Item #: SCP-4000
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4000 is to be kept in a cell 27 floors below ground at Site ██. No person, unless for testing purposes, may interact with or speak to SCP-4000. All communications with SCP-4000 will be done through text-to-voice programs. The bi-weekly reading of the reality-anchored world history encyclopedia will be shortened to once every three days while SCP-4000 has not used up all 31 “erasings”. Every interaction must be logged on paper and placed under a Scranton Reality Anchor before the interaction is attempted.
In the event of a containment breach, all Foundation faculty must exit Site ██ without encountering SCP-4000. All doors will be locked down and a team of remote-controlled drones will be sent in to sedate and retrieve SCP-4000.
Description: SCP-4000 is a middle aged caucasian male that goes by the name of Cameron Marks. At the time of discovery, SCP-4000 claimed to be over 6000 years old, but there is no evidence to support this claim. SCP-4000 is a reality bender of the highest caliber, capable of shaping past, present, and future realities. SCP-4000 does this by way of “erasing” other sentient beings from existence, in both the past and present. Essentially, if SCP-4000 wills it, it can make it as if the sentient being targeted was never born. The being does not have to be living to be targeted by SCP-4000.
Due to limited testing of SCP-4000, we can assume that the information SCP-4000 needs to “erase” someone from existence includes, but is not limited to:
- A name
- Some form of DNA
- An article of clothing
- An image of someone
- Someone’s voice
When a sentient being is “erased”, all of reality is immediately changed as if the person never existed. From interviews with eliminated persons’ past parents, the common trend is that either a different person was born in their stead, or their mother was never impregnated in the first place.
Attempts to neutralize SCP-4000 are fruitless, as the being responsible for the attempted execution of SCP-4000 is immediately “erased” from history. SCP-4000 seems to be affected when a being is “erased” after an attempted assassination, as it does not remember any attempted assassinations. See Testing Log SCP-4000 for all attempted executions of SCP-4000.
SCP-4000 is only able to willingly “erase” 31 people every year. It has been proven that the “erasings” that happen due to attempted assassinations of SCP-4000 do not add to the 31-person counter.
Discovery: SCP-4000 was initially discovered on 03/19/2003 when a discrepancy was found in the world history encyclopedia that the Foundation keeps locked down by Scranton Reality Anchors. During the routine bi-weekly reading of the book, the reader, a Foundation Historian named Trevor Pont noticed that instead of Adolf Hitler becoming the German Chancellor in 1933, a German by the name of Claus Streigt was elected Chancellor, and peacefully rehabilitated post World War 1 Germany. A week after this discovery, the Foundation received reports of a man in Kansas boasting about being responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews. After weeks of surveillance and assumed failed attempts to contact1, the Foundation moved in to SCP-4000’s location with a small group of remote controlled drones, which were used to render SCP-4000 unconscious, and bring him back to Site ██.
