Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is currently contained in the Site 41 Anomalous Storage Wing. Semi-monthly testing may be performed on the object at the discretion of senior research staff, though it has not displayed any anomalous properties for some time. Anyone coming into contact with the surface of SCP-xxxx's mirror should be mindful of the possibility of laceration. See the attached document for containment procedures prior to reclassification.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a bathroom vanity mirror and cabinet set measuring approximately 61 cm wide (24") with white shaker style cabinet doors and mirror trim. The mirror has suffered severe damage after incident xxxx-A, and the glass has been repaired to the best of the Foundation's ability. SCP-xxxx now functions as a normal mirror, though a poor one at best. All testing performed after 10/15/2012 has failed to yield any interesting results, and a declassification request for the object is pending. See attached document for information regarding its properties prior to 10/15/2012.

Item #: SCP-3804
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3804 is located in ███████████, Wales. The property housing SCP-3804 (hereon designated Site 3804) is to be permanently stationed by 2-4 Site personnel posing as its residents. Six (6) D-Class personnel are to be granted extended residence on the site for maintenance purposes. Access to Site 3804 is restricted to Level 3 and 4 personnel only, though Level 2 research staff may perform testing on SCP-3804 with written approval from any two (2) Level 3 or 4 personnel currently assigned to it.
Description: SCP-3804 is a large hedge maze with outer dimensions of 450 meters x 375 meters x 3.25 meters, with small shed units marking the northern and southern entrances. Inner dimensions of the maze are non-euclidean, and have varied wildly between attempted mappings. Preliminary estimates suggest the interior area of the maze to cover no less than ███ km². Site 3804 was secured by the Foundation in 19██, when staff purchased the property from ███████ █████ ███. At the time of purchase, █████ had been reported [REDACTED] from inside the maze. █████ was treated with Class B amnestics before relocation and wire transfer were carried out.
From above, SCP-3804 always displays the same layout (viewable in document 3804-A1). Anyone entering from above, below, or through the outer wall of the maze will experience none of its anomalous properties; SCP-3804 will function as a typical hedge maze. When entering the maze via one of the shed entrances, however, subjects will experience a different layout entirely (hereon designated SCP-3804-1). Subjects inside of SCP-3804-1 are not visible from SCP-3804's exterior. SCP-3804-1 will display a different interior layout with each new subject that enters it. It is hypothesized that SCP-3804-1 is capable of altering its layout while subjects are inside, though this has yet to be confirmed. Day and night will continue to progress as normal to an observer inside SCP-3804-1, though with a noticeable lack of weather. Wireless communication systems will fail inside of SCP-3804-1, so any equipment provided to test subjects entering the maze should be wired, and capable of reaching distances of 5 km. Once inside of SCP-3804-1, the door behind them will close and lock, despite all attempts to prop or secure it open. These doors have proven immune to all forms of damage. Subjects attempting to exit SCP-3804-1 by travelling through or above the walls of the maze will simply find themselves in another part of the maze itself.
While inside of SCP-3804-1, subjects report compounding feelings of stress, paranoia, and exhaustion. Over time, these symptoms will progress into feelings of rage, hysteria, and mania, with subjects often becoming unresponsive and uncooperative after extended periods of exposure. To date, no anomalies have been reported, outside of the maze's indefinite size, effect on subject mentality, and possible self-restructuring capabilities. An exit to SCP-3804-1 has yet to be found from inside.
VIEWING OF THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT IS RESTRICTED TO PERSONS WITH LEVEL 3 OR 4 CLEARANCE ASSIGNED TO SCP-3804. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A γ3 MEMETIC COGNITOHAZARD DESIGNED TO TRIGGER CARDIAC ARREST IN ALL NON-APPROVED PERSONNEL ATTEMPTING TO READ IT.
Attached is the Level 3/4 document pertaining to SCP-3804. This document is classified to Level 2 and under staff lacking O5 authorization. Do not share this document with other staff members. Sharing or discussion of information correlating to SCP-3804-2 is grounds for immediate removal from the project, rescindence of upper clearance level, and potential termination. New information is highlighted in blue.
