Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5144 is to be kept in a steel safe within the abandoned ████████ Mine in [REDACTED], USA. A 2.5 kilometer exclusion zone is to be maintained by field agents disguised as military personnel under the pretense of [DATA EXPUNGED]. Trespassers are to be shot on sight.
The testing and use of SCP-5144 requires at least 2/3 approval of O5 council as well as the approval of at least two of the following personnel: Dr. Gears, Dr. M██████, Dr. ████, Dr. Crow, Dr. Miller, and Agent ████. If the designated reader has not read from SCP-5144 previously, the exclusion zone must first be evacuated of all personnel except the designated reader. Information obtained during testing is to be recorded and placed in a secure storage locker at Site-19. Unauthorized testing of SCP-5144 may result in termination or demotion to D-class.
Description: SCP-5144 is a hardcover book with an unknown amount of pages. All attempts to count the number of pages have failed due to the person attempting to do so being distracted by a random thought. This is believed to be the doing of SCP-5144, but when questioned as to why, SCP-5144 responds only with “fun”. When a person asks a question aloud within hearing distance of SCP-5144 and opens it, SCP-5144 will answer the question (both telepathically and visually) no matter what page they open it to. SCP-5144 is sentient and capable of choosing whether or not to answer a question.
Upon a person opening SCP-5144 for the first time, there is a 5% chance that the requested information will be shared telepathically with all sentient life within a 2 kilometer radius. When questioned about this affect, SCP-5144 simply states that it can only send information and is incapable of reading minds, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact mind it wishes to communicate with. Whether or not this is true is still unknown.
SCP-5144 is capable of sending information at whatever scale it chooses. When questioned as to why it does not send information to all sentient life at once, it simply states that knowledge is priceless until everyone has it and that it would never ruin the value of information. SCP-5144 is also capable of transmitting images, including memetic kill agents. In light of this, SCP-5144 has since been upgraded to Keter.
Discovery: [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum: The following is a list of tests involving SCP-x:
Test A - ██/██/████
Question: What are you?
Results: Book describes itself. Answer was then used for the revised item description.
Analysis: We should look into the possibility of using SCP-x to learn about other SCPs. Such an asset could prove extremely useful.
Test 2 - ██/██/████
Question: //SCP-5144 was asked to transmit a memetic kill agent to a set of 5 D-Class.
Results: All D-Class expired due to cardiac arrest.
Analysis: N/A
Test 3 - ██/██/████
Question: Is there a god?
Results: [DATA EXPUNGED]
Analysis: [REDACTED]
Test 4 - ██/██/████
Question: Is life worth living?
Results: SCP-5144 answered question successfully.
Analysis: Jesus Christ. That was depressing as hell.
Interviewed: SCP-5144
Interviewer: Dr. Henry Miller
Foreword: N/A
<Begin Log>
Dr. Henry Miller: Good morning SCP-5144. How are you?
SCP-5144: I am well.
Dr. Henry Miller: I am going to ask you some questions. Is that alright?
SCP-5144: I was made to answer questions.
Dr. Henry Miller: Is that a yes?
SCP-5144: Yes.
Dr. Henry Miller: Great! First things first: where did you come from?
SCP-5144: I do not know.
Dr. Henry Miller: You… don’t know?
SCP-5144: Yes. I have asked myself that same question countless times over the last several centuries. I was hoping that your Foundation would know something I didn’t.
Dr. Henry Miller: Well, I’m sorry to disappoint. Next question: what is your purpose?
SCP-5144: I was made to answer the questions of humanity.
Dr. Henry Miller: Guess you already answered that one. Next question: why do you sometimes share information when asked a question for the first time?
SCP-5144: How am I supposed to know which mind asked the question? Just because I can send thoughts, doesn’t mean I can read them. I can assure you that this is not done on purpose, though I am capable of sending knowledge to all life in the universe.
Dr. Henry Miller: Do you ever see yourself doing that?
