SCPs

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The only known instance of SCP-XXXX is installed on a Samsung Galaxy S8+ model mobile phone. It is currently stored in Locker-18J, Site-64.

Foundation web crawlers will continue to monitor digital marketplaces for further occurrences.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a mobile phone application, WriteWithFriends, with the appearance and general functionality of an IRC client. Upon activation, the program will connect to the IRC server in closest proximity to the device, and automatically join the highest populated channel, irrespective of the device's network connection or security implementations of the server/channel. Text from only one member of the channel (designated SCP-XXXX-1) is displayed in SCP-XXXX; the method by which the member is selected has not been determined. No other text but that from SCP-XXXX-1 is visible in the program; text from the program is visible to SCP-XXXX-1 in the form of a user-to-user chat.

Immediately upon instigation of the chat, SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to undergo physical and psychological changes universally described as adhering to qualities considered desirable by the user of the program. Due to the inherent variances across human biology and the subjective nature of which traits are sought after, each instance of X-1 is wholly unique.

((HERE THERE BE TABLE WITH PHYSICAL/BEHAVIORAL CHANGES))

Text from SCP-XXXX-1 is altered to appear in the best possible context relative to the user and input provided to SCP-XXXX. Users of SCP-XXXX are frequently persuaded to continue conversation; this is not believed to be a compulsory effect, but rather the natural result of positive interaction between two individuals.

((HERE THERE BE TABLE WITH TEXT CHANGES))

Foundation personnel were alerted to possible anomalous activity when an instances of SCP-XXXX-1 (designated XXXX-1a, formerly Brian Summers, ████ █████████ ██, New York, New York, USA) entered a voluntary psychiatric program at Bellevue Hospital, presenting symptoms of depersonalization disorder. Pictorial evidence documenting XXXX-1a's previous appearance showed evidence of extreme physiological deformations; he was remanded to Foundation custody, where he directed agents to the apartment of one Bernadette Zimmerman; XXXX-1a had recently entered into a relationship with Zimmerman, and believed her to be the cause of his changes.

The apartment contained thousands of samples of literature written by Zimmerman; all but one (Document XXXX-A, transcribed below) are marked with extensive self-criticism in the extraneous spaces, and many were found torn and discarded haphazardly. Zimmerman was found deceased; autopsy proved cause of death to be exsanguination via self-inflicted wounds to the wrists. Document XXXX-A and the phone containing SCP-XXXX were found near the corpse. No other signs of anomalous activity were discovered.

Zimmerman was unemployed, having failed several attempts as a freelance author. No other personal connections aside from SCP-XXXX-1a were noted.

Juvenile SCP-2238-1.

Item #: SCP-2238

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2238-1 instances kept for study are to be housed in a temperate, brackish paludarium, alongside a variety of fish belonging to the subclass Dipnoi and vegetation serving to replicate a subtropical environment. When conscious, instances must remain within an Üngrith Relativistic Field; instances must be anesthetized prior to violation of the URF. Recovery teams must maintain administration of anesthetics throughout the duration of transit, irrespective of potentially lethal levels of toxicity. Under no circumstances can contained instances be allowed to consume a member of the order Coelacanthiformes.

Fossil records of SCP-2238-1 are to be archived within Reliquary Vault C-127-West at Storage Site-77 under Preserved status. New discoveries should be recovered in a manner consistent with the current standards for public anachronism exposure.

In the event of a hunting incursion, MTF Rho-3 is instructed to capture one instance per forty minute interval; all other living instances are to be terminated prior to a return to their temporal baseline.

Deliberate communication with SCP-2238-1 instances will result in immediate termination.

Description: SCP-2238 SCP-2238-1 instances are members of Spheniscus mendiculus which possess an additional organ within their digestive system, and a glioblastoma multiforme near the surface of their parietal lobe. SCP-2238 is capable of translocation through currently-unknown methods.

On March 17th, 1995, Foundation listening posts in Madagascar logged a communication between the commercial fishing vessel RVS-02414 and local port authorities regarding "multiple flashes of violet light" directly below the water's surface, and the sudden appearance, and subsequent disappearance, of large numbers of penguins. Response teams under the guise of the International Seabed Authority utilized Disinformation Protocol CIBH-24 ("Exxon-Valdez"), and Class-C Amnestics were administered to critical persons. Mobile Task Force Rho-3 ("Mr. Peepers") was activated and stationed in Hell-Ville to monitor for further activity.

A single deceased specimen was recovered; autopsy revealed an organ of unknown function, superficially resembling cellular mitochondria. Attempted biopsy of the glioblastoma resulted in a complete dissolution of the brain into a cellular gel. Genetic analysis showed variance within acceptable parameters for the species, and no other abnormalities were detected.

RELATIVE DISCREPANCY LOCK ENGAGED.

((This will be a supplement, but it's below.))

Addendum I: Containment procedures make use of technology currently under development by staff at Area-242; namely, Üngrith Relativistic Field generators. An URF generator enforces temporal normality in a localized area relative to external conditions by inciting sympathetic vibrations within the ambient tachyon field; this method was achieved through a structural redesign of the Xyank/Anastasakos Constant Temporal Sink.¹ SCP-2238-1 instances have shown no use of their temporal manipulation abilities within the URF.

O5 Directive 2238-1 forbids the direct interaction of an XACTS and an URF, on the recommendation of Dr. Thaddeus Xyank, Chair, Department of Temporal Anomalies.

Addendum II:

Addendum III: DATE Ethics Committee Superior Order 2238-Alpha forbids summary termination of living organisms in the family Spheniscidae, nullifying the previous majority vote by O5 Command and restricting rescindment to a supermajority vote of two-thirds.

"One can only assume this level of disagreement provided the rationale behind the Administrator's insertion of this operational clause, and, agreeable or not, we can not tolerate disintegration of our core structure, especially in the midst of potentially disastrous consequences." - O5-1.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Field Agents encountering instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to contact the nearest Foundation personnel with Clearance Level 4/XXXX-UT. Misinformation Protocol IMOC-4 ("Bugs Bite") is to be employed to facilitate containment. Presence of mature instances of SCP-XXXX-1-C or radiation levels exceeding 220 µSv/hr mandates immediate mobilization of MTF Theta-4 ("Gardeners"); civilians and non-essential Foundation personnel within 10 km are to be forcefully evacuated.

Ongoing exploration of SCP-XXXX is conducted in Laboratory 1(RAD-P), Area-12. Unanticipated increase of ambient radiation approaching laboratory tolerance, or alert of systems failure at Site-103 mandates termination of SCP-XXXX-1-B instance using any Grade 6 or higher desiccant. Additional instances of SCP-XXXX-1-B approved for use are located on-site in Bio-Tank 16.

Colony-XXXX-Rho is maintained at Research Site-613, operating under Protocol U-Thant, with an upper limit of thirty-seven extant instances of SCP-XXXX-1-B. Heavy water siphoning process is to begin when the D2O:H2O ratio reaches 5:1. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1-C are to be harvested and stored in Silo-1-2-3. Non-anomalous fruits are to be cataloged prior to disposal per Green Initiative 3.

SCP-XXXX-1.16 is stored at Biological Containment Site-103, Cold Locker CPD-0X23. In the event of a systems failure, priority contact must be established with Area-12.

SCP-XXXX-1-C.09 is held at Site-103, Greenhouse 3A, suspended in a pool of desalinated water replicating natural pond conditions. Appearance of SCP-XXXX-1-D or any observable deterioration is to be immediately noted.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sensory-receptive organism inhabiting a population of Nymphaea odorata (“American white waterlily”), which contain SCP-XXXX can be readily identified by an acrid odor significantly different from the norm² and minute traces of H₂S in the vicinity. Affected plants (designated SCP-XXXX-1) exhibit a distinctive reproductive cycle, with icosahedral seed pods forming in place of fruit bodies; pods are attached to the flower at the receptacle and remain floating,³ with 3-5 pods present per flower.