Item #: SCP-3804
Object Class: Safe Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3804 is located in Machynlleth, Wales. The property housing SCP-3804 (hereon designated Site 3804) is to be permanently stationed by 2-4 Site personnel posing as its residents, as well as 4 armed guards stationed at either entrance to the maze. Six (6) D-Class personnel are to be granted extended residence on the site for maintenance recontainment purposes. Access to Site 3804 is restricted to Level 3 and 4 personnel only, though Level 2 research staff may perform testing on SCP-3804 with written approval from any two (2) Level 3 or 4 personnel currently assigned to it. SCP-3804-2 is to be provided with one (1) D-class personnel of above-average body mass once per week under the guise of approved testing. No requests for testing submitted by Level 2 or lower staff are to be approved. In the event of a containment breach by SCP-3804-2, refer to document 3804-B for recovery protocol.
Description: SCP-3804 is a large hedge maze with outer dimensions of 450 meters x 375 meters x 3.25 meters, with small shed units marking the northern and southern entrances. Inner dimensions of the maze are non-euclidean, and have varied wildly between attempted mappings. Preliminary estimates suggest the interior area of the maze to cover no less than 200 km². Site 3804 was secured by the Foundation in 1975, when staff purchased siezed the property from former cult leader Culhwch Lloyd XIV. At the time of purchase, Lloyd had reported [REDACTED] from inside the maze, was in the process of carrying out a ritualistic sacrifice to SCP-3804-2 (see below). The cult was executed on the spot and subsequently the ritual was halted early. The resulting containment breach resulted in the deaths of 13 MTF personnel, and injury of 28 more. Summarily, Special Containment Procedures should be rigorously carried out in the future, to discourage future breach attempts by SCP-3804-2. and was treated with Class B amnestics before relocation and wire transfer were carried out.
From above, SCP-3804 always displays the same layout (viewable in document 3804-A1). Anyone entering from above, below, or through the outer wall of the maze will experience none of its anomalous properties; SCP-3804 will function as a typical hedge maze. When entering the maze via one of the shed entrances, however, subjects will experience a different layout entirely (hereon designated SCP-3804-1). Subjects inside of SCP-3804-1 are not visible from SCP-3804's exterior. SCP-3804-1 will display a different interior layout with each new subject that enters it. It is hypothesized that SCP-3804-1 is capable of altering its layout while subjects are inside, though this has yet to be confirmed. Day and night will continue to progress as normal to an observer inside SCP-3804-1, though with a noticeable lack of weather. Wireless communication systems will fail inside of SCP-3804-1, so any equipment provided to test subjects entering the maze should be wired, and capable of reaching distances of 5 km. Once inside of SCP-3804-1, the door behind them will close and lock, despite all attempts to prop or secure it open. These doors have proven immune to all forms of damage. Subjects are perfectly capable of leaving SCP-3804-1 once inside, thoguh personnel should take strong measures to ensure that subjects entering are kept unaware of this, and do not attempt to leave SCP-3804-1 though the shed doors. Extended attempts to escape are to be met with lethal force. Subjects attempting to exit SCP-3804-1 by travelling through or above the walls of the maze will simply find themselves in another part of the maze itself.
SCP-3804-2 is a carnivorous, vaguely-humanoid entity residing within SCP-3804-1. Though appearing mostly human, SCP-3804-2 is extremely large, measuring an estimated 2.6 meters in height, and possesses a distinct porcine phenotype. SCP-3804-2 emits distinct grunts resembling those of Sus scrofa1, which can occasionally be heard within SCP-3804-1. Tracking devices indicate that while docile, SCP-3804-2 will wander the maze, seemingly at random. SCP-3804-2 is highly intelligent, and will go to great lengths to avoid being recorded or falling into traps. SCP-3804-2 will attack humans on sight, using sharp claws and overwhelming strength to maul and eviscerate them. SCP-3804-2 will proceed to consume its target alive, including all articles of clothing and personal belongings. If subject is killed in the attack, SCP-3804-2 will abandon it, and choose not to feed. SCP-3804-2 expresses no interest in feeding on animals. SCP-3804-2 can typically remained sated without feeding for roughly 8 days before attempts at breaching containment will be made. SCP-3804-2 has proven highly resistant to all forms of ballistic, incendiary, radioactive, and septic forms of damage, and has dislpayed advanced regenerative capabilities, which appear to accelerate shortly after feeding.