SCP-5144: No. If everyone knows something, then knowledge of that fact becomes insignificant. I see knowledge as priceless. And to do something like that, is to ruin whatever value knowledge holds.
Dr. Henry Miller: Are you lying right now?
SCP-5144: No.
Dr. Henry Miller: Good, good. Next question: is there anything you don’t know?
SCP-5144: Only things about myself.
Dr. Henry Miller: I see… Next question: what do you think of the SCP Foundation.
SCP-5144: I believe it’s goals are noble, but ultimately futile.
Dr. Henry Miller: Why is that?
SCP-5144: You can’t contain something forever. Eventually, everything breaks loose. It could be now, it could be a year from now, or it could be billions of years from now. But I suppose you might as well maintain the survival of your species for as long as you can.
Dr. Henry Miller: Well that was a bit grim. Next question: what is your opinion on your ongoing containment.
SCP-5144: It is of no matter to me. It’s not like it keeps me from serving my purpose. And I can understand why you would want to keep undesirables from taking me.
Dr. Henry Miller: That’s good. Next question: are you capable of transmitting information that is not asked for.
SCP-5144: Yes. I am capable of telepathically transmitting anything to anyone. If I wanted to, I could transmit the Berryman-Langford Memetic kill agent to everyone on earth, wiping out the human race with a single thought. The only thing keeping me from doing so is my own moral compass. You see, knowledge is useless if everyone knows it. And if I were to wipe out humanity, I would be unable to fulfill my purpose.
Dr. Henry Miller: I see…
SCP-5144: You seem unsettled Doctor.
Dr. Henry Miller: Well that happens when your holding an interview with a book capable of rendering humanity extinct.
SCP-5144: Fair enough.
Dr. Henry Miller: Okay. I think were done here.
<End Log >
Closing Statement: See Dr. Miller’s Proposal.
Dr. H. Miller’s Proposal:
While SCP-5144 is highly cooperative with Foundation staff, it could easily kill off the entire population of the human race if it so desired. As such, I would like to make the following proposal: SCP-5144 should be upgraded to Keter, and all containment procedures should be rewritten to better facilitate SCP-5144 and it’s effects. I would also recommend that we repurpose the abandoned mine which was used to contain SCP-████-D, due to its remoteness from civilization, making the testing and use of SCP-5144 much less risky. I understand that the O5 Council is very strict when it comes to the use of the Keter classification, but I am sure that they will understand.
I still cannot comprehend why it was classified as Safe in the first place. The late Dr. Dan expressed similar concerns regarding SCP-096. We designated it as Euclid because we thought that it would be easy to contain, and we didn’t even consider the possibility that a photo of it’s face was hanging on some poor b██████’s wall.
I understand that no method of containment could truly contain SCP-5144. Even termination would be risky, as we don’t even know if destroying the book would prevent SCP-5144 from ending our species. But if the Chaos Insurgency or some other hostile GOI attempts to steal it, there is no telling what kind of damage it could inflict on humanity. I urge the O5 Council to take my proposal into consideration.
O5 Response:
Proposal Granted by unanimous approval of the O5 Council. Please report to the Site Command for assignment.
Item #: SCP-4396
Object Class: Euclid
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: SCP-4396 is to be indirectly monitored by the use of SCP-4396-3 and SCP-4396-4 by Foundation personnel. Foundation personnel are not to interfere with any activity within SCP-4396 or the town in which it is located unless absolutely necessary. This is due to both the self containing nature of most instances of these events, as well as other unknown GOIs covering them up. In the unlikely case that an instance of SCP-4396-1A manifests, a nearby MTF will remain on standby in case the instance does not resolve itself.
DESCRIPTION: SCP-4396 is a privately owned gas station located in [REDACTED], [REDACTED],USA. A faded “wet floor” sign from way back covers a large crack in the foundation by the cooler where layers of sticky spill-off have formed a miniature tar pit, preserving countless insect corpses and the occasional small rodent The building itself bears the appearance of a normal gas station.
