Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard anomalous item containment unit on site-XX with a filing cabinet adjacent to its unit. Testing of SCP-XXXX may be performed at digression of site staff, researchers checking the item out of containment merely required to fill out a check out sheet and file any test results in the provided file cabinet.
SCP-XXXX-1 is to be neutralized at the earliest possibility, until such time being locked within its containment unit with a biometric scanner keyed to the site director. All testing involving SCP-XXXX-1 is suspended indefinitely, unless approved by both the lead researcher and the site-xx director, and must be for the sole purpose of either:
A: Discovering a means of destroying SCP-XXXX-1
B: Discovering a means of neutralizing the effects of SCP-XXXX-2
Failure to comply, or any attempt to replicate XXXX-1, will be met with disciplinary measures including demotion up to termination.
Those infected by SCP-XXXX-2 are to be monitored until either the infection has neutralized itself, or until termination is required. Stage One subjects are to be monitored and catalogued, and an agent is to attempt contact with the subject through civilian means such as forums, chat rooms, or online games. Agent is not to view any content sent to them by subject, but must appear simply disinterested, and steer the conversation towards Foundation approved media or fan-bases, as listed in article-XXXX-1. Article will be updated regularly to maintain viability.
Once a subject has proceeded to stage two, or a stage two subject has been discovered, Immediate application of Class B amnesties is required. Any discovered media depicting or referencing SCP-XXXX-3 or XXXX-3 is to be destroyed and replaced with media depicting foundation approved media.
In the event of a Stage 3 infection being discovered, MTF Iota-7 “Troll feeders” are to move in and terminate all individuals within a stage 3 infection zone. All media created by these subjects are to be destroyed, even if depicting foundation approved media. Casualties are to be explained as either having occurred due to a cult committing suicide, viral infection, or terrorist attack. Appropriate measures to add legitimacy to these cover stories are to be decided by the lead researcher of SCP-XXXX and reviewed by the ethics committee.
After stage 3 subjects have been neutralized, surrounding settlements (Villages, towns, cities, etc) are to be thoroughly investigates and purged of all possible XXXX-2 infection vectors.
Foundation automated programs are to continuously monitor the internet for XXXX-2 media, focusing on fandom focused sites, art blogs, writing sites, or social media platforms commonly used by individuals between the ages of 12-24. Any media discovered is to be destroyed, replaced with samples of Foundation approved media, and the creators of the infection vector being marked as a possible infected individual.
Efforts to discover and destroy all copies of SCP-XXXX-1 and those who are distributing it are an Alpha priority. Joint operations with the GOC (Global Occult Coalition) are under review and pending approval.
Description: —SCP-XXXX is a disk measuring 120 mm (4.75 inch) in diameter and 1.2 mm (0.05 inch) thick, with a circular section measuring 15mm (0.59 inch) in diameter cut out. It is made of a glossy material, and though able to bend slightly, is incapable of breaking. Object was discovered within an Egyptian tomb on 08/17/1895 by an archeologist from the British Archeological Association during a private expedition. Foundation agents procured the object in 1918 when it was determined the material of the disc showed anomalous durability after it had survived an artillery strike from German forces. —
The object has shown the ability to survive extreme temperatures, contact with acids, gun fire, and explosive ordinance. Curiously, when struck with enough blunt force, the disc will release a sound reported to be that of a young woman humming. Personnel report feeling soothed by the humming, but note that the effort necessary to generate the sound outweighs the benefit it provides.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) of unknown origin, and functions like any other disc of its format. When played by any standard DVD player, a period of ten minutes of static will play, after which a main menu depicting SCP-XXXX-3, a female character with blue hair, orange eyes, and grey skin wearing what appears to be a jump suit designed to look futuristic leaning on a title card reading "- vs. The world!".
It contains 4 options:
1: "Select Episode" Leads to a list of Thirteen, twenty-one minute episodes.
2: "Special features" leads to another menu that allows the user to select "- sing-a-long", "The making of…", "Fanart gallery", and "Thank you letter". All options, except the "Thank you letter" option, leads to varying lengths of static for anywhere between 20 minutes to 6 hours. When the "Thank you letter" option is selected, a list of names of over 20,000 names scrolls over the screen, with message at the end reading "Thank you for your support, we couldn't have made this without all of your help". Thus far, no name on the list has matched any person, living or dead, in any accessible record.
3. "Settings" leads to a menu that allows the user to select subtitles, audio language, and the option the play the episodes on loop. Languages included in both audio and subtitle selection are "English, german, East Korean, Sarkic, Daevite…" and 12 further selections with unreadable text and one shown as a picture of five stars.
4: "Select Episode Already!" Leads to the same list as number one, though the animated character on the main menu changes to an impatient expression.
Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: In the event of contact with a uncontained instance of SCP-XXXX, foundation personnel are to immediatly make contact with the Site 89 director, and inform them of the event. Afterwards, they are to maintain a 100 foot minimal distance from the instance until a retrieval team arrives, securing the area to prevent loss of the instance. This retrieval team must consist of only post Laius event survivors. In the event a Laius event begins due to contact being made with the instance, the effected individual is to redesignated as SCP-XXXX-1, and moved to a secure location far from Foundation and civilian assets
Instances are to be transferred to Site 89-B by either unmanned aerial drone that is to maintain an elevation of at least three hundred feet, or by the retrieval team themselves. Transportation routes are to be kept free of civilian traffic during transfer using standard cover stories, with lethal force authorized if GoI personnel are confirmed to be present.