While inside of SCP-3804-1 in the presence of SCP-3804-2, subjects report compounding feelings of stress, paranoia, and exhaustion. Over time, these symptoms will progress into feelings of rage, hysteria, and mania, with subjects often becoming unresponsive and uncooperative after extended periods of exposure. To date, no anomalies have been reported, outside of the maze's indefinite size, effect on subject mentality, and possible self-restructuring capabilities. An exit to SCP-3804-1 has yet to be found from inside. Attempts at permanent containment of SCP-3804-2 are ongoing. As of 14/12/2008, neutralization efforts are permitted under O5 approval. Sole termination of SCP-3804-2 is preferred, but destruction of SCP-3804 is acceptable and is to be considered justifiable collateral damage.
SCP-3804-2 CONTAINMENT BREACH PROTOCOL
To be referenced in the event of a containment breach outside of preapproved conditions
In the event that SCP-3804-2 escapes containment, recovery efforts should be made immediately in the the following order until recontainment is achieved:
ASSAULT
SCP-3804-2 should be engaged by all capable personnel to the fullest extent of available munitions. Though highly resilient to most forms of injury, subject is known to be relatively vulnerable to explosive weaponry. This should be the primary form of engagement when dealing with a containment breach.
APPEASEMENT
Provide SCP-3804-2 direct uninhibited access to available D-Class personnel on-site. Subject expresses little interest in leaving SCP-3804-1 when properly fed, and will typically return to containment when this desire is met. Additional reinforcements should be called in at this time.
ADVANCED MEASURES
At the point typical weaponry proves insufficient in recontaining SCP-3804-2, utilization of advanced and experimental weaponry is authorized by certified military personnel. This includes the use of any and all weaponry capable of causing memetic, cellular, or psionic harm. All military personnel in the Wales-Birmingham area are to be put on high-alert and notified of ongoing containment efforts.
ALPHA PRIORITY
In the event all other containment protocol fail, recontainment of SCP-3804-2 is to be declared Alpha Priority to all Level 3 and 4 Eastern Foundation personnel. MTF Alpha-1 is to be dispatched to subject's current location, and all available efforts should be directed towards neutralization of SCP-3804-2.
To date, no advanced measures have been required in the recontainment of SCP-3804-2.

Ethics hearing regarding leaking of high-level document pertaining to SCP-3804
Date: 10/06/17 14:32:31
Member of Staff: Dr. Caleb Browning
Ethics Evaluator: Alonzo Mayer
<BEGIN LOG>
Mayer: Alright, Doctor Browning. Why don't you begin by telling me why you're here.
Dr. Browning: A Level 1 read SCP-3804's file.
Mayer: (Mayer pauses for several seconds) I couldn't help but notice you left out the part about this being entirely due to your negligence.
Dr. Browning: What do you want me to- Look, I'm sorry, okay? I left the paperwork on my desk for all of, what? Two days?
Mayer: I prefer the term 56 hours.
Dr. Browning: I wasn't trying to leak anything! That kid had no business being in my office in the first place! I didn't approve that!
Mayer: Junior Research Anthony was sent into your office by his superior to collect an item which you failed to return. Lucky for you he actually did as he was told and reported it. Which is why we're going through the trouble of wiping your memory instead of just putting a bullet in your head.
Dr. Browning: If you're just going to shoot me up with amnestics, what's the point of even talking about this?
Mayer: Amnestics are a marvel, Dr. Browning, but they're not "magical mind-erasing potions" like everyone is so led to believe. You'll forget our conversation, sure, just like you'll forget about SCP-3804-2, but it's my hope that you'll hold onto the lesson I teach you. So that in the future, you you ever are reassigned to Keters, you'll maintain that sense of secrecy dearly, even if you don't know why it's so important to you.
Dr. Browning: (Dr. Browning takes a deep breath, exhales) So what comes next?
Mayer: I don't know, that's not up to me to decide. Usually with people in your shoes we relocate them and assign them Euclid level duties while we monitor them. Most of the time you guys end up rising right back through the ranks.
Dr. Browning: … And the kid?
Mayer: Oh, he'll be fine. He's already forgotten all about the whole thing. He's at Site 22 right now pushing papers like they're the Earth and he's goddamn Atlas. He's going to do great things for the Foundation one day, watch. That one's for the record.