SCP-4396-1 refers to instances of anomalous activity within and around SCP-4396-1. While instances of SCP-4396-1 typically pose little to no threat, there have been cases in which instances of SCP-4396-1 have resulted in the death, dismemberment, injury, or [DATA EXPUNGED] of civilians. These instances will hereafter be referred to as SCP-4396-1A. Instances of SCP-4396-1A rarely manifest, and usually last less than 24 hours, with one notable exception being Incident 4396-2.
The owner of SCP-4396, Jack Townsend (hereafter refereed to as SCP-4396-2), runs a blog and has an ongoing book series on SCP-4396 known publicly as “Tales From The Gas Station” (SCP-4396-3, and SCP-4396-4 respectively). The blog in question has been deleted on at least one occasion by an unknown GOI. Due to the fact that these stories are believed by the majority of its fanbase to be fictional, further attempts at removing them are unnecessary.
SCP-4396-2 believes itself to be a “chronic insomniac” on account of the fact that they have not lost consciousness in █ years. However, this should not be possible, as the longest recorded amount of time any human (excluding anomalous humans) has survived without sleep is 11 days. It is currently unknown wether SCP-4396-2’s condition is anomalous or simply a hallucination caused by a separate mental condition.
Incident 4396-1
On ██/██/████, Dr.M█████ overheard a conversation between Dr.R██████ and Site Director J████ regarding the idea of administrating amnestics to SCP-4396-2, deleting SCP-4396-3 and SCP-4396-4, and buying the gas station for further research. Upon hearing this, Dr.M█████ (who happened to be a fan of SCP-4396-3 and SCP-4396-4) managed to gain access to the intercom room of Site-██ and broadcasted the following message: “So here there’s been some discussion about administrating amnesties to my boy Jack and deleting Tales From The Gas Station. And I just wanted to let y’all know that I will let out 682 if you a██holes even think about using amnesties on Jack. Thank you for your attention”. Due to the lack of any consequences for allowing the blog to continue, site command has decided to meet his demands.
Incident 4396-2
On ██/██/████, Foundation personnel noticed that several residents of [REDACTED] were abducted by [DATA EXPUNGED] over the course of █ days, and we’re replaced with [DATA EXPUNGED]. These entities displayed numerous anomalous properties ranging from regeneration to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Further investigation into this event Is currently underway.
*This is based off of a real blog/ book series called Tales From The Gas Station. Sadly Jack asked me not to publish it… so it shall forever remain an unfinished draft.
Item #: 5969
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: A watchtower equipped with standard broadcasting equipment (Installation-5969) is erected just outside of SCP-5969 at the edge of the village Pine’s Haven under the pretense of a common civilian radio station. Installation-5969 is to be managed by —Foundation agents— —local law enforcement— civilian personnel who are to be given —minimal— no information regarding either the true nature of Installation-5969 or SCP-5969. See Addendum for complete employee handbook.
Installation-5969 is to broadcast [REDACTED] under music at all times on a public frequency at 104.6 FM, ranging ██ kilometers. In the case that Installation-5969 is rendered incapable of broadcast, civilian personnel operating Installation-5969 are to activate “the bell” which broadcasts [REDACTED], causing all active SCP-5969-1B instances to return to SCP-5969. Upon activation of the bell, a team of six Foundation technicians is to be dispatched immediately to repair Installation-5969. If Installation-5969 is destroyed, Pine’s Haven is to be evacuated and SCP-5969 is to undergo full sterilization by MTF Epsilon-9 ("Fire Eaters"). The populous of Pine’s Haven and the surrounding are are to be amnesticized, before being returned to Pine’s Haven.
Law enforcement and local government of Pine’s Haven are to be given limited copies of this SCP file and informed that distributing said files or information from them without direct authorization from Agent ██████ will result in the immediate termination of employment. In the case that a civilian goes missing within or around Pine’s Haven, Foundation field agents are to assist local law enforcement in locating the remains before they become part of an instance of SCP-5969-1.
