SCP-1963 Daleport
sourceItem Number: SCP-1963

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: : SCP-1936 is to be contained behind a two meter electrical fence, which is to be patrolled by security elements. The area contained is roughly circular, 1km in diameter. Security cameras are to be installed to cover areas not currently being patrolled. Expeditions into SCP-1936 are to be escorted by an armed element as specified by Area-37's Security Director. Personnel are not to enter spatially anomalous locations without specific authorization, with the conditions of such authorization dependent on recent anomalous activity within SCP-1936. Area-37 is to be set-up on the outskirts of the town to support these operations and to provide facilities for the initial testing and classification of objects recovered from SCP-1936. Once classified, these objects are to be sent to the appropriate Site for long-term storage and study. Dead biological samples recovered from SCP-1936 are to be kept under strict quarantine and taken to Area-37. Summary incineration may be performed if the samples are deemed hazardous. In the event that any live biological samples are found in SCP-1936, investigating personnel are to remove themselves from the area and Mobile Task Force Zeta-29 (“Mad Mountaineers”) are to be sent in to recover and bring it into containment.

Description: SCP-1936 is the New England town of dale port. In the year of 1997. The town fell victim to what is presumed to be highly destructive event or a series of highly destructive event over the course of several days. During this time. The foundation was unable to enter the town or observe any event that occurred therein due to the presence of scp-1963-1. A gaseous area centered on dale port that covered the whole town. (For further information, see attempted expedition 1936.) This anomaly is no longer present at scp-1963, having dissipated a week and half after its appearance.

Dimension of the remaining buildings have become significantly altered from the original plans and a large number of them have become topologically inconsistent. Investigations report spatial anomalies including rooms that become smaller when they entered eventually preventing the occupants from moving, 1 door that leads to different point at different time of the day and corridors that despite leading to only one location also leads to several different location.2
No survivors from the anomalous events which affected dale port have been found within the town proper, but the remains of a large number of dale port citizens have been recovered. Cause of death varies, but it appears that a large number committed suicide. In many cases, the remains of this citizen demonstrate anomalous properties, presumed to be a result of the anomalous event. Some of these remains have included

Addendum 1963-A: Testing Log
Test: 1963-1
Personnel Involved: D-5478, D-1586
Description of Orders: Two D-class personnel were ordered to enter the containment area for SCP-1963, pick up the object, examine it for defects, place the object back on its pedestal, and leave. For testing purposes, researchers were asked not to physically intervene under any circumstances.
Description of Events Both personnel entered containment area without event. Upon examining the item, D-1689 suggested she attempt to launch an object into the mouth of D-5165, who concurred. D-1689 removed a small candy from the pocket of her jumpsuit, loaded it into the sling, and fired it at her counterpart. The candy penetrated D-5165's eye socket and lodged itself in her orbital bone, causing significant bleeding, pain, and blindness (later discovered to be permanent) in that eye. D-1689 began laughing uproariously while apologizing; D-5165, while clearly in substantial distress, repeatedly asserted that "it was nothing" and that she would "walk it off." D-5165 waited until her counterpart's back was turned, gained possession of SCP-1963, loaded another candy into the slingshot, and fired at D-1689; the object entered her mouth and lodged itself in her trachea, causing death by hypoxia. D-1689 refused assistance, waving away her counterpart.
Notes: Both D-class personnel had been searched before entering the chamber and were not in possession of any candy at that time. Candies tested but demonstrated no anomalous properties.