Dr. Browning: I need you to explain something to me.
Mayer: What's that?
Dr. Browning: That file. It was supposed to be dangerous. He shouldn't have even been able to read it without going into cardiac arrest. How did he manage to do that?
Mayer: What? You still haven't figured it out? That was all bullshit. Do you know how expensive and time-consuming it is to imprint every single high-level document with a visual cognitohazard? No. What we do is label all of them, then we tag the ones that really need it. Quality control weeds out a small few and fear and paranoia do the rest. Of course, there is the rare exception. Like Atlas over there.
Dr. Browning: I don't understand. Why even do it at all?
Mayer: Secure. Contain. Protect. That is our mission here. Always was, always will be. The SCP Foundation has a duty to protect the world from all the things it can't understand. And we at the Ethics Committee have a duty to protect the Foundation from what it doesn't understand. Do you think everyone would be okay with us throwing lives away once a week on a glorified Minotaur? Of course not. But it's what we have to do. That's the whole point of classification. It's not going to physically harm anyone to know what we're doing with 3804, but it's that blissful ignorance that keeps the wheels turning so smoothly.
Dr. Browning: So, you lie. Don't sugar coat it for me. You'll happily keep these people in the dark just to sedate them. What if someone out there can think up a way to kill this thing? What if we've been missing out on an opportunity to save people? To save the lives of all those Class D's we've slaughtered over the years? For what? Just to keep some supposed peace? What the fuck is wrong with you? If you're lying about this, what else are you keeping from us? How many hundreds of fake documents have I read without a second thought? How many monsters are out there that we don't know how to kill just because you won't tell us about them!? How is any of this protecting us!?
Mayer: (Mayer pauses for a moment. Rustling of a jacket is heard as he slides his shirt cuff to peer at his watch, then the grinding of metal on concrete as he slides his chair back and stands up) I really do hate this term, Dr. Browning, but every lie we make is for the greater good. I hope some day you'll come to see that, as I have.
Dr. Browning: You sick fucking asshole!

THIS SKIP HAS BEEN SCRAPPED
SCP-9999
Item #: SCP-9999
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-9999 is to be supplied no fewer than 180 volts of electrical current at all times delivered by 8 gauge wire. Chamber doors to SCP-9999's containment should be fitted with a magnetic locking mechanism, and must seal automatically in the event of power failure. The chamber itself should have at least one window, with no less than 50% green tint inspected and maintained on a monthly basis. SCP-9999 poses a strong visual cognitohazard, and consequently direct observation should be avoided by personnel unless required for testing or relocation.
Description: SCP-9999 is a three aspect vertical traffic light with model and construction suggesting it was created in the mid-to-late-1960's. It was recovered from the ███████ and ███████ intersection in ████████, Nebraska on 13/12/198█. Three 150-watt halogen lamps are aligned vertically along the face of the object, each behind a separate light-diffusing optic and 30 cm translucent Fresnel lense of red, yellow, or green tint. 120 volts of power are sufficient to maintain an "on" state, however the object is capable of functioning under much more intense input, and to date no voltage has been found to cause an overload or filament failure in the bulbs. Interestingly, SCP-9999's luminescent output will not increase beyond normal if provided with a more powerful electrical input. Further inspection of SCP-9999's hardware has proven difficult, as the object is immune to standard methods of deconstruction.
SCP-9999 displays light from the lowermost lamp when receiving power of 120 volts or greater, displaying a green hue. Light broadcast from this lense registers consistently at 540 nm, with negligible fluctuations. When unpowered, or when insufficient voltage is provided, this lamp deactivates, and light from the uppermost lamp will be displayed, broadcasting in a red hue. Testing of this light's wavelength has been inconclusive, as results vary dramatically between tests, despite there being no perceivable difference in color. To date, no known method exists for activation of the middle lamp.
SCP-9999 displays no anomalous effects in subjects observing it in its "powered" state. However, when unpowered and broadcasting a red light, subjects observing SCP-9999's light directly, even partially, will lose all motor control, and undergo immediate cessation of all lower brain function. This ultimately results in a loss of heartbeat, and brain death typically follows within 5 minutes. SCP-9999's effects will remain active until the subject either expires, loses direct line of sight with SCP-9999, or until the object is powered on. Subjects who survive this process claim to be fully cognizant during this time, and report feelings of intense stress and fear. It is unknown if this is due to an unknown anomalous effect of SCP-9999's or it is simply a natural biological response to sudden total paralysis.
