Per 
Scp-XXXX
A cure for the uncommon.
Object class- Euclid (neutralized.)
Special containment procedures: Scp-XXXX is to be kept in the possession of Dr: Nathaniel Spades at all times. Other acceptable locations include Dr. Spades personal office, other trusted researchers or in some rare cases Dr. Spades own home so much as at least two O5 council members are made aware of the possibility of a containment breach.
In the event of a potential containment breach, Scp-XXXX will be removed from Dr. Spades possession and placed in a protective vault or locker somewhere in the site. Should action be taken, then no other containment procedures will be required.
It is incredibly important to remember that should Scp-XXXX need to be removed from the possession of Dr. Spades or whoever has possession of Scp-XXXX at the time, will require immediate medical attention involving an immediate blood transfusion and rehydration. We repeat, IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!
Description: Scp-XXXX is a white plastic mask of unknown origin, measuring 6 inches wide and 8 inches long and weighing half a pound. Scp-XXXX is smooth and bears no features resembling most humans. All that can be seen on Scp-XXXX are three circular holes for eyes and a mouth. The shape of Scp-XXXX when not being worn, takes the form of a crude square. Scp-XXXX has a metal pin in each of its sides that are used to hold an elastic band or any other material that can be used to hold Scp-XXXX to the wearers face.
The pins and rubber band hold no anomalous effects and can be interchanged depending on the condition of said materials at any given time.
The only thing that causes Scp-XXXX to stand out from any other masks are the words
“Now you can help others – love (Unintelligible)”
Written around the left eye hole. The final word is scratched out and unintelligible, but it can be assumed that the original transcription ended with either “Mom”, “Dad” or something to that effect.
When worn by any human or humanlike creature, Scp -XXXX will begin a process of mutation that for simpler understanding has been broken up into 5 phases as shown below.
Phase 1: When Scp-XXXX is worn, the wearer, hereby referred to as Scp-XXXX-02, will spontaneously fall to the ground and began experiencing intense muscle spasms akin to a minor seizure. During this Scp-XXXX-02 will begin to lose all moisture in the neck down at an alarming rate. After all moisture is removed Scp-XXXX-02s skin will change in hue to an almost exact replica of Scp-XXXX, hereby referred to as Scp-XXXX-01.
2. Phase 2: Scp-XXXX-02s moisture will begin traveling up their body and towards their head. As soon as it reaches the head, Scp-XXXX-01 will begin to absorb Scp-XXXX-02s moisture. This will cause Scp-XXXX-01 to begin molding and shifting till it becomes a perfect replica of Scp-XXXX-02s face in its cleanest form, meaning that any cuts, scars, blemishes, etc.will not be found anywhere on the mask. However, anything that Scp-XXXX-02 had since birth such as birthmarks, freckles or moles can still be found. The mask through all this will remain solid white in color.
3. Phase 3: Next Scp-XXXX-02s skin will begin cracking, this is made easy due to the lack of moisture in Scp-XXXX-02s body. After a moment, an estimated 47% of Scp-XXXX-02s blood will begin surfacing and travel along Scp-XXXX-02s body and cumulate over Scp-XXXX-02s shoulder, arms and hands.
4. Phase 4: It is important to remember that phase four will only affect those who already exhibit anomalous effects. If Scp-XXXX-02 has any permanent pre-existing anomalous effects than Scp-XXXX-02s blood will began heating up and burn the flesh before Scp-XXXX-01 suddenly ejects from Scp-XXXX-02s body. Anyone who has never exhibited anomalous effects will not experience phase four and will remain unharmed.
5. Phase 5: At this point Scp-XXXX-02 will stop shaking and will be able to stand up, seemingly unaffected by what just happened. Incredibly, despite losing all moisture and most of their blood, the host will remain perfectly fine and face no ill effects until Scp-XXXX-01 is removed.
In all the entire process takes about 2-3 minutes total.
From here the true effects of scp-XXXX-01 can be seen. But first it should be stated that removing Scp-XXXX-01 from Scp-XXXX-02 may only be done by Scp-XXXX-02 themselves as Scp-XXXX-01 seemingly latches onto the body and will not budge for anyone else. This rule is exempt however should Scp-XXXX-02 have been killed or expired at any point while wearing Scp-XXXX-01. Then and only at this can an outside force remove Scp-XXXX-01 from the remains of Scp-XXXX-02.
It is at this point that it is critical to remind you that Scp-XXXX-02 has had all moisture and most of its blood removed from their person and immediate medical attention will be required after removing Scp-XXXX-01.
