, acting as radiation shielding in exchange for leaching sugars through the lichen's cell wall. However, it can inhibit goesynthesis and even kill the host mycobiont through starvation if permitted to accumulate.

The thallus of the lichen grows in long, ropy strands up to 84 cm (2.74 feet) in length, which overlaps and meshes together into a thick, entwined mat. This organic mat creates the basis of the ecosystem within the cavern, collectively designated SCP-XXXX-1, with all of included species specializing on the consumption of SCP-XXXX or that of primary consumers. These species are closely related to extant mundane species — though genetically distinct — and as such it is believed that exposure to the divine paired with the founder effect greatly accelerated and exacerbated the evolution and mutation of SCP-XXXX-1 compared to those above ground.

The cave system containing SCP-XXXX and its ecosystem possesses several entrances to surface, spread across a large area stretching over several square kilometers, some of which known to the indigenous population to intermittently release noxious gases. The indigenous population often used these vents for their hallucinatory capabilities as well as harnessing the ambient divine energy in the area for ritualistic purposes. The indigenous possessed oral knowledge of SCP-XXXX and -1, though they were relocated upon the Foundation's purchase of the area. Egress Alpha is the largest and most easily accessible of these entrances, with a central location that allows travel throughout most of the cave system.

The cave system contains multiple distinct ecosystems, delineated by pockets of helium generated by the goesynthesis of SCP-XXXX, creating "dead zones" free of oxygen that prevents free travel without a breathing apparatus.

The lowest chamber of the cavern is Subchamber Delta, which is also the largest chamber yet discovered. No life exists within the cave bar a thick growth (3.4m in some places) of SCP-XXXX on most surfaces, most likely do to a high level of both Aspect radiation and divinity, which makes long term human presence infeasible.

A thick plug of the SCP-XXXX stretches floor to ceiling, blocking access to a full half of Subchamber Delta. Due to the age of the growth, the accretion of of a thick crust of silicates on the growth, and the lethal levels of divinity present within the chamber, penetrating the plug has proven infeasible. Ground-penetrating radar has shown what looks to be a large artificial structure resembling a plinth, altar, or tomb on the other side of the plug, presumed to be the source of the divine. Further examination has been prohibited on the grounds of divine retribution.

SCP-XXXX	See Above	Prolific
SCP-XXXX-1A	Dubbed "Floating Lanterns" by exploration teams for both their appearance and bespoke metabolic process, these organisms appear to be a series of bladders vertically suspended in the air, rooted to an excavated hole. Testing has shown that these bladders contain a series of elements, incrementing by atomic weight as one proceeds down the chain. They were previously prolific in the helium "dead zones" of the cavern, siphoning helium into the topmost bladder and thaumaturgically inducing fusion, transporting the newly created lithium down into the next bladder for further fusion. This process continues for up to 12 bladders, upon which the silicon is deposited onto the substrate. The process does not create any light, due to the thick, thaumaturgically-enhanced hide of the bladder, but does increase the temperature of the dead zones to sweltering highs. It is believed that SCP-XXXX-1A is responsible for much of the enriched material in the region.	Extinct

"Gravity's Rainbow," a river that flows upwards, theorized to be due to convection forces, that brings nutrients up from the lake below the Pit.

Addendum: In June 2003, due to a outburst of violence during the Second Sudanese Civil War, quarantine of the cave was breached by rebel forces. An STF was deployed to regain control over the region, but the rebels were able to contaminate the waters of the cave with an unknown anomaly, slowly transmuting the local water table into toxic levels of ethanol. Genetic and material samples of all relevant species have been taken for analysis and storage.

While radiation levels have dropped since the incident, the level of localized smitings in the area have increased.

New Atlantis

On July 22nd, 2017, the following documentation was leaked onto Void, an anomalous social media platform by a since-deleted account, along with several terabytes of Top Secret information restricted to only the Domestic Security Council, the President, and top officials at the Paranatural Warfare Command ("Pentagram"). How the whistleblower obtained this information is unknown.

The backlash from the affected parties was unsurprising.

REPORT TO DOMESTIC SECURITY COUNCIL

SUBJECT:

APPROACHES TO AND CAPABILITIES OF THE NEW ATLANTIS THALASSOCRACY

---

I. FACTS BEARING ON THIS STUDY.

1. General Overview.

The community known those as New Atlantis, or alternatively "The Restored Thalassocracy of the Peoples of the Sea," is a supernatural enclave/colony of the ancient civilization of Atlantis, currently located within the Sonoran Desert of Arizona.

The vast majority of the population of New Atlantis (SAPPHIRE) is of a genetically distinct subspecies to that of a baseline human being, with an innate proclivity towards thaumaturgy, or the practice of magic. These innate abilities, with standardized education, are incredibly powerful, allowing ancient Atlantis to project power similar to that of the modern American naval fleet several thousands years ago, with a minimal technological base, as shown by the demonstration of JERICHO.

If SAPPHIRE were to declare war on the United States, they would have the capabilities of a nuclear power. Any engagement with SAPPHIRE without the benefit of first-strike capabilities would have a projected death toll of a small-scale nuclear war.

2. Geographical Considerations.

SAPPHIRE is not near any major arteries of the United States Highway System, and the closest American military installation is the Luke Air Force Base. Any military operation would have to be initially staged in Luke, with additional forces airlifted into the base and deployed. A primary staging ground could be formed off of Route 93, with nearby residential areas evacuated under the pretext of a hazardous chemical spill.

The area surrounding SAPPHIRE is extremely isolated, and surrounded by mountainous, arid terrain, sub-optimal for the movement of mechanized infantry battalions. Similarly, communications in the region are spotty due to the terrain, though that will affect the defenders more than BLUE's forces. Ground convoys would be susceptible to ambushes and guerilla tactics, and are projected to take heavy losses before arriving at the zone of conflict, even with aerial superiority.

3. Political Considerations.

If SAPPHIRE were to declare war on BLUE, or vice versa, there would be a strong negative reactions from the international paranatural community to the antagonist, due to the cultural and historical ties SAPPHIRE represents to many groups.

The population of SAPPHIRE is low and dense enough that a single 5-kiloton nuclear bomb that would be enough to neutralize the majority of hostiles, with a following ground sweep to dispatch of any remaining resistance. Arguments for and against are detailed in III.

Furthermore, due to intermarriage between SAPPHIRE and BLUE politicians, there would be elements in both participants' governments that push for peace, and would either have to be eliminated or in some way sidelined in order for this scenario to commence.

Thalassocrats, Atlantean supremacists. McCainists, Assimilationists.
…

IV. CONCLUSIONS.

a. the critical areas of SAPPHIRE are:

(1) low population
(2) isolated
(3) federally-dependent energy infrastructure
(5) sparse communications network
(6) no standing defense force

b. possible approaches to SAPPHIRE:

(1) carpet-bombing by units stationed in Luke Air Force Base with ground cleanup. Light losses from BLUE.
(2) full scale ground invasion through Route 93, followed by urban combat. Heavy losses from BLUE.
(3) low-yield nuclear bomb, followed by ground sweep. No losses from BLUE.

V. RECOMMENDATIONS.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within 50 liter drums sealed with wax and located in long-term cold storage. The substance is to be considered biohazardous and caustic, with the drums labeled as such. Personnel are required to wear Level-C PPE at minimum during brief handling of SCP-XXXX, and Level-A PPE during extended durations of contact.

If skin contact is made with the mass, amputation of the affected limb is possible if performed within the allotted time-frame. If not, aid is to be rendered by personnel with sufficiently low empathy scores.

Exposed instances of SCP-XXXX are extremely flammable, and armories in the wing containing SCP-XXXX must have flamethrowers or equivalent stocked and readily available in the case that SCP-XXXX grows too large to contain effectively.

Creation of calibers larger than 5.56x45mm requires authorization by both the Head Researcher and Site Director. Usage of SCP-XXXX and its derivatives outside of proper testing facilities is strictly prohibited.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a self-sustaining embryonic mass utilized in the creation of firearms and other mechanical weapons of war. Due to the homogeneity of the mass, it can be divided into parts with no consideration for the health of the organism. The substance is inert unless contact is made with a suitable vessel or animalian tissue.

If SCP-XXXX or subsection thereof is poured into a mold, hull, or any other empty vessel utilized in weapon manufacture, the mass will quickly begin to differentiate, creating organs and tissue substrates within the container, most often correlating or forming close analogues with the systems and mechanisms found in crafts of the mold’s type, creating a fully-functional metallo-organic weapon (SCP-XXXX-X). Examples of observed instances include:

• A spring-loaded Walther-PPK that fires teeth.
• A SAFE-41 Interceptor, with a large flammable gas bladder for propulsion.
• A Type-86 15 cm Howitzer

Larger instances may have a self-preservation instinct and nominally sentient, due to the sheer density of neural tissue used by the more complex analogues to modern technologies.

When exposed to animalian tissue, SCP-XXXX will latch onto the sample with an organic glue, and secrete a series of enzymes that breaks down the connective tissue between the cells and reverting them back to an embryonic state, eventually incorporating the material into its own mass. This technique can be used to incorporate tissue samples much larger than itself, with as little as one ounce of SCP-XXXX required to assimilate a brown rat; or anecdotally a 300 pound mass assimilating an adolescent sperm whale¹¹.

Derivative weapons are also capable of assimilating animal tissue, granting SCP-XXXX-X instances limited regeneration from damage, though extensive and repeated damage may result in cancerous lesions and degradation.

Genetic sequencing of SCP-XXXX has so far been inconclusive, returning cetacean DNA, human DNA, other assorted mammalian and piscine tracers, as well as DNA similar to samples recovered from the Kowloon Walled Cortex in the South China Sea.