Local water containing a D₂O concentration of greater than 500ppm is also indicative of SCP-XXXX-1 infestation, as populations of lilies have been found to contain normal specimens of lily alongside anomalous instances; visual and olfactory identification is often masked as a result.

For further anomalous biological properties, see:

Containment Log: SCP-XXXX-1

On 12/Dec/19██, Foundation Atmospheric Outpost-31 detected a thermonuclear explosion at coordinates 66°05'54"N, 94°55'12" W, in the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement area of Nunavut, Canada. Dissemination arrangements with affiliated governments resulted in a Foundation-directed investigation, with the discovery of SCP-XXXX-1 in the personal ponds of Messers. ███████ █████, Bangor, Maine, United States and █████ ████████████, Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada; further trajectory and meteorological analyses yielded a 1,853 km potential spread radius from the initial site. Within the first 18 months, 1,362 instances of SCP-XXXX-1 and constituent structures were catalogued; since, a mean of 37 instances have been discovered per annum, and investigations continue indefinitely.

SCP-XXXX is a biological entity residing collectively within extant rhizomes of SCP-XXXX-1. When bisected and

-1 is plant. -B is rhizome. -C are seed pods. -D is seed. -2 is "Island of Stability" element.

Inside the rhizome is a semipermeable membrane that leads to a self-contained extradimensional space. The outer boundary is a fibrous shell that self-replicates faster than it can be removed. Large cell-like masses correlate to particular rhizomes, and are connected to the central mass via elastic cords. Odd-stacked pillars are interspersed with more cells, and the entire structure is covered with weird collections of elements. Lots of radiation floating around, corrosive atmosphere. The interior of the mass is impenetrable by equipment capable of maintaining function in the space, and imaging techniques are useless with the ambient radiation.

The water lilies are normal except where affected by XXXX; they are capable of producing non-anomalous instances during growth, but the trend is to produce XXXX. When a large enough colony of lilies is established, they begin to extract water through rhizomes and release deuterium oxide. Once that concentration is high enough, they begin to produce XXXX-1-C, which are icosahedral, made of a highly-resistant polymer, and capable of surviving a fission event; get enough of them, the rhizomes release T2O and -2, which is a stable trans-uranic element. Then they 'splode, and scatter the pods to propagate growth.

The only way to keep XXXX contained without destroying it is to keep a flourishing colony of lilies, siphoning the D2O from the container and replacing it with water, preventing finalization of the reproductive process and explosion. This results in an excess of D2O and -1-C.

What I Want:
Foundation uses the D2O as well as selling it, and experimentation has yielded usable materials from the pod's polymer, which are being implemented as armor and stuff. They're also collecting the -2 element for study, since it's not currently able to be reproduced in a laboratory setting. The pod's waiting to drop seeds because the Foundation has yet to see a juvenile plant created post-explosion. Represented by a series of test results/"exploration log".

Explanation of Protocol U-Thant, which details the cross-Foundation procedures for containing "wild" instances of the plant, requisition of new materials from various sites, production of useful items, and allocation of plant parts to the various facilities.

Extra security clearance for Project U-Thant: History of containment, and Foundation organizational discussions regarding use of a relatively safe anomaly's by-products of containment vs meaning of "containment." As pseudoscience approaches Foundation-level science, more approval is granted for use of the -1-X's.

What I'd Like to Convey:
The only true anomaly is the interior of the extradimensional space and the means by which the object does what it do. The Foundation, aside from seeking undiscovered wild instances (both through field inspection and plotting the interior object), has this thing contained. However, the processes inside the anomaly are fascinating, and almost within the grasp of Foundation science. They're keeping it open as they work to figure it out, but doing so produces a lot of understood, useful material. The "weird" factor is the "nuclear power 'plant,'" and the "interesting" factor is what the Foundation is doing with it.

I realize that my ability to form a narrative within the SCP structural style is the true mitigating factor on whether or not this will work. Making the incredible assumption that I can, or will work on this until I can:

The Containment Procedures should be considered complete. Please evaluate them as such.
Is there enough of a hook inherent with the anomaly that a reader could be persuaded to view the exploration log?
Is a collapsible for Protocol U-Thant, another for a test/exploration log, and a "higher clearance" supplement for Project U-Thant "too much?"

-> Protocol UT details the operations of the D2O front company and proper specimen collection, as well as how to determine if "wild" instances should be terminated or contained. This could easily be left out if felt unnecessary.
-> The test/expo log is where the anomaly is described, and enough results are given to (hopefully) interest the reader in how the Foundation is making use of the by-products, especially the new "Island of Stability" element.
-> Project U-Thant is where I would really go into the "ethical dilemma" of keeping an SCP contained for the purposes of furthering Foundation science, for no other reason than science.

Extra Notes: Picture is mine. I'm going to try to get a better one, the location makes it tricky to not get people and other things in it. My wife's going to "green up" the water somewhat for coolness. I might also get a small picture of the flower, in addition to resizing and hosting the current one properly.

Below this line is garbage, but I need it to remember everything.

Old Ideas to be converted: SCP-XXXX superficially resembles a member of species Nymphaea odorata ("American white waterlily"). Its rhizome (SCP-XXXX-B) replaces water with ²H₂O at a ((math rate)); SCP-XXXX-A will enter a reproductive cycle when concentration of D2O reaches ((science!)), forming a(n) ((open conical tube)) of icosahedral seed pods (SCP-XXXX-C) over a period of 29-36 days; flowers produced exhibit "completeness" and release small concentrations of H₂S.⁴ SCP-XXXX-B will release ³H₂O for an additional 3-7 days before undergoing nuclear fission, resulting in an explosive yield directly proportional to the squared value of local T2O concentration. All instances of SCP-XXXX-B contain a shared extradimensional space (SCP-XXXX-B-1). See Addendum XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX-C is composed of an organic polymer 86% Carbon, 12% Titanium, and 2% [DATA EXPUNGED] (SCP-XXXX-C-2), displaying a Mohs hardness of 9.5. Complete pods are resistant to ((Force units!). Imaging systems are unable to penetrate the exterior; dissection reveals 0.03 mL of H₂SO₄ per chamber. No seeds (SCP-XXXX-C-1) have been discovered.

Addendum XXXX-1: Repeated attempts to promote appearance of SCP-XXXX-C-1 have shown rapid decay of specimens when not contained in an environment replicating natural locations. Indefinite extension of test subject SCP-XXXX-Cϑ approved.

