Special Containment Procedures:
Foundation efforts on identifying SCP-XXXX's origins and ways of manifestation is still ongoing. Reported instances should be monitored and registered to the Foundation's personal database. Instructions on how to handle and manage SCP-XXXX carefully, should be added at programs intended to teach civillians on how to handle beneficial anomalies. Unwanted, but functioning instances can be brought to Foundation custody for research purposes, under the discretion of the individual/s involved. If no observable parties were involved, personnels are free to acquire said SCP-XXXX instance
(Note: Kindly refer to SCP-XXXX's archived containment procedures, for reference of it's physical containment and handling)
Due to SCP-XXXX's proven pseudo-therapeutical capabilities, the Ethics Committee have allowed authorized interactions with it, as long they've written separate permission forms for both two SCP-XXXX's Level 3 senior researchers, and on-site psychologist. Camera feeds of the room where the interaction would be held shouldn't be monitored by any personnel during the whole interaction, though it should still be on to record any valuable information.
When not in use, SCP-XXXX-1 to -13 should be held in their individual standard Safe-class containment lockers, in a separate exclusion zone at Storage Bay M3, at Site-75. The separate exclusion zone, should be 3 meters away from any human activity, to prevent unauthorized interaction during its time of activation. Interactions with SCP-XXXX-1 to -13 should only be held at the subject's on-work quarters, and should never be brought outside under normal circumstances. Personnels caught violating this rule should be reprimanded according to the resulting action's severity.
Personnels are required to have a 3-week session with their on-site psychologists, 1 month prior to their interaction, to prevent major dependency issues and outburst towards the SCP-XXXX instance (See Test/Interaction Log D-7224). When interacting, personnels are advised to be polite and natural, and to log the conversation they had with SCP-XXXX-A. It should then be submitted to SCP-XXXX's research staff, to acquire any important information. Personnels were also advised to acquire any valuable information about SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A's origin, in a manner that will go naturally with the conversation. Further testing should be done by Level 2 researchers, with authorization from a Level 3 senior.
All reported instances of SCP-XXXX should immediately be confiscated by select operatives from MTF Psi-8 ("The Silencers"), and standard censorship and amnesticization protocols should be done for unaffilated parties involved.
Description:
SCP-XXXX-13 at Agent Grouo's on-site quarters
SCP-XXXX refers to a collection of thirteen (13) various antique radios made during the 1940s, hereby designated SCP-XXXX-1 to -13 . Subjects bear no discernible branding, except for a hyper-realistic logo of a black butterfly branded at their back1. Despite their age and outdated functions, they have anomalously regained a high quality functionality (See Addendum.XXXX-01-B)2.

SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous function won't manifest until 3:00 am to 6:00 am; Local Time. When a human is within its 2 meter radius, SCP-XXXX will anomalously activate itself, and set its channel to 2. A voice, which is hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-A, claiming to be the subject's deceased grandmother, will emanate within a nearby distance, instead of the radio. Deactivating the radio at this point have been proven ineffective, since subjects have reported that it's controls have been rendered stuck at it's current settings, and that it can't be adjusted. The voices vary in each logs3, with factors of closeness considered to be its basis. Subject describes the audio quality to be similar to that of voice produced by an actual person, and that it can also speak with their native tongue.
Instrumental background music of varying classical and orchestral instrumental composition, can be heard accompanying SCP-XXXX-A. Subjects describes it to have the audio quality similar to that of modern speakers, and has a soothing, relaxing effect. Unlike SCP-XXXX-A however, the music will normally emanate within the radio. When multiple subjects and SCP-XXXX instances itself are within their own areas of effect, it's functions won't activate and will remain silent instead. It will only activate once the other subjects and instances leave, leaving only one on the place, or are rendered incapacitated.
SCP-XXXX-A has an innate knowledge of subject's history and current life, and would usually engaged the subject in a friendly conversation. When SCP-XXXX-A sense that the subject hasn't eaten yet or is feeling down at that moment, a consumption of any kind will instantaneously manifest outside the subject's line of sight, which is hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B's won't manifest if another individual/s is within viewing distance, even through indirect viewing, such as monitoring surveillance cameras. Subjects then have a sudden urge to consume the SCP-XXXX-B instance, which they described as the comfort food made by their grandmothers who they have close relationship with. With them regarding it as the most delectable consumption they've ever eaten within the past few months.
Once the subject finishes SCP-XXXX-B, the container it manifest with, along the residue the subject has produced while eating SCP-XXXX-B, will instateneously disappear. This time, it doesn't seem to mindwhether a subject is within the line of sight. Attempts on tracking and recording the containers back to its origin have been ineffective. SCP-XXXX-A will then ask the subject if they have any problems dealing with currently, and will try to help by providing possible solutions and advises. The conversation may continue until its time limit, or when SCP-XXXX-A concluded that the subject is finally satisfied.