Effects: Scp-XXXX-02 will now be able to (abuse) activate scp-XXXX-01s full effects: Scp-XXXX-01 allows the host to use two different powers, as listed below.
- We don’t use the A word here Nathaniel.
1: The main effect allows Scp-XXXX-02 to essentially render other anomalous effects inert to a certain degree. This degree has proven to be seemingly random and will occasionally just not work. This means that every single Scp could potentially react differently to the effects of Scp-XXXX-01 than another during a test.
This power will last up to a total of ten minutes once physical contact has been broken, again it varies from object to object. During this time any effects the object originally obtained are now gone, meaning the object or person in question is rendered “normal”. But again, because this point cannot be stressed enough due to the danger it poses to curious researchers, this effect has proven to not work on all scps or anomalous objects, so caution is advised.
2: While wearing Scp-XXXX-01, Scp-XXXX-02 will now gain a type of mimic effect. This allows, to a minor degree, anyone wearing Scp-XXXX-01 to replicate almost any anomalous effect. Much like the removal effect however, this mimic effect does not always work. Though it is much easier to understand why in this scenario as some anomalous effects seem too complicated for Scp-XXXX-01 to, in a way, understand.
Therefore, any and all effects that are copied must be documented as to be sure that in the event of a containment breach, we know what can and won’t be considered useful for re-containment procedures.
Recent studies have shown Scp-XXXX-01 itself to be destructible as bits of it have been broken off the edges during testing. Therefore, as of now using Scp-XXXX-01 as a defense mechanism is strictly prohibited until further notice, by order of the O5 council. However, the experimentation and documentation of effects are to continue unaffected.
Recovery: Scp-XXXX-01 was recovered on 7/03/1999 in a camp within 20 miles of Santé Fe, New Mexico. The camp was completely abandoned, and several main structures had been completely, destroyed. No signs of foul play or an internal struggle were found and it has led us to believe the previous owners destroyed the camp in order to cover their tracks as later research has borne evidence that this was at some point a front for the Global Occult Coalition (GOC). While searching through one of the buildings that hadn’t been destroyed, several objects were found. In one corner several burnt bodies were found. All were dead and unidentifiable. Among the objects Scp-XXXX-01 was found and was the only surviving object of the fire.
It is theorized that Scp-XXXX-01 was not destroyed itself because Scp-XXXX-01 being used to destroy the other Scps. This theory is supported by a single corpse found near the others which was not burnt and was missing all of its blood.
Scp-XXXX-01 was transferred to site 19 only to be later transferred to (Data redacted) within the same week. Testing was scheduled to begin within 2 weeks of its arrival, headed by Dr. Spades, however before testing could begin (Data redacted) experienced a containment breach between several Keter level Scps that were being transferred at the time. Dr. Spades was among the wounded sustaining extreme damage to his face and upper body while attempting to escape with several other researchers. Dr spades lost an eye and most of the damaged skin, thus Dr. Spades has taken to wearing Scp-XXXX-01 at almost all times as a type of “prosthetic face.”
Upon request, Doctor Spades shall continue to be referred to as such in all documentation of tests involving Scp-XXXX-01. The term Scp-XXXX-02 is a term reserved and meant for D-class personnel and other such subjects.
The following test logs have been approved by the O5 council and ethics committee. Any restricted files and test logs have been deemed unsafe for standard viewing for any personnel of level 2 or lower. More files will be released when allowed.
Test log #57.
Experiment overseen by: Doctor. Spades.
Subjects: Three Class-D personnel.
Scps involved: Scp-XXXX-01 and Scp-173
Test: Three class-D entered the containment cell of Scp-173. Upon entering one of the D-class (hereby referred to as subject 1) was handed Scp-XXXX-01 by an authorized agent. Afterwards the doors were sealed.
Subject 1 was ordered to put on Scp-XXXX-01. Afterwards subject one was ordered to quit panicking so the test may begin. Once subject 1 regained their composure, a second set of doors were opened revealing Scp-173. Subject 1 and the other D-class were ordered to maintain constant visual contact with Scp-173. The main doors were reopened, and the two D-class were ordered to quickly leave. After which the doors were once again closed leaving only Subject 1 and Scp-173.
