SCP-XXXX

A (Placeholder) Picture of SCP-XXXX

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 3m x 3m x .30m Plexiglas box stored in a vault at Sector-██. No skin contact is to be made with SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a wooden pillow dating back to 6500 B.C.. The object is structured similarly to pillows found in sites related to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. SCP-XXXX consists of a rectangular base (measuring 17.7cm x 17.7cm x 2.54cm), a short, conical-cylindrical stem, and a cradle to place the head.

An area within a 1.18 meter radius around SCP-XXXX will grow a dense patch of flora consisting of grass (Cynodon plectostachyus) and various flowers (Agrostemma gitago, Anemone coronaria L., Calycotome villosa, Cichorium spp., Ornithogalum narbonense, and Rubus ulmifolius subsp. sanctus). The flora does not require soil to grow and will sprout from any material SCP-XXXX is place upon (see Flora Growth Test). The flora does not require maintenance, nor water or sunlight, to live. The flora appears to have little to no roots. Removal of SCP-XXXX, or removal of the flora from the material it is growing out of, will lead to the death of the flora at a biologically normal rate as seen in non-anomalous versions of these species.

Discovery: The Foundation became aware of SCP-XXXX when rumors of a holy object became emulated from a remote village near ██████, India. The elders of the village informed The Foundation that the object was found partially buried in a nearby riverbed. The Foundation retrieved the item and administered Amnestics to the village. The Foundation believes this object is a lost relic referenced in historical texts from around the globe that couldn't be placed past 650 A.D.

— Dr. T██

On the 15th of April, 20██, I had just finished the day's first Flora Growth Test on SCP-XXXX. I began to inspect the flora that had grown around the object, looking for any differences in the species (or even looking for insects) and, during the inspection, I had my hand resting on SCP-XXXX. In hindsight, I can see why I, perhaps, should not have been in contact with an anomalous object, but, having conducted the test on the D-class personnel, I believed there was scientific evidence to support that touching SCP-XXXX garnered no anomalous effects.

However, after what I gather to be several minutes, I heard a voice. It said my name, █████. A soft-spoken, male voice. I was shocked at first, but didn't react. I thought I may have just imagined it, but then it said, 'Talk. You.', and then a word that sounded like "Varenun". At that point, I got up, and I no longer heard it speaking. Curiously, it sounded as though it was struggling to speak. I left the area immediately and contacted my superiors. I was cleared to continue with further research into this new, anomalous effect, and that will be my next step in the investigation of SCP-XXXX. I'm not sure why I spoke to me, but D-XXXX didn't hear anything all night. Very intriguing.


Communication Test

04/28/20██

Condition: D-XXXX was to return and touch SCP-XXXX. D-XXXX was to wear Nitrile gloves and to hold exposure for five minutes.

Result: D-XXXX reported not hearing any voice, and reported no ill-effects.

Continued Testing: D-XXXX was instructed to keep his hands on SCP-XXXX for ten more minutes. There was no change in results.

04/29/20██

Condition: D-XXXX was to return and touch SCP-XXXX with no gloves, and was instructed to hold exposure until instructed otherwise.

Result: After seven minutes and forty-six seconds of exposure, there was apparent contact with D-XXXX and the voice (See Communication Log 1). On site microphones did not pick up any other voices in the room.

After reviewing the log of the last experiment, Dr. T██ concluded a translator fluent in multiple languages would be useful for the next phase of testing and brought in Dr. Austin N███████.

Following analysis of Communication Log 2, Dr. T██ concluded another experiment would be conducted in an attempt to determine the identity of SCP-XXXX-01.

Following discussion with superiors, it was concluded that Dr. N███████, with his consent, would attempt to sleep with his head resting on SCP-XXXX.


The following are logs indicating the content of dreams experienced by Dr. N███████ during experiments with SCP-XXXX, as well as interviews with SCP-XXXX-01 attempting to discuss and interpret the content of the dreams exerpienced by Dr. N███████.

Following discussion between Dr. T██, Dr. N███████, his colleagues, and superiors, there was debate as to what the contents of the dream pertained to and insinuated. As a result of the discussion, Dr. N███████ was to interview SCP-XXXX-01 to determine the meaning behind sharing this experience.

Twice daily, Dr. N███████ attempted to make contact with SCP-XXXX-01 with no success until 05/19/20██ (see Communication Log 5).

Twice daily, Dr. N███████ attempted to make contact with SCP-XXXX-01 with no success until 05/26/20██ (see Communication Log 5).

All further attempts to establish contact with SCP-XXXX-01 has failed. Laying one's head upon SCP-XXXX does not result in any anomalous effects or contact with any anomalous entities. The anomalous properties pertaining to flora growth indicate no change.

Information regarding these dreams and interviews have been passed to superiors for the proper response.