SCP-XXXX-A will politely say goodbye before SCP-XXXX turns off, in which its control appeared to be controllable once again. All attempts at contacting SCP-XXXX-A again at this point have been fruitless, and that it can only be used again in the following day. Subjects reported to feel extremely satisfied and relaxed with their interaction with SCP-XXXX, and wishes to do it again next time. Attempts on gaining information about SCP-XXXX and it's origins have failed, since whenever SCP-XXXX-A tries to converse it, all cases have always ended in static interruptions, or has been rendered inaudible. It is currently unknown, whether this seemingly attempt on redaction is intentional, since SCP-XXXX-A instances stated that its completely unaware of it, and insisted on having no interruptions on it's other end during those events.
Specialized detectors used and produced by the Foundation have concluded that no mind-affecting anomalies or anything similar to it were involved during the interactions, and that the subjects were all acting out of their own accord. Due to the initial interactions at the time of it's acquisition, Site-75's personnel morale was observed to increased.
Addendum.XXXX-01: Initial Discovery Report
Initial Discovery:
SCP-XXXX was first brought to the Foundation's attention on March 17, 2000, through a post on the popular, paranormal-based online web forum, "Parawatch.org", by an account under the username, "S3PUL70R3R0". The user then shares his, and his family's paranormal experience with an antique radio his enthusiast wife bought two (2) weeks prior. He stated that one night, he heard his youngest going downstairs at their living room at the middle of night, talking to what he refers to be the hid deceased mother, who died 3 years prior. He also added that he saw a bowl of brownies and glass of chocolate milkshake beside his son (which is his favorite), despite not having the ingredients to make such item.
At first, his wife and two other kids dismiss this notion, but as soon as they also have experience their own personal accounts, they finally believed him. He also stated that this discovery has lead his family to have the impression that their house is haunted by a benevolent incorporeal entity. The post concluded on the statement that they've decided to keep the radio, instead of throwing it, since it had definitely helped lift up their moods.
SCP-XXXX-1's location of recovery
Addendum.XXXX-01-A: As per standard protocol, Foundation webcrawler Omega-81624 ("SHERLOCK N' LOADED) tried to pinpoint the post's location of creation, to verify its potentiality. The coordinates had lead them to a location in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. This newfound interest was subsequently followed by an small-scale investigation, and a four (4) manned team of undercover field operatives posing as real estate agents were dispatched to the location. To their surprise, the coordinates had lead them to a house, long abandoned for 16 years. Eerily enough, locals also stated that a family, similarly structured to the one described by the initial user, used to live here.
LoI-8241945's former living room
Agents entered the building to investigate. This is where they found SCP-XXXX-1, placed at one of the living room's bookshelf, showing signs of being untouched just like the rest of the building. Item was shipped to Site 75 a week later, and initially designated as Anomalous Item #8241945. Additional investigations have been conducted on the user's account, and confirmed that it was made two (2) years prior, yet having no other posts created except for the aforementioned one. Attempts on reestablishing contact with the account have failed, and pinpointing the account's location have always lead to the same location; account was placed under surveillance.
SCP-XXXX-1 upon its acquisition
A week later, the account was found to be deleted, possibly by itself. The initial thread was then deleted afterwards by Foundation undercover infiltration-bot Alpha-243240 ("INFIL-TRAITOR).
Addendum.XXXX-01-B: Rumors pertaining to SCP-XXXX instances have circulated two (2) months later. With instances being recovered at various locations throughout the globe. This locations includes stores, residences, and buildings that share the same backgrounds of currently housing antique radios of the same making and criteria as SCP-XXXX-1. Report narratives includes broadcast interruptions in still working radios, even before SCP-XXXX manifestation. Methods of manifesting are unknown, but its theorized that SCP-XXXX instances could just manifest undetectably and even turn previously non-anomalous antique radios to developed anomalous capabilities; with latter then giving them the distinct black butterfly logo. Standard retrieval and cover-up operations have been conducted. Thirteen (13) instances have been initially recovered, and many more were expected.

Addendum.XXXX-02-A: A reoccuring event has been observed throughout all the logs. Security cameras placed within the rooms where the interactions were held, have caught a single spectral entity, resembling an elderly female humanoid, each varying in appearance and clothing; manifesting between the five (5) to three (3) minute mark, before SCP-XXXX's time limit expires. The entities, now hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-C, can be seen standing still, far or near the participant's back. Participants are completely unaware of said entities's presence.
Footages have shown that some of the entities gently trying to place it's hand onto the participant's back or shoulder, similar to that of patting or comforting gesture. Participants have confirmed that each entities resembled their respective deceased grandmothers, whose voice they've also heard through SCP-XXXX-A. Some stated to feel a "cold, but warm" [sic] feeling, at the exact moment where an entity performs the aforementioned gesture.

A recent image of SCP-XXXX instances spotted on an MCD-owned auction (image taken from the social media website, "Instagram")
Currently, there are one-hundred and twenty-three (123) civillian owned instances registered and sixty-two (62) instances have been added at the Foundation's custody9 (and counting). Select SCP-XXXX instances has been distributed among sites to raise personnel morale and for further research on subject's origin and behavior. Also, due to the Foundation's own personal effort on assisting civillians on how to safely manage beneficial anomalies, most especially SCP-XXXX, public approval ratings has also increased for about seven percent (7%).