History: SCP-XXXX was utilized by the Imperial Japanese military during the later stages of WWII. Japan had been heavily embargoed and blockaded for several years, and had experienced shortages in many materials critical for the war effort. The exact process of creation has been lost due to a combination of time and willful obstruction by the successors to the IJAMEA, but in the end it is known that SCP-XXXX aided in supplementing the Japanese military's industrial capacity, allowing for mass production of critical war assets.

SCP-XXXX was discovered after an encounter of a flotilla composed entirely of SCP-XXXX-X instances, with the U.S. Navy's 13th Fleet.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: The area surrounding SCP-XXXX is to be maintained under the guise of a World War memorial. The disappearance of Saint-Moulins is to be attributed to Cover Story G3M6 "War-Time Bombing," with the location to be modified and era-appropriate buildings to be added that reflect this narrative.

As per agreements made with SCP-XXXX-1, era-appropriate food and equipment are to be to supplied to SCP-XXXX-1 in exchange for voluntary containment. Use of, or the transport of any modern technology or apparel within SCP-XXXX is strictly prohibited, and all personnel must be using ethnic- and era-appropriate gear. SCP-XXXX-1 is not permitted to know of early-to-mid 20th century history. MTF Nu-5 ("Big Stick") are to handle peacekeeping activities between Foundation personnel and SCP-XXXX-1.

Dimensional Site-88 is to be situated within a farmhouse on the outskirts of SCP-XXXX, communicating with baseline reality using a buried telephone cable, leading to the egress of SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the village of Saint-Moulins, in Northern France, accessible only through a hollow tree trunk. During WWII, Saint-Moulins and the surrounding area were displaced from baseline reality, rendering the village isolated from the outside world, though remaining synchronized to baseline reality in all physical respects.

The border of SCP-XXXX loops, transporting an individual to the opposite side of SCP-XXXX facing Saint-Moulins, if they were to walk away from the town for an extended amount of time.

SCP-XXXX-1 are the denizens of SCP-XXXX. The population adopts the mannerisms and traditions of early 20th century Central Europeans, and have no knowledge of historical events proceeding UE-4919. SCP-XXXX-1 has little to no knowledge of the cause of UE-4919, due to information suppression by the ruling party. The majority of SCP-XXXX-1 believe that the world underwent a cataclysmic event that destroyed the entire Earth, excepting SCP-XXXX. As such, following the directive of Friedrich Wagner, POI-4198, SCP-XXXX-1 took steps to maintain environmental and cultural stability within SCP-XXXX, insuring the relatively stable condition of SCP-XXXX until Foundation discovery.

Have MTF interview the head of command. Reason why the village disappeared was because of a premature detonation of a German eigenweapon, Konzept-Subtrahierer-Bombe, or the KSB. Didn't work fully, due to the factors in its detonation. Works by completely removing the blast zone from baseline reality, and places the location within the Outside to dissipate into concepts.

Have an ethics committee trial on one of the MTF members who was smuggling weapons to resistance.

Have violence ramp up because of the trafficking.

Have the village be conceptually neutralized by the detonation of another KSB. MTF and civilians within the anomaly have been deemed irretrievable and are to be considered KIA. As such, the MTF as a concept have ceased to exist, and all data related to the anomaly and the MTF have vanished, besides that which was contained within Site-01.

The village is populated by approximately ███ inhabitants, with the French natives ruled by an autocracy of the descendants of the occupying Nazi German soldiers (SCP-XXXX-1b, all equipped with standard, if aged, weaponry for the Wehrmacht. The native population of SCP-XXXX (SCP-XXXX-1a) is small, as a result of multiple "cullings" that have occurred, instigated by the ruling elite to "cleanse" the population. Although most of SCP-XXXX-1a complies with the ruling autocracy, there is a small underground resistance movement, composed of 38 individuals, led by Joseph Davies, the son of Robert Davies¹². //Robert Davies accidentally detonated a bomb prototype that created the pocket dimension (add as story/journal entry maybe?)

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX currently inhabits the grounds of Area-12, and has been implanted with subdermal GPS tracking devices. SCP-XXXX is to be rewarded with juvenile small mammals after its bimonthly checkup to ensure good behavior.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a female Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), which possesses an atypical region of space located its pouch. The entrance to this space can expand to fit entities many times larger than SCP-XXXX, but rejects physically mature organisms by closing the sphincter muscle of the entrance. Within this region of space is an area of unknown size possessing teats of various shapes and sizes on the interior of the pouch.

SCP-XXXX collects and hosts a number of orphaned juvenile mammals within its pouch. These entities are extremely docile within the vicinity of SCP-XXXX, and continuously suckle on the teats until they reach maturity, upon which they voluntarily exit the pouch. SCP-XXXX-raised organisms appear and act identically to members of their species, with no visible sign of atrophy, asociality, or malnutrition.

SCP-XXXX was discovered in Detroit, Michigan, after a panicked civilian called 911 and reported seeing a bull moose exit the rear end of an opossum the civilian was trying to intimidate.

Incident Log: Six months after initial containment, all SCP-XXXX-1 had been raised to maturity and were confiscated by personnel. SCP-XXXX was not introduced to more juvenile animals, and began exhibiting signs of distress in Area-12's daypen. Site personnel attempted to sedate SCP-XXXX; but SCP-XXXX partially prolapsed its pouch, leading to a subsonic expansion of air as new space was extruded. This event knocked over the daypen's fence, which allowed SCP-XXXX to escape. SCP-XXXX was recontained without incident a week afterwards, possessing several field mice pups within its pouch. Containment procedures have since been amended.

Addendum: Further exploration of the pouch of SCP-XXXX has revealed the mummified bodies of six opossum joeys, tightly wrapped in Ivy, with a copper crescent moon medallion tied to the vines. Pink carnation petals were scattered around the surrounding tissue.

Title card of SCP-XXXX.

Special Containment Procedures: Foundation webcrawler Upsilon-007 (The Creature from the Cyber Lagoon) is to monitor forums and web pages dedicated to the paranormal or the review of lesser known vintage films, notifying higher-ups if keywords related to SCP-XXXX and other film-related anomalies are used. A single instance of SCP-XXXX be kept within a high-security containment locker, with excess copies to be incinerated.

Under the guise of store employees, members of MTF Eta-16 ("Cinema Snobs") are to monitor affected stores for the manifestation of SCP-XXXX copies, which are to be promptly confiscated and transported to the nearest site.

If populations of SCP-XXXX-1 are discovered, a contingent of MTF Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") is to lay siege to the population, destroying any devices, SCP-XXXX-1 instances, or SCP-XXXX copies they find.

Description: SCP-XXXX is It Came From The Fifth World!, a low-budget 1955 horror movie directed by Theodore Rud and produced by the now-defunct Celestial Studios. Labeled copies of SCP-XXXX will sporadically manifest within video rental stores dedicated to vintage or lesser-known films. SCP-XXXX will usually manifest in a variety of physical mediums, including DVDs, VHS tapes, Betamax cassettes, film reels, and in one case, a View-Master stereoscope.

The plot of SCP-XXXX primarily revolves about extraterrestrial lifeforms resembling echinoderms abducting people from an isolated town in California, and the town's actions as the military attempts to first cover up the abductions, then sightings of the aliens themselves. The film ends with a prolonged siege of the town by the military. However, the ending of SCP-XXXX is unknown, as the reel possesses several cognitohazardous properties, which manifest within the subject upon fully watching SCP-XXXX.

• Belief that the contents of SCP-XXXX are nonfictional.
• The desire to find evidence to back up the previous belief.
• The development of cilia and ossicles on the body of the subject.

Subjects who become infected by SCP-XXXX, henceforth designated SCP-XXXX-1, feel the need to collect evidence for the alien's existence maybe? and when they are unable to find evidence, they often go through stages of delusion or paranoia, before finally constructing a mechanical device out of household utilities, of unknown use until Incident Log XXXX.1.

Go into the history of SCP-XXXX, where it came from, who it was made by. mention he was an avid amateur astronomer, and interviews with the director suggest that he was inspired after seeing "seastar-like creatures."

Largest outbreak was in Colorado, when it was screened at a drive-in theater. like a third of the town became SCP-XXXX-1, and built a giant transmitter. Foundation blocked access to the town, but during the third month, a space ship manifested in the town's airspace for a few minutes, and then promptly demanifested. All affected subjects were missing, and have not been found since.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:

Description: SCP-XXXX is a variant of the Prickly Russian Thistle (Kali tragus), primarily localized around Las Vegas, Nevada. SCP-XXXX instances contain detailed, to-scale sculptures of a human, entwined with thorns from the instance. The sculptures within instances vocalize screams and incoherent gibberish in several languages.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Archived Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a Euclid-Level humanoid containment cell, furnished as a typical middle-class Egyptian apartment, with additional furnishings given to SCP-XXXX as reward for good behavior. Every week at 6 PM on Saturday, personnel selected from the attached list of names are to play games with SCP-XXXX for up to but not exceeding 7 hours, selecting from those in its containment chamber. They are not to play games that involve gambling or bets. UPDATE: List of excluded games has expanded to those which revolve around the exchange of fake currency. Roughly every six weeks, SCP-XXXX is to be introduced to new games, preferably from non-Sub-Saharan or Middle Eastern origin.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a 1.9 meter tall green-skinned humanoid of Egyptian heritage, typically wearing a white three-piece suit, or other formal wear. Unless aware of its anomalous nature, observers will not remark on its appearance. SCP-XXXX can manipulate reality in a limited fashion surrounding set concepts, such as "health," "luck," and "fortune," using its abilities as a wager to those who beat SCP-XXXX in a card or board game. If a subject loses the bet, SCP-XXXX will request monetary compensation proportional to the difficulty of the game played. If the subject refuses to pay, attempts to cheat, or acts rude to SCP-XXXX or its "customers," the subject will often experience detrimental effects related to concepts manipulated by SCP-XXXX. When offered to set the terms of the bet, SCP-XXXX has requested better accommodations, extended play sessions with personnel, and Egyptian currency.

