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 Davies1. //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.

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.
hell vegas, anomalous tumbleweeds containing human souls, capable of transforming people by piercing their skin. originally started near Las vegas, but spread out. Foundation, along with department of the interior, are trying to cull the spread, including trying herbicide, flamethrowers, and finally firebombing small towns.
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.
Discovery Log:
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 pounds2. 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 senet3.
[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.]

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 cassette4 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 bloodstream5, 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.

Addendum XXXX.1: Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered in 1997 after a sharp spike violent crimes in the Miami, FL metropolitan area. The newly established Department of Analytics flagged this trend as potentially anomalous, and MTF Epsilon-6 "Village Idiots" was deployed to investigate. During their three-week investigation, they discovered a suspect that was near the majority of the recent crimes David Rubik, a prolific stringer8 in the Miami area with a joint-Master's degree in optical and mechanical engineering. Tracking down the last-known address of Rubik, Epsilon-6 raided the house, finding it empty, except for SCP-XXXX and the blueprints for its construction, along with several other, seemingly scrapped, variants of SCP-XXXX.
David Rubik seemed to have fled just hours before the raid, and presumed to have left the state. Rubik is now designated PoI-XXXX2 and his description has been passed off to the UIU, in exchange for extradition to a Foundation Site once captured.

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.
Painting of Salish Wool Dog, and Coastal Salish women weaving blanket out of its fur.
SCP-XXXX-a were utilized in a variety of different ways, often using them as analogues to Old World livestock. SCP-XXXX-a's sterility and capabilities led to SCP-XXXX-1 becoming a center of trade, and the proliferation of SCP-XXXX-a instances across much of the Pacific Northwest. Curiously, despite being an economic powerhouse, SCP-XXXX-1 never spread its religious beliefs and customs, most likely due to their extremely foreign nature compared to the relatively benign local beliefs.
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 Siyám9 and the Chá:xw10. 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 Initiative11 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.

Special Containment Procedures: A network of Foundation satellites, particularly Aquinas-3, is to monitor global akiva12 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 radiation13, 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 reality14 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 disorder15 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 Thanatos16" 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 DMT17 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:
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:
![]() |
UNUSUAL INCIDENTS UNITInterview 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.
Item #: SCP-5085
Southern face of SCP-5085
Object Class: Keter Euclid
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.
Exploration Log:
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.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is the middle superior lobule, located within the ███████ lobe of the brain. The middle superior lobule is found in 5% of the population, and assists with the parsing of both logical and illogical information, particularly the handling and disposal of potentially hazardous memes or cognitohazards. Humans with middle superior lobules have consistently ranked higher on the CRV scale18, can easily grasp mathematical and abstract concepts, and are better at decision making. The middle superior lobule has been traced in the fossil record to at least 200,000 years ago, and has been found in several human subspecies so far, both anomalous and nonanomalous including: Homo neanderthalensis, Homo sapiens sidhe and Homo ignotus. The lobule has been present in the brain for as long as spoken language, so it is unknown how it has not become ubiquitous in baseline humanity in the present.
SCP-XXXX-1 is an electro-thaumaturgic device designed to assist and enhance the function of SCP-XXXX. It is composed of a metal skull plate with several thaumaturgic wards seared into the metal. Probes on the underside of the plate interface directly with the middle superior lobule, allowing a small current from a micro-lithium ion battery to flow through the brain19. Designs for SCP-XXXX-1 were first discovered in a raid on a Maxwellist enclave, with the documentation found under the title "Project Perspicuitatem." Early experiments on consenting Foundation personnel were successful, but in an effort to understand the long term side effects of the device, a longitudinal study was launched using D-class that were born in Foundation facilities. Two groups were formed, one was a group with SCP-XXXX present, while the other was a control group with a baseline brain, but still had SCP-XXXX-1 installed.
Personal log of Dr. Jonah Amadeus, Head Researcher of PROJECT: PERSPICUITATEM REDUX, Site-43:
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The SCP-XXXX population is to be maintained in their current location within the Aquatic Wing of Area-12. Their habitat is to be reminiscent of their former environment, very dark. The salinity is always to be kept at a salinity of 43‰.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the species Hemigrapsus estellinensis, an extremely rare species of troglobitic crabs, with the only known population within the Foundation's possession.
Instances possess the capability to instantaneously move from one location to the next, used as a defense mechanism. This activity is very energetically taxing, so SCP-XXXX will only use it when necessary.
SCP-XXXX came into the Foundation's posession when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built a dike near Estelline Salt Springs, where the species was originally located. This dike caused an increase in the salinity springs, and they teleported into custody or whateve.r
Incident log: During a routine maintenance check of the habitat of SCP-XXXX, a power surge occurred which turned off the , which caused a rapid increase of the water's salinity. The individual who was repairing the quickly expressed severe pain and blindness. A medical check revealed that several hundred eggs were lodged within the eye sockets of the employee. After an emergency surgery, the majority of the eggs were removed and placed back in the habitat without issue. The employee is currently on medical leave.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: Project REFOCILLO. An exact replica of Archimedes' brain, wired into a mechanical chassis. Has the ability to reconstitute objects via control of the weak nuclear force. Created by Alexvyla University as part of Project REFOCILLO, designed to resurect history's greatest minds. (hannibal and maybe some others.)
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 microtomography20 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 time21 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 Cretaceous22 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 Initiative23 intercepted correspondence and confiscated the instance, along with altering or confiscating any correspondence mentioning SCP-XXXX.
Correspondence of Charles Sternberg: Irrelevant correspondence has been omitted from the record.