Addendum.XXXX-03-A: An excerpt taken from one of Dr. Wallace Williams's (SCP-XXXX Research Head) assigned monthly report. Submitted on December 18, 2010:
Ever since the veil broke, anomalies have finally became a common knowledge among the civillian populace. I still remember how happy those conspiracy theorists and paranormal enthusiasts back then, to finally have their assumptions proven correct and gain mainstream acknowledgement in both media and politics; it still feels like yesterday. Due to this, interest on acquiring anomalies that could benefit one's self have also became common, and SCP-XXXX is no exception to that.
Many individuals who desired to have another chance at contacting their deceased loved ones, and exploiting the former, saw this as an opportunity. SCP-XXXX was considered to as one of those "rare collectible" item in the anomalous market, since ways of recreating it hasn't been discovered yet, and SCP-XXXX's manufacturer chooses to remain anonymous even after all this years. Until such ways of recreating SCP-XXXX has been discovered, resellers are the consumers' temporary source.
As usual, we're still trying our best to identify new possible POIs and/or GOIs responsible for SCP-XXXX's production. It still surprises me actually; because even the initial suspected groups-of-interest of MCD, AWCY, and MCF doesn't know who it is (and that's saying something). Until then, we could just enjoy this anonymous goodies, which is truly nice when you think about it. 10 years have already passed, yet no observable deviation from subject's behaviour has occured (but that doesn't mean our job here is already done, my dear friends).
Suffice to say, whoever or whatever this source is, it's nice to reminisce on the fact that not all anomalies we've always encountered actively tries to kill us (just like before). And especially in this strange, new times in this ever-changing world, it certainly helps to keep our fragile sanity in check.

Special Containment Procedures:
All confirmed instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be retrieved and contained at Site-121's standard humanoid containment wing. Appropriate amnesticization and cover-up protocols are to be enacted in individuals and documents relating to their respective SCP-XXXX-B instances, respectively.
Basic amenities are to be provided to SCP-XXXX-B instances and their requests granted on a case-by-case basis and as a reward for good behavior.
Requests to test or interview SCP-XXXX-B are allowed under the approval of both SCP-XXXX's research head and the Ethics Committee.
Efforts of training SCP-XXXX-B instances to trigger their respective SCP-XXXX-A in a more controlled and clarified state are ongoing.
Containment Update Memorandum #001:
Retrieval and training of potential candidates from SCP-XXXX-B instances are now under the responsibility of MTF Tau-19 ("Lost Wanderers"). The rest of the initial containment procedures remains the same.
Description:
SCP-XXXX refers to a phenomenon where certain memories of a deceased individual are transferred through unknown means to the subconscious of a newborn individual at a random point in the past. The limit of SCP-XXXX's range is unknown, though the shortest determined case ever recorded is about 10 years, and the longest being +100,000 years into the future.
SCP-XXXX is divided into two interrelated components, namely SCP-XXXX-A and -B. SCP-XXXX-A refers to the memories transferred, and SCP-XXXX-B refers to the individual hosting SCP-XXXX-A
SCP-XXXX-A occasionally appears within their respective SCP-XXXX-B's subconscious in the forms of daydreams and dreams in the REM sleep stage in a randomized pattern. SCP-XXXX-A instances vary in clarity and extent, while recollection episodes vary in duration and frequency.10
One of the main distinctions between an SCP-XXXX-B instance and an individual under either ρ-Class Extranormal Event or β-Class Extranormal Event ("Predictive Visions") is the details of their visions.
Current efforts to intentionally induce a recollection episodes of SCP-XXXX-A instances through mnestic treatment and exposure have failed. Attempts to erase SCP-XXXX-A within their respective SCP-XXXX-B through amnestics and memetic agents have also failed.
Due to the extreme difficulty of identifying legitimate SCP-XXXX-B instances, and the apparent inability of containing the influences of SCP-XXXX-B instances in the far past, SCP-XXXX was formerly assigned the Keter classification. The extent of the influences created by antecedent variants of SCP-XXXX-B into the present and future is currently unknown.
Addendum XXXX-1: Discovery Report
Though the existence of SCP-XXXX most likely predates Foundation awarenesss, it wasn't discovered until August 16, 1980, when the late Dr. Rayne Cairns reported her experiences of vague recurring dreams to an on-site psychologist11. Dr. Cairns stated that she has been experiencing such dreams for one (1) month whenever she enters the REM sleep stage. Though at the time, it was simply dismissed as a possible non-lethal result of Dr. Cairns' exposure to multiple unrelated SCP objects in her line of work. It wasn't until June 06, 2003, when former file clerk, Head Researcher Samson Rue, notice similarities between Dr. Cairns' statements and a field report by MTF Zeta-09 ("Mole Rats").
The audio log transcript of Dr. Cairns' interview and a summarized form of the stated MTF mission report can be seen below.
Addendum XXXX-1-A: Dr. Cairn's Interview Log
Interviewed: Dr. Rayne Cairns, Safe-class object specialist
Interviewer: Dr. Graw McPhillips, on-site psychologist
Foreword: The interview was conducted at 12:07 pm, at Dr. McPhillips' office. Dr. Cairns appears to be tired and slightly distressed throughout the interview. She stated that she hadn't got adequate sleep during the time before she reported her experiences. Extraneous data omitted.
