Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
SCP-XXXX filled with water during testing.
Special Containment Procedures: (Original Procedures, as of Item's initial containment. Special containment procedures deemed insufficient following Incident XXXXK1 and were revised following this event.)
SCP-XXXX to be stored in a standard class-1 storage locker located in the object containment wing of Site-25. This locker is to be kept watertight to avoid accidental triggers of its anomalous effects. Daily checks are to be done to ensure liquid build-up within SCP-XXXX does not occur due to failures of the storage locker. Handling of SCP-XXXX may not occur while containing liquid of any form.
Testing on SCP-XXXX is to be performed in a 10 m x 10 m watertight room; methods of absorption must always be included within the testing chamber. Testing on SCP-XXXX must be approved by at least one Level 2 Personal and may not be permitted to last any longer than 1 hour. As of Test XXXX-4, only personnel immunized from SCP-XXXX's effects may be within 10 m of the object during testing.
Following incident XXXXK1, SCP-XXXX is to be permanently locked in a steel storage container, which has been moved to Site-██. Removal of SCP-XXXX from this container is grounds for immediate detainment and further punishment as determined by the O5 Council. Liquids of any form are to be kept out of Storage Wing 3 of Site-██. Anyone found attempting to introduce liquids of any form into the aforementioned wing is to be immediately detained and further punished following determination by the O5 Council.
A small camera A hygrometer is to be included inside of the box to detect changes in humidity and confirm liquids are never form within SCP-XXXX due to condensation or other potentially anomalous means. A routine fail-safe check on this device is to be made every 3 hours.
Testing of SCP-XXXX is forbidden under any circumstance by order of the O5 Council. Failure to comply by the updated containment procedures may result in an AK-Class Submerged-World Scenario.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 355 Ml plastic cup that, when spilled, will cause select individuals within 5 m begin to experience various symptoms related to drowning as well as hallucinations of being in a situation where drowning is likely. These symptoms include: chest pain, asphyxiation, water in the lungs, Hyperventilating, Hysteria, and Eventually Unconsciousness. The ending result of SCP-XXXX's effects on an individual is death within typical time range expected of a drowning victim.
Individuals affected by this anomaly can be temporarily inoculated from it by being assisted in a way that would align with aid to an individual suffering from drowning. However, after a short period of time ranging from ten seconds to five minutes, they will fall back under the effects of SCP-XXXX. Any individual directly involved in either filling or spilling SCP-XXXX are immune to its anomalous effects.
Further testing showed that water and potentially other liquids spilled from SCP-XXXX do not evaporate even when spread over a large surface area. Whether SCP-XXXX can detect a difference between pouring and spilling is so far untested. Prolonged Testing of SCP-XXXX has shown that the radius of this effect increases at a rate of roughly 1 meter every 1.5 hours that has passed since the liquid was initially spilled. These effects can be ended via soaking the spilled liquid in an absorbent material. -See Addendum XXXXc.
Addendum XXXXa - Testing Logs
Date: ██/04/2016
Subject(s): D-4023; female, 22 years of age. Subject charged with Arson and four counts of manslaughter. D-7642; male, 56 years of age. Subject charged with armed robbery and one counts of second degree murder. Subjects are both cooperative.
Test Description: D-4023 is to be provided with SPC-XXXX already filled with water and then tip the object, spilling its contents onto the table. Neither subject is to be told the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX. A towel is to be provided to absorb the water. Junior Researcher Amanda Rose served as the designated test controller.
<begin transcript>
Dr. Rose: D-4023 and D-7642, are you two ready to begin?
D-7642: Uh, Yes I'm… I'm ready.
D-4023: Yeah, sure Doc. What do you want me to do exactly? Just knock over this cup?
Dr. Rose: Yes, just make sure the water is spilled.
D-4023: Okay, I guess
[D-4023 walks over to table and smacks the cup, spilling 300 Ml of water across the table and floor.]
D-4023: Is that it? I feel like a cat right now, what was-
[D-4023 suddenly stops speaking as D-7642 collapses. D-7642 can be seen thrashing the ground as though he is underwater. The remainder of his vocalizations contain gasping and coughing.]
