Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe (pending reclassification as Euclid)
Special Containment Procedures: As Foundation attempts to relocate SCP-XXXX-01 have proven futile, it is contained at the site of its discovery. Initially, a simple containment perimeter was constructed in a one kilometer by 1 kilometer area around SCP-XXXX under the guise of a natural rehabilitation effort; however, as further on SCP-XXXX testing has yielded concerning results, containment methods have since been upgraded and a small containment facility has been constructed around the anomaly.
SCP-XXXX is to be held with in a 10 meter by 10 meter reinforced containment cell, which is to be locked at all times, unless testing of SCP-XXXX has been approved. While SCP-XXXX has yet to exhibit any hostile actions when not provoked, no less than fifteen armed guards are to be stationed around SCP-XXXX's containment cell, due to the high probability that the anomaly serves a currently unknown purpose with massive implications. Each guard is to be fitted with standard firearms, as well as an assortment of anti-anomaly sidearms and a handheld distress beacon that can be activated in order to contact Foundation HQ in the event that SCP-XXXX begins to exhibit previously undiscovered properties.
Description: SCP-XXXX consists of 24 (twenty four) human individuals of varying age, race, and [_], contained within a spherical anomalous barrier 6 meters in diameter and 2.8 meters at its maximum height from the ground. The 24 individuals, hereby referred to collectively as SCP-XXXX-01, are arranged in a circle 5 meters in diameter, with a space of approximately 65 centimeters separating each person. All of the individuals are positioned nearly identically, sitting cross-legged in a circle with both arms extended outward in order to hold the hands of the two adjacent persons. All subjects' heads are tilted slightly upward and focus on a singular point in the center of the circle, approximately 1.3 meters above the ground. All subjects also have identical facial expressions, which remain in a resting state. It is yet to be determined if the subjects are conscious or not; however, none have shown any sign of movement since their containment.
All SCP-XXXX-01 individuals appear to be under the effect of some anomalous form of suspended animation, as they exhibit no need to eat, drink, sleep, or even breathe. High tech brain scanning systems have been able to successfully gather readings from within the barrier and confirm brain activity within all 24 of the SCP-XXXX-01 instances. The recorded brain activity does not match any known brainwave patterns and is assumed to be anomalous; however, it loosely resembles the brainwave patterns of someone who is in deep, contemplative thought. Additionally, testing for Hume levels within the contained area of SCP-XXXX have been successful in gathering meaningful information (see test logs XXXX-1 through XXXX-4) Aside from this, the Foundation knows very little about the 24 individuals, as the barrier prevents any further studies. It is yet to be determined if the individuals themselves are anomalous, or if they are merely under the effect of an outside anomalous force.
The barrier that contains all 24 instances of SCP-XXXX-01, hereby referred to as SCP-XXXX-02, has so far proven impervious to damage and appears to serve the primary purpose of preventing the disturbance of the SCP-XXXX-01 instances. All foundation attempts to enter SCP-XXXX-02 or otherwise compromise its isolation of the SCP-XXXX-01 instances have been futile. Further attempts to breach SCP-XXXX-02 have been suspended until further notice, due to testing results regarding the potentially dangerous nature of the anomaly.
Visually, SCP-XXXX-02 tinted a light shade of blue and has a slight luminescence. Streaks of light blue light can be seen traveling down its sides at seemingly random intervals, which originate from the top of the sphere and move at approximately 2.3 meters per second. Upon SCP-XXXX-02 being struck by any amount of force, these streaks will glow much brighter, with specific brightness depending on how much force was used. Additionally, various written messages have been noted to appear on SCP-XXXX-02's surface when a substantial enough force is applied to it. These messages usually consist of a warning or a request for all attempts to penetrate SCP-XXXX-02 to cease. Previous messages that have manifested upon SCP-XXXX-02 are listed below in chronological order of their occurrence:
10/4/████: "Please stop"
10/6/████: "They must not be woken"
10/24/████: "The egg is not yet ready to hatch"
10/28/████: "You shouldn't do that"
12/30/████: "You shouldn't do that"
12/30/████: "You really shouldn't do that"
12/31/████: "You really shouldn't have done that"
1/8/████: "Okay, ███████████████ or ███████████████████████████. ███████."
1/15/████: to present"I have nothing more to say"
Note: Since the occurrence of the last message listed, no unique messages have manifested upon the surface of SCP-XXXX-02. All messages from after this point have simply read, "I have nothing more to say". This has raised speculation as to whether SCP-XXXX-02 is sentient or simply displaying pre-determined messages.