<Begin Log>
McPhillips: Thanks for checking in, Dr. Cairns. Now, without further ado, I'll start asking the usual. First off, you stated that you've been experiencing these dreams for a month. Do you still remember exactly when it began?
Cairns: Actually, Doc, I've been having these dreams since way back when I was a child. It's just now in this past few months, it became much more frequent and refined to me.
McPhillips: [Taking notes] Could you please elaborate on that?
Cairns: Usually, back then, these dreams only come up every once in a while. My guess is probably once a month or maybe even a year. It's all a blur to me now since I thought it was just insignificant back then.
McPhillips: I see. Now, could you please describe the contents of these dreams? What are the recurring patterns and themes you usually see in each iteration?
Cairns: Do you only want me to describe the dreams I am currently having? or every single one that has occurred to me and I could remember?
McPhillips: The latter, please. Start from the very beginning.
once againCairns: Alright. Back then, it was all just blurry black and white blobs and shadows in an also equally incoherent setting, from start to end. Sounds coming from them are also just gibberish mumbles. As I grow old, those weird dreams slowly became more comprehensible to me. Little by little, some of those blurry blobs and setting start to take shape and color, with the accompanying sounds also being more understandable. As it turns out, those former blobs were actually people and places. Albeit strangers to me, I feel a slight sense of familiarity from them.
And despite the often abrupt scene shifts and ongoing refinement of details, I still manage to make out a few things from them. First off, my dream avatar is a man; as I observed whenever I look into a mirror. Second of all, the technology and culture they exhibit seem to resemble ours and not at the same time, just like what I previously mentioned. It will be a pain to describe all details regarding those right now, but to it simply, it's sort of like a hit-or-miss.
It's like I am reliving, not experiencing, someone else's memory. From their most embarrassing childhood memories, up to their greatest regrets and achievements.
And you know what I found most interesting in those just recently?
McPhillips: What is it?
Cairns: Is that the climax and ending of every dream I have remains consistent throughout
<Dr. Cairns pauses for 3 seconds>
Cairns: And the Foundation is a reoccurring theme in it.
McPhillips: Really? Well, could you please specify those dreams further?
Cairns: The segments of these dreams I've had takes place in a Foundation facility just like this one, complete with all the necessary types of equipment and uniformed personnel. And just like what I previously said about reliving someone else's memories, I get to experience the day my dream character got hired, his workplace interactions and fiascos, and…
<Dr. Cairns once again pauses for 2 seconds>
Cairns: His death.
McPhillips: Could you describe it, please?
Cairns: Well, umm, according to what I am usually seeing, it consistently occurs within a dark abandoned industrial building possibly an underground complex. I am not alone though, I came along with four more people. All of us are wearing the uniform and gear used by Zeta-9. It seems like we were on an exploration of some sort, judging by our constant status report and drawing of weapons. Long story short, we've eventually encountered what seems to be what we're looking for. It's like this very tall, shadowy humanoid blur that chases us as we desperately search for the way we came in.
Needless to say, we are now panicking and desperately running for our lives. Then we realize that the reason why the entity is so keen on ending us because of something I've destroyed awhile ago. And so, we've concluded that I should stay and sacrifice myself instead. God, it was such an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. At first, I was hesitant, then accepted my fate, bid our farewells, and watched as my colleagues trail off within the corridors. I still wonder if they ever managed to escape.
As for me, I wander the place while screaming to get the creature's attention, muttering regrets too from time to time. Eventually, the creature did found me, so I ran in its direction, screaming my lungs out, in contrast to the thing's stationary silence. It engulfs me as I finally reach it, and my angered screams shifted into ones of agony as my body was twisted and crushed, judging by the sounds in the total darkness. So yeah, that's all of it.
McPhillips: That is a very detailed description, Dr. Cairns.
Cairns: Well, if you've been having these weird dreams your entire life, which has now gained more clarity in the past month, I am pretty sure you'll eventually get a good picture of it. What are even these dreams, doc? Are they supposed to be visions of the future? Or even alternate realities? How did I even get these in the first place? Has it always been a part of me? Or did an anomaly I've work on somehow overwrite my memories and place those visions in my head?
McPhillips: Whatever that is, that is now far from my area of expertise. But don't worry, immediate assistance may arrive as soon as I pass this log. Thank you for your time, Dr. Cairns. We shall meet again next week. This session is now over..
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Dr. Cairns was prescribed sleeping pills after the interview, which greatly help her in gaining back her proper sleep schedule. No cognitohazardous or memetic residue was found in Dr. Cairns' behavior pre- and post-interview, though the hypothesis of such is still prevalent in investigations up until her death.
Addendum XXXX-01-B: MTF Zeta-09 Field Report
MTF Field Report
Submitted by Jason Holter, MTF Zeta-09 I.O.
Submitted on March 06, 2003
Serial ID: 5400-KY
Mission Type: Assessment
Codename: N/A
Status: Success
Assigned Task Force: Mobile Task Force Zeta-09 ("Mole Rats")
Date: March 03, 2003
Location: Darlington, England
Purpose: To assess the alleged location of AO-0534-XXRY12and to locate said object, in order for it to be properly retrieve by a subsequent containment team.