D-4023: Dr. Rose, what the hell's happening? Are you okay man?
D-7642: Fuck, shit! Where did all that water come from?!
Dr. Rose: R-Remain calm D-4023. This… This is an expected result.
[D-4023 rushes to D-7642 and attempts to get him to sit up, but this fails.]
D-4023: Expected? What the fuck! Doc, this is fucked, he's dying!
D-7642: I'm- I'm dying?! No. No! Emma, help me! Get me out! [Despite being several meters from the spill, D-7642 begins to cough up water.]
D-4023: What do you want me to do? There's no water!
[Doctor Rose requests permission from Head Researcher ████ Jones to end the test, permission is denied.]
[D-4023 begins to pull up D-7642]
D-7642: Thank you! Dear fucking God, how did that get here?
D-4023: Wait, what? What are you talking about?
D-7642: Wait, it's rising! The water's rising!
D-7642: Shit! Fuck! Fuck me!
[D-7642 pushes away D-4023 and attempts to grip the air, mimicking pulling himself up. Five Minutes pass with continued struggling from D-7642 and repeated attempts by 4023 to calm him before D-7642 falls unconscious]
D-4023: Goddammit! Hey, Doc! A little help would be appreciated! Come on Will!
[D-4023 starts to perform CPR on D-7642 who immediately awakens.]
D-4023: What the hell? I barely touched you.
D-7642: No! Don't let me fall back in! We need to get inside!
D-4023: Calm down, you're seeing things, we're in the test chamber remember?
D-7642: Why won't you listen to me you fool!
[their bickering is halted when D-7642 once again begins to cough up water. At this point Dr. Jones decides nothing more can be learned and gives permission to Dr. Rose to end the test]
Dr. Rose: D-4023, please use the provided towel to wipe up the water spilled from SCP-XXXX
D-4023: Are you sick? No, he's drowning. I don't give a fuck about a spill!
Dr. Rose: D-4023, calm down. The spill is what's causing the anomaly. Please clean it.
D-4023: What? [D-4023 proceeds to clean the spill. After roughly two minutes D-7642 starts breathing again, though he remains unconscious.]
<end transcript>
Analysis: Initial reports have been confirmed, further testing is required to fully understand the effects of SCP-XXXX. For now it would seem that only a simple towel is need to maintain containment even if a test goes awry. What really interests me is just how quickly D-7642 was removed from the effect, I would advise testing this phenomenon next, for now I am documenting SCP-XXXX as safe.
-Junior Researcher Amanda Rose.
Note: Details of anomalies are not to be shared with D-Class Personnel under any circumstances. Dr. Rose has been reprimanded and given a warning. Honestly, Amanda I expect more from my team, see to it that this doesn't happen again. -Head Researcher ████ Jones.
Date: ██/04/2016
Subject(s): D-4023; female, 22 years of age. Subject charged with Arson and counts cases of manslaughter. Subject was uncooperative for most of the testing, but obeyed orders. D-8429; male, 26 years of age. Subject charged with two counts of second degree murder. Subject was hesitant to be used for testing after being injured by SCP-████, but was cooperative after being escorted by guards.
Test Description: D-4023 is to be provided with SPC-XXXX already filled with water and then tip the object, activating its primary effect. After D-8429 is under the effect of the object's effect, D-4023 is to immediately perform CPR. Additional tools that would aid drowning victims have been supplied. A towel is to be provided to absorb the water. Junior Researcher Amanda Rose served as the designated test controller under close supervision from Head Researcher ████ Jones.
<begin transcript>
Dr. Rose: D-4023 and D-8429, are you two ready to begin?
D-4023: No Doc, can't you get a machine to do this part?
Dr. Rose: No D-4023, just obey orders.
[D-4023 shrugs and raises her middle finger to the camera]
Dr. Rose: Very good, D-8429, are you ready to begin?
D-8429: Y-Yeah, what exactly does this cup do?
Dr. Rose: Don't worry about that; D-4023, can you please knock over SCP-XXXX.