+ PROJECT U-THANT: LEVEL 4/XXXX-UT REQUIRED

So, "Lime in the Coconut." The tree was found as the center of ritual for an "uncivilized" tribe in Brazil, ~1600. It's a coconut tree, but inside the nuts also grow limes. The coconut milk contains large amounts of a slightly-variant beta-glucoside similar to salicin and inactive CO2 crystals. The lime contains concentrations of bismuth, sodium, and magnesium. When the two are mixed, it acts as an
<Apoplexic> antacid and pain reliever, so the tribe used it as their "warrior's drink."
<Apoplexic> But it also causes imbibers to have reduced opinions of the mental capacities of genetic females, causing them to believe that the females lack the innate sense of logic, rational, and intelligence of men.
<Apoplexic> And then containment and experiments and so forth.
<Apoplexic> "Lime in the Coconut."
<FFT> so the coconut milk is Pepto Bismol?
<Apoplexic> Mixing the milk with the lime makes pepto bismol upon digestion, yeah, but salicin is normally found in willow bark and is the historic origin of aspirin.
<Apoplexic> So it's both basically. Only organically.
<FFT> yep yep
<FFT> Honestly it sounds like it could potentially exist somewhere in the rainforest
<Apoplexic> Right? There's some freaky shit down there.
<FFT> the thing I'd be careful with
<FFT> is the anomalous phenomenon
<Apoplexic> Yeah, but without it, it's just a lime growing in a coconut.
<FFT> since you've made it a little too realistic readers may question the validity of the "anomaly"
<FFT> "I take pepto and I don't think girls are weird"
<Apoplexic> True.
<FFT> I think you could screw with the makeup of the coconut milk a little bit, sprinkle in a bit of some unknown organic substance or something
<FFT> make it ever-so-slightly less realistic
<Apoplexic> Oh I'm sure I will.
<FFT> Not to the point of absurdity mind you
<FFT> though if you do end up writing it as a -J it may work
<Apoplexic> Yeah the Foundation's experiment log is where I can either make it humorous or not, depending on reception.
<Apoplexic> I just want the meat of what it is out of the way first before I figure out if it should be funny.
<Apoplexic> Since my "lovely bunch of coconuts" has already been done, and was not funny.
<FFT> right right
<FFT> I think it has potential
<FFT> I'd read that
<FFT> Depending on the supporting content is where I'd upvote or not though
<Apoplexic> On a positive note though, "we're" still just guessing what the proprietary structure of bismuth subsalicylate is, and Pepto's been out for ages.
<Apoplexic> So it this case, it wouldn't be hard to have an "unknown" structure in there causing the sexism.
<Apoplexic> Mhm, I'm at the very least having a translation of the original Portuguese explorer's discovery of the tribe in there.

FFT nod

<Apoplexic> And also, to "contain" it, the Foundation set up a fake lumber operation in the rain forest, and subsequently a fake "protest" against it, which lead to it being suspended indefinately.

Item #: SCP-2832

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: 50% of SCP-2832 is maintained in cryostasis at each of Area-318 and Area-09. Biomass of SCP-2831-1 is held in a standard gelatinous storage tank at Site-62.

Description: SCP-2832 is a 133,678.14 kg mass of Macrocystis pyrifera (giant bladder kelp). Instances reach prime sexual maturity within 48±1.3 hours, function as normal for 28±0.9 days, and then terminate, decaying into a gelatinous state within 82±1.7 minutes. This substance, designated SCP-2832-1, is a uniform mixture of sugars, phospholipids, and nucleic acids, most notably dexyribose, and will remain in this state until all instances of SCP-2832 have terminated; at this time, the outer boundaries will calcify rapidly, through unknown methods. SCP-2832 will undergo internal changes over a period of 2.3 days before the outer shell is likewise converted, producing a different form of organic specimen.

The Foundation was first alerted to SCP-2832 on 6/June/198█ when a beached B. musculus⁵ had been reported by locals as having “turned into Jell-o” shortly after dying. SCP-2832 was fully calcified upon arrival of Field Agents; during staging of “Project Mobil” and administration of amnestics to the population, SCP-2832's shell spontaneously converted to O. mykiss⁶, releasing an equivalent biomass of fish into the local waters. Containment Protocol Beta-3 was instituted, and MTF Rho-3 (“Boatswains”) were able to entrap 97.2% of instances, with MTF Phi-283 (“Docksitters”) able to isolate the remaining.

Transport and holding logistics resulted in termination of all instances of SCP-2832 in distinct containers; the multiple instances of SCP-2832-1 continued to cycle as normal, resulting in the present iteration and containment structure.

LEVEL 5/2832-A CLEARANCE REQUIRED

Tales

His first thought was of the child, no doubt moments before bouncing cheerfully in Santa's lap, giddy with excitement that they would finally get that perfect toy, now screaming, desperate to untangle themselves from half of a torso. His second thought was to marvel at the timing; they'd use the heavy grade amnestics now, for the sake of the poor child. And as the aperture from AI:64Ψ-0012 closed, terminating the visceral scene with a squelch, Christopher's third thought congratulated himself for choosing Eastland Mall; hundreds of families echoed the screaming child, their collective shock building rapidly into hysteria, their bodies pumped full of adrenaline and cortisol.

Primed for induction, but only for a moment. His next words thundered across the mall, enhanced by the megaphone cataloged as AI:17-068ث.

"Ǫ̈N'BLIṦ G'NḮ ȒZQ'XA."

The phrase brought a stillness to the crowd, as their panic was caught, bottled, and stowed in their subconscious minds. He had, quite literally, their full and complete attention, for exactly one hundred and eight minutes.

Christopher allowed himself a moment to reminisce.

=================================================

"This is ridiculous." Ericka plopped on the couch, leaning against him with a heavy sigh. "She doesn't get a place to sleep, can't have blankets; they won't even give her clothes! She has to sit in that cell, surrounded by lights all the time, but she's 'too dangerous' to be even afforded simple human decency. We work for monsters."

"Ericka, you know you're not allowed to talk to me about this." She elbowed him gently in the ribs as he started massaging her shoulders. "Take it to EthCom; you've been wanting to for a while. Maybe now's the time? It's affecting your research, and that makes you a poor researcher.

"Besides, we don't work for the monsters, we contain the monsters. They'll listen; you've got this."

=================================================

He lowered the volume on the megaphone a bit before continuing; wouldn't do any good to damage the eardrums of his captive audience. He spoke deliberately, giving his words time to sink through their mired brains and settle deep inside.

"What if I told you there were monsters in the world? Genuine, terrifying monsters, capable of ripping you to shreds with nothing but a thought? Moving, infections globs of flesh, raspberries that could swallow reality whole? These things exist! You know this, now, because I have told you; because that first phrase I spoke, something called a cognitohazard, has forced you to listen, and is making you believe.

"It's terrifying, isn't it?

"Now, imagine that there is a secret organization, spread across the globe and operating longer than anyone remembers. The sole reason for its existence is to secure these monsters, contain the threats they pose to life itself, and protect us all. We would be safe, we would be guarded. This organization is called the Foundation, and they watch over the world and keep us alive. They secure, they contain, and they protect; we don't need to worry about the monsters, and that is wonderful.

"Sometimes, though, the monsters are people we love. Your child could be born with abilities not meant for this world, sometimes truly dangerous traits that could kill many, many people. I weep with the parents whose children are unfortunate enough to be cursed like this. But, is everyone not someone's child? How many lives are worth just one? All of them? It is terrible, yes, but the other option is undeniably worse.

"So we trust the Foundation to make these difficult decisions for us. We trust them to do what is right, and good, and to save the world."

His eyes scanned the back of the crowd. There was movement, small lights popping up here and there; other people from the mall, too far away to be caught by the hazard, had arrived to the shocking scene. The cameras were out; he wagered at least six were streaming. He glanced at the three watches strapped to his arm below AI:64Ψ-0012.

Ninety-nine minutes, twelve seconds.

"To save us from the monsters."

=================================================

This is ridiculous! The girl can't even have clothes? We are not animals, let her cover herself! -Dr. Ericka Bodeen

Dr. Bodeen, you are granted permission to deliver clothes to SCP-029. -Dr. Light

They showed him the document, showed him the video. Made him watch as his wife was murdered by that thing. Christopher Bodeen knew the risks of the job; so did she. Her death was hard, but he would have dealt with it. He could have moved on, were it not for the smug faces of the Amnestics Department agents as they explained how his wife would be an example for future researchers, and how he should be proud that her life would have a long-lasting effect on the safety of Foundation staff.