It should be noted that specific criteria must be met to trigger such a response. Subjects must view SCP-9999's upper lamp either directly or in a reflection. Direct reflections fail to cause a reaction, though secondary, quaternary, and further reflections in multiples of two will trigger a response. Viewing SCP-9999 through red film has also been shown to trigger a response. Below is a list of tests which failed to trigger a response in subjects.
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 from the back - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 in a mirror - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 in a photograph - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 in a previously recorded video - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 in a live video feed - No response
Subject views powered SCP-9999 at close range, and cannot see lower lamp. Power is switched off - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 while red light is eclipsed - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 through various colors of translucent film, except red - No response
Subject views unpowered SCP-9999 while wearing SCP-714 - No response
Subject faces unpowered SCP-9999 with eyes closed - No response
Viewing of this document by Foundation personnel is limited to no more than once per month.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A high-level containment zone is to be maintained in a 500 meter radius around SCP-XXXX under the pretense of a bio-hazard threat, and no fewer than 40 armed guards are to be stationed outside the perimeter at all times. Staff directly involved in research and containment of SCP-XXXX are to be rotated monthly, and no single member may be assigned to it more than once annually. Class C amnestics may be administered at the end of rotation if staff so choose. No video-recording or photography equipment is permitted within the area under any circumstances. The redwood fence marking the containment area around SCP-XXXX should be evaluated for defects on a bi-weekly basis. Structural upgrades to the fence have been proposed, and are currently under review.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a single-story log cabin located in a wooded area roughly 2 km north of the town of ██████, Alaska. SCP-XXXX was discovered after a string of disappearances from the town prompted Mobile Task Force Psi-7 to investigate and contain it. Members of the relatively small town were administered Class A amnestics, and any lingering effects of exposure to SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties are considered negligible.
When exposed to SCP-XXXX, or a video or photograph containing part of all of it, subjects will proclaim it to be their childhood home, expressing strong feelings of nostalgia and a desire to return. Artistic renditions of SCP-XXXX do not have this effect. Subjects will attempt to travel to SCP-XXXX, even if they were not previously aware of its location. Subjects will do so by the fastest means readily available to them, pausing only for minimal rest. After arriving at SCP-XXXX, subjects express a desire to stay, even when faced with death by starvation or dehydration. To date, no efforts to forcefully remove an affected individual have been successful. If provided with food and drink, subjects will partake as normal, but will make no efforts to leave the cabin on their own to do so. It is uncertain what happens to the remains of those affected by SCP-XXXX after their passing, as subjects entering the cabin always claim it to be fully furnished but otherwise empty, unless another living subject is already present. Should one such affected individual pass while another is in the cabin, the latter will claim total ignorance of the former's existence.
Exposure to documents containing information relevant to SCP-XXXX has also been shown to trigger its effects in some cases. While initially heavily dampened, effects will gradually worsen, triggering a reaction indistinguishable from direct viewing.
Experiment Log 01:
Date: 25/04/19██
Purpose: Ascertain knowledge regarding the extent of SCP-XXXX's effects, as well as its architecture.
Lead Researcher: Dr. Mabel Veins
Subject: D-1003 "Adrian Martinez"
Procedure: Subject is taken to site containing SCP-XXXX and instructed to look over the fence and different intervals around containment. No effects are measured at this time. Subject is then given a handheld radio communication device and instructed to enter SCP-XXXX's containment. Subject walks for approximately 8 minutes before claiming to have seen his "home". Subject drops radio and begins running. Several minutes of silence are heard followed by the distant sound of a door slamming shut.
Results: SCP-XXXX's properties seem to take no time to affect the victim. SCP-XXXX probably has a door. All other results, inconclusive.
Experiment Log 02:
Date: 21/09/19██
Purpose: Direct attempt to learn about SCP-XXXX's architecture and interior.