While SCP-XXXX-02 does not appear to serve any purpose outside of deterring access to SCP-XXXX-01, testing has shown that SCP-XXXX-02 is an extraordinarily powerful anomaly, with potency comparable to that of a god, despite its relatively plain nature. There has been much speculation as to why such a powerful anomaly has been implemented for such a seemingly mundane task; however, all that is known at the moment is that the anomaly originates from an extremely capable reality bender, the identity of which is unknown. Further analysis has revealed that in order to create an anomaly of this caliber, its creator would have to be at least a Class IV reality bender. Due to this discovery, several Foundation staff members have requested reclassification of SCP-XXXX as Euclid and even Keter. Thus far, all reclassification requests for Keter have been denied, but reclassification as Euclid is still pending approval. Additionally, further testing of SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties been proposed due to the recent discovery of documents and information potentially pertaining to SCP-XXXX's true nature (see documents _ through __). These proposals are currently pending approval.
Addendum XXXX A:
The following excerpts have been taken from personal observation logs written by researcher Chambers, who was tasked with studying SCP-XXXX-01. Due to the large amounts of extraneous information held within these logs and the largely unchanging results of daily recordings taken by the researcher, only recordings deemed to be relevant have been included.
SCP-XXXX observation log, day 1
This damn thing is invincible. We can't get anything from inside the barrier. Almost all of our tests have either failed, or raised more questions than it did answers. We couldn't even detect any light coming from inside. I mean, there must be light if we can see the people inside. I don't even know at this point. Oh, but our Hume testing actually came back with results. They weren't anything special though. The area around the people's heads are a little off from baseline reality, but it's nothing to write home about. What else would you expect from a magic glowing forcefield ritual?
SCP-XXXX observation log, day 5
Same stuff as yesterday. Well, the Hume levels only went up by .0001%, but other than that, just a bunch of zeros and failure messages.
SCP-XXXX observation log, day 22
Still nothing. They keep piling me on with more tests to try, but none of them work. Then they want me to try all those new tests every day over and over again? It's not gonna stop coming back negative for results. Seriously, why test this stuff? Nothing's changed. Well, nothing except the Hume, but that's only gone up by .005 since day 1. I don't even know why the systems round it to that small a decimal since a thousandth of a Hume is almost literally nothing.
SCP-XXXX observation log, day 224
I signed myself up to research the people inside the forcefield cause I thought it would be the coolest thing to look at. Now I hear that researcher Sampson's discovered the powers of a literal fucking god just by studying the stupid ass glowy thing that's stopping me from finding anything cool. Fucking hell. I bet he's gonna find some way to name his discovery after himself. He gets the Sampson Forcefield God and I'll get the Chambers Stupid-Ass-Hume-Reading-That's-Won't-Move-Past-One-Point-One-Fucking-Five. This is Bullshit.
SCP-XXXX observation log, day 1417
Oh my God. Oh my fucking God. The Hume readings. Holy shit they haven't just been randomly increasing by meaningless thousandths of a percent every day. They're increasing exponentially. I've done the math. Each day's readings map out to a perfect exponential curve. No one paid any attention to it because it was increasing at next to nothing. Hell, I don't blame them, 1400 days in its readings aren't even at 1.5. That's is barely enough to lift a spec of dust half a nanometer, but 73 years from now, the people inside that damn thing will be fucking gods!
SCP-XXXX observation log, day 1428
I've had one hell of a promotion. After figuring out that whole Hume thing they made me a research director! And even though seeing Sampson's face when he heard that I'd be his new boss was absolutely hilarious, the fact that the world's gonna end in less than a century kinda puts a damper on the whole mood. Well, I guess that's not entirely true. Thus far, the team has connected some dots between Sampson's research and mine and discovered that the forcefield thingy will stop being able to contain the people somewhere between 60 and 100 years from now, meaning their Hume levels will stop rising. Which would be great except for the fact that it's all growing exponentially, meaning their Humes anywhere between 170 and 2160 by the time they get out.
So best case scenario, we've got a bus-full of decent reality benders to slap a few Scrantons onto. Worst case scenario, we've got Hume readings nearly triple the count of SCP-343 These wouldn't just be gods, they'd be on a level that doesn't even fit into a god's comprehension of reality as a whole. They wouldn't just be reality benders, they'd be reality rewriters. And we'd have twenty four of the damn things on our hands. If the concept of hands even exists at that point.
Luckily for us, it seems more likely that they'll get out sooner rather than later, putting their Hume at around 300-400, but still, that's 24 powerful-ass reality benders we've got to deal with. Good thing I'll be retired or dead by then. Let's see if I can't get an anomalous principle or two named after me in the mean time. The Chambers Reality Principle. I like the sound of it. Now I just need to figure out what the hell it should be.
Addendum XXXX B:
On March 12th, 19██, the Foundation was informed of an anomalous explosion in ███████, Ukraine, and three sent Foundation operatives who were stationed nearby to inspect the area. Upon arriving the operatives discovered that the building in which the explosion was reported to have happened had been almost completely leveled. Suspended in the air approximately 13 meters above the building's foundation were two glowing spheres, each of which seemed to be holding something. These spheres were later confirmed to be nearly identical in appearance to the forcefield that surrounds SCP-XXXX-01.