SCP-XXXX is very competitive, and while usually polite and spirited, may become frustrated and aggravated when learning a new game. This is not a security concern; personnel are instructed to talk to the entity directly and remind him that it's just a game. An understanding has been reached regarding these outbursts, and the entity will calm himself. If he does not, personnel are permitted to leave.

SCP-XXXX was first discovered after an irregular trend of good fortune occurred in several small towns in Central Egypt over the span of a few weeks. Personnel in the area were able to isolate SCP-XXXX as the cause and track him to Thebes, where he was found in a small bazaar, playing games with locals and tourists in exchange for "favors" surrounding his ability.

Agents: Delta-1 and Delta-2, Reconnaissance

<Begin Log>

[Delta-1 and -2 were observing a sidewalk cafe, where SCP-XXXX-1 and an American couple were playing cards.]

Delta-2: Is that our guy?

Delta-1: I dunno, maybe there's another green-skinned gambler hanging around here. C'mon, let's go.

[The two shoulder their way through the crush of people, making their way towards the cafe just as the male American throws down his hand in anger, and storms off, his partner following.]

SCP-XXXX: Mmph, well they were spoil sports, weren't they. [He turns towards the two agents] Now what might you two desire, hmm. [Pointing towards Delta-1] Would you like to play with me?

Delta-1: Ah, no sir, just here perusing the wares. But my partner here [Delta-1 shoves Delta-2 forward] would love to have a go with you.

Delta-2: Whuh- fine, hey, guess I'm up.

SCP-XXXX: Come on, don't be shy. I have time to play - do you enjoy gambling, my good man?

Delta-2: Uhh, I don't know. What would I have to lose?

SCP-XXXX: Well, I so happen to have a card right here to help you decide. [SCP-XXXX pulls a business card out from his breast pocket and hands it to Delta-2. On the card were a series of requests, followed by the required game. "Fertility-Checkers," "Lottery Numbers-Chess," "Cured Cancer-Poker," and "Immortality-Senet" were noticeable. On the back of the card it reads "Crescent Moon Holdings." No company under that name has been found.]

Delta-2: So if I lose a round of poker, do you take my soul or something?

SCP-XXXX: [Feigning outrage] How could you ever accuse me of doing something like that, I would never. I would only take your liver. [Noticing Delta-2's expression] Only kidding. At most I would take 315 Egyptian pounds¹³. I am a reasonable man.

Delta-2: Ok, I guess I want answers. What would I have to play for those?

SCP-XXXX: Hmm, no one has asked for answers before. Now, before we begin, do you mean, "what is my purpose," "why don't chicks like me," kind of answers, or actual answers that matter, like "Why is a green man wearing heavy eyeliner trying to play cards with me."

Delta-2: The latter, if you don't mind.

SCP-XXXX: Of course, of course. Now, if you don't mind, could you hold my drink? [SCP-XXXX hands Delta-2 a cappuccino, as SCP-XXXX grabs a bag from the ground and empties its contents onto the table. Numerous decks of cards, board games, and one confused pigeon land onto the table, far more than the bag seems capable of holding.] Ok, ok, Let's see here. Royal game of Ur, nah. Senet, nope. Chess, nyet. Ah, here we go. Checkers. [SCP-XXXX uncovers a battered board and pieces from the pile, and lays them off to the side as he shoves the mound of games back into his bag.] Kings allowed, you have to jump if you can, chatter enabled. How about you're white for your first time, eh?

Delta-2: Fine by me.

[They quickly set up the board and begin playing, Delta-2 being aggressive while SCP-XXXX-1 sets traps to quickly dismantle Delta-2's forces]

Delta-2: So, how did you end up in Egypt?

SCP-XXXX: Raised here. Since the beginning of time, it feels like. King me. You?

Delta-2: Wait wha-…Fine. Uhh deployed, to find you, actually.

SCP-XXXX: Oh, two strong agents sent to find me? You shouldn't have. King me.

Delta-2: Goddammit.

[The game progressed fast, with SCP-XXXX quickly sweeping the board of all of Delta-2's pieces.]

SCP-XXXX: [Holding out a hand.] Pay up.

Delta-2: Fine. [Reluctantly he hands SCP-XXXX a fistful of crumbled bills.]

SCP-XXXX: [Looking at Delta-1] Now how about you, my fair lady?

Delta-1: [sighs] Alright, fine, I'll play your game.

SCP-XXXX: That's the spirit, my dear!

[They reset the board, Delta-1 white, SCP-XXXX black. The game proceeds slower, with Delta-1 being more cautious. The game eventually is won by Delta-1.]

SCP-XXXX: [Stretching] Ohh, that was a satisfying game. Thank you for that.

Delta-1: Didn't you said you would give us answers?

SCP-XXXX: Right, right. You youngsters are always in a rush these days. Never take your time or relax. Fine, what do you want to ask?

Delta-1:First off, who are you, what do you want, are you hostile, can you be contained.

SCP-XXXX: Khonsu, women, no, and depends. In that order. Though I guess it doesn't have to be in that order, but it wouldn't make sense otherwise. Ah, never mind.

Delta-1: I want to play one more game with you.

SCP-XXXX: Oho, what's your wager?

Delta-1: If I win, you come with us quietly.

SCP-XXXX: Hmmm… And if I win, you will have to find someone that can beat me.

Delta-1: Deal. Now, what game are we playing?

SCP-XXXX: A game that has been honed and refined with time. One that has tested the skill of pharaoh and peasant alike. The humble game of senet¹⁴.

[SCP-XXXX briefly explains the game to Delta-1, who almost immediately loses.]

Delta-1: [Pounds the table.] Goddammit.

SCP-XXXX: Ah, win or lose, it does not matter. For if you did not lose or gain anything, it's like you never played it in the first place.

Delta-1: I guess you're right.

SCP-XXXX: [Extending a hand] Now give me 500 Pounds.

Delta-1:Jesus. [She gives SCP-XXXX a stack of bills.] Can we play again or what.

SCP-XXXX: I'm afraid not. You'll have to catch me another time. If you want to play again, meet me at noon next week in Helwan. I must take my leave, but it was a pleasure meeting both of you. And remember to bring a better player.

[SCP-XXXX bowed to each of the agents, and walked away. Efforts to tail him failed.]

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be stored in seperate Safe-rated Containment lockers in Site-69. Any testing of SCP-XXXX has to be permitted by the Site Director and the Ethics Committee before beginning. VHS cassettes are to be made on demand for SCP-XXXX, and no more than two (2) blank VHS cassettes are to be available for use by SCP-XXXX at any one time.

Sideview of SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXX is a modified Hitachi VHS camcorder, found in a Miami, FL nighclub after a riot instigated by its effects. Several identical small sigils are inscribed in lamb's blood on the interior of SCP-XXXX, with several localized around the VHS slot and the viewfinder. SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties manifest when a specially prepared VHS cassette¹⁵ is loaded into its slot, and is recording two or more people, who are within six meters of each other. The subjects will then manifest extreme aggression towards others, and will begin attacking people in the vicinity, usually other subjects. People who walk into frame once the anomalous properties activate will also become victim to the anomalous effects. Subjects are unable to die from injuries, and will continue to fight until not physically able to attack. Subjects do not show any signs of higher thinking or problem solving skills, though some rudimentary tool use has been observed by way of simple melee weapons, such as pipes and bats. Effects cease upon the stopping of filming, with the majority of subjects shortly dying afterwards from shock, exsanguination, and decapitation. SCP-XXXX has no apparent maximum range, and affects individuals through up to three meters of material.

Analysis of the remains of subjects concludes that they possess high amounts of adrenaline and narcotics within their bloodstream¹⁶, which appears to be a secondary effect that enhances the user's level of aggression in tandem with the primary anomaly. Subjects will still experience the drugs' mind-altering effect after recording, suggesting that the drug cocktail persists in the bloodstream several hours after cessation of SCP-XXXX's primary effect.

Incident Log XXXX/1:

On June 16, 1987, SCP-XXXX was stolen by an unknown third-party. On December 12, 1987, it was found within the possession of astronaut Richard Mullane during a regular security sweep immediately prior to his launch on the Space Shuttle Atlantis. He claims that he wanted to record the Earth for his family with a camcorder he had purchased from a swap meet earlier that year. Security almost permitted him onto the shuttle, until one of the guards, a former UIU agent, noticed the standard Foundation Identification Label on its underside. Mullane was promptly amnesticized, and SCP-XXXX was returned to Foundation control.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained within a Safe-rated biohazard containment unit. Personnel interacting with SCP-XXXX-1 are to wear gloves at all times, and are to be decontaminated upon leaving the unity.

SCP-XXXX-1 is considered neutralized, and its remnants are to be integrated into the Quinault Indian Nation. The Foundation is to be monitor SCP-XXXX-1 for any spontaneous generation of carnomancy, under the guise of a non-profit health clinic.

Description:SCP-XXXX is a two-meter long, heart-like organ composed mainly out of bone and connective tissue. Two large valves are positioned on opposite ends of the organ, allowing access in and out of the anomaly. SCP-XXXX possesses the capability to manipulate the genetic makeup of any member of the family Canidae that is inserted into its cavity. These changes are dictated by a person with their palms placed against the side of SCP-XXXX, which will then grow nervous tissue to temporarily marry with the user's nervous system.

Genetic deviance of these animals (SCP-XXXX-a) can be minimal, from just a change in length and coloration of coat (Shishalh Wool Dog), or complete overhaul of the shape, size, and aggression levels of the instance (Selchet War Hound). SCP-XXXX-a are sterile and as such, all SCP-XXXX-a instances outside of Foundation custody have died out as of 1915. SCP-XXXX was utilized by SCP-XXXX-1 the group designation of the members of the "Slhíqwesikw'et" tribe.

