Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-X is surrounded by a barbed wire fence. The perimeter of this fence is to be patrolled by at least two armed guards. Measuring equipment has been installed to record the extent of each Extraction Event.
Description: SCP-X is a large, conical radio tower located several kilometers from the village of ███████, Tyrol, Austria. The tower's interior is completely empty, save for a cylindrical steel support beam in the center. Built in 2███ as part of an infrastructure project, SCP-X was never furnished or used for its intended purpose, on account of [REDACTED] and the subsequent containment of its cellar.
The cellar of SCP-X is a massive concrete silo accessible through a collapsed section of the tower floor. The cellar's exact depth is unknown, but sonar scans indicate that it extends well into the Earth's mantle. Most of the cellar's volume is taken up by SCP-X-1.
SCP-X-1 is a blue liquid nearly identical in composition to Powerade energy drink. SCP-X-1 is chemically inert, non-toxic, and incapable of passing through the blood-brain barrier; in spite of this, subjects who ingest large amounts of the substance experience tremors and a general sense of unease. This effect is intensified by proximity to SCP-X.
Every 36 hours, SCP-X undergoes an Extraction Event. The steel beam in the center of SCP-X extends into the sky to a height of ██ meters. Once the pillar is fully extended, SCP-X-1 slowly "bleeds" from the cellar's interior walls in short, regular spurts. This process continues until ~███ liters of SCP-X-1 have been added to the silo - an increase in depth of about █ cm.
Eyewitnesses to Extraction Events claim that the beam encounters some resistance about halfway into its ascent - as if it is penetrating a thick veil or hide.
Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
put it in a box. don't look at it outside of tests.
Description:
it's a thing. it applies force to your body to prevent people or machines from looking at it. if you try to gently turn your head it'll push the other way. if you take off a blindfold in front of it, it snaps your neck.
Item #: SCP-3854
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation personnel are not to locate or enter SCP-3854 under any circumstances. Project Dresden has proven sufficient to keep SCP-3854's loss at a safe level. In the event that SCP-3854 reports a loss greater than 64, all Foundation communications within the countries of Greenland, Iceland, and Canada are to be halted until the situation is resolved.
Description: SCP-3854 is a clandestine Foundation site located on the Southeastern coast of Greenland. SCP-3854 was created in order to house various anomalies with memetic, cognitohazardous, or infohazardous properties that would make human containment infeasible. The maintenance of SCP-3854 is handled by specialized AICs and robotic instruments.
The only direct contact between the Foundation and SCP-3854 is a single robot-controlled ship, the SCPS Argos, which lands at the Foundation-owned ███████ harbor in Iceland every two weeks to be restocked with supplies. In addition to cargo, the Argos carries information about the site's state in the form of a single 8-bit unsigned integer. This value has been termed "loss" by researchers and technicians.

PROJECT DRESDEN
Project Dresden is a recurrent neural network that generates the list of supplies to be loaded onto the Argos. Utilizing the loss function provided by the Argos and an initial list created by the Foundation, it has been able to maintain a loss value below 16 approximately 8█% of the time. When loss exceeds 16, Project DRESDEN will submit a report to this page.

Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Neutralized (previously Keter)
Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Rho-17 ("i didn't sign up for this shit") is responsible for locating and disposing of instances of SCP-X. Maritime and law-enforcement communications in the Gulf of Alaska are to be monitored for reports of anomalous activity.
Description: SCP-X is a phenomenon, localized to certain areas of the Pacific Northwest, in which freshly killed whale carcasses will spontaneously manifest on dry land. The carcasses vary greatly in size, species, and initial altitude. The majority (~60%) manifest more than 100 meters above ground, exploding violently upon impact.
SCP-X was discovered when a deceased North Pacific Right whale manifested on top of a house in rural British Columbia, killing two of its inhabitants. News of the deaths was suppressed through the usual channels, and the manifestation filed as an Extranormal Event. Two weeks later, a group of hikers in the same region found the remains of a Humpback whale that had manifested half a meter underground, creating a noticeable whale-shaped indent in the soil. A subsequent search of the area revealed dozens of whale carcasses in varying stages of decomposition.
Instances of SCP-X manifest solely on weekdays, at an average rate of 3 per week.
Addendum: As of ██/██/2███, SCP-X events have halted completely.
After two weeks of searching the affected areas, MTF Rho-17 found the wrecked remains of a small fishing boat in an uninhabited region of the Idaho panhandle. The boat had suffered serious structural damage, commensurate with a fall of at least 50 meters. Inside of the boat were:
- The mangled remains of three middle-aged Caucasian males. DNA testing was unable to identify them.
- [REDACTED], of the kind used by the Foundation.
- A sheet of loose-leaf paper, with the heading "05/██/██ - 12/██/██" (the week SCP-X events stopped). The paper is split into two columns, "caught" and "received", by a line drawn through the center. The "caught" column contains 8 tally marks, and the "received" column 4.
- A drawer filled with similar looseleaf sheets, going ██ weeks back. The difference between the "caught" and "received" numbers almost exactly matches up with the number of SCP-X events that week.
The fate of the "received" whales is unknown.
Item #: SCP-X
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The wild SCP-X population has been seriously reduced since its discovery. The SCP-X population is now sufficiently low, and the effects sufficiently mundane, that no further culling is necessary.
The Foundation maintains a moderate breeding population of 1000 individuals. Due to the problems inherent in human-directed care, this population is to be given food and water through an automated system.
Description: SCP-X is an anomalous strain of Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus). Genome analysis indicates that all SCP-X have a common ancestor that lived in the American Noutheast; but have since migrated to most of the world's major port cities via shipping routes.
SCP-X instances are incapable of eliciting sympathy or concern in human beings. In most people, this manifests as a greater tendency to commit acts of violence against the rats, such as shooing or kicking them. When questioned about their behavior, affected individuals will admit that torturing the rats is wrong, and often halt immediately.
A minority of people will commit much harsher acts of cruelty.
SCP-X was discovered after foundation webcrawlers flagged multiple videos of abnormal animal violence from across the world. in one high-profile instance, an internet user slow-cooked a clear plastic container full of infant SCP-X, live-streaming it as a "contest" to see which one could survive the longest.
ok bro listen up. people who commit acts of violence against SCP-X are NOT deranged or sociopathic. it's the rats' anomalous effects that are preventing them from making the right choices.
emotions are an essential tool for reasoning and acting quickly - we know from cognitive research that they are at the forefront of most human behavior and motivation. most people and cultures feel a natural revulsion towards rats; when this feeling is unchecked by concern, it will automatically lead to these acts of cruelty. these people are acting on autopilot - which is why, when questioned about their behavior or told to stop, they will usually stop.
there's also a minority of people who go above and beyond with their rat mutilation. this is also easy to explain: they're just like any other enthusiasts. mankind has a wonderful curiosity and temerity that led to our taking over the world. we are attracted to complexity like moths to a flame - and few things are more complex than living things. without the natural barrier of concern, these people will take apart or experiment on these helpless animals with glee.
