SCP-XXXX

"The traveller"

Classification: Euclid

Containment procedures:

SCP-XXXX should be kept in a lead-lined cage surrounded by reinforced concrete. Personnel are prohibited from entering the cell, unless for maintenance or testing. SCP-XXXX is to be kept in the centre of a standard reinforced lead-lined containment room. SCP-XXXX is to be surrounded by a magnetic field at all times. No less than 5 electromagnets emitting a strength of 400,000 Gauss. If the magnetic field fails, a containment breach of SCP-XXXX will occur. During a containment breach of SCP-XXXX, all members of staff are to find a safe place to hide and seek shelter. All members of staff are to report any patterns not previously recorded to the site supervisor directly.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sphere of black, shifting liquid 1m in diameter floating approximately 3m off the ground. The liquid is thick and opaque. The object has been seen to periodically pulse and shift as if it were alive. As the object shifts, it starts to become more active, sometimes changing its size and/or shape. SCP-XXXX will attempt to release a destructive concussive blast and teleport after an unknown amount of time. The blast causes some damage to its surroundings but main cause for concern is the damage can cause to brain function. The changes in brain function are thought to be permanent. It was first noted to teleport on 12.3.■■■■. When SCP-XXXX was first found and contained, an incident occurred (see incident log SCP-XXXX-ARK01 for details on impact to brain function).

When touched, SCP-XXXX appears to show the user visions of their fabled afterlife. Most testing with D-class personnel has ended up with no fatalities, but their mental health seems affected. Many have attempted suicide after contact with SCP-XXXX. After testing, 5% of D class subjects entered a conscious but vegetative state, seemingly paralyzed with the exception of the subjects' eyes and eyelids. It is theorized that these subject had committed such heinous crimes that they were not "worthy" of being shown their afterlife, though no tangible evidence exists.

Many subjects after having made contact with the object, claim that it attempted to "speak" to them using varying sounds similar to a musical score, but with random notes being played. Dr. ■■■■ suggested one of his researchers make contact with the object to try and make sense, and to see if its method of communication could be translated into a language we can understand. Testing with researchers is currently awaiting approval from site director at site ■■.

Incident log SCP-XXXX-ARK01:

According to police reports, officers were called to a town in Oklahoma after bodies were found in a nearby forest. The bodies were arranged in such a way that they seemed to orbit a central focal point. At the focal point, there seemed to be a pile of dust and some bones mixed together. The bones matched up for DNA samples of a Robert Davis. Police asked around the nearby village for the whereabouts of Mr. Davis home. Locals directed the police to his home and it was searched for evidence. It was discovered upon entry of Mr. Davis bedroom, that two bodies were lying on the bed, with their throats slit whilst in a compromising position. Also noted was the discovery of a diary in his nightstand. Within the diary were details of Mr. Davis' daily life, with a few entries in particular standing out.

Diary entry #004:

"Dear Diary, yeah that's stupid. I don't know why people write Dear diary… anyway today I went walking in the forest as I do every Thursday. But I found something. A huge black orb that spoke to me. Calling me to come close, reassuring me that it meant no harm. I was, let's just say, unnerved. Ran all the way home. That thing creeped me out, but Marlene wouldn't have believed me if I told her. Maybe I'm just going crazy."

Diary entry #006: "So I went walking on the river again. That orb was still there. Just staring at me. Black as night, but in broad daylight. Like a hole in the world. It's not natural."

Diary entry #007: "I can't stop thinking about forest. The more I think about it, the more calm I get, its like my happy place now. Marlene and me had an argument and I took a walk out by the forest. Before I knew it, I was walking up to the thing It spoke to me again today. It wanted me to touch it. To behold its glory. I hesitate to go any closer than a few trees away."

Diary entry 010: "The damn thing did what i can only describe as a "Pulse". It shifted unnaturally and impossibly, but I felt at ease. It told me to touch it again. I think I'm starting to trust it a little. It may look weird, but it doesn't look harmful. Maybe I'll have to see what it wants."

Diary entry #011: "I touched God today. And it showed me the future. My future. My farm. A huge successful farmer with a beautiful wife and an even more beautiful car. When I came back from the forest, it turns out someone wanted to get in contact with me to set up a $100,000 deal. My farm is moving up!"

Diary entry #012: "I passed Barry today. He's not doing so well. His Ma passed away last week and I think he needs a little pick me up. I might take him to see God tomorrow."

Diary entry #013: "Barry came with me today to see God. He was terrified when he saw Him. I guess God looks different than he imagined."

Diary entry #015: "Barry called me today. He wants to see God again. He asked if he could bring some friends who have been struggling. Barry seems different, he seems at ease."

Diary entry #016: "I took Barry and around 5 other people to see God today. Barry knelt down in submission as soon as he approached. The others fell to their knees, proclaiming God was real."

Diary entry #018: "We've formed a kind of group and people have been coming to me for advice. I think they see me as a leader."

Diary entry #020: "God spoke to us all today. Except he didn't call himself God. He called himself ■■■■■■. Maybe its not God. So what? He still showed Barry his Ma being happy in her afterlife."

Epsilon-6 "Village idiots" were dispatched after talk of an entity in the diary mentioned as being called "God". Epsilon 6 arrived on site to try and contain the anomaly. The following log is a detailed report on the containment attempt.

Incident log SCP-XXXX-ARK02:

Date: 12.3.■■■■

9.45am: The object was spotted by locals in a town in northern Arkansas. A man by the name of John Mostyn approached the object which began to pulse as he got closer. After discovering the large black object, Mr Mostyn contacted the local police department.

10.00am: The foundation was then alerted through deep cover agents within the town police. Containment teams were mobilised to collect the object.

11.15am: Object was successfully loaded onto transport after a brief monitoring period.

12.30pm: Object inbound to site[REDACTED]

12.45pm: Strange electrical problems with transport vehicle occurred. Radio static between vehicles in the convoy made communication problematic.

1.00pm: Seemingly without cause 2 vehicles out of the convoy flipped. Containment vehicle swerved out of the way and came to a stop.

1.01pm: A high pitched ringing could be heard for around ten seconds after which, the sides of the truck seemed to buckle and crunch with jagged metal breaking. The top of the vehicle was completely destroyed.

1.02pm: Object released a concussive blast which completely destroyed the trailer of the containment vehicle, killing the driver after which Object disappeared. Personnel who survived the blast had severe brain damage which impaired cognitive functionality.

1.10pm: Transportation failure reported to foundation.

17.53pm: Foundation notified of an object matching the description of the one found in Arkansas. Object spotted in a known highly magnetic field outside of [REDACTED].

18.13pm: Foundation staff arrived onsite at the anomaly. Preliminary site ARK01 was set up to monitor the object.

21.00pm: Readings of the object seem to match those of the surrounding magnetic field. Containment procedures drafted to include a magnetic field in both transport and in containment cell. Funding approved for transportation using a magnetic field generator in a standard issue foundation truck.
