Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Safe

Special Containment Procedures: All personnel are advised not to trust SCP-XXXX's agents under any circumstances. In the case that any one of SCP-XXXX's agents is sighted in Site-198, all personnel are to report it to the SCP-XXXX investigative team through the Site Emergency Hotline: [REDACTED].

In the report, personnel should include the location of the SCP-XXXX agent, and the name of the researcher it is stalking. Following the report, they are to closely monitor the SCP-XXXX agent for any sudden developments until operatives from MTF Epsilon-11 ('Nine-Tailed Fox') arrive on the scene to contain the SCP-XXXX agent. Should the SCP-XXXX agent or the researcher disappear from their view by that time, they are expected to recall the last action they saw the SCP-XXXX agent doing.

The Foundation no longer views SCP-XXXX as a threat following the signing of the Mutual Foundations Agreement (See Addendum XXXX-C for a excerpt of the agreement). All SCP-XXXX agents are to be warmly received by the Foundation and not to be forcibly contained by the Foundation unless their actions are found to be in violation of the MFA's terms of agreement.

Should any SCP-XXXX agent violate the MFA's terms, an inquiry is to be conducted by the Foundation on the circumstances of the violation. If the circumstances are not accepted by the Foundation, the Foundation has the right to contain the agent until a compromise can be reached.

File XXXX.1. The logo on the SCP-XXXX agent jumpsuit, and the logo of Foundation-B.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a hostile anomalous humanoid group termed 'The Site-861 Authorities'. Members of this group are commonly identified by their attire, consisting of a grey jumpsuit with an upside-down Foundation logo and the words 'Site-861 Guard' printed on it, black pants with a utility belt attached to it, and a helmet bearing noticeable similarities to the helmets worn by MTF Epsilon-11 agents. In spite of the similarities, SCP-XXXX is not affiliated with any Guard or MTF divisions in the Foundation.

SCP-XXXX agents are most commonly found at Site-198, where they are able to materialise to and dematerialise from at any point of time. Under this circumstance, containment of SCP-XXXX agents is highly difficult.

As soon as an SCP-XXXX agent materialises into the Site, it will immediately begin to stalk a random researcher for a duration of more than 12 hours. Following the conclusion of this action, the SCP-XXXX agent will approach the researcher in an isolated area, claiming to work for the Site Authorities. It would then proclaim that the researcher has broken one of the Site Rules, and as a result, the researcher is 'under arrest'. The agent will then grab the researcher and dematerialise along with the researcher approximately a minute after the proclamation.

(For a comprehensive list of SCP-XXXX's 'arrests', refer to Addendum XXXX-1.)

.
.
.

Description Update 1: SCP-XXXX agents are now confirmed to originate from Foundation-B, an alternate universe of the Foundation in which the personnel are better funded and have better technology and the sites suffer from a shortage of manpower, providing the rationale behind the arrests. (Note: These observations are based on speculation on the Foundation's part based off on interviews conducted with SCP-XXXX agents. As of now, no solid evidence has proven that Foundation-B exists.)

Addendum XXXX-A: Arrests conducted by SCP-XXXX agents¹

First Arrest

Researcher Arrested: Researcher Karl Redu

Date of Arrest: 17 July 20██, approximately 1230 hours

Location of Arrest: Sub-Level 20B, Site-198

Details: Researcher Redu was approached by an SCP-XXXX agent at approximately 1229 hours. The agent proclaimed that Redu violated Article 98 of the Foundation Handbook, and that he was under arrest.

After Redu pointed out that there was no such Handbook in the Foundation itself, the agent forcefully held on to Redu, activated a device on its utility belt, and dematerialised along with Redu at approximately 1230 hours.

End Note: Researcher Redu has since been returned to the Foundation following the signing of the MFA. Redu is currently [DATA EXPUNGED] and refuses to return back to Foundation-B.

Second Arrest

Researcher Arrested: Researcher Laura Barham

Date of Arrest: 4 September 20██, approximately 1543 hours

Location of Arrest: Sub-Level 34D, Site-198

Details: Researcher Barham was approached by 3 SCP-XXXX agents at approximately 1540 hours. The agents proclaimed that Barham violated Article 23 of the Foundation Handbook, and that she was under arrest.

As the SCP-XXXX agents advanced on Researcher Barham, Barham turned and ran towards [DATA EXPUNGED], shouting for help. In response, one of the SCP-XXXX agents pulled out a device from its utility belt and activated it, producing a flash that rendered Barham unconscious.

Following the flash, the agents forcefully held onto Barham's body and dematerialised along with her at approximately 1543 hours.

End Note: Researcher Barham has since been returned to the Foundation following the signing of the MFA. Barham is currently [DATA EXPUNGED] and refuses to speak to any personnel.

Third Arrest (First Containment Attempt)

Researcher Arrested: Researcher Marcus Leriah

Date of Arrest: 23 Feburary 20██, approximately 0031 hours

Location of Arrest: Sub-Level 14A, Site-198

Background: Prior to the arrest, Researcher Leriah was accompanied by 2 members of MTF Epsilon-11 after he reported that he was 'being stalked' by someone. Both agents had been previously briefed of the other 2 arrests.

Details: Researcher Leriah was approached by 2 SCP-XXXX agents at approximately 0025 hours. The agents proclaimed that Leriah violated Article 16 of the Foundation Handbook, and that he was under arrest.

Following the proclamation, Epsilon-11-4 warned the SCP-XXXX agents that the Foundation was protecting Leriah, and that they were to stand down immediately. At the same time, Epsilon-11-3 drew out the C-17 Humanoid Containment Cuffs and approached the SCP-XXXX agents silently.

