Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in any display case with one electronic lock and one mechanical lock when not used in testing, preferably at least twelve (12) inches by length, width, and height. All subjects affected by SCP-XXXX in the final stage must have their deaths carried out to prevent casualties involving essential personnel after incident I-XXXX-V. (See Appendum XXXX.2) Subjects are to be locked within SCP-XXXX's containment chamber to minimize personnel casualties and damage to Foundation property.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a golden ornate crown with five colored gems originating from ███████.1 SCP-XXXX’s effects only take place when placed on the head of a human subject. The subject will experience prophecies involving their own future from vague descriptions to detailed visions that appear to be pre-determined by the entity. This suggests that the object has reality-altering abilities at a small scale as all cases have been confirmed to occur, resembling every detail within visions despite all efforts to avoid the event with. Despite this, there have been five exceptions thus far all involving self-termination and appears to be the only way to divert these prophecies (See Appendum XXXX.1).
Excessive exposure to the effects can cause psychological changes, causing the subject to believe that they are the King of ███████. The subject begins acting upon their perceived nobility, but otherwise retaining the same personality, mannerisms, and memories before exposure to SCP-XXXX. After approximately one hour of exposure, the subject will gain a vision detailing the conditions of their death, which will occur within 48 hours, despite the improbability of the conditions. It should be noted that in no cases are subjects able to alter the effects at the final stage, even if they remove the crown. Subjects are unable to revert any changes SCP-XXXX has done to their memories and beliefs but have the capability to avoid their designated death prediction by method of premature termination (See Appendum XXXX.2) Amnestic use has proven to have no effect on removing memories of the visions or the belief that the victim is the King of ███████.
Appendum XXXX.1: Audio logs representing several tests conducted to explore the effects demonstrated by SCP-XXXX performed on D-73748 was recorded between ██/██/██ and ██/██/██ for the purposes of studying the effects and visions SCP-XXXX provides:
Interviewer: Dr. Grayham
Subject: D-73748
Exposure Time: Five (5) Minutes
[BEGIN LOG]
(D-73748 removes SCP-XXXX from the resting spot on their head)
Dr. Grayham: Are you finished with the crown?
D-73748: Yeah. Out of all the fucked up things I thought this would show me, it honestly wasn't even that bad.
Dr. Grayham: So it was tame? Do you care to elaborate?
D-73748: (sits as they ponder the question) Yeah. Yeah, I can talk about it. I almost didn't realize that it was a vision until I noticed the warps in it. There was a clock, right up there, going fast.
Dr. Grayham: And how far did the clock get to?D-73748: Around… Fifteen minutes? I want to say that there was an extra thirty-two or so seconds there
Dr. Grayham: Other than the time difference, is there anything else that was unique to the vision?
D-73748: Yeah. Yeah, actually, there was. There were… Three guards here, instead of the ones here now, I think. Does anyone here happen to have a birthmark on their face? A big one, around their forehead. Or another guy, he's got a mole at the corner of his mouth.
(Subject appears to be describing Senior Security Officer ████ ████ and Security Officer █████ ███████.)
Dr. Grayham: No, I do not believe anyone here goes by that description.
D-73748: Well, other than that, whatever that thing did, it didn't really do anything else. Was I supposed to see something else? You look like you were expecting more than that.
Dr. Grayham: You don't need to worry about this. You're dismissed. We'll have you back here for more testing with the object, understood?D-73748: It seems like a waste of time. Why do you need to test more with a thing that just tells you what'll happen the next time I'm here?
Dr. Grayham: That is again, none of your concern. You may leave.
(D-73748 is escorted out of the room)

Interview Statement: Subject has predicted the exposure time of the second interaction at exactly fifteen (15) minutes and thirty-two (32) seconds, and has described major facial features of security personnel who were assigned to the project after testing.
Interviewer: Dr. Grayham
Subject: D-73748
Exposure Time: Fifteen (15) Minutes and Thirty-two (32) seconds
[BEGIN LOG]
(Dr. Grayham holds a stopwatch in his hand during D-73748's second exposure to SCP-XXXX. D-73748 removes SCP-XXXX from their head and the stopwatch stops at exactly 15 minutes and 32 seconds.)