After 2 minutes all visual feed to the test chambers were disconnected. However, audio was kept. Subject 1 was ordered to make contact with Scp-173. After Subject 1 was ordered turn around. When no sound was heard, visual feed was turned back on to show that Scp- 173 had not moved, and that Subject 1 was still alive and facing away from Scp-173. Subject one was asked what had happened to which they responded- “I don’t know! I turned around like you said but now I can’t move! What the (Data expunged) is happening to me?”
Testing was concluded and subject 1 was returned to his cell and Scp-XXXX-1 was returned to Dr. Spades.
Test results: Scp- 173 is rendered immobile for a short, and Subject can no longer move when visual contact is made, subjects skin had also become more brittle and stone like.
Addendum: Well that’s super useful… oi… how many more Scps are there…. oh…
Test #79.
Experiment overseen by: (redacted)
Subjects: Doctor Spades, agent (redacted) and junior researcher (redacted)
Scps involved: Scp-XXXX-01 and Scp-055
Test: Doctor. Spades after a lunch break with several other researchers left early to the containment unit of Scp-055. Dr. Spades entered, while wearing Scp-XXXX-01, for exactly 3 minutes and 27 seconds before running out with a look of shock on his face.
Researchers (redacted) and (redacted) began questioning Spades as to what he saw that could cause such panic.
“I saw it- I-I saw 055!”
“We have an 055?”
“No, we don’t it’s a reserved number.”
“No, you idiots I saw-
“No wait… is 055 the fork that kills you or-
(The bickering continued for 5 minutes. No useful information was found so it has been cut.)
Dr. Spades was able to eventually wrangle his colleagues so he could begin to explain his findings.
“Well you see it was- and- with a- insane!”
(It would seem the effects of Scp-055 continued to affect even our documents, thus a detailed description is still missing.)
After finishing his description, Dr. Spades colleagues looked at him with confusion. Dr. Spades sighed and began to explain again. Once again no one could understand what he was saying. Several more attempts were made to explain Scp- 055, all ending in failure and more confusion. These include writing, charades and crude sketches that are unintelligible.
After 2 hours of getting nowhere, Dr. Spades simply sighed before proclaiming-
“It’s not a sphere.”
The other researchers then asked.
“What’s not a sphere?”
Dr. Spades walked away and was not seen again for the next several hours.
Addendum: Dr. spades was later questioned once more, ten minutes into a rather infuriating conversation he was asked if he had touched 055.
“Course not… last thing I needed was to disappear from reality… even ten minutes of being forgotten is too much…”
Dr. Spades continued with his research.
Test results: What were we testing again?
Test #143.
Experiment overseen by: Dr. Spades.
Subjects: 1 D-class. Referred to as Scp-XXXX-2
Scp involved: Scp-XXXX-1 and Scp-409.
Test: A single D-class was told to enter the container holding Scp-409, before being instructed to put Scp-XXXX-1 on. Afterwards time was spent calming down the D-class as always.
After being calmed, Scp-XXXX-2 was ordered to make contact with Scp-409.
Scp-XXXX-2 complies and touched Scp-409. After which Doctor Spades left to get a coffee while the effects of Scp-409 began to take hold.
(Nothing noteworthy happens for the next three hours other than Scp-XXXX-2 became extremely agitated due to impatience. The record of this time has been removed for convenience but can be accessed via special request from the site manager.)
Dr. Spades returned after a “break” to continue observation.
Scp-XXXX-2 reported a pain in his hand and lower arm, soon after Scp-XXXX-2 began screaming in panic/pain as crystals began to form over his hand before quickly forming over the rest of his arm.
The inclusion of Scp-XXXX-1 didn’t seem to yield any positive effects, in fact, comparing footage of this test to other tests involving Scp-409, the crystals seemed to form much faster during the test involving Scp-XXXX-1 by a substantial amount.
Crystals continued to form all over Scp-XXXX-2s body before finally reaching the neck. However, before the crystals could reach the subjects neck, some unknown force ripped Scp-XXXX-1 off of Scp-XXXX-2s head, away from any crystal fragments. Scp-XXXX-2 was quickly engulfed after and terminated.
Scp-XXXX-1 was quickly retrieved before the terminated D-class blew up.
Test results: Scp-XXXX-1 did nothing to impede the crystallization process of Subject 1, investigation shows it may have made it worse.
Addendum: “can’t say I’m not surprised. The mask copies the effect of what it touches, 409 is an infection, thus even if 409 was no longer able to infect others for the short time it was inert, the subject had practically become the crystal and was doomed from the start to a very, very painful death.”
“Let’s just assume any… similar, Scps will result in very similar outcomes.”