In response, one of the SCP-XXXX agents turned around, drew out a baton-like object from its utility belt and struck Epsilon-11-3 on the head, knocking him unconscious. Subsequently, the other SCP-XXXX agent forcefully held onto both the attacking SCP-XXXX agent and Leriah, dematerialising before Epsilon-11-4 drew out his C-17 Cuffs at approximately 0031 hours.

End Note: Epsilon-11-3 suffered severe head trauma from the accident, and is currently still in a coma. Researcher Leriah has since been returned to the Foundation following the signing of the MFA. Leriah is currently [DATA EXPUNGED] and is undergoing psychological evaluation.

OPEN UNREAD EMAIL.

From:	Doctor Reese Martens
To:	Site-198 Director
Subject:	Group Formation Request
Date:	March 14th, 20██

Director,

I trust that you have heard about the recent disappearances of researchers in the Site over the past year. The mysterious disappearances mean that there's a potential uncontained anomaly in the Site itself doing this.

As such, I would like to request that an investigative team be created to counter this anomaly, with me as the leader of the team. We would investigate the disappearances, and if possible, contain it as soon as possible.

In the wake of such disappearances, a team is necessary to solve this problem. Please consider this request.

- Doctor Martens

Addendum XXXX-B: Interviews with SCP-XXXX agents

Interview Log 1

Interviewer: Doctor Reese Martens, head of the SCP-XXXX Investigative Team

Interviewed: Agent X, SCP-XXXX agent

Foreword: Agent X had been successfully contained in Site-198 following a failed attempt to arrest Researcher Reginald Keren and a subsequent failed attempt to dematerialise from the Site.

{Begin Log, 0934 hours}

RM: Who are you?

X: (Garbled Muttering)

RM: You're currently in Foundation custody right now, following your attempt to kidnap Mr. Reginald Keren from the Site. Anything you say will neither set you free, nor lower our view of you as a threat. As of now, you don't have anyone to save you. Now, I ask you again, who are you?

X: X. They call me X.

RM: Well, Mr. X, would you care to explain why you would kidnap Mr. Keren?

X: You're Foundation, aren't you?

RM: I'm afraid I cannot answer that until you answer my question.

X: We're Foundation as well, though I don't think you would have any records of us. See, we're from a different Foundation. We capture anomalies like you. We have Sites like you. But we're not exactly you.

RM: Quite interesting, but please answer the question, Mr. X.

X: What we don't have, unlike you, is manpower. While we have better technology than you, we cannot utilise it to increase our Sites' manpower. Hence, we kidnap researchers from your Foundation and force them to work for us. Satisfied?

RM: Very. The question is whether you are lying to us. How can you prove to us you're from a different Foundation?

X: Isn't the logo on my jumpsuit already enough proof?

RM: This only proves that you're a threat to us.

X: Well, I wouldn't classify you guys as a threat, unless you attempt to threaten us. Until then, I'm not looking for a fight.

RM: We'll see about that, Mr. X. Until then, we'll be keeping a close eye on you.

{End Log, 0956 hours}

Interview Log 2

Interviewer: Doctor Reese Martens, head of the SCP-XXXX Investigative Team

Interviewed: Agent T, SCP-XXXX agent

Foreword: This interview was conducted after the signing of the MFA.

{Begin Log, 1138 hours}

RM: So, you come from an alternate version of the Foundation?

T: That's right.

RM: You've been borrowing researchers…for your work?

T: That is the gist of it, yes.

RM: All right. (Pulls out file and places it on table. T stares at it nonchalantly.) Do you know what this is?

T: I can't say I do.

RM: (Flips pages of file) These are all interviews from researchers you have borrowed from us, or I would say, 'arrested'. All of them have vehemently stated that they refuse to go back to your Foundation, and some of them appear to be scarred by it. It's gotten so bad that most of our researchers have stated that they do not wish to volunteer for the Foundation Researcher Exchange Program. What do you have to say about it?

T: Force them to volunteer then. It is clearly stated in the MFA…

RM: I don't give a [DATA EXPUNGED] what the MFA says. Something's not adding up. Why are the researchers scared of your Foundation? Why do you refuse to let us see your Foundation? And most importantly, why did you not come to us peacefully in the first place? Why did you pretend to 'arrest' researchers when you could have just come to us in peace?!

T: (calmly) We're not you, Mr. Martens. We do things differently over in our Foundation. Everyone has secrets, Mr. Martens, and we prefer to keep ours secret. That is our last word.

RM: (angrily) Since you refuse to cooperate with me, this interview is officially over.

OPEN UNREAD EMAIL.

From:	Site-198 Director
To:	Doctor Reese Martens
Subject:	Group Disbanding Notice
Date:	September 27th, 20██

Doctor Martens,

Under Article 18 of the MFA, 'Individuals from both Foundations are prohibited from creating an investigative team aimed to investigate each other's Foundations.'

As a result, I am hereby disbanding the SCP-XXXX investigative team. You will not be allowed to reform the team. This action is irreversible and cannot be revoked.

Following the disbandment, I expect you to delete the 'SCP-XXXX' file from the Foundation database in accordance to Article 19 of the MFA. Like the disbandment, this action is irreversible and cannot be revoked.

I know you understand, Doctor. Don't make this any harder for the Foundation.

- Site-198 Director

NOTE:

It's not over.

I know that Foundation-B is hiding something. The Foundation is too focused on the stupid MFA to do anything about it. But I can.

I'm reforming the Investigative Team in secret with people that I trust. Together, we will find a way to get to the Foundation-B universe and find out what they've been hiding from us.

I will find the truth. I will uncover Foundation-B's secrets.

This is not the end.
