Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 and its grounds have been purchased by Foundation front company FIS¹ and designated Provisional Site-XXXX. Standard disinformation and security protocols have been enacted under Cover Story 419 ("Private Property"). Additionally, modifications have been made to the structure of SCP-XXXX-1 to facilitate containment.²

SCP-XXXX-A initiation is restricted to researchers with 4/XXXX clearance or higher and must be approved by unanimous consent of the SCP-XXXX Project Board. Researchers must have been exposed to SCP-2140 and are required to pass a monthly psychological evaluation.³ All uses of SCP-XXXX are to be recorded (see Addendum XXXX-04). Unauthorized intrusion into SCP-XXXX-1 is to be repelled with lethal force.

Foundation webcrawler I/O-HILDEGARD is to monitor news media and online traffic for evidence of uncontained SCP-XXXX-N instances. In the event of a confirmed SCP-XXXX-A event, Foundation agents are to secure the SCP-XXXX-N instance pending classification and Provisional Site designation.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a conceptual thaumaturgical language. Unlike conventional spoken and written languages, SCP-XXXX is primarily expressed through the medium of consciousness. An SCP-XXXX message consists of a fixed sequence of qualia which may carry information corresponding to a set of data, instructions, or both. When correctly expressed in the form of SCP-XXXX-A, SCP-XXXX messages induce anomalous effects in baseline reality.

All current findings pertaining to the structure and vocabulary of SCP-XXXX messages can be found in Document SCP-XXXX-26, "Results of Project LOGOS." An illustrative sample of SCP-XXXX vocabulary is provided here.

Quale Description	Reconstructed Meaning	Foundation Standard Transcription
The experience of attempting communication with a higher power	Unknown; required for successful SCP-XXXX transmission	PING
The experience of placing the tip of one's left thumb into a body of cold water	The number 16	16
The experience of listening to the musical tone F6	A command to generate matter	WRITE
The experience of falling into a dark void	A command to perform a different specified instruction	GOTO
The experience of saying the word "Amen" or "Amin"	A command which causes all further message content to be disregarded	RETURN
The experience of separating one's palms from each other	A command to transmit a completed SCP-XXXX message	SEND

SCP-XXXX-1 is ███████ Monastery, an Eastern Orthodox monastery in ███████, Bulgaria. SCP-XXXX-1 and its grounds exhibit an unusual Akiva-rich environment⁴ which is theorized to naturally occur at certain points in space and time (SCP-XXXX-N instances) [1]. At this time, SCP-XXXX-1 is the only confirmed SCP-XXXX-N instance and the only known location in which SCP-XXXX messages can be transmitted and received.

SCP-XXXX-A refers to the ritual by which SCP-XXXX messages are transmitted. SCP-XXXX-A consists of the following steps:

1. A subject enters the chancel of SCP-XXXX-1 alone.
2. The subject meditates on the quale PING.
3. The subject meditates on the quale BREAK.
4. The subject meditates on the desired SCP-XXXX message to transmit.
5. The subject meditates on the quale SEND.

SCP-XXXX-B refers to the anomalous effects produced upon the successful transmission of a SCP-XXXX message. SCP-XXXX-B typically involves vivid hallucinations of qualia in the subject corresponding to a SCP-XXXX response, and may involve a wide range of additional ectoentropic effects.

+ Addendum XXXX-01: Initial Containment Log

Prior to Foundation acquisition, ███████ Monastery was the subject of numerous folk legends involving visions, speaking in tongues, spontaneous rain, and other miracles. It was brought to the attention of the Foundation on ██-██-████, when webcrawler I/O-HILDEGARD flagged an amateur online documentary with a high probability of anomalous activity. The documentary, titled "Heretical Monks of ███████", revolved around the nonstandard Orthodox prayers practiced at ███████ Monastery and featured interviews with its monks regarding their experiences.

Agents D██████ and H██████ were dispatched to ███████ Monastery to confirm the presence of anomalous activity. An interview is transcribed here.

Interview Log XXXX-01-A:

Interviewed: Brother G██████ (a monk at ███████ Monastery)
Interviewer: Agent D██████
Foreword: This interview was carried out to establish the nature of the anomaly, with Agent D██████ posing as a magazine journalist. The text of the interview has been translated from Bulgarian.

<Begin Log>

Interviewer: Could you state your name again for the record?

Brother G██████: My name is P██████ G██████, and I have been a monk here for ██ years.

Interviewer: The locals say that you can work all kinds of miracles at ███████ Monastery. Is it true?

Brother G██████: It's true, it's all true. I have prayed in the chancel myself, and I have heard the voice of God. I have burned in the fire. I have drowned on the shore.⁵

Interviewer: What do you mean by that?

Brother G██████: When you are alone in the chancel, you can open your mind to God, and He talks to you. He gives you dreams when you are awake. It is difficult to describe. You say "Levatel,"⁶ and your prayer ends, and His voice begins.