My dear Sir:-24
At last after untiring efforts extending through 4 months and a half I have succeeded in hauling and packing my great collection, the best by far ever taken out of San Juan Co. N.M. The Triceratops skull, though badly crushed will make a fine mount. The specimen worth all the rest, No. 113 [113th fossil found] a duck-billed trachodon likely Kritosaurus of Brown are new, and in remarkable condition. I found it on the 3rd of sept. and worked with all the powers to get it out before cold weather. I had several bad storms and it froze every night hard. I hired a four horse team to haul it in, the skeleton so large and complete. I have packed the entire collection and am waiting to hear from Richards & Co. Shipping Agents, 29 Broadway N.Y. as I can not load on the car here until I learn that they will pay the freight.
[…]
But under the circumstances I am forced to sell the skeleton to you. I have sold skeletons no better for $2000. You will realize however I could not in honor retain what I consider worth all the rest. There are about 60 turtles of 5 or 6 families of them 25 are splendid for Museum specimens. I will write later.
Faithfully,
Charles H. Sternberg

Mr. Charles H. Sternberg,
Dear Sir,
Your boxes have arrived in fairly good condition, but I have not as yet had time to unpack them. I do not know anything about the condition in the boxes. A few of the boards are broken, but I hope that it is nothing dangerous. In the biggest of the boxes a large empty space shines through,so it seems as if the packing had not been compact enough for the heavy specimen of trachodon. The plaster of the trachodon cast has cracked and rock can be seen poking through the cleft. I shall remind you to not let your sons cast the fossils, as they are clearly still amateurs. I have also received your kind letter and the corrected list. Thanking you for all your kindness, I regard sincerely that as I have already informed you in a previous letter, it is impossible for me this year to avail myself of your otherwise very tempting offer.
Yours very truly,
C.W.
Upsala January 30th, 1923
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your letter of December 3[r]d.I have had pressing concerns recently regarding the museum in the last months that I have not as yet had the time to write, although I am very eager to see the fine collection you have amassed in your work at Kirtland and am impatiently looking forward to begin the interesting work on the specimens.I regret to say, that it is impossible for me now to raise the money for your last months work, as an incident has arisen. One of the remains that were sold to me by you, the trachodon, was not, in fact, fossilized at all, but alive, as a butterfly within a crysalis[sic]. My attendants and I were renovating the fossil wing and had purchased some plants from the South that my attendants had assured me would fill the room with wonder and mystique. No sooner had the plant entered the hall that a great cracking like thunder was heard from across the hall. I was afraid that Tomas had broken it, the damn ape, but he was nowhere near the speciman[sic] at the time. Then, like Jesus on the third day the trachodon rose from within the rock, a poor skeleton of the real thing, by my estimation, with sunken eyes and exposed ribs. It collapsed, writhing and crawling on the marble floor, missing both hind legs. The beast bled out and promptly died.
Due to the costs of cleaning and refurbishing the area, it has been deemed too expensive to purchase any more items from you or your compatriots, so I am sorry to say we must cut all business ties unless further funding becomes available.
Yours very truly,
C.W.