Summary: On March 03, 2003, Fireteam Blesmol, led by Capt. Carlos Fadder (Blesmol-1), entered the abandoned house where AO-0534-XXRY is said to be located. The interior of the building transfigured into an area similar to those created by AO-0534-XXRY, confirming the eyewitnesses' reports. Operatives traverse the area for about 4 hours and 45 minutes until they've finally located AO-0534-XXRY.
Problem: Blesmol-04 (Axel Dent) unintentionally neutralized AO-0534-XXRY. Object's components broke down and turned to dust upon contact with Blesmol-04's hand. Nine (9) minutes later, an incorporeal, umbratic entity manifested and proceeded to attack Fireteam Blesmol.
Solution: After 18 minutes of running and failed attempts to locate the entrance, Fireteam Blesmol ascertained that the reason for the entity's pursuit and their failure of finding the exit is because of Blesmol-04's accidental neutralization of AO-0534-XXRY. For this reason, the group concluded that Blesmol-04 should be left out inside the building and be terminated by the entity.
Conclusion: Blesmol-04 was terminated by the entity, though it still took 18 more hours before Fireteam Blesmol successfully exited the target location. Radio contact wasn't lost and vocalizations of distress from the fireteam are prevalent during this period. On March 04, Fireteam Blesmol exited the building, appearing to be severely malnourished and has aged an additional thirty (30) years. Subject nursed back to health after two (2) weeks. AO-0534-XXRY manifested spatial anomaly ceases. Containment of AO-0534-XXRY was deemed unnecessary.
Data gathered from subsequent interviews of Dr. McPhillips to Dr. Cairns confirms the hypothesized connection between the latter and Agent Axel Dent. The data matches the descriptions of notable details in Agent Dent's life, such as persons, locations, and events. Due to these confirmations, Dr. Cairns was classified as SCP-XXXX-B-1-ARC. A complete compilation of both Dr. Cairn's interview logs and gathered information that matches certain details in Agent Dent's life is available upon request.
Agent Axel Dent was born on January 08, 1963, in Piercebridge, England. He was employed by the Foundation on July 06, 1996, as a Field Agent, due to his background of being an MI6 operative.
Addendum XXXX-2: Notable SCP-XXXX-B Instances
At the time of writing this document, there are currently 33 documented instances13 of SCP-XXXX-B, classified under SCP-XXXX-B-1 to -33, with historical instances given the additional classification of -ARC. Presented below is the list of notable cataloged cases of SCP-XXXX-B's and their SCP-XXXX-A's.

Special Containment Procedures:
Due to the widespread and already recognizable nature of SCP-009-EX, containment is deemed unnecessary. Efforts of concealing SCP-009-EX's anomalous property shouldn't be done, because SCP-009—EX is already a part of public knowledge even before gaining the Foundation's proper attention, and the extremely low risk of causing a Broken-Veil scenario due to its anomalous aspects not being that far off from regular, understood science.
Description:
SCP-009-EX
SCP-009-EX refers to the inorganic, transparent, often tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance more commonly known as water. These initial mundane descriptions can be changed if certain factors were introduced, or SCP-009-EX is used as an ingredient in such mixtures (e.g. coloring materials, flavorings, chemicals, etc. ). Its preferred primary state is liquid, though it is also capable of turning into gas when it's in the process called "evaporation", or exposed to high temperatures (212°F). SCP-009-EX can also switch into solid (ice) when exposed to low temperatures (32°F). When in its liquid state, SCP-009-EX is capable of taking the shape of its container. SCP-009-EX chemical composition consists of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms (H2O), connected by covalent bonds.
As it is with every other liquid, sound travels faster in SCP-009-EX. SCP-009-EX is also capable of both reflecting and refracting light beams, allowing visuals and optical illusions of varying quality to be observed in it. Contrary to popular belief, pure SCP-009-EX instances alone aren't a good conductor of electricity; however, if an SCP-009-EX contains charged ions and impurities, then it is capable of conducting electricity. Large bodies of SCP-009-EX can also be safely submerged into, as long as the diver is either: wearing the required safety equipment; aboard a sturdy subaquatic vessel; is capable of breathing and surviving underwater; the SCP-009-EX is uncontaminated by harmful substances; diver only proceeds in the depth level it can handle
SCP-009-EX is a vital component for all known forms of carbon-based lifeforms, despite having no calories or organic ingredients. SCP-009-EX was, and is still currently, the starting point of all carbon-based lifeforms of varying shapes and sizes, most notably ones found on Earth. In addition to that, multicellular carbon-based organisms (e.g. plants, animals, and humans) also contain a certain amount of SCP-009-EX in their internal composition that is responsible for the continued performance of their respective anatomies. Such amounts of SCP-009-EX vary depending on the organism's age, health, and well-being.
SCP-009-EX composes an approximate 71% percent of Earth's surface, with 96.5% percent of it being found in oceans. SCP-009-EX can also be found in the air as water vapors, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, and on the ground as soil moistures and in aquifers. SCP-009-EX is also a factor in reshaping landscapes, through processes such as erosions. The term used to determine this collective is called "hydrosphere", which is a combination of the Greek root words, "hydro" which means water, and "sphere" which means globe, cosmos, or space.