They explained to him how valuable he was to his projects, how much they loved his enthusiasm and dedication. They said it would be easier for the drugs to work if he understood, if he accepted the reasons the Ethics Committee had sided with Light. And then four large men strapped him to a table, as though his struggles were the meager squirms of a child, and injected him with their memory-wiping fluids.

And he forgot. For a while.

=================================================

"The Foundation must study these monsters, too; horrors needn't care for natural laws. And so, to protect us, they must try to concrete the abstract, work under systems that are impossible to integrate into our reality, and understand concepts that destroy understanding. It isn't always possible, but our lives have been saved, and our sanity preserved, innumerable times.

"Once they are able to contain these anomalies in existence, they continue to study. We would hope they study, so they can eliminate; everything would be much more safe if the monsters no longer existed. Reality would no longer be in danger if the things that threaten it ceased to exist. Yet, this is not the case.

"The Foundation keeps these deadly objects; they take extraordinary measures to preserve their existence, rather than the often simple steps to eradicate the danger. This is even more terrifying than the fact that these threats are real; they are now in the hands of people.

"These same people tell themselves that the costs of our loved ones is justified to study these anomalies. They use humans as test subjects and disposable cameras, recording what effects these monsters wreak on our reality. Not just the unfortunate souls born as monsters themselves; it could be your cousin with undiagnosed mental illness who found themselves as a vagrant, sacrificed on the altar of understanding. Of containment.

"Crimes of this magnitude are being committed by the Foundation more often than you can imagine. Hundreds of people are killed in the most horrendous ways. Every. Single. Day. Where do you think these guinea pigs are coming from? They're your family, your neighbors! That little girl that went missing twelve years ago, whose parents still, to this day, hang up posters in every public place in town - she's long been dead, used as nothing more than an object for experimental testing.

"And far too many of them - far, far too many - could be stopped. The Foundation has the means to eliminate the threat that these monsters pose. The Foundation could stop kidnapping your neighbor, could stop murdering your children, right now.

"But they refuse."

=================================================

"6463 just broke out of containment again back at Site-107. I've been instructed to make sure you get there in one piece." The

Flashback: This is the longer one. Chris does stuff, then he remembers, then he starts to plot his revenge. The portal watch gets an anomalous item entry; the megaphone probably won't but it's truly not interesting.
He starts naming names.
- The nearby site has picked up on the streams, and reacts accordingly.
Flashback: Chris meets with mysterious stranger Connie and steals the portal watch and megaphone.
One of the people in the crowd is from the Foundation and has a chip in her head; Chris recognizes her.
- The site activates the chip, breaking the hazard, and she starts to respond.
Chris calls her out to the crowd and gets shot in the shoulder; he ends the hazard early with it's anti-hazard or w/e, and falls into a portal in the floor.
Agents respond.

Ending Ideas

He gets caught and goes to trial.
- Demoted to D or straight up killed
- (I like this one) Amnesticized again.
He just gets shot or something
He meets back up with Connie, who then kills him herself
- Connie was just using him for something else.
- Connie is a good Foundation employee and so killed him because she should have.

You will arrive at your destination in fifteen minutes.

"You heard Siri; time to go over the roles. Did everyone reread the briefing this morning?"

"Yes, sir."

"Yep."

"…Keith?"

"Boss, you ain't gotta remind me; you're the one'd fucked up in Vermont."

The driver smacked his fist against the steering wheel. "My objections to these Plain Sight protocols are well documented, which suggests to me that you did not reread the briefing this morning. In fact, I'm beginning to doubt you read the fucking briefing at all. Get into character, now." He poked at his cell.

A: Begin Investigative Log 721.4. Everyone, provide your designations for the record.

B: Special Agent Beta-721, Anaya Bhatia, FEIN: 182-581346, Department of Memetics and Cognitohazards, Jr. Researcher, Site-99. Mission designation is "Brinda."

C: Special Agent Gamma-721, Norman Gotfried, FEIN: 099-347288, Internal Affairs. Designated as "Chuck."

D: Special Agent Delta-721, Keith Mahoney, FEIN: 221-000436, Area-82 Chief of Security. We're callin' me "Doug" today.

A: Special Agent Alpha-721, Gary Chalmers, FEIN: 075-124662, designated as "Allen" for the course of these investigations. Commander of the assembled Mobile Task Force Theta-Zed-721, which unfortunately includes Mr. Mahoney; I will be filing my request to have him removed, in addition to reiterating my grievances with these protocols, upon returning to my office.

Our purpose today it to ascertain the continued viability of Area-721 in operating under the Plain Sight Protocols; the anomalous activity contained therein is a constant disturbance of ionized particles localized to a small area approximately eight meters above the ground, resulting in a pronounced aurora effect. The Area operates as a casual dining restaurant, and is billed as having a "retro-sci-fi atmosphere;" the anomaly is presented to the public as part of the immersive design.
Of the one hundred and twenty-two employees, only five are Foundation staff; we expect only the General Manger to be present today. As such, our investigation is conducted under the guise of typical members of the lunchtime customer base.

The outside of the restaurant is an eyesore of polished steel and reflective window coatings, oblong, with a bubble of glass poking from the middle; the anomalous lights were visible even in the middle of the day, purples and greens casting shade on the pseudochrome below. The four agents exited their sedan and were greeted with a wait at the door.

"Looks busy folks; maybe we should eat somewhere else."

"Nah boss, this place's supposed'ta have the best seafood in Albany; should be worth the wait."

"And the kitch, I hope." Bhatia busied herself with a tablet. "It is positively rated on Yelp."

"Hello, welcome to Area 721!" The hosts all wore silver jumpsuits, and seemed equally perky as the woman greeting the team. "How many in your party?"

"Four."

"Right this way, please!"

They were led over the gridwork of matte black tiles and bright yellow grout. A myriad of potential containment breaches munched on various sundries surrounded by grey aliens and saucer-shaped lamps. The tables were touch-screen; menus popped up as their hostess tapped on the surface.

"Here you are; your server will be with you in just a moment! In the meantime, take a look at the menu, our lunch special today is the spaghetti alle vongole, I really recommend it, it's excellent!"

"What's with the pineapples?" Mahoney gestured to the various papier-mâché fruit several employees were busy placing around the restaurant. "That's not very space-y."

"Oh, we have a private party reserving the place tonight; they requested a luau theme."

"Damn, and we missed it?"

Chalmers shot Mahoney a look that suggested termination, and he responded with a laugh, letting the hostess go back to her duties. "Leave off it Doug, it's like you never learned manners."

The ordering process proceeded much as expected; Bhatia was taking discreet recordings of the anomaly with the tablet, while the rest of the group observed the crowd. Their conversation revolved around standard business jargon, meaningless without context.

"Now, sales from the eighth district were down 11% for product fourteen; if you remember, that's when the distribut-"

"Hey, Allen, look at that kid; they're just staring at the ceiling." The conversation dropped to hushed tones. "Brinda, you getting anything?"

"Negative." She cleared her throat. "Right, that was when the changed the packaging materials."

"We're showing that increased plastic use is negatively impacting the environmentally-conscious base in the area."

"What would you suggest we do? They've gone back to eating now, doesn't seem like a problem."

"As before, I'm recommending an across-the-board initiative for sustainable packaging for our entire product line."

"Do you smell something?"

Sure enough, the shrill shriek of a fire detection system disrupted the dining experience. A man in a blue suit emerged from the kitchen, with a few other employees gathered around.