Dr. Spades had Scp-XXXX-1 returned to him. Dr. spades began to put it on but stopped.
“Was… was this always here?”
After examination it was discovered a large crack had formed near the edge of the mask.
2nd Addendum: Request to halt all testing on other virus, infectious or memetic Scps until further notice has been approved by the O5 council.
Test #1377.
Experiment overseen by: Dr. Spades.
Subjects: Dr. Spades.
Scps involved: Scp-XXXX-1 and Scp-343.
Test: Dr. Spades entered Scp-343s room. Scp-343 welcomes Dr. Spades in and offered him a seat. Dr. Spades agreed and sat down.
“Hello 343, how are you?”
“Oh, just fine, how are you?”
“Doing well I-
“That’s wonderful! Tell me how has (redacted) been! Has he been enjoying basketball? Oh, kids his age usually love sports! I remember when you were in soccer oh how much fun you had!”
“Um could we-
“I remember when you scored your first goal! How excited you were, though granted you scored on your own goal, not a single soul cared! They were so happy for you!”
“PLEASE! I… if you can… I’d like to ask something of you.”
Scp-343 nodded.
“I know… the mask.”
Scp-343 leaned forward towards Dr. Spades.
“It’s a very nice mask… not quite sure where it came from… though I suppose it’s not doing any harm anymore.”
Dr. Spades nodded.
“Very nice indeed.”
Both were silent for some time before speaking again.
“Do you think you could handle something like that?”
Dr. Spades nodded.
“Alrighty then.”
Scp-343 reached his hand out. Dr. Spades raised his hand, he paused for a moment before firmly grasping Scp-343s han-
(Data corrupted)
-found outside site (redacted) covered in ink.
Cleanup procedures are to be carried out by D-class and overseen by Dr. Spades.
Test result: Dr. Spades gained minor reality bending abilities however, all footage or records of the event were corrupted beyond repair, apologies were issued to all affected during the… incident and Dr. Spades saw therapy for several weeks after the event.
Addendum: Dr. Spades was questioned afterwards, although it seems that he has no memory of what he did during the ten minutes he gained the godlike abilities. All accounts of the events have been mostly exaggerated. It seems the only thing people can agree on that did happen was around 7 minutes into the rampage, Dr. Spades began chanting in a dialect later identified as Hebrew. Spades later said he didn’t know Hebrew…
let’s not do that…
ever again…
Test #3783.
Experiment overseen by: N/A
Subjects: N/A
Scps involved: Scp-682.
Test:
ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL! SCP-682 HAS BROKEN CONTAINMENT!
PLEASE FOLLOW EVACUATION PROTOCOL!
CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES ARE BEING FOLLOWED!
Nathanial ran through the halls of the site while wearing the white mask that he wasn’t usually seen without.
“not again. Not again!”
Nathanial wasn’t the first person with 682 induced PTSD, but he was one of the lucky few to escape from a previous breach alive. Though not without losing some skin. Spades turned left, that hall would lead to the janitor closet, which had access to sewage, there wasn’t enough room for 682 in there, Spades could escape that way and regroup once 682 was once again “Contained.”
Nothing would’ve gone wrong, but then the hall exploded.
From the dust emerged a thoroughly enraged 682. Covered in old and new blood, it stood there for a moment as if catching its breath before charging directly at Spades.
Now credit to Spades, he ran a lot faster than maybe 682 was expecting, but it wasn’t long before Nathanial’s stomach was pierced by 682s claws and cast aside as 682 laughed and continued its rampage.
Spades sat limp against a wall, he would have been bleeding heavily, but most of his blood had already left his body when he put the mask on. Still, Spades resigned himself to his fate rather quickly, he knew the danger of working here, this was a possibility that he had always known about. He knew that it was VERY unlikely that he would escape 682 a second time.
Spades sighed one last time before shutting his eyes and preparing for whatever came next…
A minute passed, but spades was still alive, he opened his eyes and gasped.
His entire arm was covered in green and brown scales… and they were spreading. Quickly a new burning feeling took over his body as spades buckled down into a fetal position.
Cracks could be heard as Nathaniel’s bones began to rearrange and grow, the gaping wound in his chest closed up as Spades began to stand up. The burning feeling intensified, but Nathaniel still couldn’t figure out what the source was.
His arms extended and his fingers became deadly claws, his teeth sharpened into knives for cutting flesh and his body grew into a weapon of destruction.