[D-4023 walks over to table and pauses. After 4 seconds, they carefully tip SCP-XXXX, spilling 275 Ml of water across the table.]
D-4023: Sorry man…
D-8429: What do you mean? What have y-
[D-8429 displays symptoms of drowning in line with the effects of SCP-XXXX's Primary effect. D-4023 immediately attempts CPR on D-8429. D-4023 immediately ceases being under SCP-XXXX's primary effect.]
D-8429: What the fuck?! That was a shit-ton of water!
[Dr. Rose told to instruct D-4024 of their next orders. After hesitating, Dr. Jones takes the microphone.]
Dr. Jones: D-4023, stop performing CPR on D-8429.
D-4023: What? No, that's fucked up.
Dr. Jones: That is an order D-4023.
[D-4023 shows considerable annoyance, before walking away from D-8429. D-8429 shows confusion, but quickly falls back under the effects of SCP-XXXX.]
Dr. Jones: Good, now throw the life preserver to D-8429.
[Upon getting a hold of the life preserver, D-8429 ceases to be affected by the primary effect of SCP-XXXX, but continues to remain under its other effects. Similar results seen in all attempts, including a life raft, breathing apparatus, driftwood, and life jacket. After roughly 2 hours of testing, D-8429 passed out from exhaustion and could be awoken before he drowned. As remainder of log shows no new information, this data has been removed]
Analysis: Current theories suggest that indeed it is not the actual benefit of the live saving methods that undo SCP-XXXX's primary effect, but rather that the method would work to help or save a drowning victim. Whether this actually counteracts the effect or simply inoculates affected individuals is still unknown. Future testing should focus on this "Inoculation Process" or on the long term effects of SCP-XXXX's effects as testing ended before schedule.
-Junior Researcher Amanda Rose. (reviewed by Dr. Jones.)
Note: Due to Dr. Rose's repeated attempts to break protocol regarding D-Class personnel or sympathize with said personnel, I am submitting a request to have her transferred either to the organizational department or to an object that does not require D-Class testing, such as SCP-████ or SCP-████. This isn't personal, I just have no time for such members on my research team. -Head Researcher ████ Jones.
-Request pending review from Site-Director.
Date: ██/04/2016
Subject: D-4023; female, 22 years of age. Subject charged with Arson and four counts of manslaughter. Subject is cooperative. D-9731; male, 34 years of age. Subject charged with 9 counts of sexual assault and 7 counts of first degree murder. Subject had to be bound after an incident while entering the room in which D-9731 attempted to [DATA EXPUNGED].
Test Description: D-4023 is to be provided with SPC-XXXX filled with water and then tip the object, activating its primary effect. To test continued effects of SCP-XXXX, a life preserver has been given to D-9731 and the test is set to be concluded after 6 hours. Junior Researcher Amanda Rose served as the designated test controller under close supervision from Head Researcher ████ Jones.
<begin transcript>
Dr. Rose: D-4023, would you please knock over SCP-XXXX
D-4023: Fucking absolutely, doc.
D-9731: What the fuck are you on about?
[D-4023 walks over to the table and grabs SCP-XXXX, before emptying on the ground in front of D-9731 and throwing the cup at his head. She then walks back to the table and takes a seat on it. D-9731 swears at and threatens D-4023 before jumping in his seat, looking around and breathing heavily.]
D-9731: Oh my fu- oh my god, where… where the fuck am I? Doc? Doctor?! Can you still hear me?
Dr. Rose: Yes D-9731, we can hear you.
D-9731: O-ok, do you know where I am?
Dr. Rose: I'm afraid not D-9731, can you describe what you're seeing?
D-9731: Uh, y-yeah. I'm.. There's w-water everywhere. As far as I c-can see. It- it's so cold doc, you got to get me out of here.
Dr. Rose: Yeah… We're working on that D-9731.
[Two hours and forty-four minutes pass without unexpected events. The following conversation was recorded through the observation room]
Dr. Rose: Dr. Jones, I'm thinking we should call this. It's been almost an hour and no new effects have occurred.