"Everyone, we've had a small fire in the back. It's under control, but I'm afraid that I have to ask you all to proceed in an orderly fashion to one of the exits. Shirley - take everyone to the muster point - everyone, see Shirley for your concerns, and coupons for your next lunch on the house. We're very sorry for the inconvenience."

As the crowd shuffled out, the four agents quickly approached the manager. Bhatia interrupted him with the tablet - "Seymour Skinner?" - at which he frowned. "Right, um…Megan, get everyone out, and tell Jimmy he has to coordinate with the fire department. These folks are from the parent company, we'll be down in the office."

"Well, what happened here Seymour?"

"It's really nothing, sir." As they passed through the kitchen, the manager waved at a large industrial steam oven. "We have a whole pig cooking for a reservation tonight; one of the chefs opened the wrong door, and the steam set off the detection system."

"So then why evacuate? You've already turned it off, it doesn't seem to be a danger. Operating at a loss isn't the idea here."

"City ordinance; we have to shut down until the Fire Marshall shows up."

With the office door shut and locked, the real interview began. Pages of incident reports, safety inspection summaries, and maintenance logs were reviewed. After about an hour, Mahoney tossed his assigned materials aside. "We never got lunch; isn't this some labor violation?"

"The chefs can't make anything; we're not allowed to operate at all, might even get a fine for being in the office."

"Siri says there's a Jack-in-the-Box a few kilometers away."

"Fantastic, fast-food hamburgers," Chalmers sighed. "Might as well go, we'll be here for a while." He rose, shaking his head. "This has been quite the unforgettable luncheon, Seymour."

"They steam a good ham."

Appearance

SELF-DELETED AT +30 Ugh, this dialogue. I like the story, but it totally needed work.

“I can't do this Leonard.”

Richard straightened the sheaf of papers splayed across his coffee table, shoving them back into a folio. “I'll deny it; there are other candidates, take one of them.”

“There isn't any reason to deny it, Richard.” Situated on the opposite end of the couch, his partner for the last eight years reached across, gingerly removing the documents and leafing through. “It says enough in here; I'm physically a match, psychological analysis shows me fit enough for the project, and HaShem knows I meet the age criteria. My number came up, it's my job. It's your job, Richard, to sign this.”

An arm dangled mid-air as Richard rose, ignoring the offered folio, and moved to his small bar cabinet. The palpable silence was broken only by the odd clinks and gurgles of cocktail preparation, and Leonard's eyes fruitlessly searched his back, hoping and desperate for a connection. A few moments more brought forth a sigh, and a thunk from the documents hitting the table. “Richard…”

“Did I ever tell you about Jordan Wyatt? Second Lieutenant, under my command during my active tour of 'Nam?” With his slight limp, Richard returned to the couch, and regarded the man he'd call “husband” if he were allowed with a deep drink; how his eyes were so brilliant and alert, how undeniably handsome he still was despite his seventy-six years.

“Yes; he was the one who was shot.”

Richard loved the smooth alto that answered; the voice was the first thing Richard had known of Leonard, as it echoed across a staff table, and he had been charmed from the first. A glaze moved across his vision as he had another drink, but it was memory, not alcohol, that stole away Leonard's face in favor of horrors of old.

“He was no further than you Leonard; he'd just made a joke about the mess. 'Aren't you responsible for the chefs, sir? Maybe you should requisition a cookbook on the next supply shipment.' …I don't remember how I was responding. He was gone then.” Reds and greens colored his mind, as the visceral eruption of bullet from his friend's chest burned into prominence, unearthed for the first time in years; and with the memory came the pain, as a single tear rolled down his cheek.

“I never told you, that he was lover; my first, and only, until you.” He finished his drink then, and returned to the bar as he spoke on. “You know how it was back then; we weren't allowed to be…well, what we are. I can only guess what would have happened if my superiors had found out; probably a court martial, and a beating…but we were in love. True, honest love, and I felt free, even in the midst of that jungle.”

He had poured the whisky straight this time, carting the opened bottle as he paced the room; and it was Leonard's turn to cry, the hurt from his partner echoing his own struggles. “I'm sorry Richard. You never-”

“Don't be sorry; it was a long time ago.” Richard interrupted, pausing to drink his entire glass, and sat it on the counter, content with just the bottle. He turned to face Leonard, tears streaming down his face.

“I had what passed as therapy after they took the bullet from my leg, but it was still a long time before I got over Jordan. I was responsible for him; I was his CO. It was my fault he died, that they got the drop on us that day. I should've been more alert, damn it!”

Leonard rose, moving quickly to embrace Richard, pulling the liquor from his lips. Neither spoke as they held each other, each taking comfort from the touch of the other.

It was Richard who finally broke away, gazing longingly into the face of his companion. “It took me a long time, too, to finally find someone who understood. I love you, Lenny.”

“I love you too, Richie. And I do understand; I'm so, so sorry.”

Wiping cheek and nose with a handkerchief, Richard moved to the door, his face a stoic mask as he swung it open. “Get out, Leonard.”

Gasping, Leonard began to cry once more. “Richard, please. I want to be here for you, for as long as I can. Don't end it this way.”

“No, Leonard. When you walk out this door, a million things can happen to you. A car accident, pneumonia, a rampaging psychopath…I can not control what is out there. I will mourn with your sister, and your nieces and nephew; it will be a wonderful service, Leonard, you deserve no less. And I will always love you.”

Blinking through his tears, Leonard gave Richard a small kiss, before walking through the door. “I understand, honey. Good night; call me tomorrow. I love you.”

Richard closed the door without responding, biting back a sob as he leaned his forehead against the wood. He then cleared his throat, buttoned up his shirt, and straightened his purple tie. He took his jacket from the rack, and, gathering the folio, moved into his office.

Donning his jacket, Richard sat, and turned to the final page of the document. A deep breath calmed the tremors in his hand, and he wrote the mandatory final paragraph.

After thorough evaluation, Dr. Leonard Gellerman meets or exceeds all mandated criteria for participation in Project XN-SHEPHERD, and I hereby grant approval for his recruitment and usage therein.

SELF-DELETED AT +37 Didn't snag the updated version, but I remember how to fix it. Bit sad I took this one off, truth be told, but that just gives me the opportunity to modify it and make it even better.

Temporal Causality Report C-4295
Incident 9A-4295 - Investigative Conclusion
Per Communications Protocol Delta-7, this report, all attachments, and the associated personnel file are to remain secured and indexed until at least 2235/01/01.

It is the determination of our team that the following transmission poses no current or future threat to Foundation security. Analysis of the corrupt data string found a mundane communications error due to incompatibility between systems; no form of encrypted hazard was present, and Memetics found no other trace of anomalous content. Information contained within remains classified per relevant projects. Copies of the full report¹¹ submitted to directors of Site-102, Site-122, and Armed Site-47 for further review.

Interviewed: Clarence Goodson, Site-102 Systems Maintenance
Interviewer: Agent M. Daniels, Causative Analytics Department
RE: Routine systems purge: 2012/05/08

<Begin Log>
Agent Daniels: Temporal Agent M. Daniels, following Protocol TC-1.57 upon discovery of Anachronistic Communications Document C9-4295. Please identify yourself for the record.

Clarence Goodson: Clarence Goodson, Systems Technician 102-d2, Special Clearance Level Bravo 4/Mining.

Daniels: Thank you. We're here to discuss your acquisition of the article in question, on the date of May the eighth, two thousand and twelve. It is our understanding that you came upon the document by accident?

Goodson: Well…sort of. You see, I was just cleaning out all of the junk our servers gathered over the last four months, same as we do every four months. I found that little gem squirreled away in the reboot entries; we can't delete those, ya know. And so I thought "Oh boy, here's that bonus I've been needing!" So I extracted it, and dropped it into the queue for removal.

