Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: Any non-Foundation undersea expeditions within 20 km of SCP-XXXX are to be prohibited where possible and otherwise intercepted. Usage of SCP-XXXX is dictated by the charter of the Völuspá Project, see Addendum XXXX.A.

Data gathered from SCP-XXXX is extremely sensitive and all procedures relating to its information security are to be followed exactly. No persons may have knowledge of SCP-XXXX except individuals with 5/XXXX clearance. No individual is to be given 5/XXXX clearance unless they are a member of the Overseer Council or permanantly posted to work on the Völuspá Project.

Personnel assigned to the Völuspá Project are to meet the following criteria:

  1. Candidate must have held a clearance level 3 or higher for no less than five years.
  2. Candidate must have no record of failure to follow any information security protocol.
  3. Candidate must have no record of failure to follow special containment procedures.
  4. Candidate must have a tested probability of action displaying disloyalty to the Foundation below 0.1%.
  5. Candidate must agree to lifelong assignment to Project Völuspá. Retirement will not be possible.
  6. Candidate must agree that they will be declared deceased. Immediate family is to receive a pension from the Foundation.

Data generated by SCP-XXXX is to be stored only within SCP-XXXX itself, or at Site-01 as needed. In the event that information must be delivered to the Overseer Council from SCP-XXXX, a Project Völuspá member (herafter "messenger") will be selected to give a report to the Council. The messenger will be ferried to the surface, and then escorted to a deep-exclusion stealth aircraft piloted by hand-selected members of MTF Alpha-1 ("Red Right Hand"). Once travelling at 15,000 m above sea level, the messenger will be granted provisional 6/XXXX clearance and transported to Site-01. Persons with 6/XXXX clearance are strictly prohibited from contact with non-O5 entities.

The messenger may not carry any written or physical documentation regarding SCP-XXXX. The messenger will give an oral report to the Overseer Council. At the conclusion of this meeting, the messenger will receive Class-C amnestic treatment by MTF Alpha-1, then returned to their post at SCP-XXXX. Level 6/XXXX clearance is then withdrawn. The messenger is to have no memory of this task, the Overseer Council, or Site-01.

This information handling procedure is hereafter referred to as the Revelation Protocol. The Revelation Protocol must be enacted if information is obtained from SCP-XXXX that:

  • reveals a 2% or greater probability of a K-Class scenario within the next 6 months
  • reveals any probability of a K-Class scenario instigated by an anomaly known to exist within baseline reality
  • indicates a threat to any member of the Overseer Council.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an undersea cave with an entrance at the ocean floor at precisely 0º latitude, 0º longitude, or the intersection of the equator and prime meridian. The cave entrance is a circular opening 7.4 m in diameter.