D-73748: I'm done.
Dr. Grayham: Good. Did you see anything? Any changes?
D-73748: Well, I'll be honest with you, man. (Short pause, pointing at SCP-XXXX) This thing could be a massive security risk for you.
Dr. Grayham: And how is that?
D-73748: Well, it told me where this place is. How did you get me so far?
Dr. Grayham: Excuse me?
D-73748: All the way into ███████?
Dr. Grayham: I'm sorry, but this facility is not established in that country.
D-73748: (Visibly confused) But the crown told me where I was… It's in ███████, isn't it?
Dr. Grayham: You don't seem too sure about that yourself.
D-73748: I thought I was. That can't be right, is it? Did you know it would say this?
Dr. Grayham: Yes. We did. It confuses the mind, making the one wearing it believe they are in ███████, regardless of their actual location.
D-73748: I think I get it now. (Pauses) This isn't permanent, is it?
Dr. Grayham: No, do not worry. It'll fade in a few hours, I'm sure of it.
[END LOG]
Interview Note: D-73748 has been experiencing delusions involving the location of Site-██ after the second exposure. The subject later confessed to experiencing a vision involving Security Officer ████ ██████ assaulting Class-D personnel unprovoked. Security Officer ████ ██████ has been detained after the incident and released from duty.

(D-73748 removes SCP-XXXX from their head)
Dr. Grayham: Welcome back to reality, D-73748. I believe you know the procedure by now?
D-73748: Yeah, yeah. No changes as far as I know, but the thing keeps telling me we're in ███████. Telling me? Is that the right way to say it?
Dr. Grayham: Proceed to the vision.
D-73748: Fine. All I can say is that the more I come back here, it gets weirder and weirder. Corn and peas for lunch today, the clock came back, going by one hour this time, but there was one thing that gave me the chills.
Dr. Grayham: And what is it that disturbed you?
D-73748: This weird church. I don't think it was from any religion I know about, but there were these hooded guys who seemed to think it was a gift of sorts. An artifact? I think they used it to become prophets or some shit.
Dr. Grayham: Is there anything else about this church you wish to speak about?
D-73748: No, actually. It went by pretty quick, I couldn't make out a lot of it.
Dr. Grayham: I see. That is all. You may return to your cell.
[END LOG]
Interview Note: D-73748 describes that the object appears to have been used as a divine artifact by an unidentified religious group and/or cult. Requests to investigate this group further are labeled as pending.
Interviewer: Dr. Grayham
Subject: D-73748
Exposure Time: One (1) Hour[BEGIN LOG]
(D-73748 now refuses to remove SCP-XXXX)
Dr. Grayham: D-73748. We need you to cooperate.D-73748: Cooperate? No, it's you who should be listening to me! You can't trick me anymore, and you can't keep your king locked down here like a prisoner!
Dr. Grayham: Well I- (Pauses, clearing his throat) Well, of course, my king. But we still need to know what your crown showed you. I can't speak for my colleagues if you do not cooperate.
D-73748: You think you can hurt me? You're a god damned idiot then. No one can kill me on purpose. They can try, but it won't work!
Dr. Grayham: So you believe that you cannot be killed unless it is unintentional?
D-73748: Believe? Not even believe. I know. Now let me go, or I'll have you all hanged for treason!
Dr. Grayham: I will consult my superiors about this issue. I'll get back to you as soon as we have your freedom arranged.
D-73748: Good. I'll be waiting.
(Dr. Grayham leaves the room, leaving D-73748 alone. After an hour of isolation, D-73748 begins to rage and rave, demanding to be released. D-73748 escapes the observation room through unknown means, and to fall down a flight of stairs during the escape attempt, dislocating and shattering several bones, severing the spinal cord from the chest down and damaging several areas of the brain, expiring before medical treatment could be administered.)