Society: The Slhíqwesikw'et were extremely egalitarian, with slaves being set free upon purchasing from other tribes, and the only notable members of rank being the Siyám¹⁷ and the Chá:xw¹⁸. Members almost never married outside of SCP-XXXX, instead maintaining alliances and political ties through their monopoly over the creation and distribution of SCP-XXXX-a. The Slhíqwesikw'et language appears to be partially derived from the Downriver Halq'eméylem language, with several loan words of Eastern Siberian origin.

History: SCP-XXXX-1 was originally discovered by George Vancouver, in his survey of British Columbia. He established a trading relationship with SCP-XXXX-1, exchanging food and fresh drinking water for tin and iron. The Slhíqwesikw'et were originally very welcoming and tolerant of the explorers, having a feast in their honor, and gifting them several SCP-XXXX-a instances. George Vancouver noted the tribe's use of SCP-XXXX, describing it as "a gift from either God or the Devil, or maybe neither."

Over time, relationships between SCP-XXXX-1 and settlers degraded as pioneers repeatedly violated treaties signed by the American government and the local tribes of the region, After several decades, Siyám Á:yelexwt organized a confederacy of the Coastal Salish, commanded by SCP-XXXX-1, and pursued an aggressive expansionist policy, declaring themselves an independent nation and instigated war against Canada and America in 1893.

The two governments did not initially take this declaration of war seriously, but after the city of Vancouver was raided by the Confederacy army, Canada and the US sent a joint task force, accompanied by the American Secure Containment Initiative¹⁹ After three months of being pressured by the three armies, Á:yelexwt ordered the use of SCP-XXXX-a instances in warfare, which previously was considered taboo by SCP-XXXX.

Grim Reaper

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: A network of Foundation satellites, particularly Aquinas-3, is to monitor global akiva²⁰ radiation emissions from medium Earth orbit using experimental long-range aquinometers. The network is to be overseen by limited Class III AI housed onboard Aquinas-3, controlling the network via encrypted thaumaturgic transmissions between satellites. If the network observes an akiva burst in excess of 112 megakiva, typical of an SCP-XXXX manifestation, it will notify the Director of the Eschatological Threats Department who will then deploy MTF Omega-144 at their discretion. SCP-XXXX must be exorcised within an hour of manifestation by a contingent of 34 quick-response priests monthly. All priests present during the exorcism must be under 115 years of age, must not have a history of life-threatening disease, and must be a member of an Abrahamic faith who rate consistently at least 123 centiakiva in piety. Priests are to have a woven mistletoe bracelet on their person when deployed. All Sites must have at minimum ten (10) priests, or three (3) bishops housed on location at all times, to ensure rapid response to a containment breach.

To ensure the security of the containment procedures of SCP-XXXX, along with the containment procedures of fourteen other religion-based anomalies, belief in the Abrahamic religions is to be encouraged among the civilian and staff populace, alongside the natural rise in the religious population growth that has occurred in the past century.

Civilians that have been attacked by SCP-XXXX are to be confiscated by the Foundation and interred in cold storage, with witnesses amnesticized as necessary. All reports of SCP-XXXX on the internet are to be scrubbed and labeled as a hoax. Cells of GoI-9451 are to be covertly dismantled and members brought in for questioning. High-ranking members of GoI-9451 and friends of Adrian Valencia and Thomas Whitted are of high-priority.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity, roughly 2.2 meters in height, wearing a long and degraded black cloak. The face of SCP-XXXX is always enveloped in shadow, regardless of the angle of light. The only visible portions of SCP-XXXX's body are its extremities, which lack articulation or connective tissue, but are capable of being manipulated normally. SCP-XXXX's feet are vestigial in form, stunted and dangling below the entity, as the entity hovers above the ground at all times. SCP-XXXX has been observed to have wings able to extend from slits within the back of its cloak that are severely decomposed and degraded, lacking the majority of their feathers. SCP-XXXX is incapable of speech, but has been recorded vocalizing in the forms of harsh screams and low growling. SCP-XXXX wields a large scythe composed of an unknown thaumaturgically reactive metal that is fused to its right hand.

SCP-XXXX reacts negatively to plants and plant-based material such as mistletoe and hemp rope, keeping as much distance between itself and the plants as possible. If exorcised, the entity will disappear for approximately 30 days, wherein it will remanifest in an area with a high density of humans that meet its requirements for "reaping." A remanifestation of SCP-XXXX is characterized by a large drop in temperature and Hume level, a rise in ambient akiva radiation²¹, and the creation of a large, swirling black vortex that SCP-XXXX exits from upon manifestation.

SCP-XXXX is capable of flight, invisibility, and intangibility, and of manipulating reality²² to an unknown degree through its scythe. The entity is hostile to human consciousnesses over 115 years of age or was afflicted by a lethal disease or disorder²³ at some time in the past, which at the time of writing composes 73% of the global population. SCP-XXXX will attack the nearest subject who fulfills the requirements by swinging its scythe. Upon contact of the blade to the subject, the body will start rapidly deteriorating, resulting in complete non-neural cell death within 10 seconds. SCP-XXXX is capable of tracking human consciousnesses that have been uploaded onto the Internet, typically disposing of the subject by destroying the Internet server that hosted the consciousness. In the case where the consciousness has been subdivided into separate entities, SCP-XXXX creates copies of itself to destroy the consciousness, which then demanifest once the sub-instances have disposed of the consciousnesses. Study of victims has shown attacks by SCP-XXXX do not result in brain death, but lowers brain activity immensely. Internet-hosted consciousnesses are also not completely destroyed.

SCP-XXXX was created by GoI-9541 "The Church of Thanatos²⁴" via an accidental ontological conversion as a result of the worship of ██ million people. This show of worship acted as a pseudo-"Rite of Solomon," forming a gestalt semi-consciousness of an estimated 36 gigakiva that manipulated the noosphere to transform one of Adrian Valencia's staff into SCP-XXXX. This is usually impossible during typical religious ceremonies, but it is believed that the use of an anomalous variant of DMT²⁵ by the majority of the congregation enabled the event to take place.

SCP-XXXX, formerly Thomas Whitted, was a low level reality bender and a resident of Three Portlands before being recruited to GoI-9541 in the early 2030s. Thomas Whitted performed the role of the concept of death in many of Valencia's sermons, and would use his abilities to perform tricks to entertain the congregation. Thomas Whitted had no record of criminal or suspicious activity, and was considered a morally upstanding citizen by his peers.

Recovered Diary of Adrian Valencia:

+ Diary Excerpts

I found the one today, Thomas Whitted. He is handsome, charismatic, and a wonderful actor, really believes in my stuff. He will be perfect for the role. We having begun fitting him for his costume, classic "Grim Reaper", cloak and scythe and everything. Oh, it will be a grand show tonight.

Oh, Tommy is a wonderful actor. He played the part perfectly. He did some of his tricks in the costume, I rigged up some of my gear to project some mild hallucinations, and all twenty of the guests were amazed with the performance. They said they will recommend their friends, and I'm so excited!

The people loved it. We did a show near London, and Big Ben was absolutely beautiful. Despite 30 years of me saying the same old stuff, people still enjoy it. The live stream was watched by over 20,000 people, it's insane. So we're putting up some posters today, Alice put some of her flair in them so they would attract attention.

Some merchants came to me today. They offered me some new form of drug, says it will make my performances more… "realistic" I think the words they used were. It was expensive for the ounces, but we need it if we are to receive more donations and viewers.

I served in Beijing today. The new translators do wonders in transferring my word to the people. Oh how I loved the sparkle in their eyes when Thomas levitated the Scythe many feet into the air. I can see them approaching Heaven's Gate now with the same sheen in their eyes as they cry the innocent tears of lambs.

Everything is going well, but Thomas appears to have fallen ill, and has confined himself within his trailer for the past two days. We had to use the secondary, but the People knew. They could feel it within their bones. Thomas says he is ready to go again, so I think he's feeling better. We should fetch a medical professional to make sure he's ready for tomorrow's sermon.

My flock has been growing more and more. The Snow has been opening their eyes wider and wider to the Truth in my Words. Thomas is still not feeling well, complains of aches in his hands. He must perform tonight, or else the flock will lose faith.

Thomas is losing hope. Every day he suffers more from pains within himself. I say unto him, "Sustain yourself for a moment longer, we are close to release from this Godless Earth." He turns to me and has the audacity to say "I have lost myself within the act." He is mad I say, I have merely discovered the truth in my own Words.

Today is Thomas' last day among the flock. He will not bear my countenance anymore. He performs his display one last time for my People, and then he will take his leave. He screams the cries of animals within his trailer. I command that no one should disturb him, for I know his angst, for it is the pain of turning back against the light of my Truth. And they listen, for mine Words are the Words of Truth, and they know that fact.

Discovery: During a Church of Thanatos sermon in Three Portlands on 9/12/2107, Thomas Whitted stumbled onto the stage as SCP-XXXX, during the portion of the sermon where Valencia would reenact the "murder of Death." Whitted then attacked Adrian Valencia with his scythe, causing the audience began to riot. UIU operatives at the incident attempted neutralize the entity, but failed. SCP-XXXX escaped to the Isle of Portland, United Kingdom, where it attacked 313 people before it was exorcised by a contingent of priests under Foundation command.

UIU Interview of Alice Thompson:

+ Interview Transcript

UNUSUAL INCIDENTS UNIT Interview Transcript 2107-061 "Faux Reaper"

Foreword: On September 21, 2107, Alice "Atropos" Dunham, a 142 year-old anartist and member of the "Church of Thanatos" was apprehended after her member organization created a hostile demiurge within the bounds of Three Portlands. Dunham was shipped to a secure UIU holding facility for interview.

---

Agent Charon: Hey, Alice, you holding up well. Sorry we had to meet again like this.