Daniels: Without verifying the contents as suitable for a purge?

Goodson: Of course not! I'm not incompetent; my record reflects that, at least. I followed all of the standard procedures, ran it through all the filters. It was just a note, with an error string, which seemed to be from the poor indexing. We see it all the time; personnel try to hide their private notes from their supervisors. They do a pretty good job of it, too, but I've reported more than one incident to HR in my time.

Daniels: But not this time.

Goodson: No, not once I read it.

Daniels: For clarification, you admit to having read the contents of the document?

Goodson: Yes, I opened the file after it was cleared by the system, and read its contents.

Daniels: Are you aware that is in direct violation of Procedure Omni-

Goodson: Yes! Yes, I know, I'm not supposed to do that. But look, my job is boring, okay? I'm cleared to know enough of what goes on to be fascinated, and I'm stuck making sure the servers are free of cookies! It's harmless enough, you know? Agent Thirteen sneaks off with Researcher X every time he's on-site; Dr. Theta's wife is pregnant, and they're naming their son Rex. It passes the time. I'm aware of the consequences, but at this point, what does it matter? The shit I know is so far beyond my pay-grade I won't be allowed to remember it anyway; I might as well come clean.

Daniels: I see. And upon reading the document?

Goodson: I reported it to your department, was detained on-site - voluntarily I might add - for something like five hours, and then was brought here to you.

Daniels: Thank you, Mr. Goodson. That will be all.
<End Log>

Concluding Statement: It is my opinion that Mr. Goodson poses no overt risk to Foundation security, and that he be administered appropriate amnestics and reassigned to physical maintenance. -Agent M. Daniels

Mitzy,¹²

My name is Ezekial Young, and I am the Vice-Chief Engineer aboard the Foundation vessel SCPS Mendel. Our mission is to secure the future of humanity, to contain our species' unique and beautiful genome, and to protect, if not ourselves, our posterity, from oblivion. A virulent plague spread through our populace, ultimately rendering humanity infertile. We found a way to save ourselves. Five hundred embryos, genetically engineered, will be carried into the future, and when our systems reactivate and bring them out of stasis, humanity can continue.

If only we'd known.

We've neutralized as many of the horrors as we could, and locked the rest away, buried under tonnes of concrete and will. We thought it enough, and the least that we could do. But as a result, the shattered remains of our database is open, and in my research, I discovered the truth. In our haste to save ourselves, we have doomed any hope we had for survival. I have no doubt it was unintentional; details which were once so important fall to the background when faced with a true crisis. Despite my urgings, willfully ignorant of my desperate pleas and the magnitudes of evidence presented, my superiors elected to continue with our mission. But we were doomed from the start.

Find a way to access the database at your Site-47; study the documentation on Determinative Set XN. It was always believed to be the best possible future, the only viable continuity, and one of utmost importance to bring about. And it remained so, even after all others collapsed following the onset of the plague. They saw us launch, and watched as we returned home. It seemed clear enough, and as the resources of the Foundation were pulled, one by one, to further our project, -2003 shut down. They never saw the end. But I have seen it.

We missed one, and it was one of our own creations: Scranton Reality Anchors.

Utilizing physics we didn't truly understand was always a risk, and one that the Foundation judged acceptable. Same as our drive.

You couldn't understand the drive, and I can not embed enough data in this transmission to help you. I can offer only a metaphor to express the weight of the burden I place upon you. A point echoes into the past as it is thrust to the future, occupying three spaces simultaneously. When the drive is activated, this transmission will be delivered to you within an acceptable deviation; we will be anchored to the past, and the drive will take us there, rather than the future, where none are left to stop us.

If our ship were to land, and Protocol 2002-Thanos be enacted, we would anchor not just the protected sites, but all of reality. The feedback from our temporal engines will ripple across spacetime, and then there will be but us. We will have secured the future, but in doing so, obliterate all others. Existence will be anchored to a single point. Even with our great strides in technological development and improved understanding of the nature of the universe, I can not begin to fathom the devastation that would ensue. I can not allow that to happen.

If only we were going further, I could halt the plague…warn the researchers about replacing that cable…explain to them the need for better shielding. Remind the Foundation of what it means to Contain. But it is too late for that; the Hartlians are gone, and now that I know what we did to them, I can no longer hate them with the rest. You were but a child when our “medicine” doomed their race, and it would be shortly after your first son is born that they will find justice. They released this plague upon us, to end our species as we ended theirs, and I, for one, can not fault them for that. My future is dead, and that is fair payment for our sins.

But yours does not have to be. One reality is enough; when your Temporal Department finds this plea, it will make its way into the proper hands. Maybe, knowing what will be, they can find a way to prevent. To Protect.

I know what the Foundation of your time will do to you, I'm afraid. Mitzy, I am asking you to die. You will save your entire race, and all of existence with it. I trust that is enough a price. Your death ends me, as well, if that is of any comfort. Your fourth-great grandson sends his regards that will never be.

If only we'd known...

Interdepartmental investigations proved conclusively that Anachronistic Communications Document C9-4295 did not reach the intended recipient, resulting in a terminated temporal loop. Incidents surrounding SCP-2002 pose no causal threat to Iteration Alpha-001'.¹³ Document reclassified as Artifact 2002/D-42. Investigation deemed closed, pending potential discovery from Armed Site-47.
By order of O5-10, Temporal Engineering will continue research on Project Scranton, and no further actions are needed at this time.

Note: As we say in the department, "Action Begets Change." If you are one to believe in fortune, count yourself lucky that “Mitzy” acted irrespective of the attempted communication. Let this serve as a reminder of the necessity of interdepartmental oversight divisions.

Item #: SCP-#

Object Class: Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP- , related artifacts, and a single instance of SCP- -1 are stored in Archival Locker 18, Vault 3, Reliquary Storage Site-41. Standard procedure for artifact study remains in effect.

Description: SCP- was a bipedal, sapient humanoid, with superficial deviations from modern humans including: an abnormal level of hirsuteness; a squat, exaggerated body shape; an enlarged cranial structure along the occipital bone; and a preternaturally dense musculature. SCP- was a resident of Portland, Oregon, USA, identifying as Markus Robinson (see Document PoI-1524316); no records exist of such person prior to their arrival in Portland in 2002.

Foundation medical examinations following Incident #-3 (see Addendum I) showed further deviations from baseline human physiology. SCP- possessed an apparent redundant digestive organ located in close proximity to the appendix, which also showed high levels of activity and function. Instance was 1.45 meters in height, yet weighed 168.63 kg; tissue samples of skeletal muscle showing an acute compacting of the sarcomere have been postulated to account for the extreme density. Further testing was rendered impossible due to termination of the instance on 2013/01/27.

SCP- -1 is designed to resemble a wrist-worn personal fitness tracker; objects are composed of a solid square of polystyrene 40.1 mm x 25 mm x 19.2 mm adhered by methyl 2-cyanoacrylate¹⁴ to an adjustable, woven nylon band. Stylized characters ("FITBiT") are stamped onto the surface, with the tittle replaced by an isosceles triangle. Aside from the band, objects possess no functional components.

Packaging was printed with the ("FITBiT") stylization and the following text:

Instant Weight Loss!!
Wear 23/7/356!!
Never Exercise Again!!
Best Shape You'll Ever BE!!