Dr. Jones: Do you really think that Amanda? Or are you just getting sympathetic with D-class on me again?
Dr. Rose: Please, be professional. I'm simply saying that the purpose of this test was to see the effect of increased exposure. I am of the opinion, Dr. Jones, that forty minutes with no additional information is enough.
Dr. Jones: The test was authorized to last 6 hours.
Dr. Rose: We reserved 6 hours, there's no reason to use all of them, especially if it just wastes time and resources.
[Both are silent for 7 seconds, before Dr. Jones can be heard sighing]
Dr. Jones: Ask the D-class if they notice anything different.
Dr. Rose: D-4023 and D-9731, do you notice anything different that has occurred?
D-4023: Naw, I'm just chilling doc, big guy over here can't hear me, but not sure if that counts.
D-9731: n-n-no. Ar-Are you guys any closer to g-getting me out? It's freezing in here.
Dr. Rose: We're still tryi-
[A loud crash is heard from within the observation booth, video shows Dr. Jones clutching at his throat and violently coughing. Dr. Rose rushes over to him, but rushes back to the microphone after seeing Dr. Jones cough up water.]
Dr. Rose: D-4023! Quickly, wipe up the water!
D-4023: Why? This bastard has it coming. Fuck, he should be staying like this for-
Dr. Rose: Damn it, the effect is spreading, either do it, or I'll send in the guards.
D-4023: Shit, really? O-okay, fuck me.
[D-4023 grabs the towel and rushes to D-9731, throwing the towel on the ground where the puddle was and hastily soaking up the water] . After this is done, both D-9731 and Dr. Jones stop displaying any of the effects of SCP-XXXX]
<end transcript>
Analysis: So turns out the area of effect increases over time. Test XXXX-2 must have ended just before the radius increased to affect the observation booth. Judging by the position of SCP-XXXX and the booth, I am of the belief the area of effect for the object increases by roughly a meter every hour and a half. What's more concerning to me is why only Dr. Jones was affected but not me; my current theories are either that I am uniquely immune to SCP-XXXX's effects (a doubtful occurrence) or that the causes of inoculation are wider than the individual who emptied SCP-XXXX.
Although this information should be the focus of future testing, the fact that the area of effect increases poses a threat to the current containment procedures. I'm still confidant saying this object is safe as its effects are easily stopped and only start when we permit it. I have still edited the procedures and description based on this new information. Dr. Jones has revoked my warning and I have been given permission by him to take full responsibility for SCP-XXXX testing until further notice.

Subject: D-4023; female, 22 years of age. Subject charged with Arson and four counts of manslaughter. D-2619; female, 28 years of age. Subject charged with 12 counts of vehicular manslaughter. D-8008; male, 55 years of age. Subject charged with 3 counts of first degree murder. All Subjects are cooperative.
Test Description: D-2619 is to be provided with SCP-XXXX and a pitcher of water and then instructed to fill SCP-XXXX before handing it over to D-4023. D-4023 is to be provided with SPC-XXXX filled with water and then tip the object, activating its primary effect. Junior Researcher Amanda Rose served as the designated test controller equipped with a life jacket to protect falling under the effects of SCP-XXXX.
Analysis: The test transcript was corrupted from electrical failure of the audio-video camera, this is incredibly odd and I've called E&TS to get this fixed. Me and Dr. Jones agree that testing should be halted until the recording device can be fixed or replaced.
As to the test results, this was a pretty mild test compared to what we've seen so far. D-4023 spilled the object as instructed and it was proven that our initial suspicions are correct, as D-2619 was unaffected by the object's effects. As for other events, D-4023 and D-2619 got into a brief, physical altercation after D-2619 fell under duress at seeing D-8008 under the effects of SCP-XXXX. Guards were required to pull away D-2619.
I have submitted a new proposal to SCP-XXXX containment procedures to restrict testing supervision to only those inoculated by it's effects. I want to avoid potential injury of foundation personnel in future testing. - Junior Researcher Amanda Rose.