Instances are to be deposited into the SCP-XXXX containment chamber on Site 89-B. where they are to remain unless approved for testing. Site 89-B is to have zero non-Laius event survivor staff within one hundred feet of the containment chamber, and is to be maintained by an onsite AI with access to unarmed drones and is to remain in direct contact with site 89's Site director at all times. This is to avoid a Laius event from taking place outside foundation control.
If a Laius event is initiated, for whatever reason, efforts are to be made to move the subject, here after referred to as SCP-XXXX-1, as far away from foundation and civilian assets as possible. After the event has finished, the SCP-XXXX instance is to be moved to Site 89-A for testing, interview, containment, or incineration as decided by research staff. Post Laius event instances are to be contained in a standard small anomalous creature containment chamber, with a maximum population of 20. SCP-XXXX-1 subjects are to be monitored for no less than two years afterwards, after which the lead researcher or site director may decide to cease observation until such time as deemed necessary, or recruit them into Containment and retrieval operations.
Currently, termination of excess instances is under review by the Ethics committee.
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to instances of one foot tall ball and socket dolls that lack any facial or sexual features. They are made of a unknown black material that proves highly durable before the completetion of their individual Laius event, after which it becomes comparable to porcelain. Within their chest cavity, a black ovoid item can be found that has thus proven immune to all methods of testing. Once removed, the body will cease all anomolous activity, with replacement of the removed object unable to undo the neutralization.
Instances are sentient, possibly sapient, and have proven to be friendly and cooperative with any human that makes contact with it. When not in the middle of a Liaus event, they will wander around their environment, interacting with other instances or humans, and occasionally lie down for 4-6 hours before returning to normal behavior.
The primary anomolous feature of the scp reveals itself when a Laius event occurs. A liaus event will begin when a human individual enters a 50 foot radius of an instance. Each Instance will have a unique target, with no discernible pattern or apparent preference. Once an instance has chosen its target, it will do everything in its power to make contact, even enlisting the help of other instances in order to do so. Instances have shown advanced problem solving skills and team work in such cases, but due to their small size containment breaches are unlikely..
The instance will continue to try and make contact indefinitly until such time contact is made. Once Contact is made, the instance will sit on one of the target’s shoulders and the subject will be reclassified as SCP-XXXX-1. Thirty days after contact, an event that involves either large loss of life or collateral damage will occur, with SCP-XXXX-A surviving despite all possibility or reasonable logic thanks to the help of the instance. Once SCP-XXXX-1 is deemed to be no longer at risk, the Laius event ends and the instance can be removed from the subject.
Addendum: The following is a record of Laius events witnessed by Foundation personnel.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: —Safe— Euclid
Special containment procedures: Due to a reexamination of previous containment procedures by the ethics committee, SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment unit. Between the hours of 8am to 6pm, SCP-XXXX is allowed access to their foundation provided exoskeletal frame in order to move around their room, interact with with any possessions approved by Site staff, and may interact with specific staff members pending approval of both the lead researcher and the desired staff member.
The exoskeletal frame is to be made of weak plastic parts, with as little metal as possible, and must be incapable of lifting more than Ten pounds or being able to move as speeds excess of 7 miles per hour. The frame is not to have a dedicated power source, requiring a power cord no longer than twenty feet to a dedicated generator that must weigh an excess of twenty pounds. These are to prevent SCP-XXXX from escaping during times it is allowed the use of its frame.
If any part of the frame is damaged, or appears tampered with, or SCP-XXXX stays motionless for an excess of two hours during it’s time in it’s frame, the frame must be confiscated for study, and SCP-XXXX is to be labeled an active security threat until the Site Commander decides otherwise. This status is not to last any longer than a year, unless proven necessary.
Description: Following its retrieval following event SCP-XXXX-F, SCP-XXXX's core has been contained with the current procesdures, and the recovered frame that housed it has been deconstructed and is undergoing continued study. In its current state, it is a black spheroid ball made of unknown material weighing approximately 2 pounds and possesses a diameter of exactly 27 inches. This material has proven incapable of being damaged, and actively puts out a minor field of energy that weakly destabilizes reality within one ( 1 ) millimeter of its surface. This destabilization only causes minute deviations of the norm, and is theorized to be how XXXX interacts with and perceives the world around it. SCP-XXXX has proven to be sapient, possessing a human consciousness that is fully aware of its surroundings despite no obvious sensory systems, and has been described by as “Serious” and “reserved”.
XXXX is believed to be associated with an as of yet unknown Group of Interest, and also possesses extensive knowledge of Foundation operations, SCP objects both known and unknown to the foundation, as well as information related to other groups of interest. Research staff are to prioritize gathering information from XXXX, due to containment proving to be less complicated than initially believed.
SCP-XXXX’s previous body stood roughly ten feet tall, and was shaped similarly to that of a simple artists mannequin, but possessed six arms, all of which were twice as long as would be proportionally normal. The entire body was made up of a similar material to XXXX’s “core”, and while able to be damaged or destroyed, could withstand tremendous amounts of damage from concentrated high caliber weaponry, requiring heavy anti-tank weaponry to cause any noticeable effect. This body possessed anomalous abilities, such as controlling its own weight, the ability to phase through solid materials, and the ability to manipulate the shape of its hands and forearms. It is believed the construct possessed more anomalous qualities, namely the ability to either counter or negate certain other anomalous effects or items, but it was destroyed in incident XXXX before this could be investigated.
The following are incidents in which Foundation personnel came into contact with XXXX. These tended to occur during containment operations involving newly discovered SCP items, however Incident C and E are the exception to this.