Additional Note: As the Foundation database's purpose is to catalog anomalies, additional and more detailed mundane information about SCP-009-EX can be seen instead in Documents 009-EX-Commons. Kindly contact your respective on-site RAISA representatives to gain access to these files.
Addendum 821-EX.001 | Regarding Potential and Genuine Anomalous Behavior:
-
- _
Awareness of SCP-009-EX's anomalies has been dated back since the 19th century, predating this file and its transition from hard copy to digital. Due to Foundation predecessors relying on less efficient and more lethal amnestics, lack of sufficient personnel and protocols enacted to counteract such spread of information, and the overall commonplace nature of SCP-009-EX, containment was deemed a failure, and SCP-009-EX is now classified as Explained.Despite being commonplace on Earth, SCP-009-EX is an alien substance that came later on after the planet was formed14. SCP-009-EX was hypothesized to have arrived alongside meteorites that have landed during this period, which are leftovers of interstellar objects such as asteroids, comets, cosmic clouds, and clouds of dusts that didn't form into planets. All current SCP-009-EX instances are also hypothesized to be the same instances from billions of years ago, due to it being passed down through various means and from different sources (e.g. evolution, consumption, species reproduction, bodily waste, decomposition, weather occurrences, natural phenomenon, etc.).
In addition to SCP-009-EX's capability to switch between all three common states of matter; it has at least 66 anomalous properties that deviate from facts currently collected about all three states in the subject of chemistry. See Addendum 009-EX.002 for a listed reference of said anomalies.

SCP-009-EX's Anomalous Properties
Note: Kindly contact the research head when additional discoveries were made, so that an update to the list may be done. Please note that the information presented herein is simply a comprehensive interpretation of the full details. Kindly contact your respective on-site RAISA representative/s to gain access to the complete document.
- SCP-009-EX atoms form a chevron-like shape with slightly negatively charged oxygen and positive hydrogens. This structure then allows SCP-009-EX to bind to and dissolve both negatively and positively charged molecules.
- The hydrogen of one SCP-009-EX molecule is attracted to the oxygen of another. Within a liquid, these attractions briefly hold the molecules together, generating the high surface tension unique to SCP-009-EX.
- The previously mentioned network is frozen when the SCP-009-EX has reached its freezing point, resulting in it leaving large gaps. The resulting solid form of SCP-009-EX then floats in its liquid form. In contrast, other chemicals form tightly packed solid crystals that are denser than the liquid and so sink.
- SCP-009-EX freezes from the top down. Unlike other freezing liquids, the density of cooling water will increase until the water’s temperature reaches 4 °C (39.2 °F). If the water continues to cool, its density will begin to increase again, and water (now in its solid-state) will expand. It is this property of water that allows ice to wedge open cracks in sidewalks and rocks and causes cans and bottles of soft drinks to explode in the freezer15.
- SCP-009-EX's primary state should have been gas, due to it being made out of two light atoms and the ambient conditions of the surface of Earth. This completely differs from the data collected from similar substances such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S)16, ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen chloride (HCl), which are all gases.
- Droplets of SCP-009-EX are known to defy gravity by clinging into another instance upwards whenever their distance to each other is deemed closed enough. This property is commonly seen in raindrops on windows.
- SCP-009-EX's adhesive reaction to another instance of itself is due to the difficulty of compressing it; the molecules attract each other and, in their natural state, tend to stay closer together than the molecules in other liquids. The harder an object is compressed, the easier it is to move it around if you apply pressure to one side of it17.
- Heated SCP-009-EX instances freeze faster than cold ones. This paradoxical anomaly is known as the "Mpemba Effect".
- SCP-009-EX is considered to be a universal solvent and one of the most reactive and corrosive chemicals, due to it being able to dissolve almost every known chemical compound to a small (but detectable) extent. This anomalous property is also responsible for the continued survival of life, due to its ability to break down required nutrients of every carbon-based lifeform and transporting them into their respective organs as fuel to perform their assigned actions.

Subject: Further Research of SCP-009-EX
Addressed to the Site Director,
I've written this proposal to ask for your permission to perform further research on SCP-009-EX, an anomaly that has garnered everyone's attention ever since its existence. I see this also as an opportunity to perform test runs on our new, experimental research device (which you might've already heard of from my division), as it will be utilized in this research as well.
I'll admit that I just based this idea on a personal hunch and I could also be possibly wasting my coworkers' time if there aren't any further anomalies at all. However, I would also like to remind ourselves that we're still men of science and reason in this ever-strange world. Throughout history, we've always tried to make sense of the unexplainable whenever we had the chance and capability to do so.
Furthermore, seeing this hundred-year-old file just sitting there without any progress about its origins, and just stacking up more and more anomalous properties instead, is something that goes against our motto and what I've just said. In addition to that, ethical dilemmas won't also be a problem in this research. After all, it's just water that will be involved anyways.
With kind regards,

Threat Level: High 21
Actions to be taken: Due to the nature of the phenomenon, the risk of public knowledge is considered low. Civilian investigations should be prevented and appropriate cover-up protocols are to be enacted accordingly. Documents gathered by said individuals should be confiscated and cataloged for possible references.