Dunham: …

Agent Charon: C'mon, don't act like that, we were friends. Just because things have changed doesn't mean you can't answer my questions.

Dunham: That was different. You were just on your beat in Portlands, talking with the locals and being charming. Now you're holding me against my will in your version of Guantanamo. I have rights, goddammit.

Agent Charon: Any rights you may have had were revoked by your unregistered mass-scale ontological conversion ritual you got going on in Portlands. The City Council and, hell, most of the city itself have thrown almost your entire congregation out after the stunt you pulled, and they were more than happy letting us take you in.

Dunham: Why are they blaming us? It wasn't our fault. People believe what they believe, we did nothing to encourage that.

Agent Charon: It wasn't your fault?

At this time, Agent Charon pulls a paper from his dossier.

Agent Charon: Did you or did you not manufacture or facilitate the manufacturing of mind-altering posters and billboards to entice religious conversion to the Church of Thanatos.

Dunham: …

Agent Charon: This is a yes or no question, Alice. But we have it on good faith from the council that you or people under your influence did this.

Dunham: I'm not talking until I get a lawyer.

Agent Charon: Listen, Alice. Your thought process is still in the 21st century. Its a new era now, and we need your cooperation on this, coerced or not. Answer the question.

Dunham: …yes.

Agent Charon: Yes what? You need to be precise with your answers.

Dunham: Yes I fucking manufactured and facilitated the manufacturing of mind-altering billboards, Jesus.

Agent Charon: Good, we are establishing dialogue. This is good, just hold on so we can get through this together. Now, next question. Did you or did you not purchase or facilitate the purchasing of paranatural mind- and reality- altering drugs to distribute to your congregation.

Dunham: No, I didn't.

Agent Charon: Do you know if anyone in your staff did so?

Dunham: Yes.

Agent Charon: Can you state for the record who purchased these drugs in violation of the Three Portlands Paranatural Pharmaceutical Abuse Act of 2086?

Dunham: …

Agent Charon: Please, Alice.

Dunham: Father A… Adrian. Adrian Valencia.

Agent Charon: Thank you for your cooperation, Alice. Now that you have some perspective on your crimes, why do you think it's not your fault.

Dunham: We didn't mean… didn't know what would happen. We were just trying to make people happy and not be fucking depressed all the time. You do know the attempted suicide rate is still at 85%, right?

Agent Charon: That statistic is irrelevant to the investigation.

Dunham: Of course you would say that, it doesn't affect you. You have a nice, paid skin suit you can walk around in, while all of us normal people have to get by with our own rotting bodies and bootlegged robo-bods to scrape by. You don't know what it's like to help these people. We are trying the best we can.

Agent Charon: And those efforts got people turned into heaps of ash that we aren't even sure are dead, so that didn't work out so well.

Dunham: …

Agent Charon: Listen, I understand your pain. I've been stationed at Portlands for thirty years. Manna has been trying all it can, but its stretched to the breaking point. I see people every day, dragging their bodies by their hands. It's awful, but we have to pitch in somehow. But making a death cult is not the right way, I'm sorry. I'll try to get a reduced sentence for you.

Dunham: There's no need to send me to prison.

Agent Charon: How so?

Dunham: Because, I'm already living in my prison. And only death can set me free.

---

Closing Statement: Alice Dunham was compliant with all further questions about the Church of Thanatos. She was given a reduced sentence of 124 years, with a chance of parole. Due to "Faux Reaper" leaving UIU jurisdiction of Three Portlands, and the international threat of the entityt, the investigation was halted and inquiries halted. Collected evidence was given to the SCP Foundation and GOC. Of more pressing concern were the growing riots within Three Portlands at the time, which UIU were dispatched to quell.

Special Containment Procedures: A dome is to be constructed over SCP-5085, and camouflaged to match the surrounding environment. Steel wire netting is to be placed over SCP-5085's hangars. SCP-5085-1 instances attempting to escape the dome are to be caught and neutralized. SCP-5085-A in circulation are to be recalled and destroyed. The mapping of the interior of SCP-5085 is, if possible, to be completed by MTF Zeta-9 "Mole Rats".

Description: SCP-5085 is a three-story building located within the Atiwa montain rainforest in Ghana. SCP-5085 superficially resembles a small Dutch chocolate factory from the 18th century, with the addition of four large brick hangar-like structures constructed on the sides of SCP-5085. The doors of these hangars are incapable of being opened from the outside, and the windows similarly cannot be opened or broken. The only reliable means of egress into SCP-5085 is a small door located on the southern side of the factory. The interior of SCP-5085 is significantly larger that the exterior would allow.

Every 2-3 months, the hangar doors open, allowing the escape of several hundred thousand clockwork constructs (SCP-5085-1) resembling local birds, all with small parcels tied to their legs. Within these parcels are a large variety of chocolate-based confections (SCP-5085-A). These confections are packaged in wrapping consistent with those used by major chocolate manufacturers. SCP-5085-A instances are nonanomalous in nature, but contain some hitherto unknown fatty molecules. The parcels are then flown by SCP-5085-1 to major chocolate distribution sites around the globe, where they are distributed further via normal means.

Interrogation of high-level employees of related chocolate manufacturers shows they had no prior knowledge of SCP-5085's or SCP-5085-A's existence. Further investigation into the affected companies' records show that 26-43% of all their products come from "under the board" sources, either from regions that employ slave labor or SCP-5085 itself. Due to this knowledge, the Foundation has arranged for low-level advertising campaigns calling attention to the chocolate manufacturers' human rights violations.

MTF: Zeta-9 "Mole Rats"
Foreword: Goal of this mission is to establish basic floor plan of SCP-5085, along with documenting any additional hazards or anomalies within the structure itself.
Members: Z-1 (Lead), Z-2, Z-3, and Z-4
Z-1: Mic check.
Z-2: Check.
Z-3: Roger.
Z-4: Loud and clear.
Z-1: Command, we are entering the structure.
Z-1: Mission is a go. Prepare for any disturbances in communication.
Z-3: Roger.
[Z-1 enters structure, followed by rest of the team in sequence. There is a small amount of static that quickly clears. The door opens to an intersection in a large hallway, extending in either direction.]
Z-1: -lit up down this hallway. Mark where you turn with your paint. Meet back here in thirty minutes. Z-3, with me. Z-2, go with Z-4.
Z-2, -3, -4: Roger.
[Z-2 and -4 proceed east relative to entrance, while Z-3 and -1 proceed west.]
[TEN MINUTES OF EXTRANEOUS DIALOGUE OMITTED]
Z-2: Found something.
Z-1: What are you seeing?
Z-4: Looks like the hallway ends in an office. We're going to check for any paperwork or other evidence.
Z-1: Keep an eye out for any Blue traps, this place looks the type to have them.
Z-2: [quietly laughs] Don't worry, those are my specialty.
[Z-2 and -4 enter the office. The majority of the room is taken up by a large oak desk, with several paintings mounted behind the desk, and a large bookcase on the right wall. Everything is covered by a thick layer of dust.]
Z-4: Z-2, do your thing.
[Z-2 raises their hands, rapidly forming different symbols. Glowing blue sigils are inscribed in the air, but nothing else occurs.]
Z-2: Clear.
[Z-2 and -4 sweep through the room, inspecting drawers and books.]
Z-2: The Tome of Enoch, Spells and Witchery of the Heretics, The Faith Corruption of Behavior-Manipulating Substances Such as Cacao and Coffee? The guy who owned this place had some eclectic tastes in literature.
Z-1: Take what you think is useful, we still don't see our end of the hallway yet. Most of the doors are locked. No need to rush.
Z-2: Roger that.
Z-4: May have found something, Z-2 come over here.
[Z-4 uncovers a sheaf of documents from within a drawer in the desk. Written on the first folder is a title in faded cursive.]
Z-1: Same here, found the end of the hallway finally.
[Hallway terminates in a white door with peeling paint. Z-1 opens it to find a stone stairwell leading down.]
Z-4: What is that, German?
Z-2: I dunno. Looks it. What does it say?
Z-4: Uhh, Ver-zend-manifest ver-ing-g'day westin-ditch compag-knee … Y'know what I'm not gonna finish that.
Z-3: Oh, that's Dutch. It means "Dutch West India Company Shipping Manifest".
Z-2: How the hell did you get that from Z-4's attempt?
Z-3: My family is Dutch. We have a thing called "culture," you know.
Z-4: Hey, at least I tried, okay. At least I live in a country bigger than my little finger.
Z-1: Cool it, both of you. We can talk about the pros and cons of where a person is born later. Z-4, take the documents. Z-3 and I are going down the steps.
Z-4: Roger that.
Z-2: There's nothing left here to do besides cataloguing the books, and it is fairly close to the entrance, so you mind if we go to you and back you up, Z-1?
Z-1: I don't mind. Just remember to follow the hallway. It winds a bit back and forth, but there's no forks. Don't bust down the wrong door.
[Z-1 and -3 begin to descend down the staircase]
Z-3: What is that? Is that [sniffs the air] chocolate?
Z-1: Could be. Keep descending. Z-2, -4, we have new activity on our position, be careful on the way down.
Z-2, -4: Roger.
[The staircase empties into a large basement, the ceiling unseen in the gloom. Rows of boilers march into the distance, piles of coals in baskets next to them, their chimneys rising into the darkness above. SCP-5085-1 flutter around the area, depositing coals into the baskets and then launching back into the air. Z-1 steps into the basement, submerging his boot in a thick, viscous substance.]
Z-1: Stay back. What the hell is this on… Is this… chocolate?
Z-3: [pans his flashlight across the nearby floor] Looks like the entire floor is covered with it, probably the source of the smell… Wait, I see movement, by that boiler.
Z-2: What is it, what do you see?
[Z-1 and Z-3 raise their firearms and flashlights in the direction of the offending boiler. An area of the molten chocolate is bubbling. Z-3 walks into the chocolate for a better view.]
Z-1: It's nothing, just nerv-
[Suddenly, out of the bubbles comes the movement of molten chocolate upwards. it slowly builds on top of itself, solidifying and hardening, up until it forms into a skeleton.]
Z-3: What the hell?
Z-1: Hold your fire, do not engage.
The skeleton opens the door to the boiler, the crackling sound immediately increasing. It grabs a handful of coals, emptying them into the boiler. The skeleton repeats this action, visibly melting, until it collapses back into molten chocolate. The chocolate then congeals, forming back into the skeleton, repeating the process.]
Z-3: How long has it been down here doing this?
Z-1: [pans his flashlight around the room] There are more, look. How many exactly are down here?
Z-3: We didn't see them when we walked in, did they just start back up when we got here?
Z-1: Maybe. [The heat indicators on Z-1 and -3's suits are rising] The boilers are turning up the heat in here, we should leave.
Z-3: Roger. Z-2, -4, we're coming up, meet us at the top of the stairs.
Z-2, -4: Roger.
[Z-1 and -3 begin moving back to the stairs.]
Z-3: Wait, hold on. I'm [grunts] stuck.
Z-1: Here, give me your hand. Ready, set, heave.
[Z-1 pulls Z-3, but is unable to get them out.]
Z-3: Shit. Well, just my luck, I guess. Hope this isn't like the quicksand back home where it will tear you in half before letting you escape.
Z-1: That won't happen. C'mon, one more time. Ready, one, two, three. heave.
[Again, Z-3 remains stuck.]
Z-3: Fuck. Do we need a crane or something [Z-3 slowly begins to sink] Wait what, no. No, no, no, no, no. Get me out. c'mon.
[Z-3 tries bracing himself against the stone floor and rolling onto solid ground, but can't. Z-1 grabs them and pulls, but is unsucessful.]
Z-2: We're coming. Just a few more minutes. [Z-2 and -4 begin running down the hallway, but a side door suddenly opens, unleashing a torrent of SCP-5085-1 towards the pair.]
Z-4: Shit! Duck.
Z-1: What's happening over there. We need some support here.
Z-4: Those fucking fake birds, they're swarming us.
Z-2: Actually, they aren't attacking, just flying around us.
Z-4: What's the difference, we still can't reach them without getting an eye poked out. We're going to have to crawl for it.
[Z-2 and -4 begin army crawling down the hallway, still swarmed with SCP-5085-1. At this point, Z-3 has sunken up to his shoulders]
Z-3: Fuck, man. It's so fucking hot in here, it's burning me.
Z-1: Just a few more tries, grab my hand, c'mon.
Z-3: No, you'll just fall in too. Just leave me man. I don't want you to die here.
Z-1: No, I refuse. Stay with me, you can do it.
Z-3: Don't do it chief. It's no good.
[Z-3 sinks underneath the chocolate. Z-1 kneels down, staring at the area where Z-3 disappeared.]
Z-2: What happened with you guys. Hello?
[A loud bubbling sound is heard, Z-1 looks up and shines his flashlight at the source. A large amount of chocolate bubbles are forming around a distant boiler. Z-1 backs up and raises his firearm.]
Z-1: Activity on my position. Z-2, -4, rendezvous at the entrance, don't go to the stairs. Wait for me at the entrance.
Z-4: But-
Z-1: Do as I say.
Z-2: …Roger that.
[The chocolate slowly forms and congeals into another skeleton. This instance doesn't immediately begin work, but slowly looks around its environment, and locks eyes with Z-1. A Zeta-9 MTF badge, along with scraps of clothing, are attached to its body.]
<End Log>
Note: Z-1, -2, and -4 evacuated the premises without incident. Z-2 and -4 were treated for minor lacerations, and Z-1 was recommended counseling. Z-3 presumed MIA. Retrieved documentation dated to the late 18th century.