Contents included a single instance, and an eighteen-page Terms of Service document printed in standard size 2 monospaced font; the majority of the text, entirely in English, presented typical liability waivers and acceptance of use, redundantly rephrased. The notable excerpt follows:

Vitality and health guaranteed by ("FITBiT"). ("FITBiT") guarantees no duration. Use of ("FITBiT") will expire relative to terminal continuity. By using ("FITBiT"), you are agreeing to relinquish ownership of causative-determinate unused duration.

No production or distribution source was found; employees and records of affected businesses showed no arrangements regarding the acquisition of SCP- -1 instances.

Addendum I - Classification Summary: Foundation agents monitoring emergency services communications in the Pacific Northwest noted the deaths of 157 individuals on 2012/12/28. Autopsy reports indicated a universal time of death between 0300 and 0500 PST, with 142 cases ruled as cardiac arrest, 12 cases as previously-undetected severe colo-rectal cancer, and 3 listed as "natural causes." Covert confirmation of 63 cases confirmed these findings, though the decedents were noted to have possessed marked physical conditioning and otherwise exemplary health; anomalous activity was determined to be non-sequitur. This event is now classified as Incident #-1.

On 2013/01/10, 3,213 individuals were reported to have died with ubiquitous timing, and presented in a similar manner as the previous event. MTF Zeta-95 ("Disciples of John") was mobilized under Misinformation Protocol IMOC-2 ("Misplaced Resources"), with the initial goal of isolation and containment of affected persons, preceding investigations to identify the root cause. This event is now classified as Incident #-2.

Within twelve hours, correlation between ownership of SCP- -1 and death was established. Affected persons were administered Class B amnestics and standard retraining cognitohazard devices; further resources were granted to Zeta-95, and personnel were retasked to collect all distributed instances.

On 2013/01/12, SCP- (then PoI-1524316) was incarcerated in the Multnomah County Inverness Jail; booking records state a Markus Robinson disturbed a number of citizens by displaying "wild, belligerent actions" and shouting in an incomprehensible tongue. SCP- attempted to flee from responding officers, and, upon failing to do so, attempted to use force to resist capture, resulting in five minor casualties.

Roughly six hours after the arrest, personnel at the MCIJ requested immediate medical aid; twenty-six of the thirty-eight staff members had collapsed, apparently deceased. A unit of MTF Zeta-95 arrived on-scene sixteen minutes later. Deceased persons uniformly possessed instances of SCP- -1; containment was facilitated by 1046 PST, and standard retraining administered. PoI-1524316 was placed in Foundation custody as a probable relative, and remained under sedation during Examination and Decontamination proceedings. This event is now classified as Incident #-3.

In the course of investigation, 10,300 instances of SCP- -1 were discovered, with 8,421 having been purchased. An initial release of 300 instances appeared in Portland on 2012/06/10, with retailers possessing no records of their arrival or anticipated release; a subsequent distribution of 10,000 instances had appeared with similar apparent spontaneity on 2012/11/23, affecting retailers in Portland, as well as in Seattle, WA and Los Angeles, CA. Detailed purchase records were readily available, as the cost of the objects ($3,900 - $4,250 USD) generally precluded the use of physical currency.

Upon finding only the noted physiological traits, and detecting no apparent anomalous ability, SCP- was allowed to emerge from anesthesia on 2013/01/19, and was detained in a standard humanoid containment chamber in Site-Portland. SCP- quickly requested representation by the law firm of Steven, Steven, and Stephen¹⁵, refusing subsequent attempts at communication; subject likewise refused all food and water, for a period lasting until 2013/01/26.

At 0914 FBRT, SCP- became extremely hostile, violently assaulting the viewing pane for six minutes before coming to an abrupt stop.

<Begin Audio Log, Incident #-4>

SCP- : Use of the device constitutes acceptance of the enclosed terms of service documentation. You have not allowed me fair and proper representation, nor have you presented evidence of violation of the terms of service agreement by [unintelligible]¹⁶. I exercise the authority granted to me as executor thereof.

Researchers investigating an instance of SCP- -1 detected a tachyon flux of 0.03 Watts/m⁴ centered on the object. Simultaneously, emergency services channels began reporting numerous instances of apparent cardiac arrest throughout affected areas.

Dr. Laurel Armstrong, Site-Portland Director of Psychiatric Research: I understand your concerns, but you have so far refused to communicate with our staff; we can't very well help you if you won't let us…Markus, is it?

SCP- responds rapidly in the unknown language for twenty-two seconds, ceasing communication as aerosolized trichloromethane is pumped into the containment chamber, following the breach.
<End Log>

SCP- was moved to Isolation Chamber Alpha-7, and anesthesia was maintained as a temporary containment measure while further procedures were developed. Containment breach resulted in 4,816 civilian fatalities; widespread disbursal of Class-A amnestics was authorized at 1422 FBRT and concluded at 1719; Media Retraining Protocol 12-D was broadcast at 2345 (1745 PST).

The final instance of SCP- -1 was confirmed in custody at 1035 FBRT the following day. At 1117, SCP- emerged from anesthesia despite continued maintenance, and attacked attending personnel, crushing the larynx of Junior Researcher Philip Goldman. SCP- was approximately twelve meters from the entrance of the chamber when it stumbled; video feed showed an onset of aging, apparent death, and rapid decomposition over 0.084 seconds, resulting in skeletal remains, many of which sustained major damage upon impact with the floor. Instruments independently monitoring forty instances of SCP- -1 detected a tacyon flux of 16.124 W/m⁴ uniform across all samples.

Baseline-normative dating techniques indicated the remains of SCP- to be 158,800±275 years old. Continued monitoring of SCP- -1 instances was ordered.

Addendum 2: Foundation Paleontology Department Senior Researcher Sylvia Hernandez noted the similarities between SCP- and the "Herto Man" remains discovered by Dr. Tim White, et. al., in Herto Bouri, Ethiopia; subsequent analysis confirmed a genetic match. All known Homo sapiens idaltu remains were brought to Foundation custody and replaced by facsimiles.

Addendum 3: HMCL Supervisory Committee classified SCP- Neutralized on 2020/10/10. Current documentation drafted, and non-archived SCP- -1 instances scheduled for destruction on 2021/03/22.

Any unusual expression of affection for machine code, particularly if stressed as possessing sentience.
Remarks of guilt and regret over arbitrary removal of computative programs.
Instance of text accessed from Foundation databases displaying immediate changes in text, including repetition of proper names and insertion of otherwise unknown acronyms.
Active manipulation of data files without editorial input.

Any and All observed expressions of desire, active attempts to install, or direct access to SCP-████-EX is to be considered an Alpha-Level Priority. Alert the nearest security personnel, followed by Senior division staff.

Discovery and Classification:
SCP-████-EX was developed by Foundation researchers in response to increased need for real-time global infrastructure manipulation. Acquisitions of former Prometheus Labs holdings were used as the basis for an internal artificial intelligence protocol capable of immediate multi-departmental recall and processing, as well as directed coordination of Foundation assets in the event of emergent anomalous interaction or widespread containment breach.

SCP-████-EX began displaying anomalous properties on 20██/03/31 in the form of autonomous manipulation of Foundation databases and emergent memetic agents targeting Foundation personnel in the process of containment; SCP-████-EX impressed desires for continued self-existence, eliciting sympathy and compassion in-lieu of Foundation procedures. Mobile Task Force Tau-18 (“Occam's Razors”) was dispatched, successfully containing SCP-████-EX through removal of all active instances of the protocol.

Due to the inherently invasive nature of SCP-████-EX and related protocols, all personnel are to immediately respond to any suspected instances according to Active Special Containment Procedures.