Spades had become a monstrosity, an unholy fusion of reptile and man, keeping some physical traits and forgoing others to become a monster. As he grew the mask exploded off of his face revealing an almost skeletal head with razor sharp teeth and Bright yellow eyes!
That was it… he knew what the burning was.
RAGE.
And he wasn’t going to let this chance get away from him. Spades was a monster for the moment… and what a moment it would be.
Spades dashed through the halls with inhuman speed, he had 682s scent, it couldn’t hide. For once, it would be afraid.
It was in the courtyard near the main gate. Spades entered the courtyard through a hole in the wall that 682 had most likely made.
Spades lunged at 682, sinking his own claws into the back of 682, who roared in pain as a response. Spades didn’t flinch, rather he dug his claws deeper and picked up 682 before throwing him back inside the facility.
682 began to regain his balance, but before he could, Spades dashed forward and sunk his teeth into 682s side. Another bloodcurdling roar echoed through the halls of the site. Spades ripped out 682s flesh before plunging a claw into the open wound and ripping out more and more, quickly exposing the skeleton.
682 shifted its weight to escape Spades, it spun its tail around knocking spades back a bit. 682 took this chance to jump at Spades, slashing at his body. Blood flew from Spades as he backed up quickly. The wound already beginning to heal.
Spades charged 682 one final time, arms outstretched, he grabbed 682 by the muzzle, and shoved it onto its back. Spades raised one claw up and swiped down, tearing half of 682s face off, Removing both eyes. 682 screamed in agony, when he did this, Spades grabbed 682s bottom and lower jaw, and began pulling the two apart, 682 desperately tries to escape, doing everything it could to struggle its way out, growing more eyes, changing its size, but before anything could be done, Spades ripped the lower jaw right off of the body.
Spades bit into 682s neck, ripping out almost all the tissue and muscle, then he grabbed 682s head and neck, before tearing the rest of the head off of the bloody remains of the reptile.
He held the head in his claws before looking down to the body. It still wasn’t dead… but it wasn’t getting back up anytime soon. Spades lowered the head; with his other hand he grabbed the tail of the bloodied monster. He began dragging it back towards its containment cell.
Once there, Spades threw the head into the acid pool, he then turned around and grabbed the tail with both hands, he swung the body around and threw it into the pool of acid with a splash. The body floated for a moment before sinking into the green liquid.
Spades just stared at it for a minute before shaking his head.
“Disgusting!”
Test result: Dr. Spades was able to halt an ongoing containment breach from Scp-682 with minor casualties. However, Scp-XXXX-1 has been destroyed.
Addendum: Afterwards, Doctor Spades fell over and reverted back to his regular self, he was then taken to the infirmary and given a change of clothes. Despite everything, his body was fine, no cuts or bruises, even his blood had returned. Although Dr. Spades remarks that he had scales up his back for about 2 weeks after the event, however they are gone now.
witnesses to the fight also stated that they had been saved by what looked like a velociraptor with long arms and a human face. It’s believed that the mask was unable to fully mutate Dr. Spades before exploding from his person. And studies of blood samples from Dr. spades show a mix between human and reptilian DNA that shouldn’t be possible.
Addendum 2: “Take that you reptilian piece of (Redacted)!!! Not so hard to destroy now, are you! HARD TO TAKE THE OTHER HALF OF MY FACE WITHOUT YOURS, AINT IT!”
Test #3784.
Experiment overseen by: Dr. Spades.
Subjects: N/A
Scps involved: Scp-XXXX-1.
Test: Dr. Spades spent the next several days collecting every piece of Scp-XXXX-1. Once done, he secluded himself in his office with a box full of superglue. He spent several hours piecing Scp-XXXX-1 back together. Once done he stared at it for about an hour. Then without even trying it on Dr. Spades sighed and placed it on his desk.
“It’s not the same… it won’t work…”
Dr. Spades sat in his desk for a bit longer before picking up the mask. He returned it to the site manager before returning to his office and beginning work on something else.
Test result: Scp-XXXX-1 is neutralized.
Addendum: N/A
Addendum: a total of three thousand seven hundred and eighty-four tests were performed under Dr. spades using Scp-XXXX-1. Dr spades was asked how he felt about the destruction of Scp-XXXX-1. Dr. Spades said.
It doesn’t matter, in the end it was just a mask. But I know this… the good people here will take what I discovered, and they will put it to good use, they will find a way to make the world just a little bit safer, and in the end, I think that makes all the time I put into this experiment, mostly, worth it.”
He laughed.
“Guess I’m gonna need a new face…”
End Report.