Floating next to the two spheres was an extremely unstable orb of pulsating energy, which appeared to be the source of the explosion. For the next 2 hours, this orb continually spat out small pieces of human flesh and viscera that appeared to originate from a single body, but were randomly rearranged so that cell samples recovered from any given piece could be traced back to at least 33 separate body parts. In addition, human screaming could be heard from within the orb for the duration of the two hours in which it was active. The orb eventually began to shrink until was completely undetectable, taking the screaming and any unrecovered pieces of the individual with it. Soon after, the remaining two spheres began to descend and completely dissipated approximately 6 meters above the ground, releasing two previously unnoticed individuals who had been held within the spheres, one of which was had been dead for nearly a week.
In the pocket of the deceased individual, foundation operatives found a crudely drawn flyer written in charcoal. Across the top of the flyer, it reads, "The ultimate path to enlightenment!" followed by the phrases, "Awaken your latent abilities!", "Unlock the power that every person has waiting inside", "███████████████", and "Supernatural potluck every other Wednesday!". At the bottom of the flyer is a line labeled "Sign here", upon which the name, "Bohdan" is written in ink.
Upon further analysis of the flyer, it was proven to have minor memetic properties, which make any bypasser capable of viewing the flyer more prone to noticing and reading it. Any reader who takes serious interest in what the flyer appears to be offering will anomalously gain knowledge of the enlightenment process mentioned in on the flyer's heading and will soon after sign their name at the bottom, although the signing of the document does not seem to be caused under any further anomalous influence and instead, upon the reader's free will. Aside from this, the flyer does not seem to have any other anomalous properties; however, additional testing on the flyer has shown Hume levels much higher than what would be expected of such a low level anomaly.
While the surviving individual, hereby referred to as Subject-XXXX-01, received numerous fractures and a minor concussion from the 6 meter fall, he had not suffered any debilitating or fatal injuries. Upon questioning, the examiner noted that Subject-XXXX-01 spoke a strange dialect of Ukrainian. This was later identified as a dialect spoken by Ukrainian natives under Russian control between 1905 and 1917.
Interview Log: Subject-XXXX-01
Interviewed: Subject-XXXX-01
Interviewer: Doctor ██████
Foreword: The following transcript is from an interview with Subject-XXXX-01, which took place just after the Foundation detained the subject and while he was still under Foundation custody. The transcript has been translated into English from its original language of Ukrainian.
<Begin Log>
Doctor ██████: So, Subject-XXXX-01, what were you doing at the time of your retrieval?
Subject-XXXX-01: Huh? Oh. I was thinking.
Doctor ██████: Thinking…? Would you care to elaborate?
Subject-XXXX-01: Well… I guess it was more of a contemplation.
Doctor ██████: And what was it you were contemplating?
Subject-XXXX-01: Anything. It really didn't matter, understanding would have found me sooner or later. Well, it would've if I wasn't interrupted. Damn, I was so close too. I think I was really onto something right before I woke up.
Doctor ██████: That glowing orb that you were held within. What was its purpose?
Subject-XXXX-01: What? My bed? It was made to help me think. Well… it mostly just kept me from being interrupted. Took care of things like eating and sleeping. Kept noises out and kept my thoughts in. Not much else.
Doctor ██████: Not much else? You say this, yet it caused an explosion that leveled an entire apartment complex.
Subject-XXXX-01: Oh, no. The bed didn't cause that, that was probably Bohdan or Artur… I knew the damned idiots weren't up to the challenge. The man even told them, but they just didn't listen. Now I've been wrapped up in their idiocy again.
Doctor ██████: The… man?
Subject once again does not seem to hear the question and begins to stare off into space
Doctor ██████: Subject-XXXX-01, who is "The Man"
Subject-XXXX-01: The… man…. Oh yeah, him… Hmm… who was he…
Subject seems confused and appears to be trying to remember something
Doctor ██████: Subject-XXXX-01. Would you please answer the question.
Subject does not respond
Doctor ██████: Subject-XXXX-01, I would like to remind you tha-
Subject suddenly sits upright and gasps, apparently remembering something
Subject-XXXX-01: That's it… I understand now! I see it! I can see it! I understand!
Subject small amounts of energy begin to appear around Subject-XXXX-01. They appear to be damaging his skin, but the subject does not seem to be in pain.
Doctor ██████: What are you- Subject-XXXX-01!
At this point, Subject-XXXX-01 begins to [REDACTED], injuring faculty and escaping Foundation custody
<End Log>
Closing Statement: After the occurrences of this interview, Subject-XXXX-01 was classified as a Class III reality bender and attempts to contain him soon followed. Subect-XXXX-01 was able to evade capture for █ weeks, warping local reality as he went. Upon Subject-XXXX-01's apprehension, he was reclassified as SCP-████ and containment was successfully implemented.
