Item #: SCP-5213
Object Class: Euclid Safe
Research Head: Dr W. Deck
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation have bought the land the anomaly is sited on and placed it in private ownership before closing it off to the public. Security have set up a small living quarters nearby to intercept any civilians. 1 unit of MTF Theta-90 are to be stationed in the hut for retrieval of civilians/Foundation assets.
Description: SCP-5213-1 is a hedge maze in ████████, ██, USA. The maze contains major topographical and dimensional anomalies such as shifting walls, dimensional shifts, time dilation and [REDACTED]. SCP-5213's effects only manifest once nobody outside SCP-5213-1 is watching items/personnel inside SCP-5213-1 and nobody inside SCP-5213-1 is viewing the exit. Subjects are generally unrecoverable past this point.
SCP-5213-2 is a memetic field surrounding the primary object. This field activates on viewing SCP-5213-1 whether directly or remotely. The effects of SCP-5213-2 cause anyone affected to believe the maze contains SCP-5213-3. SCP-5213-3 is a key that is believed by subjects affected by SCP-5213-2 to be within SCP-5213-1. Effects are not strong and can be disobeyed with willpower, but non-briefed subjects who do not know of the anomalous effects are usually affected more. Subjects believe different things, but generally focusing around themes such as:
-The key grants infinite intelligence.
-The key grants eternal life.
-The key grants god-like status/powers.
It is currently unknown if the key exists.
Test Log:
| Background | Discovery | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Class-D entered SCP-5213-1 with radio. | As soon as Class-D left the field of view of the personnel conducting the test, Class-D reported they couldn't find the exit. Class-D marked as presumed terminated. | This confirmed the anomalous effects. |
| Class-D (D1) with rope to mark path entered the anomaly. Subject was instructed to look for Class-D from previous test (D2). | D1 found D2's unconscious body and brought them back to the entrance point. | "So recovery of objects isn't impossible, just hard." -Dr W. Deck |
| Class-D was shown a picture of SCP-5213-1 in a remote location. Said Class-D had no knowledge of the location of the anomaly. | When questioned, Class-D said that it contained "The key to the universe" and that they knew the key was in the maze, but not where the maze was. | "The memetic hazard seems to implant knowledge of the key, but not of the location. At least we don't have to worry about civilians siegeing the containment area." -Dr W. Deck "But it still means there is a risk of anomalous effects circulating in the form of pictures or videos." -Security Captain Greene |
| A leaf was removed from SCP-5213-1, and shown to a Class-D. | When questioned, Class-D did not mention a key, or any other anomalous effects. | "This shows there is a very low chance of any memetic contamination. I'll ask for it to be reclassified as Safe." - Dr W. Deck |