Addendum-1: Following the implementation of the containment procedures, the rate at which SCP-5085-A instances escaped dropped to near zero. Downgrade of SCP-5085's classification to Euclid permitted. Recommended to sell all stocks in candy manufacturers until market recovers from drop in supply.

Urayuli

I want to make a tale involving a single character in the Alaska wilderness, meeting a urayuli. We don't know what she's doing there until she shoots the urayuli and skins it. The final line would have her pulling her gun on her native guide there. She is there to collect the bigfoot bounty set up by MCD

Description and prose about the surroundings, two snow machines moving across virgin snow, one old and worn and one lovingly maintained. though note is made of the heavy pack strapped to the old and worn machine.

Descriptions about the riders kept vague, layers of insulating material against the biting cold kept their features smothered and androgynous.

The twin growls of the machines was reduced to choked sputters as they come to a halt in a large swamp clearing. The skinny black spruce were bent under the weight of snow, pillars of fallen ice supporting the trees like an old man's cane. The sky above them was a clear cold blue sky, the pale waxing moon above the horizon before its time. They had set out just before dawn, but the long journey and the short winter day meant the sun was beginning to set, the distant Kuskokwim mountains shining a soft pink alpenglow.

One of the figures hopped off of their machine, cursing as their leg sank into the deep snow up to the hip. The other grabbed a pair of snowshoes lashed to their snow machine and put them on, toddling over to the first and offering them a hand, which they accept.

The first figure sits back on their machine and takes off their helmet and mask, shaking out long black hair. Her icy blue eyes surveil their equally cold surroundings, her jaw set. Her English is enunciated and clear. "Where are they?"

Her guide takes off his helmet, revealing a portly Native, his frosty salt-and-pepper beard hugging close to his jowls. His English is clipped and accented. "The machines scare them. They remember the trappers, hunters that came before."

He paced back and forth across the featureless snow, his depressed snowprints shaped for a man twice his size. He looked out across the swamp and mountains, threw his head back and screamed.

The scream was guttural, inhuman, a sound that reminded the woman of two tree-trunks rasping together in a heavy wind, with an undertone of storm and stone. The woman stepped back, waiting for something to happen. Nothing.

The guide paused for a moment, and screamed again. A raven took off from a spruce, quorking in an irritated manner, but nothing more.

He looked back to the woman. "They don't like strangers, I feel. Y'know it's interesting, we've never had a government biologist take an interest in them, before—"

Something heavy lands in the woods with a muffled whumpf, and they both snap their heads in the direction of the sound. The sound continues, mighty weights of snow and brush are pushed aside by a creature too large and heavy to be perched above the deep snow, wading through the drifts like water.

…

Her guide leapt towards his snow machine, to his gun holstered on the hood, deterrent for bears awakened from hibernation too soon. Too slow. She pivots and squeezes the trigger again, the slug burying deep in his gut and throwing him wide, as he slams against the hood of the machine, landing in a heap upon the snow.

The guide propped himself up on the machine, staring at her through half-closed eyes. "Why… Why? They didn't hurt you, they didn't do anything wrong. How could you do such a thing?"

She shook her head as she reached into her bag and grabbed the skinning knife. "It wasn't personal, honest. I have to eat, you know?"

He whispered a barely audible "I'm sorry… I'm sorry," to no one in particular, his tears and blood crystalizing and steaming in the winter chill, the red spoiling the perfect wedding-white snow.

It had been difficult for her, following false leads and dead ends, but paying her bribes well, and talking to a very drunk man in a very dry village had finally paid off. The bounty on this pelt would be sufficient to pay off any of her debts, and then some.

She wrapped the large skin in a burlap sack and placed it in the sled, strapping it down with bungee cords. With a moment of consideration, she went back to the urayuli and kicked some snow over its corpse, and did the same to her guide. A final respect.

With that, she got back on her machine and yanked the cord, letting it leap to life with a mechanical roar. She flicked its headlight on, illuminating the first swirling flakes of falling snow in the rapidly darkening swamp, some descending to melt the still-warm corpses. As she rode back to the village, over the growl of the engine, the hunter thought she could hear the same guttural scream behind her, torn with grief and rage. The wail was picked up throughout the wilderness by other alien voices, singing a tormented sonata to one of the last of their kind.

edmontosaurus

Close-up photo of SCP-XXXX instance "Dakota," found in 2006 by civilian. Confiscated and replaced with nonanomalous replica.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: All discovered Edmontosaurus annectens remains are to be confiscated and replaced with nonanomalous replicas. The discovery of SCP-XXXX instances by civilian paleontologists is to be suppressed, with offending paleontologists amnesticized and evacuated from the dig site. Civilian dig sites where Edmontosaurus annectens fossils have been found are to be covertly taken over and fully excavated by Foundation paleontologists. Fossilized SCP-XXXX are to be placed in a nutrient-rich medium.

All SCP-XXXX are to be cataloged and placed in storage in Site-68, a dedicated paleontological research site in ████████ National Park. Living instances of SCP-XXXX are to be housed in a 5 km² paddock seeded with plant-life similar to that of the instances' natural environment. Instances are to be given medical checks, and sperm and eggs samples taken bimonthly.

SCP-XXXX instances biologically over six years of age, or are damaged beyond repair are to be euthanized via injection of large doses of pentobarbital.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a collective designation for a sister species of Edmontosaurus annectens, tentatively classified as E. nazarene, a facultative bipedal hadrosaur that lived 69-66 million years ago. SCP-XXXX remains appear extremely well-preserved, with mostly intact skeletons and preserved organs and musculature, with clearly defined skin impressions. SCP-XXXX fossils are found in particularly nutrient- and oxygen-depleted areas in the Upper Cretaceous strata of the North American Midwest, particularly near the K-Pg boundary. SCP-XXXX fossils are ██ times more common than any other species of the same time period, and over 50 instances have been found, the majority discovered buried in a single mass grave. Fossils of SCP-XXXX are often misidentified as fossils of Edmontosaurus annectens, as the only significant difference between the species is the SCP-XXXX-1 organ system.