There are currently no known way to counteract said anomaly. Research regarding such matter is ongoing.
Description: P-#0XXXXOD-161 is a phenomenon affecting 0.6% of the world's high school and college student population. Specifically, the phenomenon exclusively targets undergraduate, and recently graduated alike, regardless of their overall academic performance, experience, and status (Graduated individuals have to exceed the one-year range in order not to be targeted by said phenomenon).
The phenomenon in question takes the form of fatal accidents occurring during or after an event that targeted individuals considers celebratory. Said event has to be held after what the victims' country of origin officially perceives as the end of an academic year for the phenomenon to activate. The phenomenon has a consistent 100.0% kill rate across all cases and to all victims involved.
Subsequent investigations have discovered a reoccurring pattern across cases. According to interviews conducted on victims' relatives and associates, at least one or two instances from a group of the former have reported dreaming about their current respective schools, albeit said location appearing decrepit and lacking sufficient artificial light source, a day or two before their deaths.
In the dream, subjects have reported reliving memories from their childhood up to the present upon visiting certain rooms, with the said room transfiguring to meet the setting's requirements (Memories generally lean to events associated with subjects' familial and social-academic life). Additionally, subjects report that as the dream goes on, the memories presented start to shift in what they interpret as negative experiences, with typically positive events remembered in a pessimistic perspective.
The conclusion of each dreams always ends with the subject entering their current (previous, in case of the recently graduated) respective classrooms. In this sequence, subjects report seeing their current classmates in various forms of injury, each unique depending on the dreamer. Said individuals were described to be in distress and appearing to vocalize something, though muffled.
Report: The first recorded event occurred on 17/04/19██22 in Singapore, when twenty-three (23) college graduates died in an accident en route to their resort destination. According to police reports, the bus experienced a technical malfunction and swerved out of the road, falling into a nearby drop. It was initially thought to be a mundane incident until the emergence of six (6) other accidents worldwide bearing similarities in details such as the victim's background, plans, and the previously mentioned dreams.
At the time of writing this document, there are currently thirty-three (33) recorded cases of this phenomenon.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon affecting 0.3% of the world's high school and college student population. Specifically, SCP-XXXX exclusively targets undergraduate, and recently graduated alike, regardless of their overall academic performance, experience, and social-academic status (Graduated individuals have to exceed the one-year range in order not to be targeted by said phenomenon).
SCP-XXXX takes the form of fatal accidents occurring during or after an event that targeted individuals considers celebratory. Said event has to be held after what the victims' country of origin officially perceives as the end of an academic year for the phenomenon to activate. SCP-XXXX has a consistent 100.0% kill rate across all cases and to all victims involved.
At the time of writing this document, there are currently thirty-six (36) recorded cases of this phenomenon.
Discovery Report:
The first recorded SCP-XXXX event occurred on 17/04/1999 in Singapore, when twenty-three (23) college graduates died in an accident en route to their resort destination. According to police reports, the bus experienced a technical malfunction and swerved out of the road, falling into a nearby drop. It was initially thought to be a mundane incident until the emergence of nine (9) other accidents worldwide bearing similarities in details such as the victims' background, plans, and experienced premonition events (See Addendum XXXX-01).
Addendum XXXX-01: Notable Findings
Subsequent investigations have discovered a reoccurring pattern across cases. According to interviews conducted on victims' relatives and associates, at least one or two instances from a group of the former have reported dreaming about their current respective schools. The location, however, appears to be decrepit and lacking sufficient artificial light sources, with only the night sky providing such light. Said dreams were experienced a day or two before their deaths.
In the dream, now designated as SCP-XXXX-A, subjects have reported reliving memories from their childhood up to the present upon visiting certain rooms, with the said room transfiguring to meet the setting's requirements (Memories generally lean to events associated with subjects' familial and social-academic life). Additionally, subjects report that as the dream goes on, the memories presented start to shift in what they interpret as negative experiences, with typically positive events remembered in a pessimistic perspective.
The conclusion of each dreams always ends with the subject entering their current (previous, in case of the recently graduated) respective classrooms (or houses, for homeschooled individuals). In this sequence, subjects report seeing their current classmates in various forms of injury, each unique depending on the dreamer. Said individuals were described to be in distress and appearing to vocalize something, though muffled.
Addendum XXXX-02: Interview Log
On August 18, 2005, Researcher ██████ █████ was found in a state of deep sleep within his office at Site-901. He was transferred into the on-site medical wing and monitored for eighteen (18) hours until finally awakening. Researcher Seanna Obusan was allowed to devise an impromptu interview due to her established companionship with the subject. The interview was conducted one (1) hour after the subject's awakening to ensure clarity of information.
The interview log transcript is presented below. The complete data is shown to act as a reference for █████'s mental evaluation (See Closing Statement).
Interview Log XXXX-038
Interviewed: Researcher ██████ █████
Interviewer: Researcher Seanna Obusan
Foreword: █████ is lying down on his bed while Senior Researcher Obusan sits on a stool on its left side, facing the door. █████ appears to be slightly disturbed throughout the entire interview. The dialogue was translated from Filipino to English for convenience.
