Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is, at this time, unable to contain SCP-XXXX. All attempts at containment has been met with Foundation casualties and the destruction of any blockades. The Foundation has retreated to an observing role, only interfering to rescue civilians in the path of danger. Containment procedures are to be updated at any point that containment becomes feasible.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an unexplained global migration of all of the members of Formicidae, commonly known as ants. Foundation observations have led to the conclusion that all, or almost all, ants living on Earth are moving towards the point now designated SCP-XXXX-A. The ant migration groups have been unstoppable in their path to XXXX-A. The ants have shown to cooperate as a collective, disregarding any territorial tendencies in order to surmount any obstacle. Further research is required to understand why the ants have migrated, and to what significance, if any, location XXXX-A holds.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held within a Foundation issue lockbox, located in the Object Containment Wing of Site-52. Only the assigned number given to the anomaly is to be visible on the box, no other special markings are permitted. The lockbox is to be secured at all times, except when the object is to be removed for neutralization efforts. Neutralization requires Foundation authorization and the filing of a NU-10 form through Central Management at Site-52.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a large bowl, 38 centimeters in diameter. Physically, it appears to be a stainless steel colander, with smaller than average perforations in the bowl and approximately twice as many as a colander of the same size. These perforations are only visible on the inside of the bowl, and when observing from underneath the bowl shows no holes. (When the perforations are viewed, and the viewer is asked about them, each one has given the exact same response: "Nothing." It is currently hypothesized that the bowl gives off a localized memetic effect.)
The core aspect of the anomaly is evident when placing any tangible object into the bowl's threshold, defined as the space beneath the rim, and on the interior of the colander. Upon placing an object into the bowl, it will begin to disintegrate at a speed of 1.2 cubic millimeters per minute. As soon as the particulates have fallen into the perforations, they are unrecoverable. Each object that has been placed into the bowl has a remarkable effect: it will draw a specific family of organism towards it. For example, the original designation of SCP-XXXX was for a global ant migration. The content in the bowl at the time was sugar, which was the object being fed into SCP-XXXX. The ants responded to this, and as long as there was sugar in the bowl, they continued to journey to the location of the bowl. A complete list of all tests will follow below.
| Sugar |
All members of family Formicidae drawn to bowl. Event happened outside foundation control, eventually ceasing as the party responsible ran out of sugar. |
| Bluegrass |
All members of family Bovidae drawn to bowl. Testing ceased after 4 hours. |
| Earthworms |
All members of family Salmonidae drawn to bowl. Testing ceased after 2.5 hours. |
| Lake Trout |
All members of family Felidae drawn to bowl. Testing ceased after 30 minutes, due to complications with invading mountain lions. |
| Sample of SCP-440 |
Five persons begin moving towards Site-52, arriving within 3 days of the experiment. All persons were held in containment until the last person had arrived, at which point testing ceased. Study of these people discovered that none of them were human, rather only appearing human. Each was a specimen made of SCP-440, who most likely escaped during a containment breach, blending in with Foundation staff. The five persons were reintroduced into SCP-440's containment area, and remain there today. |
| Human Flesh |
According to Foundation satellites, no organized movement on Earth was recorded in the 2 hours it was kept in the bowl. The sample decayed fully, with no effects recorded until 30 days later when it was discovered that an object in the Asteroid belt had moved towards the Earth and is currently in orbit of Mars. Due to the unpredictable nature of testing SCP-XXXX, all experiments are prohibited by order of the O5 council. |

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in Site-52's employee lounge. All Foundation staff are allowed access to SCP-XXXX, provided they have another person with them. Direct supervision of XXXX will be done at all times, through four video cameras in each corner of the lounge area. There will be a surveillance guard watching the cameras at all times in 4 hour shifts. These four cameras will be that guards only focus during that shift. At any point that SCP-XXXX's effect is too strong for the person using XXXX, the surveillance guard will dispatch a floor guard to remove the user. That user will undergo a 48 hour seclusion period, in which they must remain in a room with recently used dirty dishes. Any deviation from said quarantine protocol will be met with disciplinary action upon the advisors of the quarantine. Revise this to reduce word count/ remove unnecessary fluff
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Regency brand three compartment sink, measuring 121 inches (307.34 cm). It has a handheld spray nozzle, and a centralized detergent and sanitizer distributor. From the distributor, two pipes exit, leading to the left and rightmost sinks. The left sink receives a 25/75 mixture of detergent and water, while the right sink receives 25/75 mixture of sanitizer and water. While the sink requires a water pipe installation, it does not run out of detergent or sanitizer.
The most interesting anomaly, however, is in a person's reaction to the sink.
All persons who have been seen using the sink find themselves unable to stop washing dishes. They are so entranced by the task at hand that they will ignore personal issues, such as hunger, dehydration, pain, or even needing to use the restroom. People are, however, able to continue conversations effectively, and do not appear to have their personalities modified by the sink, other than enjoying washing dishes. Site-52 administrators found the anomaly to be harmless, and instead of placing it in indefinite containment, repurposed it to solve a problem, that being dishes piling up. Every once and a while, a researcher will find themselves drawn to the sink, and complete the dishes. Once the dishes are done, however, the effect stops, and they can leave. The only danger in use is if there are simply too many dishes, where a person is unable to remove themselves, they may suffer damages from ignoring their needs. If security finds it necessary to physically remove someone from SCP-XXXX, they must undergo exposure therapy to dirty dishes. This is to avoid anyone from carrying the obsessive fixation outside of the area of effect.
Reasons for Shelving: After some criticism, I've shelved this to come back to, as the narrative arc I want to tell is escaping me. It's probably stupid to think I could write an SCP-001 proposal, but I really feel that due to the nature of the anomaly, it deserves that high pedestal. This will probably need a long time to sit and develop, again due to the niche carved out for SCP-001 proposals. REVISION: This is no longer meant to be a SCP-001 proposal.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: As of ██/██/2008, containment is no longer attempted. Due to the intangibility of SCP-XXXX, no containment procedures would be effective. Further research into SCP-XXXX is now focused on understanding the anomaly, and seeking a way to manipulate it.
Description:
Loyal to a Fault: First ever SCP, terribly written, just very bad.
To Loop a Mockingbird: Bad idea, the source wasn't as clear as I thought.
An Uncontrollable Sense: I just don't think it's gonna happen, and I don't really want it to.