Using high-resolution x-ray microtomography²⁶ a unique organ system was discovered within SCP-XXXX (SCP-XXXX-1), composed of two organs (SCP-XXXX-A and -B), found between the heart and lungs are the center of SCP-XXXX-1. Multiple veins emerge from SCP-XXXX-A and connect to the circulatory system, with capillaries terminating in valves in the epidermis. SCP-XXXX-A is a heart-like organ, circulating a colloidal fluid (SCP-XXXX-C) through the veins. SCP-XXXX-B produces and stores -C in a large sac. SCP-XXXX-1 is separated from the rest of the circulatory system via a semi-permeable border, similar to the blood-brain barrier, which separates SCP-XXXX-C from blood. SCP-XXXX-C is a colloidal solution composed of serous fluid, plasma, carrier proteins, and an enzyme of unknown chemical makeup.

SCP-XXXX-1 is hypothesized to have evolved by nonanomalous means to defend against predators or hibernate in times of scarcity, with SCP-XXXX instances in containment being individuals that were accidentally buried in a landslide or sank into the ocean. In times of high stress, the valves on the epidermis will open and SCP-XXXX-1 quickly pumps SCP-XXXX-C out of the valves. The solution then quickly solidifies into a thin cocoon, encasing SCP-XXXX. This cocoon, which looks superficially similar to sedimentary rock, preserves the body in stasis for an indeterminate amount of time²⁷ until proper conditions are met. The cocoon absorbs nutrients from the environment and delivers it directly to cells, prioritizing the nervous system. Waste is ejected directly into the surrounding strata, creating a hard, dense shell of stone surrounding SCP-XXXX in an impression of the skin and skeleton. When nutrients in its immediate surroundings are depleted, the cocoon slowly grows off-shoots directly horizontally or vertically in search of nutrient deposits, relaying nutrients and SCP-XXXX-C using vascular tissues within the offshoots. In this manner, instances of SCP-XXXX could have a network of solidified SCP-XXXX-C spreading over a hectare, with the largest discovered being two hectares in size.

A "Lazarus" Event takes place in conditions where:

• Temperature is between 13-48 degrees Celsius.
• Humidity is between 78-97%.
• Plant-life similar to those found in the mid-late Cretaceous²⁸ is within a fifty (50) meter radius.
• Atmospheric oxygen level is around 20-31% and relatively free of toxic particulates.

During a "Lazarus" Event, SCP-XXXX-1 enters a state of high activity, absorbing more nutrients from the environment and ceasing to circulate SCP-XXXX-C, instead pumping SCP-XXXX-D to the epidermis, breaking down the cocoon and waste material. SCP-XXXX-D is similar to SCP-XXXX-C, but contains a highly complex acid that breaks down SCP-XXXX-C. While instances of SCP-XXXX can be revived, the majority die soon after a "Lazarus Event" due to extreme starvation or injuries sustained from long-term fossilization. The remaining surviving instance are usually juveniles or infants, theorized to have survived due to a lower sustainable caloric requirement than adults. The success rate of short-term fossilization, from six hours to five months, is much higher, and almost every instance survived.

Discovery: The first instance of SCP-XXXX was discovered in 1921 by Charles Sternberg and his team near Lusk, Wyoming. Originally just thought to be well-preserved, the fossil underwent a "Lazarus Event" while in an associate's care, soon dying of injuries sustained during fossilization. The American Secure Containment Initiative²⁹ intercepted correspondence and confiscated the instance, along with altering or confiscating any correspondence mentioning SCP-XXXX.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: Prerequisite data is to be created to support the theory that SCP-XXXX was created due to sustained submarine volcanic activity in Iceland. Due to the location and nature of SCP-XXXX-1, no containment procedures are required.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers the temporary disappearance of the Sun for the southeast coast of the United States on December 31^st, 1963. According to first-hand accounts, on 12 AM EDT (4 PM GMT) the Sun was observed to shrink or recede, eventually vanishing completely. This event led to substantial meteorological shifts, with localized darkness and abnormally heavy snowfall reported in otherwise subtropical regions, such as Alabama and Louisiana. People residing outside of the affected area do not recall these events occurring, and the Sun's actual astronomical position remained unaltered.

The cold wave ended abruptly three days later, with the Sun rising in all affected areas and temperatures swiftly returning to normal. Three casualties were caused from exposure due to SCP-XXXX; and though the snowstorm caused relatively little property damage, a NASA facility in Georgia was destroyed in a fire immediately prior to the event.

SCP-XXXX-1 are the remains of a Greco-Roman chariot composed entirely of a bronze alloy, appearing to have shattered due to impact exceeding 3000 kph. While faded due to exposure, motifs such as the Sun, flames, and astronomical signs are visibly engraved on the exterior of the chariot. Some of the motifs are covered by a stencil reading APOLLO 0.

Various equine and human remains are located within a five-kilometer radius of SCP-XXXX-1. The equine bodies, estimated to belong to four individuals, consistently emit high levels of radiation, and have varied little in output since discovery. The human remains, belonging to two individuals, appear to be nonanomalous, and wear the remains of prototype spacesuits, emblazoned with the NASA logo.

SCP-XXXX-1 was discovered the day after the dissipation of SCP-XXXX-1, within a hidden region of the Clavius crater located in the southern hemisphere of the Moon.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within Site-11₁, a parallel version of Site-11 nested within the oneironic environment of SCP-XXXX-1. Site-11₁, is to be lightly staffed, with only the minimum amount of personnel needed to keep the site function and clear out any mental blocks that may manifest within the oneironic environment. Several devices and objects are to be utilized in tandem within Site-11 and Site-11₁ to ensure the stability of containment of SCP-XXXX, including Towlson Nooinhibitors, Scranton Reality Anchors, an automated exorcist, and fresh bean burritos³⁰. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be stored in a humanoid containment cell and is to be kept alive using standard medical equipment.

SCP-XXXX is to be kept locked within a happy memory of the host's home, but tinged with a hint of regret as personnel approach the host's bedroom closet. If noospheric entities attempt to approach personnel, personnel are advised to think of their first kiss with Jennifer Fallon, in 73% of encounters the memory demanifests the entities.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the combined weight of psychological trauma within Charles ██████'s mind, designated SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX, when the proper conditions are available, such as an increase in stress-related hormones or something within SCP-XXXX-1, is made physical, clawing out of the ear canal of SCP-XXXX-1, who regenerates soon afterwards. SCP-XXXX possesses multiple appendages, an assymmetrical body plan, and hostility to the majority of life forms.

the unique containment procedures and interactions with one another creates an environment that severely reduces SCP-XXXX-1's cognitohazardous resistance value (CRV), to the point below that was currently accepted to be the natural minimum. It's CRV is so low that passive free-floating cognitohazards within the memeplex of the noosphere can easily pass into SCP-XXXX-1 and mess stuff up.

Archived Special Containment Procedures: Deckard.aic is to monitor civilian surveillance networks for appearances of SCP-4563 instances. Once Deckard.aic flags an instance, MTF Lambda-3 ("Life Model Decay") is to isolate and capture the individual. SCP-4563 instances are to be deactivated and placed into Safe-Rated storage lockers in Site-53.

Description: SCP-4563 was the manifestation of androids within major civilian populations from 1999 to 2012. Instances appeared to be poorly made, with reversed joints, jerky movements, and visible electronic parts, but their appearance was never remarked upon by observers. The androids' design was dissimilar from known producers of androids and did not possess serial numbers or identifying markings that would identify manufacturers. When approached, instances would attempt to interact with subjects, but failed due to misunderstandings of basic human behavior. While able to vocalize, instances spoke in a meaningless language composed of English, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish.

At random intervals, instances would begin emitting an ELF (Extremely Long Frequency) wave into the atmosphere from antennaes approximately 15 kilometers in length contained in extraspatial folds embedded within their cranium. These signals contained video or audio footage pertaining to subjects directly involving or tangentially related to humanity, taken from the perspective of SCP-4563 instances. The instance usually acted as an observer, though cases of the instance actively participating or instigating the footage have been documented.

Addendum 4563.2: On 09/16/12, a broadcast was received by the Foundation ELF receiver array mid-decommission, originating from somewhere beyond the Moon. Due to technical errors from the decommission process, only the following was recorded:

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING. WE HOPE YOU DONATE TO OUR CAMPAIGN AGAINST BALLOT MEASURE 49245 WHICH WOULD REQUISITION 79% OF THE LOS SYSTEM'S HYDROGEN RESERVES. A SPECIAL THANKS TO SIR DAVID ATTENBORROUGH FOR THE NARRATION.

Following this event, SCP-4563 instances ceased manifesting, and SCP-4563 was deemed Neutralized.

MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") is to monitor the South China Sea for SCP-XXXX instances. If spotted, instances are to be shot at with an embedding GPS tracker for monitoring and observation. In the case of retaliation, MTF Gamma-6 are permitted to engage with lethal force. MTF Gamma-6 are to engage with SCP-XXXX instances in the case of an act of piracy being observed.

Ships that have been attacked by SCP-XXXX are to be intercepted at their arrival to their destination, and sailors are to be given Class-A amnestics, with discrepancies removed from cargo manifests and security logs.

Description

SCP-XXXX is the collective designation of the presence of pirate vessels in popular shipping lanes in the South China Sea. These ships, physically resembling large junks³¹, are living organisms, possessing ossified hulls and sails, made of a membrane stretched over articulated appendages. Underwater siphons, like those found in gastropods, providing additional propulsion to the sails, allowing instances to sail at speeds upwards of 40 knots. SCP-XXXX instances are armed, primarily with deck-mounted naval artillery with 180° of rotation. Said artillery fires enameled harpoons to grapple onto target ships, but are also capable of firing 25 mm gas-propelled chitinous shells when engaged in combat. Some larger instances have exhibited growths resembling torpedo tubes within the hull. Due to the living nature of the ships, they are highly resilient and can regenerate the majority of damage sustained in combat. Flaps on the underside of hull can passively filter the water and expand when at low speeds, presumably used for filter feeding. These flaps have also been observed to deploy as a brake for high-speed maneuvers, though repeated use damages SCP-XXXX. Genetic testing of SCP-XXXX remains seized by the Foundation are inconclusive, as results range from mammalian to cephalopodic in origin.