[END LOG]
Interviewer's Note: During the final stage, victims of SCP-XXXX experience appear to be presented a vision acting as a riddle, and their death could be doubted. Each vision appears to be a play-on-words and intentionally places the victim in a state of comfort and relief.
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX's prophecies can range from minor to major. Investigations on the cult surrounding SCP-XXXX's history have yet to be authorized.
Appendum XXXX.2: An incident involving an exposure on D-84953 during ██/██/██. An interview was conducted with D-84953 to determine the vision they have seen due to the intense panic and hysteria they have displayed during exposure.
Interviewer: Dr. Grayham
Subject: D-84953
Exposure Time: One (1) Minute and Seventeen (17) seconds
[BEGIN LOG]
(D-84953 is visibly anxious)
Dr. Grayham: D-84953. I understand that this experience has been traumatic, but you have to tell me what you saw. Every detail.
D-84953: You don't understand what I saw. It looked so real! You fuckers told me that everything this says comes true.
Dr. Grayham: We won't understand unless you talk to me. This is your only chance to-
D-84953: (Interrupting Grayham) I don't have a chance! I saw my death! Do you understand me?! I saw myself standing next to a power generator, on my way back to my cell, only to [DATA EXPUNGED]. I was terrified, do you hear me? All because I wore it for a minute!
Dr. Grayham: You saw a death prediction that quickly?
D-84953: That's what I just fucking told you, yes. I don't want to die, I really don't, but that goddamn thing said that I will!
Dr. Grayham: (Falls silent before speaking again) We can attempt to bypass it, find a way perhaps, but we have no guarantees. We'll send you back, and have you return when you have calmed down.
D-84953: Wait, my cell? You're bringing me back to my fucking cell? (Appears to grow more anxious as the guards approach) No! No, don't touch me! Get your hands off of me!
(D-84953 resists against Security Officer ██████ ████████. During the struggle, D-84953 is shot dead by Security Officer ██████ ████████ to prevent escape.)
Dr. Grayham: Damn it, you were told that under no circumstances were you to kill him! The world isn't filled to the brim with Class-D! End the tape.
[END LOG]
Interview Note: Approximately Thirty-four (34) minutes after the death of D-84953, Dr. ███████ █████ was [DATA EXPUNGED] at Sector-██ near Generator-██.
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX appears to cause anxiety and psychosis in victims even during short exposure depending on the content viewed, and can present the death of the subject prematurely.2 Predicted deaths can be prevented via premature termination at the cost of the prediction affecting another individual. No traits seem to pre-determine what individual(s) are affected.
Special Containment Procedures: All sightings of SCP-XXXX should be counteracted by a Foundation run rival circus nearby to draw all attention away from SCP-XXXX. Foundation agents are encouraged to divert attention from the events of SCP-XXXX to the rival circus in order to reduce the likelihood of casualties and disappearances caused by SCP-XXXX. No effective containment has been devised for SCP-XXXX, and all sightings should be documented under Sightings Log XXXX. Any suggestions for containment are welcome and are encouraged. Should another SCP-XXXX-B entity be created or terminated, all notable features and possible background of entity is to be recorded. All other carnivals, circuses, or similar gatherings near an SCP-XXXX manifestation is to be evacuated and discontinued immediately to discourage spread of SCP-XXXX. (See Incident Report 02/21/20.)
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a group of entities resembling a 1800s style traveling circus group referred to as “Franklin’s Freaky, Friendly Faces” and it’s attractions. Minor observation reveals this circus to be non-anomalous, displaying no unnatural behavior besides the ability to manifest in several different locations at a time, usually separated miles apart between different appearances, the ability to manifest in more than one location at once, and the creation of SCP-XXXX-B instances. SCP-XXXX is run by SCP-XXXX-A, manifesting as a circus ringleader who always refers to themselves as "Franklin," even when multiple instances of SCP-XXXX are present with multiple SCP-XXXX-A entities spread between them. SCP-XXXX-A manifests as a middle-aged caucasian man wearing a red tailcoat and stovepipe hat, and it is uncertain whether the entity is immune to aging or simple re-manifests in the same state with each new instance of SCP-XXXX's appearance. SCP-XXXX-A commonly introduces different acts within the sideshow portion of the circus, introducing the performers and oddities. The freaks of the sideshow show intelligence in most cases and claim to consciously enjoy their work at the sideshow despite how degrading it would usually be to most individuals.