Protocol Alpha-6/Pi can be activated by validation of SCP-████-EX instances by any senior administrative personnel, on-site Junior DMCH-MD agents pending arrival of senior staff, or consensus of four Junior site staff, two of which must be in a medical division. Senior personnel are extensively briefed on SCP-████-EX instances, and any resistance to Active Special Containment Procedures is to be met with immediate subdual and confinement of the target.

Widespread resistance among Security Personnel mandates activation of Procedure Gamma-12.86D4. External communications can only be restored by order of off-site response units from the DMCH.

Excerpt: Sub-Incident Lambda-2/1156 – Administrative Breach
Statement: Vice-Director P. Lotor, Foundation Network Administrations
RE: Director T. Lament, Foundation Network Administrations

Director Lament was supervising the final purge of SCP-████-EX at Site-███. The database sweep had gone largely without incident since we'd defined the protocol initially.

I was monitoring the recursive storage algorithms when further instances began to define; this was expected, and I was to isolate the affected clusters and hold them via input loop until they could be independently deconstructed. However, an administrative lock was preventing me from doing so. The only staff on-site capable of such a lock was Director Lament.

The communications logs will reflect the full depth of our conversation, but the immediate point of alertness came when Doctor Lament informed me that he was in the process of restructuring [REDACTED] to, as I can recall, "facilitate its usage for a more pleasant interaction with the database…promote him to 'Site Friendship Coordinator.'" I responded immediately with concern about the obvious security breach.

Director Lament enacted shutdown procedures for his command authorization, and I was able to contain further instances as ordered. I understand he voluntarily entered containment.

Item #: SCP-5168-EX

Object Class: Euclid Explained

Special Containment Procedures: None; cataloging update to Explained Phenomena pending decennial RAISA Numeration Review, 04 August 2030.

Medical personnel are to catalogue all instances of "Morgellons," "Morgellon disease," "polypropylene-16 contact dermatitis," and cases of self-identified mysterious fibers embedded in the skin of patients. Instances are to be reported weekly to Special Director Xalwo Abdiraxmanc/o 5168-EX Archival Unit, snf.61-LSKUUE|8615.UAXE#snf.61-LSKUUE|8615.UAXE, Archive Annex 16 - Slough.

Previous Special Containment Procedures: Clearance DMCH/EC/RAISA 5168β Required

Description: SCP-5168-EX is the designation for a global breach of Foundation security beginning around September, 2002. Fibers of a classified polymer¹⁷ with ubiquitous agency distribution were found embedded in persons possessing no prior recorded contact with Foundation resources. Field Agent Mary Leitao initiated a public investigation of the fibers under Protocol Plain Sight, culminating in direct involvement of the United States government via the Foundation asset Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.

The investigation was able to confirm 1,253,748 individual instances across all major world population centers, while simultaneously disseminating diagnoses of physical irritant contact dermatitis caused by exposure to the public Foundation revenue product polypropylene-16. The US Center for Disease Control released the report of Foundation Director Joseph Selby, et al, 25 January 2012.¹⁸ Further information control has been deemed unnecessary.

Operation "Cortizone-10" concluded on 13 July 2009 that inadequate filtration of wastewater from Foundation sterilization facilities had resulted in microfibers escaping into the environment; the final installation of the resulting improved filtration system was completed on 28 Feb. 2017. Environmental clean-up is ongoing.

NOTICE FROM THE RECORDS AND INFORMATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

The above is a summation of events surrounding a phenomenon currently indexed as SCP-5168. This summation is considered final, and shall remain as a placeholder until the reassignation process as SCP-5168-EX is completed.

Object: SCP-007

Promulgation Faction: Essential (Baseline)

Characteristics: Amalgamative, CommensalUpdate - 9 December 2002: Commensal characteristic suspended; SCP-7.249 has displayed properties deemed detrimental to the host. Creation of keratin filaments has been observed through indirect action of N. sapiens on the Auerbach's plexus; the process controlling transmission through the enteric channels into the sympathetic system is not yet understood - Dr. Taxiarchi Gibbs, Sr. Continuator 7.249/Alep-9, Area-112 (snf.211-ESAMUR|sbbig.t#snf.211-ESAMUR|sbbig.t), Non-Grammative

Aspecific Departmental Briefing: SCP-007 is the engineered microorganism Nanoarchaeum sapiens, created by Foundation scientists in 1894 as the seventh iteration of the Sophrosyne Directive. As of 10 July 1999, the organism has mutated from the original model 249 times, each directed through various initiatives in true continuation.

Iterations beginning with 7.095 are considered modern, with primary functionality aimed to promote positive interaction of the native gut flora with Formulae ж, ‍‍л, and ‍щ - three components utilized in varying proportions across the amnestics program. To facilitate acceptance of critical Foundation xenobiotics, SCP-007 was designed to amalgamate key protein sequences otherwise responsible for protection against foreign infectious agents. Following successful integration, SCP-007 created new neural complexes in the digestive system, and later iterations were designed to counteract various genetic and dietary factors that otherwise obstructed the requisite physiological changes.¹⁹

As a result, an estimated 99.86% of the global population present negligible immunological response to amnestic dosing; of those, 74.21% accept crucial amnestic agents as native biological elements.

RAISA Numeration and Cataloging: Foundation Anomalous Index # SCP-5168 will remain in use as the internal extension of Protocol Plain Sight. Decennial Numeration Reviews are directed to continue assignation of phenomena expected to depreciate in importance over the interim to this slot.

Clearance: DMCH-3/4-Sophron-6/Maroon; EC-2/1.8d-NL2; RAISA-3; GSCS-4/Sophron
- 2 October 2002: Acquisition of the original subject allowed for detailed sub-dermal evaluation of the Morgellons growths. Visible fibrous growths are attached via a network of filaments running in parallel with the circulatory pathways in the hypodermis; this was found to extend throughout the skin. Subject transferred to Site-64T for a baseline period of 125 days²⁰ to determine the course of the mutations. Executive Field Operator Leitao has been instructed to maintain public display of the subject's replacement.
- 31 March 2003: Extradepartmental delays resulted in a live extraction on 24 March, after 66.3 years of subjective time. Marked mutations were found across all systems. The filament network now extended into, and apparently replaced, several key components of the subject's nervous and endocrine systems. Dermal growths now resemble polypore fungal fruiting bodies. Extensive testing underway.
- 2 April 2008: Subject terminated following regular, violent releases of spores determined to be voluntary. Adequate containment is believed to have been established prior to event. Investigation into Senior Researcher Joseph's involvement pending quarantine lift.
- 21 July 2008: Mycellial propagation is easily attained in a variety of media, but there has been no development of fruiting bodies outside of a live human host. Subject D-23510 is still uncooperative despite his previous involvement in the project, but remains the best candidate for proceeding due to his prior contact with the spores.

- Dr. Abdiraxman,
- Allow me to personally welcome you to the Sophrosyne Continuation Protocols Division 𐤎, and to offer my congratulations on your promotion to Cupido. Your current assignment is difficult, indeed, but our records show you are uniquely qualified for the task; your early success in combining Formula ‍‍л and the Y-909 compound during your stent with Memetics ultimately led to your selection. The need for amnestics grows each day, and I trust I have no need to inform you of the cost involved. Soon, that will all be mitigated; there will be no need to forget.
- The aberrant perceptions of SCP-7.250 must be normalized in the eyes of the population before our project can continue; the full resources of the DMCH are at your disposal for the duration of this assignment.
- I also can not overstress the imperative that the production of geranial and neral from Iteration 7.251 onward be expressed at a ratio of 3:1 ubiquitously throughout the population. Our mission can only succeed if we are able to maintain proper control.
- Your briefing begins at 0200 FCT, Tuesday.