Date: ██/05/2016
Subject: D-4023; female, 22 years of age. Subject charged with Arson and four counts of manslaughter. D-3322; male, 18 years of age. Due to a failed suicide attempt, D-3322 is paralyzed from the neck down. Subject charged with 7 counts of first degree murder and 12 counts of attempted first-degree murder. Both subjects are cooperative.
Test Description: D-4023 is to be provided with SPC-XXXX filled with water and then tip the object, activating its primary effect. D-4023 is to then test uses of non-cloth based absorption methods: namely a sponge, a mop, and melamine foam. D-3322 is to be given a life jacket to avoid the primary effects of SCP-XXXX and confirm effects of the test. Video recordings failed and only Audio was able to be transcribed.
<begin transcript>
Dr. Rose: D-4023 and D-3322, are you two ready to begin?
D-3322: Yeah, let's just get this done.
Dr. Rose: D-4023, you ready?
[Silence from D-4023]
Dr. Rose: Emma? You o- Are you ready?
D-4023: huh? Yeah, sorry doc. I- I'm ready to begin.
Dr. Rose: Okay, please begin the test.
[D-4023 can be heard spilling the contents of SCP-XXXX.]
Dr. Rose: D-3322, can you please describe what you're seeing?
D-3322: H-holy shit. Where th- It looks like a giant pool, I- I can't the edges anywhere. The life jacket you gave me is keeping me floating. Can I come out?
Dr. Rose: We're working on that. D-4023, can you attempt cleaning up the split with the sponge?
[Silence for 1 minute as D-4023 presumably obeys the instruction.]
D-4023: I think the sponge is dripping too much, I don't think this'll work doc…
Dr. Rose: Okay then, please try the mop.
[D-4023 presumably follows the order and the sound of mopping can be heard.]
D-3322: Hey, I can hear someone, is anyone else here?
Dr. Rose: No D-3322, it should just be you there.
[Three minutes and 15 seconds pass.]
D-4023: Look, I've been at this for a couple of minutes now. I don't think mopping works. Should I move onto the magic eraser doc?
Dr. Rose: Yes please, try using the melamine foam.
[D-4023 can be heard giving faint laughter. 30 seconds pass before D-4023 gives nervous laughter.]
D-4023: Uhm, Doc?
Dr. Rose: Yes D-4023?
D-4023: I- I think the water might have gone between the floor tiles. The water's definitely wiped up and he's… still out of it.
Dr. Rose: Okay. Use the towel then, that's the tried and tested method.
D-4023: …Got it.
[After 10 seconds of wiping the floor with the towel, D-3322 confirms that he's no longer under the effects of SCP-XXXX. Dr. Rose then ends the recording.]
<end transcript>
Analysis: So I do not know what the problem is, but the camera was busted. We tried to start this test four times this week and the video has not been working at all. I have sent a proposal to investigate the possibility of this failure being anomalous in nature.
As for the test, it seems that only the towel worked to end SCP-XXXX's effects. I suspect that objects such as paper towels, loose cloth, and other fabric-like materials would also work and recommend we test this factor next. I also have sent a request to cycle out D-4023 as it seems the stress of continued testing is beginning to have an effect on he- on them.

I woke up today at noon, nothing seemed wrong no one else was awake, but I thought nothing of it. I didn't
I went to the cafeteria for breakfast and everyone in there was dead. I ran to the nearest personnel, Doctor Adams, and tried to revive him, but. It didn't work.
So many different causes ran through my mind. The on-site Nerve Agent was released, a containment breach, an attack from some sort of GoI, some sort o
I must have checked a two dozen bodies before I noticed it. The Water
Some young kid, a few years younger than me, Doctor Johnson I think? He had some much water leaking out of his mouth. After I noticed it on him, I saw it everywhere. Everyone had it. I was I am certain that somehow SCPXXXX is to blame here.
shit.
I still don't understand this though. XXXX's effect spreads so slowly, hell it would need to be 10 times as fast to spread all the way here. Is it XXXX?