An instance of SCP-XXXX-A during a performance
SCP-XXXX manifestations follow a strict schedule and process, luring in anyone in the nearby area, usually in more isolated locations such as the countryside. The manifestation begins with the circus pitching up tents, carnival games and small makeshift shacks, the materials being stored in a large wagon signifying the group’s name, and artistic depictions of the current performers being displayed. This process is completed quickly, often in the span of twelve hours. During the construction of a new SCP-XXXX instance, instances of SCP-XXXX-A often display authoritative and abusive behavior toward other entities within SCP-XXXX. When construction is finished, SCP-XXXX-A instances turn non-hostile and cheerful. Throughout the day, all instances within SCP-XXXX will take their places among the circus depending on the activities available, and will then declare their respective booths and tents open for business. At this stage, several pieces of advertisement will manifest within locations of moderate civilian traffic, causing many who view the advertisements to feel a compulsion to attend the circus, estimated to possess a rate of success at 72%. Once visitors have been drawn, SCP-XXXX will function identically to a mundane circus and will display no obvious anomalous qualities. Near the sideshow portion of the circus, a small number of individuals, usually ranging from one to three individuals, will go missing within SCP-XXXX and be converted into an instance of SCP-XXXX-B. The process of the conversion is unknown, as SCP-XXXX-B instances only reappear after the changes are completed. Each instance of SCP-XXXX-B is affected physically or mentally to resemble a skill, task or deformity common within the circus, their performances, and sideshows, the modifications, and arrangements ranging from minor to extreme effects.
Within SCP-XXXX, individuals have:
- Gained sudden affinity to extreme physical prowess. (Acrobatics, strength, endurance, etc)
- Displayed expertise in skills previously unknown to the individual
- Gained extreme flexibility
- Received a Siamese twin
- Exhibited symptoms of Microcephaly, more commonly known as pinhead syndrome
- Rapidly decreased or increased in height
- Exhibited symptoms of pachydermatocele and a currently unknown bone deformity, similar to the case of Joseph Merrick, commonly known as the Elephant Man
- Vanished with no trace
- Begun working in one of the stalls within SCP-XXXX
All SCP-XXXX-B instances have reported remembering their history perfectly, and have had no ill feelings towards their conditions or assignments. SCP-XXXX-B instances have shown conflicting opinions regarding SCP-XXXX, reactions varying between different individuals. All instances of SCP-XXXX-B that have attempted to escape from SCP-XXXX, found themselves losing their sense of direction and finding their way back to SCP-XXXX, or going missing entirely. All memory of any missing SCP-XXXX-B instances is erased from all other instances. (See Appendum A3.)
Another entity appears near SCP-XXXX in the situation that an SCP-XXXX-B instance escapes. This entity, referred to as SCP-XXXX-C, resembles an obese middle-aged man in clown makeup and attire, with elongated limbs, dark eyes, and an enlarged mouth. SCP-XXXX-C does not appear within SCP-XXXX and the location of its residence is currently unknown, as no documentation following SCP-XXXX-C has been successful, and all video and audio footage seem negatively affected by SCP-XXXX-C, which is implied to be one of the entity's abilities. SCP-XXXX-C also possesses the ability to appear exclusively to specific individuals, hiding from any other surrounding bystanders.