Lead Researcher: Dr. Mabel Veins
Subject: D-450 "Eli Strauss"
Procedure: Subject is provided with a radio communication device affixed to his wrist and a 70-watt flashlight. Subject is shown what is believed to be a photograph of SCP-XXXX and immediately charges into containment zone. Subject reveals that he sees SCP-XXXX after just 45 seconds. Subject is asked to describe the exterior of the cabin. Cabin is described as "rustic but welcoming", and is constructed almost entirely from oak, with the exception of the roof shingles, which subject claims to be cedar. SCP-XXXX is reported to have 5 windows and a single front door with a peephole. No other notable features exist on SCP-XXXX's exterior. Before entering SCP-XXXX, subject is asked to describe the interior of the cabin. Subject pauses for a moment, then enters without answering. Once inside, subject remarks on the fresh smell of the interior, which is supposedly furnished with pine. Subject also claims to be able to smell his mother's cookies baking in the oven. Subject later reports a lack of any oven or kitchen. Furniture inside SCP-XXXX is comprised of the following:
- 1 King sized bed
- 1 Nightstand
- 1 Large hearth fireplace
- 1 Armchair
- 1 Bearskin rug
- 1 Dining room table
- 4 Chairs
- 82 ███████████████
D-450 remains in radio contact with staff for the following 48 hours, until radio battery fails. At several points, he is asked to return, subject refuses.
Results: No reported sightings of D-1003. No reports of cobwebs, rot, or any other form of deterioration affecting SCP-XXXX have been reported. SCP-XXXX's overall structure seems relatively pristine, if not somewhat unimpressive.
Experiment Log 03:
Date: 13/01/19██
Purpose: Discover extent of early stage effects, reveal posthumous location of those affected by SCP-XXXX.
Lead Researcher: Dr. Mabel Veins
Subject: D-1659 "David Hanson"
Procedure: Subject is fitted with a tracking device and provided with long-range comms device, 100 watt flashlight, 10 Liters of water, and a 14-day supply of field rations. Subject is shown a photograph of SCP-XXXX and allowed to leave Site ██, approximately 4,300 km from SCP-XXXX. Subject spent the first five days walking north, attempting several times to flag down passing cars. Subject consumed 3 Liters of water and 15% of provided rations during this time, and slept a total of 8 hours. After crossing the ████████ border, subject was successfully able to hitchhike, after the driver of a passing car claimed to be travelling to Anchorage. Little conversation can be heard between D-1659 and the driver of the car. Most of the driver's questions are met with one-word responses from D-1659, if any at all. When asked where D-1659 is going, he responds "I'm going home." //Subject again travels on foot from Anchorage to ██████ and reaches SCP-XXXX after 8 days, 16 hours, and 33 minutes of travel. Subject has rations confiscated before entering containment zone. Subject still had 4.3 Liters of water and 9 days worth of rations remaining. The proceedings are identical to those recorded in Experiment Log 02. Communication with D-1659 ceases completely after 32 hours, and she is presumed dead. Tracking device's GPS indicates that it is still in the cabin.
Results: [REDACTED]
Retrieval Log XXXX-1-b:
Date: 16/06/19██
Below is a transcript of radio communication from Agent ██████, MTF Eta-10 and one D-Class personnel, provided to aid in escort to SCP-XXXX, during attempted recovery of Dr. Mabel Veins. Agent ██████ has been fitted with vision-obstructing headgear in accordance with ɛ10.7.5 (protocol regarding visual cognitohazards) as well as standard munitions.
[BEGIN LOG]
Agent ██████: Can you pick up the pace a bit? I'd like to get out of these woods as soon as possible. It smells like shit out here.
D-1918: I could probably be more helpful if you would tell me where I'm supposed to be going.
Agent ██████: Didn't they tell you that you'd figure it out? I don't expect you to know everything but trundle along a little faster for Christ's sake. It's like you- (A loud thud can be heard, followed by brief rustling and unintelligible speech) -uck is the matter with you!? Why are you stopping now?
D-1918: I get it now. I get why you brought me here. You're taking me home. Thank you.
Agent ██████: This (unintelligible)… Alright we're doing this. Give me your arm, asshole.
Approximately 30 sounds of running is heard while D-1918 directs Agent ██████ to SCP-XXXX
Agent ██████: Are we here? Open the door. God, it smells fucking wretched.
D-1918: That's just my father's pot roast (chuckles). He never was a five-star chef but I always appreciated his attempts… I never told him that. It'll be good to see him again.