<Begin Log>
<Obusan places her recorder at the table at her left, beside █████'s bed's head side, making a single thump sound. Ambiances such as the apparatuses' beepings are also audible>
Obusan: So, how are you feeling now?
<█████ is silent for three seconds, his eyes staring downwards>
Obusan: █████, are you alright?
█████: I don't even know, Ann. It's just that… Did I really fell asleep just that long?
Obusan: Yeah.
<█████ pauses for two seconds>
█████: It felt much longer than that.
<Both subjects are silent for six more seconds>
█████: I suppose you're going to ask me now about what I've just experienced while asleep.
Obusan: Certainly. By all means, go ahead. Try to keep it short and simple.
█████: Well to summarize, I saw my old high school once again after all these years. I've never liked the place nor hate it either; since much as I hate to admit it, I did gain some pretty good memories in there.
█████: It felt so weird and surreal seeing that place in that condition. I was used to seeing it accompanied by hallway footsteps, the usual chattering, and the bell ringing. In my dream, however, it looks like it aged considerably worse. It now looks like one of those creepy abandoned ones, especially at night which is in my case. Not to mention my echoing footsteps and the occasional creaking doors now being my new companions too.
█████: The sky is disturbingly clear too. Just like those you'll never get to see in the big city.
<█████ fell silent for four seconds and sighs afterward>
█████: You know, looking back to it now, that experience was actually quite… Insightful. It gave me a whole new perspective about my entire life, and that's saying something.
█████: I saw them. I felt what my grandparents certainly did during their final days. Why am I so sure? Because I saw it. I saw it, Anna, I saw it. That feeling; it's like your head is being filled with different versions of the same memories from your entire life as you wait for the inevitable. Making you wonder where did you ever go wrong or slacked into, and if those worries were truly justified.
█████: A one last, more renounced recollection of regrets, embarrassments, hates, sorrows, and love that will now be gone along with you. And as that happens, you'll now desperately try to remember every single bit of detail of your most cherished memories, so at least you could have some closure with everything in your life. Memories such as names, the relationship you have with them, and the reasons why you have such impressions of them in the first place.
█████: It may all sound perfect and heartwarming until you realize that the memories I am talking about were scattered into million, unobtainable pieces. With you only being able to acquire only the unsatisfying tidbits of their entirety, making you more desperate to complete such an impossible, final puzzle as your body slowly withers while you're still alive. You wouldn't even possibly know what you're losing until someone reminds you.
█████: I mean, I've always been aware of how boring and pathetic myself and my life were. I am aware of how unpredictable things could go when I get involved. That's why I always try to avoid heavy responsibilities as much as possible, and just… have a neutral impression on most things.
█████: Yet still, some things manage to slip since I wasn't on guard all the time. It's almost as if I was destined to be disappointed and be a disappointment all the time, and the few good memories I have are simply a case of 'Stalin's Chicken.
█████:It's like the universe is mocking me in every possible way and opportunity they can. Now I am even wondering if the bad things that happened to me are meant to happen or are simply a result of me not caring anymore. I just hope that this is just another case of the perspective, just like what they and I always drill in myself.
█████: Maybe that's why I had losers as friends too, and I don't mean in a good way.
<Obusan appears to be surprised by his statement>
█████: But not you though, you're cool.
<█████ sighs.
█████: I am sorry for ranting, not so good for the record, terribly unprofessional. You probably won't even know what I am talking about since it's very hard to describe.
Obusan: What? No, of course, I'll try to know that. You know, we could just do this at another time instead.
█████: Nah, let's finish this now. Besides, I don't want to waste time on important work.
Obusan: Are you sure?
█████: Yeah.
<█████ grabs the plastic water bottle from the table on his left side. He then takes a drink from it>
█████: Well then, where was I? Ah, right. So after that little trip down memory lane, I came across this door. Mind you, from all those years studying in that place, I never even seen that appear. It's located between my 11th Grade classroom and the nearby janitorial closet.
█████: Upon entering that room, I-
<█████ pauses for 2 seconds>
█████: I saw them too, my old classmates; my old friends.
<At this point, █████ began to sob>
█████: I haven't seen them for a very long time since high school. It just felt so nostalgic.
█████: When I saw them, they look happy and contented. We're in this some kind of banquet, with an old-timey feel to it. There's even this equally weird, muffled song playing out during the entire sequence, possibly vintage.
█████: There are many people in there, with ages ranging from that of teenagers up to the elderly. They all vary in appearance and clothing.
█████: Amidst that sea of people, I saw them there. I know their names, but their faces? I can't even recognize them. Is that even possible? Additionally, I can see that they even haven't age a day.
<█████ continues to sob for 5 seconds>
█████: I was expecting them to hate me for being late again and not being there officially. Yet still, they greeted me like an old friend. Hell, even the jerks I've known apologize to me. You know? In a way, I kinda feel jealous of them.
█████: There's this one individual, in particular, a great friend of mine. He was homeschooled, but we still keep in touch with each other like we're from the same class. We've talked about what we've been up to lately like they're actually still here.
█████: null