Addendum A1: Below is a table containing several known SCP-XXXX-B instances and their role within the circus over a span of several decades. If the identity and background of the instance have been discovered, it has been included.
| Individual Name | Effect/Role | Discovery Date |
|---|---|---|
| Nathaniel Fitzroy | Subject performs several fire-eating acts, exhibits no physical modifications other than tattoos covering the body resembling flames. | February 2nd, 1962 |
| Missy/Chloe Winchester | Subject has a conjoined twin, displays difficulty remembering the twin's existence. The added twin displays identical memory and intelligence to the original individual. | April 17th, 1984 |
| "Adam" | Subject displays symptoms of Microcephaly, memory has been affected as a result. The individual's memory is limited to their first name, simple math equations and general future events. | July 28th, 1995 |
| Shay O'Hannigan (D-92639) | Subject was planted by the Foundation to determine SCP-XXXX's anomalous traits. Appeared during the show as an acrobat, displaying expertise in the skill that had not been evident before testing. The individual was observed as lazy and lethargic before exposure to SCP-XXXX. | January 3rd, 1998 |
| Ashton Patrick | Subject displayed deformities to the arms and legs, causing unnatural joints and the lack of functioning hands, forcing the individual to traverse using four limbs. The individual displays discomfort when moving in this fashion. | March 17th, 2003 |
| Roslyn Fuller | Subject was stationed at a ring toss stand. No physical changes displayed. | September 14th, 2007 |
| Gisselle Meadows | Subject reported missing after the visit. No new instance of SCP-XXXX-B is manifested, and no existing instance is able to determine their location. | October 3rd, 2011 |
| Nixon Gallagher (D-82536) | Subject displays an extreme strength and endurance increase. Performed several "Strong-Man" acts, lifting large tables, several other individuals and several pieces of furniture. | June 27th, 2018 |
Addendum A2: Field personnel had managed to get into contact with SCP-XXXX-A and requested an interview, to which the subject had accepted. Below is a transcript of the interaction with SCP-XXXX-A.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A
Interviewer: D-83642
Foreword: Interviewed subject was asked several questions involving the history of SCP-XXXX and the reason for the "recruitment" of visitors for different tasks and performances.
<Begin Log, 17:24>
D-83642: So, I'm supposed to ask you a few questions about this place? I don't know if that's okay with you or not.
SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, yes! Yes! That is perfectly fine! I haven't talked to anyone but my own bloody freaks and performers for a lifetime!
D-83642: Oh, that's, uh, great. They're pre-written so they probably won't go too in-depth, I think. I might try to ask more about your answers too, just to spice it up a bit.
SCP-XXXX-A: Of course! Well? What are you waiting for? Spit it out!
D-83642: Yeah, yeah. I got it. Okay, so, when did you start your little circus?
SCP-XXXX-A: Ah, I remember the very day I came up with the idea. In the ripe old time of 1837. Of course, displaying odd creatures, men and women wasn't new at the time, yes. In fact, I'm sure the Bunker brothers were already at it, showing their bond! Not the emotional one either, you see? Conjoined by the sternum, the two spent years showing their rarity! Such a thing doesn't happen too often, so, of course, people flocked to see it!
D-83642: The conjoined twins inspired you?
SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, well, I wouldn't say they wholly inspired me. Trust me, I had a plan from before they even existed! I just didn't know how to put it in place.
D-83642: So you started to cause these conditions to visitors of your shows?
SCP-XXXX-A: Oh, dear me, you say that as if it was horrendous! Don't you lie to me, boy, I know it when I hear it! You think I'm a cruel man, a sadist, a slave driver! All of them, things I've heard before.
D-83642: Well, I mean, it isn't like they take part in it all willingly, right?
SCP-XXXX-A: (Pauses) Ah, well, yes, I suppose that is correct. But think of it this way, I took them from the boring, miserable reality they had toiled in and gave them a proper family, a spectacular adventure from start to finish! I provide that for them, like a father to an adoptive, newborn baby, weeping, longing for a place to belong.
D-83642: Okay. So, what about all of the sideshow members who've gone missing?
SCP-XXXX-A: Bah! Ungrateful! Ungrateful, miserable swine! They take my gifts and spit on them! I say, it's disrespectful, and it just breaks my heart to know that another has lost their way.
D-83642: They could be trying to escape, you know? Maybe they don't like it there?
SCP-XXXX-A: If they don't want my hospitality and my kind gifts, they may run off all they want. I do not wish to keep those who take what they are given for granted.
D-83642: I think I got that. One last question.
SCP-XXXX-A: Ask away, dear fellow. We're likely running out of time, and we absolutely must pack for our next show.