I need to be sure, I'm going to go to Wing 5 and see if D-40 Emma is alive. If she isn't dead like everyone else, then it's absolutely confirmed. God, let she be dead and this be some unrelated accident.
It's only been an hour and already I feel a fucking moron for ever hoping this wasn't XXXX at play. Honestly, how could have been so dumb?
Emma was alive. Hell, she practically jumped out of her skin when I opened the cell door. Thought there was another test, apparently the cells down here are soundproof.
She was sure she cleaned up the water. Told me that last night she woke up with a fright. Thought she might have no cleaned it all. I guess the effect would have needed to restart for the other D-Class to stop being affected. I don't know where to go next.
I wish
I have no idea why the effect restarted in the night, I have no idea why it's spreading so fast, I'm fucking dumb.
[The next four pages are partially ripped out and scribbled over]
Yeah, I have no ideas. While I was wasting time failing to think what happened, I gave Emma the code to use the off site phone to see how far the effect is.
It's bad
Assuming that Oceanic Site ██ was the furthest the effect reaches, it's spread ███ km. The only answer is that SCP-XXXX's AoE spread is exponential in some way, that or the speed of its spread accelerates, but that doesn't align with the speed of the spread earlier.
I feel like a kid again. Helpless, hopeless.
We're going to go and see if anything happened with the Testing chamber, but who knows.
So nothing seems to be wrong.
Well, nothing's wrong with the chamber. We tried to see if any water was left and nothing's here. It's-
Is 2k even gonna work?
Fuck.
Okay, so I think it's obvious enough now that there's something we didn't know. Yeah, shocker for the Foundation…
Emma had an idea.
I hope she's wrong. I
She IS wrong. There's no way that it works that way. I gave her some amnestics, the strong shit, Class B. God, it was taxing to explain all this shit ag
While she was getting herself together, I tried calling the folks in ████ ████ and they sent a guy out here. He hasn't shown up yet. He's been just stationary in the waters for a good 10 minutes.

I've been looking for a couple minutes now, but from what I can tell, t-… The effect is doubling every 3 or so hours. At this point I can't afford to waste time. I'm going to destroy the fucking cup and pray that it works.

Addendum XXXXd - Note discovered on the corpse of D-4023
Addendum XXXXe - Formal Incident Report XXXXK1, signed █/05/2016
On the night 16/05/2016 following test XXXX-5, Site-25 experienced a mass containment breach as a result of SCP-XXXX. The Investigation following the end of the incident has come to the conclusion that the primary cause was an assumption of the nature and effects of SCP-XXXX without full and proper testing; As well as repeated use of specific D-Class in tests that involve cognitohazards, though that aspect of the object was not yet known.
The other effect of SCP-XXXX not known at the time, but confirmed in later analysis of the spread of the effect on site, was that the area of effect does not spread at a steady rate, but at an exponential one: doubling every three hours.
Official casualties of XXXXK1 include 56 D-Class Personnel, 678 Foundation Personnel, 12 Humanoid SCPs, and an estimated ~400 civilian casualties. However, without the relatively quick work of Dr. Rose and D-4023, the effect would have doubled to cover most of Southern Africa and Argentina, killing tens of millions of civilians and foundation personnel, with additional growth certainly seeing an AK-Class Submerged-World Scenario. With this feat in mind, Dr. Rose has been honored with the Foundation Star, as has D-4023 posthumously.
Update as of ██/02/2018: Under the request of Site Director Amanda Rose, Emma Fillmore has had her designation and rank as D-4023 removed posthumously.
Addendum XXXXf - Incident XXXX2 and subsequent transfer to Euclid Class
On during a routine check SCP-XXXX's Camera on 02/09/2020, it was discovered that water had appeared within the circuit boards of the camera. It is the universal conscientious of the O5 council that both this likely occurred via anomalous means, and that it is related to a similar failure prior to Incident XXXXK1.
To prevent similar equipment failures, a hygrometer is to be used rather than a camera. Additionally as a result on the incident, SCP-XXXX has been re-designated to Euclid Class. This shall remain its designation until a predictable pattern or cause to these technical malfunctions can be found.