Audio/Visual Transcript
Foreword: Transcript of first successful Foundation revival of SCP-XXXX instances. Specimen chosen were a mother and infant, selected for their low biological age and intact body. Specimen were revived in Warehouse ██-B, chosen for climate control capabilities and relatively large interior as a greenhouse.
<Begin Transcript>
Specimen have just been wheeled into Warehouse ██-B by staff.
Professor Horner: [Over intercom] Alright, all staff retire to observation room. T-minus 30 seconds until Attempt-03. Please do not remain within the warehouse as to not affect the outcome of the experiment.
Staff evacuate warehouse, leaving it empty. Countdown reaches zero and Professor Holtz begins to increase humidity within the warehouse with the cooling misters.
Junior Researcher Pines: [whispering] So, Miles, what do you think is going to happen?
Senior Researcher Miles: [whispering] Odds are its going to come back to life in pieces like the last two. Hopefully, one of the specimen will come out in one piece.
Professor Horner: Humidity is now at sixty-five percent. Increasing it to seventy-five percent.
Junior Researcher Pines: Do you think it would be more humane if we just-y'know-left them in the fos-cocoons until we can put them back together again?
Senior Researcher Miles: Nah, the site director's getting tetchy. Says she wants samples of the DNA for sequencing or possible cloning. Drilling into the cocoon kills the dino as much as just letting it break free, so might as well see if it'll live by doing it the "natural way."
Junior Researcher Pines: Huh… Do you think she just wants us to do these tests because she wants to see an alive specimen?
Senior Researcher Miles: …Kid, you are standing in a room of paleontology majors, most with PhDs, most who are the experts in every single field imaginable about ancient extinct life, and you are asking us whether we want to see an alive dinosaur.
Junior Researcher Pines: …Yeah, I am, I guess.
Professor Horner: Humidity now at seventy-five percent. Stopping humidity increase, and recording results.
The observation room is absolutely silent.
Junior Researcher Pines: …Do you think it'll wo-
The adult female cocoon sudden makes a large cracking sound.
Senior Researcher Miles: [Low whistling] Thar she blows. Fingers crossed, ladies.
The cracked debris grows into a mound, rhythmically pulsing. With a great ripping sound, the female lurches out of the fossil, covered in dust and rock.
Professor Horner: The instance is about half the size that the fossil indicates, perhaps the impressions is just waste matter forming a projection of the skeleton…
Junior Researcher Pines: She looks starved.
The instance appears extremely malnourished and emaciated, with sunken eyes and exposed ribs.
Senior Researcher Miles: You would be too if you went on a crash diet for 60 million years. She's probably dying as we speak. [into intercom] Can we get Jacob and his crew down here? We need a TPN for a large skip, a two liter IV drip, and some INSERT MEDICAL TERMS HERE, stat. We got a dying hadrosaur on our hands.
Specimen appears confused and disoriented, but quickly focuses and moves towards the infant specimen, still within the fossil. Tiny cracks are webbed across its surface. A tiny chirping sound can be heard emanating from the instance.
Unidentified Observer: The chick is pipping.
A murmur of agreement is heard in the observation room.
Junior Researcher Pines: What's the mother going to do? Build a nest, break the infant's cocoon, what?
The hadrosaur opened its jaws, lowering its head down to the still-struggling infant. Using its lower jaw, it pries a crack open and removes some of the cocoon, giving the younger specimen room to break out of the cocoon.
Senior Researcher Miles: [chuckles] Obviously it would take care of its children. It is related to the "good-mother dinosaur," after all.
The infant emerges from its cocoon, blinking rapidly to clear the billowing dust from its bulbous eyes. Its mother huffs loudly, blowing debris off of the hatchling. The hatchling and mother stare at each other, and then the mother nuzzles the hatchling.
Professor Horner: For starving animals, the mother is acting pretty calm. I wouldn't send any medical personnel down there just yet, though. Send some leaves and twigs in through a chute or window and let them adjust. Leave them alone for now. They've been apart from each other for sixty-eight million years.
The older specimen begins to create the lining of a nest, using soil from some pots. The mother lays down and curls around the hatchling, falling asleep.

Addendum XXXX/1: Research into the possibility of other anomalous hadrosaur species is ongoing.
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 31st, 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.
Cyvstvi (positive)
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 burritos25. 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.
Discovery:
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.
Special Containment Procedures
The Foundation and the GOC are to covertly donate $5,000,000 USD per annum through MTF Iota-5 ("Leper's Delight") to interest groups and charities situated within Kowloon Walled Cortex (KWC) and involved Asiatic governments, for the purpose of advocating for human rights within anomalous enclaves under control of said governments. Efforts are to be made to restrict or dissuade immigration to KWC and related enclaves. Civilian travel to the Paracel Islands is to be forbidden, under the guise of a hazardous waste dump.
Archived Special Containment Procedures
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 junks26, 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 ships27 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 Cortex28. 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.
Colony of Red Fire Ants, somewhere in the outskirts of new orleans. can assume the form of multiple animal species, but usually sticks with human. Doesn't have a nest, with the queen situated where the "heart" of the animal should be. Primarily carnivorous, eating animals in the 10-20 kg range, but has been known to scavenge from animal corpses larger than that. Not sentient, was first seen near an orphanage before containment.
A couple from the 60s, each able to teleport to the location of the other. The wife dies in the 70's, and the husband is used for the Foundation space program, as he could teleport to the location of his wife's bones. Explores the initial locations on Europa, Mars, and Titan, each where rockets flew some bones. Finally, on Io, he stops and allows his oxygen tank to run out, as he was done chasing his wife around the solar system.
CoUC format. They find a couple of Bronze Narcissus Mirrors in the Indus River Valley. Rising Tensions between the EIC and CoUC, as the EIC wants to use anomalies against competition and civilians. CoUC withdraw, but the EIC knick the narcissus mirrors before they are lost, and use them to force the natives to work for them. Opium War stuff. After several years, the mirrors are returned to the CoUC by the EIC in disgust, as lacking the mirrors, instead of being incentivized, the natives became lethargic and sat near reflective surfaces, staring at their face

Foundation discovered them on a raid on "Sheevra's Collectibles Emporium" in Dublin, marketed ostensibly as a gift shop selling unique trinkets, but in reality was selling fairies bounded wtih geases. After Foundation acquistion of the fairies, a letter was found on the entrance of the site, penned by "Titania," asking for the return of the fairies at a grassy knoll near the site. The Foundation Department of Analytics discovered that afterwards, plant growth, rate of cellular repair, and morale increased whereas incidents of disease, injury, and poisoning decreased at the site. Other exchanges of low-grade or harmless humanoids with Titania has been recommended by the Foundation History Department to faciliate good relations with the POI.