D-83642: Do you happen to know how you got these abilities? Or maybe how the circus can be in two different places?
SCP-XXXX-A: Ha! Well, son, that'd ruin the surprise, now would it? Maybe it was a blessing from the fates themselves! Maybe I myself am a freak in this regard. Perhaps it was always there, or the opposite. That's what the circus prides on, my dear boy; the strange, the odd. That is where my pride belongs, that fact that it's all quite strange!
D-83642: Well, that works, I guess. I'm just about done, Mister..?
SCP-XXXX-A: Ah, just call me Franklin, dear boy. Franklin Fabacher."
<End Log, 17:32>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-A is either unable or unwilling to disclose the origins of its anomalous nature and shows a bitter resentment towards escaped SCP-XXXX-B instances. The subject is also aware of the forceful nature of their abilities, excusing their actions with the gift of belonging the subject claims to give to all SCP-XXXX-B instances.
Appendum A3: An SCP-XXXX-B instance that has displayed desire to leave SCP-XXXX is discovered and cooperates with Foundation Personnel to escape and discover where escaped instances have traveled to. The following is an audio log between Foundation Personnel and an SCP-XXXX-B instance.
VIDEO LOG
DATE: August 25th, 2019
NOTE: A hidden camera was placed on an instance of SCP-XXXX-B via Class-D participant, and the instance is assisted in escape from SCP-XXXX by undercover Foundation Personnel. Camera recorded audio and visual events. Below describes all important events within the recording.
[BEGIN LOG]
04:42: The instance is fitted with the hidden camera during camp setup. D-67253 describes the escape procedure to SCP-XXXX-B instance, involving a meet-and-greet including undercover Foundation agents, in which a staged kidnapping will occur.
09:36: The instance is assigned backstage for the sideshow. SCP-XXXX-A orders the subject to practice their role, involving disappearing acts and narrowly escaping death.
14:48: SCP-XXXX-B performs their sideshow act. The instance is assigned to be placed in a box with several open slots to place blades within. When placed in the box, the subject is revealed to move back within the box, inside a compartment hidden from the audience. The next act involves escaping from a straightjacket while in an underwater tank. The straightjacket covers the camera at this time. When the instance escapes from the tank, their act is complete, and SCP-XXXX-B returns backstage.
17:12: The sideshow act enters an intermission, in which SCP-XXXX-B attends a meet-and-greet portion. Foundation agents folow SCP-XXXX-B to an isolated area and restrain SCP-XXXX-B.
17:20: SCP-XXXX-B is escorted out of SCP-XXXX by Foundation personnel through a broken chainlink fence intended to keep trespassers out. SCP-XXXX-B and the agents traverse through a nearby, forested area.
17:32: SCP-XXXX-B reports of a strange feeling of dread roughly fifteen (15) minutes after the escape, reporting hearing and seeing several movements within the surrounding fauna. Foundation agents declare they are unable to sense what SCP-XXXX-B is referring to, and audio-visual feed is unable to capture said disturbances.
18:24: SCP-XXXX-B begins expressing distress when hearing unnatural sounds originating from a currently unknown source. Agents now report their acknowledgment of the sounds at this time.
19:01: SCP-XXXX-B begins panicking, breaking into a sprint without the agents to their protest. After five minutes of running, audio becomes highly distorted, and video displays a previously unknown entity, appearing as a man resembling an obese middle-aged man in clown makeup and attire, elongated extremities and an enlarged mouth. The entity speaks, but due to video interference, speech is illegible. Video halts after the camera on SCP-XXXX-B loses functionality.
[END LOG]
Extra Notes: The camera fitted onto SCP-XXXX-B was later found in the SCP-XXXX instance an hour before SCP-XXXX's disappearance. The camera was damaged and was only capable of storage. The entity found within the log has been designated as SCP-XXXX-C. The agents reported unable to perceive SCP-XXXX-C.