SCP-XXXX are crewed by SCP-XXXX-1, humanoid entities wearing a uniform emblazoned with an unknown logo, a bullet-proof chest plate made out of tightly woven hair, equipment belts holstering anomalous items, and various types of gas masks. SCP-XXXX-1 pilot and maintain SCP-XXXX instances, and boarding container ships³² to steal cargo.. These ships are grappled onto, with SCP-XXXX-1 boarding and incapacitating the crew.

SCP-XXXX-1 have been observed to use anomalous items, such as fleshy sacs that produces spores with amnesticizing effects (SCP-XXXX-1β) and bone growths resembling USB sticks (SCP-XXXX-1δ) to wipe the crew's memories, along with data logs and security camera files, leaving little to no trace of their presence behind. SCP-XXXX-1 rarely kill sailors of target ships, only incapacitating them before loading the stolen containers into SCP-XXXX and departing.

If two or more SCP-XXXX instances approaches the same target simultaneously, one of two events occur. Either the two instances coordinate their attack on the container ship, or they become hostile to each other. In the latter situation, over half of all conflicts have resulted in the mutual destruction of SCP-XXXX instances and all onboard SCP-XXXX-1, with the rest of the cases resulting in the losing SCP-XXXX-1 being individually terminated by gunfire from the opposing ship. The surviving SCP-XXXX will then resume its attack on the cargo ship.

Discovery

Due to their covert methods, and the attribution of missing cargo to rough weather, SCP-XXXX was not discovered until 1997. MTF Gamma-6 ("Deep Feeders") spotted an SCP-XXXX instance engaging a cargo ship in the Malacca Strait during a diplomatic mission to The Dolphin's Communist Republic of Indonesia. Confirming the anomalous nature of the SCP-XXXX instance, MTF Gamma-6 attempted to hail the instance but it quickly disengaged from the cargo ship and sailed away, outpacing the MTF.

MTF Gamma-6 reported the incident, and investigation of cargo manifests and security logs of ships frequenting the South China Sea revealed multiple discrepancies that could be found attributable to SCP-XXXX. Further investigation dated the anomaly's existence to at least 1990. Attempts to contact countries bordering the South China Sea for information about SCP-XXXX have been ignored.

Addendum XXXX.1

Following the successful tagging of several SCP-XXXX instances with GPS trackers, the Foundation was able to discover and track their movements. After several months, researchers noticed the frequency at which SCP-XXXX instances visited the Paracel Islands, a group of islands contested by China and Vietnam. Attempted visitation was impeded by a blockade created by ships belonging to Jade Rabbit Innovations Co., LTD.

A representative of the company hailed the MTF, and suggested a sit-down meeting on his ship. After consulting with command, the MTF leader agreed to the meeting.

Addendum XXXX.2

turns out SCP-XXXX is from Kowloon Walled Cortex³³. Ships are being created by manually shaping tumorous growths on the inside of PTE-10534's stomach lining. They are only pirating because of the low standards of living within KWC, but also being paid by corporations within KWC to attack rival company ships. Due to the Foundation's continued monetary support of charities within KWC.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Samples of SCP-XXXX and infected biological materials are to be kept frozen in the epidemiology wing of Biological Research Area-12. Researchers handling SCP-XXXX must undergo weekly nasal and mouth swabs. If a researcher is found to be infected, they are to be quarantined and undergo a battery of standard antibiotic regimens.

Deceased SCP-XXXX-1 are to be disposed of through incineration, and no autopsies are to be conducted.

Description: SCP-XXXXis a novel bacterium genetically similar to specimens of the Staphylococcus genus — primarily responsible for staph infections — though is significantly larger than others of its genus, around five to ten micrometers in diameter. Unlike its extant relatives, SCP-XXXX is unable to produce Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)³⁴ by itself. The bacteria exhibits several novel adaptations to make up for this deficiency.

The bacterium is able to penetrate the cell membranes of warm-blooded animals with long pseudopods, which are equipped with chemical detectors to track and ensnare carrier proteins of ATP. When in an environment with scarce quantities of ATP, the bacterium cluster together and form collective "tuns," desiccated shells surrounded by protective proteins to conserve energy (Stage 0).

SCP-XXXX does not directly destroy host cells, but the act of absorbing ATP to maintain homeostasis and multiply is enough to inhibit normal cellular activities, such as inter-cellular communication and replication.

SCP-XXXX infections are spread through contact with respiratory droplets from infected individuals (SCP-XXXX-1) if said individual was within Stage 0, and contact through other bodily fluids through subsequent stages. Once the infection reaches Stage 1, the bacterium quickly spreads throughout the body, progressing through several stages:

• Stage 1: Activation—Once conditions become optimal, the bacteria emerge from its desiccated state, releasing chemicals that accelerate the emergence of other SCP-XXXX bacterium. The infection begins to consume ATP from host cells at this time, and the infected individual may report facial muscle aches, tenderness, and necrosis of the tongue, mucous membranes, or eyelids.

• Stage 2: Metastasis—Between six to twelve days after activation, the infection enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the limbs of SCP-XXXX-1, forming large clusters around well-developed muscle groups and neural pathways. The bacterial infection also releases a cocktail of chemicals into the bloodstream, which contain immuno-suppressants, anti-coagulants, and anesthetics, preventing the body from mounting a sufficient immune response, and to keep blood flowing to the affected or damaged areas. At this point, SCP-XXXX-1 may report numbness, stiffness of joints, increase in muscle aches and necrosis, and hemophilia, resulting in increased internal bruising and hemorrhaging. At this stage, the infection shows remarkable resistance to antibiotic therapies and more esoteric regimens.

• Stage 3: Total Infection—Occurs within hours to days of Stage 3, SCP-XXXX-1 has progressed to the final stage of infection. SCP-XXXX deposits can be found in every significant muscle group of the body, as well as the interior and exterior membranes of the organs. However, the brain and thus the cognitive abilities of the host remain unaffected, as the bacterium cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier. Due to the vast amount of ATP both produced by the infected and consumed by the bacterium, the total mass of the individual increases significantly, resulting in severe bloating of the limbs, head, and torso. The host experiences total paralysis, widespread necrosis, and a loss in sensation throughout the body.

• Stage 4: Wind-down—

After progressing to Stage 3, no subjects have been known to recover.

Discovery: The Foundation became aware of SCP-XXXX after the publicized death of a medical examiner in Nome, Alaska, who contracted the disease while interacting with preserved corpses discovered in the melting permafrost. Foundation agents arrived on the scene, confiscated the preserved bodies and SCP-XXXX samples, and amnesticized involved individuals. As per Foundation procedure, the body of the medical examiner was covertly exhumed and recovered for study.

Despite spending several weeks in a low-oxygen environment with no food or water, EKGs showed the brain of the affected subject remaining active and — in a limited sense — aware, though degradation and extreme necrosis of the general nervous system besides the subject's brain renders it unable to experience the outside world. The subject has remained in this state since initial containment in 201█, where it continues to be observed in order to determine the maximum extent of the bacterium's preservative power.

10. There are many issues with the theorized mechanism of goetrophy, foremost of which is the carrier particle of the divine energy itself, an extension of the "Silvia Problem" in regards with Type Greens' effect on the mundane. While it is theorized that divine energy affects change in reality through its own particle, the divine's resistance to observation in a lab means that the property of said particle, or even existence of such, is not readily detected outside of the observation of minor miracles or distant interstellar miracles. But for the purposes of general study, the energies of the divine interact through theoretical fidetrons or goetrons, depending on the discipline.

21. In accordance with Phineas' Law: α₁η₁ = α₂η₂ with η denoting the Hume level in a set volume and α denoting the ambient akiva radiation within that set volume, barring interference via thaumaturgically and religiously active materials such as marble or silver. The inverse relation between Hume levels and akiva radiation is not fully understood, but theories can be found within the treatise How the Presence of God Destabilizes Reality by Phineas Crawford.

22. "Contrary to most Type-Green entities, anomalies with religious or occult origins do not use a high Hume differential to manipulate reality, but instead harness their intrinsically high akiva radiation emissions to mimic the effect of 'normal' Type-Greens. This akiva radiation is more susceptible to changes in the collective human psyche, so the abilities of religious anomalies vary depending on the cultural and religious zeitgeist. This effect means that while the abilities of Hume-based reality benders (H-benders) are more stable than those based on akiva radiation (A-benders), A-benders can be potentially more powerful than any H-bender possible just by being tied to the ebb and flow of humanity's gestalt impact on the noosphere…" -Phineas Crawford, Religion Versus the Abnormal: How Belief Creates Anomalies

23. Pre-Ω-K status.

24. "The Church of Thanatos" was formed shortly after the Ω-K "End-of-Death" Scenario of 2020, and is an occult religious organization that believes Ω-K was a "trial by fire" created by the gods to test humanity, and it will be reversed when humanity discovers a method of permanently finding a way into the afterlife, usually by suicide by occult ritual or anomalous object. Most sermons by the Church often include plays or skits, reenacting moments related to Ω-K in the form of parables, such as the last moments of Geoffrey Bridges, the last person to die, or their congregation reaching the gates of Paradise after succeeding in dying. Created by Adrian Valencia (PoI-4028), a retired VFX (Visual Effects) artist and motivational speaker, GoI-9541 has experienced widespread underground popularity in occult circles, and many anomalous organizations endorse their efforts, if not their beliefs.
