Item #: SCP-5000

Object Class: Unclassed, temporarily assigned to Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5000 is currently contained in its original containment unit in Site-83, where a team from the Anomaly Investigation Department will constantly monitor it for any activity. SCP-5000 is to remain in Site-83 at all times.

Description: SCP-5000 is a bronze statue of a featureless human figure believed to have been created during the 17th Century. The phrase 'I am the beginning and the end' is engraved on its surface.

While SCP-5000 has no apparent anomalous effects, incidents that have occurred around it have indicated that SCP-5000 has an anomalous degree of control over the Foundation, though the full extent of control is still not known.

Due to the presence of multiple contradicting accounts about SCP-5000's true origin and nature, there is a lack of valid evidence on it. Until further information on SCP-5000 can be recovered, it will be classified as an 'unknown anomaly'.

SCP-5000 First Investigative Report

Conducting Investigators: Dr. David Johnson (Foundation), Mr. Charles Raymond (A.I.D.)

Objective(s) of Investigation:

1. Recovery of the anomaly designated as SCP-5000.
2. Inspection of Foundation Site-73.

Background of Investigation: On 07-11-1987, Foundation Site-83 updated the Foundation database with a file regarding an anomaly designated as SCP-5000. The lack of information in the file led to its removal from the database the next day.

Since its removal, Foundation Site-83 has failed to give its usual monthly site updates or have contacted RAISA about the removal of the file.

The anomaly known as SCP-5000 is noted to be Foundation Site-83's first officially recorded anomaly since its establishment as a site.

Timeline of Investigation:

05-01-1988: The first attempt is made to contact Foundation Site-83's Director. No response is received.

06-01-1988: The second attempt is made to contact Foundation Site-83's Director. No response is received.

07-01-1988: All available files regarding Foundation Site-83 are pulled from the database. Only one file on it is found.

09-01-1988: The first expedition to investigate Foundation Site-83 and recover SCP-5000 is conducted.

Site-83 First Expedition

Expedition Participants: MTF Alpha-5 ('Site-Diggers')

Expedition Date: 9 January 1988

Expedition Log:

Alpha-5-1: Do you see anything?

Alpha-5-4: Shit ton of dust. It's almost like no one here bothered to clean or open any windows.

Alpha-5-1: Can you get a clear visual of the room?

Alpha-5-3: Stand by, switching on the lights. (Clicking) Room's empty. Tables and chairs full of dust.

Alpha-5-1: Any evidence of human activity?

Alpha-5-4: Negative. No one's been in this room for quite some time.

Alpha-5-1: Move to the next room.

Alpha-5-2: Roger. (Shuffling) We're in the next room. Inspecting the room now.

Alpha-5-3: Standby, we might have found something. (Shuffling) Shit.

Alpha-5-1: What do you see, 5-3?

Alpha-5-3: We found a picture frame, but there's no picture. It's just a generic stock photo.

Alpha-5-1: What do you mean?

Alpha-5-3: 5-1, there is something wrong. All of these rooms do not appear to have been occupied at all. There's no human activity on the site at all. It's deathly quiet.

Alpha-5-1: That doesn't make sense, 5-3. A site should normally have something. See if you can find anything else in the facility.

Alpha-5-4: Roger, standby. (Shuffling) There seems to be something, a statue in a containment unit. It seems to be the only other thing out of place.

Alpha-5-1: Might be an SCP. Standby, do not move the object first.

Alpha-5-4: Roger.

10-01-1988: First Expedition Team successfully returns with the object believed to be SCP-5000. SCP-5000 is transferred to Site-18 for further research. An email is sent to the 05 Council inquiring about Foundation Site-83.

12-01-1988: A reply to the email is received from the 05 Council official representative.

From:	05 Council Representative
To:	Anomaly Investigation Department
Subject:	Site-83
Date:	January 12th, 1988

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

As far as we know, Site-83 is one of the oldest sites in the history of the Foundation. However, from the results of the investigation that you have sent to us, we do note a discrepancy in the existence of the Site itself.

For now, you are authorised to move any anomalies from the Site to other sites. Site-83 will be placed under a temporary lockdown until further notice.

- 05 Council Representative

13-01-1988: Foundation Site-83 is placed under a temporary lockdown. Site Director John Cooper is presumed to be non-existent and removed from the official database, along with the Site-83 document.

FILE: Foundation Insubordination Incident #376 (Last Modified: 17-07-1988)

Foundation Insubordination Incident #376

Personnel Involved: 7 MTF Alpha-5 Operatives, 2 D-Class Personnel

Date of Incident: 16 July 1988

Summary of Events: At approximately 0235 hours, 2 D-Class Personnel and 3 MTF Alpha-5 Operatives accessed a secure containment chamber in Site-18 and retrieved the artefact designated as SCP-5000 without receiving valid approval from the chief researcher and the site director.

The artefact was subsequently passed to 4 other MTF Alpha-5 Operatives who transferred it to the decommissioned Site-83 in a standard Type II Transport at approximately 0735 hours.

The personnel involved were confronted about the incident, to which they responded that they had received a personal request from the Site-18 Director for the transfer, which was backed up by a subsequent word of approval from the Site Management Director, who claimed that Site-83 had been recently re-commissioned.

Both the Site-18 and the Site Management Directors have confirmed that they did not give the request or the approval, and Site-83 is confirmed to still be decommissioned as of the time of the report.

Actions Taken: All involved personnel have been placed under temporary custody. An investigation into SCP-5000 and the incident is currently being conducted as of the time of the report.

SCP-5000 Second Investigative Report

Conducting Investigators: Dr. David Johnson (Foundation), Mr. Charles Raymond (A.I.D.)

Objective(s) of Investigation:

1. In-Depth Investigation of SCP-5000's origin and nature.

Background of Investigation: On 16-07-1988, an unusual insubordination incident occurred in the Foundation involving SCP-5000 (For further reference, refer to the official incident report). During the incident, SCP-5000 was moved to the decommissioned Foundation Site-83.

Further tests conducted on SCP-5000 between January of 1988 and July of 1988 prior to the incident additionally indicate that SCP-5000 appears to have no anomalous effects.

Timeline of Investigation:

18-07-1988: The personnel involved in the insubordination incident are interrogated by A.I.D. agents. Similar to the information given in the incident report, they all claim that they had received explicit approval to transfer SCP-5000 at the time of the incident. Exploring possible link between SCP-5000 and the Foundation.

20-07-1988: All files on SCP-5000 are pulled from the Foundation Database. The earliest document found to be referencing SCP-5000 is discovered from an document written in 1952 titled 'Strange Foundation Artefacts and their Effects' by Doctor Wilfred Doe.