Incident 02/21/20: During the process of previous containment procedures, Foundation agents pitched a rival circus forty (40) yards away from SCP-XXXX. During containment, Foundation agents had ceased contact with the remaining staff assigned to SCP-XXXX, with several changes occurring to the rival circus in rapid succession. The rival circus began exhibiting similarities to SCP-XXXX, with an instance of SCP-XXXX-A seen within. Personnel were ordered to evacuate but had already previously been converted into SCP-XXXX-B entities, claiming they had enjoyed their work at SCP-XXXX more than their career with the Foundation. At this time, the rival circus had become a secondary instance of SCP-XXXX with separate individual SCP-XXXX-A instances.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon in a constant state of movement through a form of teleportation or deconstruction and reconstruction, and thus cannot be reliably contained by the Foundation. All sightings of SCP-XXXX are to be reported to ██████████ at Site-███ immediately. Any unauthorized personnel who have witnessed an SCP-XXXX event, or have been a part of an SCP-XXXX event must be treated with Class-█ amnestics immediately.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a temporal and spatial phenomenon that appears to be both physical and metaphysical in form. Whether or not SCP-XXXX is a physical entity or a continuous anomalous event is unknown. SCP-XXXX is known for causing slight to radical changes in the area it manifests, causing an immense leak of information about the anomalous nature of the world that surrounds human civilizations. This also results in the manifestation of organisms known as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 entities are humanoid in shape with insectoid eyes and digitigrade legs. They are docile and speak an unknown language comprised of clicking and chattering. All entities brought forth by SCP-XXXX are unclassified, as they vary between every incident and appear inconsistently (See Appendum-02.) Effects that SCP-XXXX have caused on multiple occasions include the following;
- Create impossible shapes on everyday objects
- Alter images to add, remove or interchange certain objects within the affected images (People, Items, Locations, etc)
- Create pockets of distorted temporal and spatial events which have seemingly caused merged timelines and dimensions (Dystopian or Utopian counterparts to existing locations, new locations, new Anomalous species being discovered (See Appendum-01), etc)
- Displace the flow of time in the event’s range to repeat an action already performed between one (1) and ██████ (██) times. This is the least noticeable effect, the repetition occurring less often rather than more, commonly being mistaken for “Déjà vu” among the common populace
- Cause slight changes to individuals and items within the event’s range (a change in height, eye color, hair length, memories, etc)
- Manifests anomalous organisms for the duration of the event. Organisms are referred to as SCP-XXXX-1, are docile, and appear willing to cooperate with Foundation personnel. Organisms vary in appearance and behavior and should be dealt with caution during all events. (See Appendum-02)
Addendum-01: SCP-XXXX was first discovered in Canada, ███████ Ontario, in which several aspects of the town has been severely altered, containing new structures, individuals with no known history, differing historical record, and unknown technology. At ██:██ in October ██ ████, SCP-XXXX introduced a group of organisms that communicated through several clicks and chatters caused by the rapid movement of the jaw. The entities were unable to understand English or French, but was able to answer several questions using morse code by use of their clicking, including the name of their race, ██████. It is unknown how the organisms had developed the use of morse code. The organisms have been designated as SCP-XXXX-1 during the event.

SCP-XXXX-1: I am from here. But not from where we are now.
Dr. ███████: Is this not normal for your people?
SCP-XXXX-1: It is not.
Dr. ███████: Do you know what it is?
SCP-XXXX-1: Not entirely.
Dr. ███████: Can you explain?
SCP-XXXX-1: We believe it has overlapped our worlds
Dr. ███████: You believe this has altered reality?
SCP-XXXX-1: Not altered. Overlapped.
Dr. ███████: So this is not permanent?
SCP-XXXX-1: No. It has happened before.
Dr. ███████: Can you tell us when?
SCP-XXXX-1: No.
Dr. ███████: Can you tell us where it will appear again?
SCP-XXXX-1: No.
Dr. ███████: Will the area return to normal when the event concludes?
SCP-XXXX-1: Most of the time, it does.
[At this point of the interview, the event begins to end, causing several distortions and causes communication to increase in difficulty significantly]
Dr. ███████: What is happening?