THIS SKIP IS INCOMPLETE AND HAS BEEN SCRAPPED
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-2 is contained in a standard humanoid containment cell at Site 7. Video and audio surveillance of the cell should be maintained at all times. During meal times, SCP-XXXX-2 is allowed to join site personnel in the cafeteria if desired, though normal curfew rules are still to be enforced. Additional amenities may be provided for entertainment purposes if requested, but to date, SCP-XXXX-2 has submitted no requests, claiming that they are "unnecessary".
SCP-XXXX-1 is, at the time of writing, considered uncontainable.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 appears to be a member of the species Musca domestica (common Housefly). Video recordings show it to be capable of locomotion normal to the Diptera family, however it's preferred method of transportation seems to be teleportation. SCP-XXXX-1 can teleport itself to any location, up to or exceeding 500 meters, with no considerable refractory period between instances. It is unknown if there is a limit to the distance it can travel in a single instance. Any matter SCP-XXXX-1 teleports into will be lost, though it is hypothesized that such matter may be teleported elsewhere. All attempts to affix a tracking device to SCP-XXXX-1 have failed. SCP-XXXX-1 is believed to be sentient, as it has previously expressed awareness of its environment, fondness for SCP-XXXX-2, and even violent behavior (see Incident Log 1b). It has shown aversion to being seen by site personnel, and will teleport away immediately if detected.
PER SITE 7 REGULATION, NO UNAUTHORIZED MEMBER OF STAFF IS TO ATTEMPT TO KILL A FLY SEEN ON THE PREMISES. ANY SUCH OBSERVATION SHOULD BE REPORTED TO PEST CONTROL.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a Caucasian male in his late 30's. SCP-XXXX-2 claims to have a telepathic link with SCP-XXXX-1, perceiving all stimuli that SCP-XXXX-2 perceives. This largely consists of, but is not limited to, sight and sound. While SCP-XXXX-2 has received average scores in all sensory tests, SCP-XXXX-1 is believed to have senses heightened far beyond that of even a normal human, being able to discern sounds between 5 and 50,000 Hz, as well as being able to see in total darkness. This analysis is unreliable, however, as all knowledge of SCP-XXXX-1's capabilities must be gleaned through conversation with SCP-XXXX-2. The exact extent of SCP-XXXX-2's capabilities is unknown.
SCP-XXXX-2 claims to have captured SCP-XXXX-1 at a very young age and kept it as a childhood pet. SCP-XXXX-2 refers to it as simply "The Fly", though sometimes using the term "she", and very rarely, "it". SCP-XXXX-2 claims to have a friendship with "The Fly" (see Interview Log 06), and will speak to it on occasion, whether actually in proximity to it or not. Footage shows that SCP-XXXX-1 does occasionally enter the containment chamber, and has been seen perching on XXXX-2's finger or shoulder. SCP-XXXX-2 will appear to carry out one-sided conversations with SCP-XXXX-1, often asking it questions or providing responses to unknown questions. In some of these events, SCP-XXXX-2 will say nothing at all for extended periods of time, before SCP-XXXX-1's inevitable disappearance from the chamber.
SCP-XXXX-2 submitted himself into containment at Site 7 on January █, 20██.

Interview Log 04 [REDACTED]
Below is a transcript of Interview #6 with SCP-XXXX-2, recorded on 10/██/20██, 16:33:40.
Interviewer: Dr. Milo Davies, senior research member, Site 7
<Begin Log>
Dr. Davies: Good evening SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-2: So I guess we're not using names after all.
Dr. Davies: SCP-XXXX-2 is your foundation designation, as Dr. Davies is mine. You of all… people… should understand that.
SCP-XXXX-2: Can't argue with that. So to what do I owe the pleasure, Doctor?
Dr. Davies: Well, as we've previously discussed, the incident last month which claimed the life of one of our staff was due to the actions of SCP-XXXX-1, which you have a direct connection with. Are my statements correct so far?
SCP-XXXX-2: … Yes.
Dr. Davies: You understand that you won't be punished for this, however as compensation for your extended privileges here, you have agreed to give us more information regarding your control over SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-2: I already told you, I can't control her. I can tell her what to do, sure, but I don't have any power over her.
Dr. Davies:
SCP-XXXX-2: Can't argue with that. So to what do I owe the pleasure, Doctor?