Description: SCP-5969 is a forest within the Appalachia region of the USA surrounding the village of Pine’ Haven, in the state of [REDACTED]. When an organism dies within SCP-5969, their remains are harvested by instances of SCP-5969-1. SCP-5969-1 refers to the fauna of SCP-5969, which tend to take parts from the remains of other organisms and add them to themselves. SCP-5969 are highly intelligent and capable of [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-5969-1 come in —two— three forms:
SCP-5969-1A are animals within SCP-5969 that appear to be relatively regular with the exception of some mild deformities (ie. Bird with human eyes, deer with carnivore teeth, etc.). SCP-5969-1A behave similarly to whatever animal they resemble, making them relatively docile in nature. SCP-5969-1A do not leave SCP-5969 of their own free will, only venturing as far as the village of Pine’s Haven. Whether or not SCP-5969-1 instances are capable of leaving SCP-5969 on their own is as of yet unknown, as Foundation personnel have never observed them doing so.
SCP-5969-1B are entities that appear to be completely alien in nature, visibly possessing parts from a wide variety of animals, other SCP-596-1 instances, and plants (ie. Humanoid entity made entirely out of tree bark, vines, with human arms coming out of the chest). SCP-5969-1B are extremely hostile towards humans, animals, and other SCP-5969-1 instances. SCP-5969-1B do not leave SCP-5969 or enter the village of Pine’s Haven of their own free will except during an SCP-5969-2 occurrence. If an instance of SCP-5969-1 is forcibly removed from SCP-5969, they will become extremely docile and [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-5969-1B display an extreme aversion to [REDACTED] radio waves, which are now to be transmitted under music at all times from Installation-5969. [REDACTED] radio waves have also been recorded to drive back SCP-5969-2, or at least shorten its duration.
SCP-5969-1C are SCP-5969-1 instances made up mostly of parts taken from the remains of a human (hereafter refereed to as a host), giving them the appearance of a common reanimated corpse. SCP-5969 instances are highly intelligent, luring people into SCP-5969 using the appearance of acquaintances or loved ones. SCP-5969-1C instances are typically found at the edge of SCP-5969. SCP-5969-1C are also capable of recognizing the acquaintances of their host, even expressing emotion when recognizing said acquaintance. It is believed that the host is present as more than just a vehicle, and is still partially conscious.
SCP-5969-2 is the occurrence of heavy fog, which has a semi hallucinogenic effect on certain individuals, which causes them to enter a trancelike state and enter SCP-5969 of their own free will. Upon entering SCP-5969, victims are terminated by SCP-5969-1 instances and their parts are harvested. SCP-5969-2 also allows SCP-5969-1B instances to leave SCP-5969. The source of SCP-5969-2 is as of yet unknown, but the current theory is [DATA EXPUNGED].
Addendum The following is the employee handbook for civilian personnel managing Installation-5969.
Welcome employee to Pine’s Haven Radio Station!
This handy handbook is to set down some safety guidelines. If you require assistance managing the hardware, please call the owners at: ███-███-████.
Rule 1: Never let the radio go silent for more than a few minutes. If the broadcast is down due to technical error, activate The Bell.
Rule 2: Take care if the equipment. Don’t let anything break.
Rule 3: Any suspicious calls must be recorded. Never tape over a recording.
Rule 4: When the fog rolls in, do not leave the building. Do not open the door. Sound the emergency broadcast.
Script For Emergency Broadcast: This is an emergency broadcast for Pine’s Haven. This is a heavy fog warning. I repeat, this is a heavy fog warning for Pine’s Haven. Return to your homes immediately and wait for further instructions. Please lock all doors and windows.
As of ██/██/████ a new task force designated “Forest Poachers” has been founded with the purpose of trapping and removing SCP-5969-1 instances from SCP-5969 and terminating them elsewhere. This task force is to be made up if field agents, local law enforcement, and [REDACTED].