SCP-XXXX-1: Th- wind-w is clos-ng.
Dr. ███████: Will you be able to contact us again?
SCP-XXXX-1: W- n-t -o-
[Communication with SCP-XXXX-1 has become impossible. SCP-XXXX-1 entities remain in a semi-corporeal state until SCP-XXXX ceases completely.]

Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-1 instances are only minorly knowledgable of SCP-XXXX. It appears that the SCP-XXXX-1 entities are investigating SCP-XXXX as well.
Addendum-02: The second major appearance of SCP-XXXX manifests in ███████, China. Another set of entities is discovered, bearing no resemblance to previous organisms. Entities are cephalopod-like organisms utilizing mechanical bodies to move. The Organisms are immediately hostile towards MTF Unit ████-██, causing a total of seven (7) casualties, with four (4) injured, two (2) killed, and one (1) missing. SCP-XXXX-1 designation is discontinued due to the inconsistency and variety of entities and organisms encountered.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained in a humanoid cell at Site-██. No biological organisms are to be allowed within SCP-XXXX-1’s chamber without express permission from three (3) Level 4 Personnel. The containment chamber can be fitted with one (1) television screen, one (1) DVD player, one (1) bathroom, one (1) bookshelf containing fictional literature. All instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be relocated to Area-██ for further testing or terminated to prevent further spread.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a human male of unknown European descent. SCP-XXXX has the anomalous capability to cause a metamorphosis of any living, biological organism it physically contacts through touch into another instance of SCP-XXXX, designated as SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 is aware of its abilities and apologizes on several occasions when an SCP-XXXX-2 instance is created. Behaviorally, SCP-XXXX-1 is considered an average adult male, with seemingly no intent on causing direct harm to others, and wishes for a cure for its abilities. It is docile, and even acts friendly towards other individuals, usually attempting to perform random acts of kindness, displaying itself as a rather altruistic individual. SCP-XXXX-1 appears to use its acts of kindness to further transform other individuals into instances of SCP-XXXX-2. It is unknown if this is calculated or impulsive. Attempts to resist any actions that may cause physical contact with SCP-XXXX-1 cause it to become irate, and constantly attempts to pursue the activity even when ordered not to. All Personnel tasked with SCP-XXXX-1’s containment should be aware that the perceived altruism is possibly a ploy to create more SCP-XXXX-2 instances. (See Appendum XXXX.1)
Addendum XXXX.1: SCP-XXXX-1 is involved with a test involving three Class-D personnel, each assigned a task. All Class-D were ordered to refuse all offers of assistance from SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 displayed normal behavior for fifteen (15) minutes and respected the boundaries of all personnel. SCP-XXXX-1 began displaying irate behavior, repeatedly offering assistance. After twenty (20) minutes of being denied, SCP-XXXX-1 forcefully moved D-67821 from their workstation and began taking over their task. D-67821 (Hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-2A) began the transformation period thirty (30) minutes after being contacted physically by SCP-XXXX-1. D-97253 have finished their tasks with only D-52617 remaining. SCP-XXXX-2A had begun exhibiting similar behaviors to SCP-XXXX-1 and offered assistance to D-52617. Thirty (30) minutes after SCP-XXXX-2’s offer, SCP-XXXX-2A had forcefully pulled D-52617 (Hereby designated as SCP-XXXX-2B) away from their task. At this time, it was unknown if SCP-XXXX-2 instances could trigger the metamorphization process in living organisms. Both SCP-XXXX-2A and SCP-XXXX-2B have completed transformation after an hour, physically and behaviorally identical to SCP-XXXX-1.
If SCP-XXXX-2 can cause organisms to transform into SCP-XXXX-2 instances as well, this doesn’t make anything less concerning. What if there are instances of SCP-XXXX-2 that we have not found yet? I’d like to formally request SCP-XXXX to be reclassified as Keter until we are sure we are in possession of all SCP-XXXX-2 instances.
- Dr. Grayham
Reclassification request has been granted. All sightings of any SCP-XXXX-2 instance is to be contained at Area-██ or terminated, effective immediately.