Interviewer: The filmmaker mentioned this in his documentary. By "Levatel" you mean the word you end your prayers with instead of "Amen"?

Brother G██████: Yes, it is the way we pray here. He told a very ugly lie about us, the filmmaker. We are not heretics. We changed our prayers because we could tell, when you say "Amen," God does not hear. And when you say "Levatel," He hears, and He answers.

Interviewer: How long has ███████ Monastery operated like this?

Brother G██████: I don't know. Forever. (laughs)

Interviewer: Can any monk receive these visions?

Brother G██████: Yes, anyone. You don't have to be a monk. Even some of the townspeople have heard God's voice. You just have to know how to listen.

<End Log>

Following this interview, Agent D██████ obtained permission to pray in the chancel. He prayed according to nonstandard local rites, experienced a SCP-XXXX-B event, and confirmed the presence of a consciousness-affecting anomaly. Following this, the Foundation acquired ███████ Monastery and established Provisional Site-XXXX for testing.

+ Addendum XXXX-02: Initial Testing Log

Initial research into SCP-XXXX was carried out by Researchers Hwang Soon and Zhivko Aleksandrov from ██-██-████ to ██-██-████. For comprehensive documentation, see Document SCP-XXXX-3, "SCP-XXXX Testing Log." A representative sample is shown here.

#	Objective	Methodology	Result
1	Establish baseline for SCP-XXXX testing	Agent D██████ prayed three times in the chancel of SCP-XXXX-1 and verbally described his experiences.	Three identical visions reported. Visions consisted of sequences of vivid sensory hallucinations, or qualia.
2	Determine if using the word "Levatel" triggers SCP-XXXX-B	Agent D██████ prayed several times in the chancel of SCP-XXXX-1, ending his prayers with different vocalizations, and verbally described his experiences.	"Amen", its variants, and most vocalizations produced no anomalous activity. "Levatel" produced qualia corresponding to prior experiments.
4	Determine if SCP-XXXX-B can be recorded	Agent D██████ prayed three times in the chancel of SCP-XXXX-1 while wearing EEG electrodes.	EEG showed distinctive sequence of neural activity corresponding to qualia from reported SCP-XXXX-B event.
12	Determine if SCP-XXXX-B experiences vary with observer	Agents D██████ and H██████ each prayed three times in the chancel of SCP-XXXX-1, on three different days, while wearing EEG electrodes.	Neural activity sequences corresponding to SCP-XXXX-B were identical for both subjects on each day.
25	Determine if SCP-XXXX-B qualia can be decoded	A large sample of EEG data was recorded from SCP-XXXX-B events and provided to Foundation cryptanalysts.	Cryptographic analysis indicates very high likelihood of encoded information.
44	Accidental test	Agent D██████ prayed while listening to music played in Provisional Site-XXXX.	Spontaneous materialization of approx. 100 ml of water in SCP-XXXX-1.
45	Reproduce results of test #44	Agent D██████ prayed while listening to music played in Provisional Site-XXXX.	No water materialized.
46	Reproduce results of test #44	Agent D██████ prayed while focusing on his memory of listening to music played in Provisional Site-XXXX.	Spontaneous materialization of approx. 100 ml of water in SCP-XXXX-1.
64	Isolate cause of ectoentropic effect	Agent D██████ prayed while focusing on his memory of listening to the musical F6 tone.	Spontaneous materialization of approx. 100 ml of water in SCP-XXXX-1.
80	Determine other methods of modifying SCP-XXXX-B output	Agent D██████ prayed while focusing on the experience of listening to the musical F6 tone as played on a ███████.	[DATA EXPUNGED], killing Agent D██████ and one security officer. Provisional Site-XXXX security overhauled. New containment procedures drafted and implemented.

+ Addendum XXXX-03: Project LOGOS Proposal

Project Name: XXXX/LOGOS

Project Lead: Researcher Zhivko Aleksandrov
Additional Participants: Researcher Hwang Soon, Agent ███████ H██████

Cross-Testing Subjects: SCP-XXXX, SCP-758
Additional Resources: None
Risk Assessment: Green

Description: SCP-XXXX is a powerful ectoentropic tool which can be harnessed to provide utility for the Foundation. We hypothesize that SCP-XXXX interactions, being an ordered sequence of quale-based morphemes, can be defined as a language, and can therefore be corrected by SCP-758. Project LOGOS aims to build a systematic dictionary of vocabulary and grammar for executing thaumaturgical commands using SCP-XXXX.

Proposal Status: APPROVED

+ Addendum XXXX-04: SCP-XXXX Usage Log

Reminder: Logging the use of SCP-XXXX is MANDATORY under current containment procedures. Failure to do so will result in a summary court-martial.
