Heat thermal image of SCP-5XXX-1

Item #: SCP-5XXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XXX is currently stored in a locked unit in the Special Items Locker of the archives on Site-██. As long as SCP-5XXX remains contained within SCP-5XXX-1, the object can be handled freely. However, once removed from the tube, SCP-5XXX displays immediately disorienting effects. Access to SCP-5XXX is restricted to Project Cartographer personnel only.

It is unclear what the widespread, uncontained effects of SCP-5XXX are. It is unclear how long SCP-5XXX has existed uncontained before coming into the possession of the Foundation.

Description: SCP-5XXX is composed of large cardboard tube SCP-5XXX-1, which houses a rolled anti-map of unknown media.1 SCP-5XXX appears made of some kind of fibrous textile, but the samples gathered from various paper distributors show no trace of the anomaly. It may not be made of a textile at all. SCP-5XXX-1 seems composed of standard industrial cardboard (various paper companies are under investigation). SCP-5XXX is 0.7m along its vertical axis and 1m along its horizontal axis when completely unfurled.

SCP-5XXX-1 appears to be unusually cold, but subjects report a feeling of "intrinsic warmth" when holding SCP-5XXX. SCP-5XXX produces a sense of increasing spatio-temporal confusion and dread. Effects similar to high doses of Datura metel (common Nightshade). Subjects also report lingering aphasia lasting up to two weeks after exposure. All subjects display disorientation, erratic ambulation, nausea, vertigo, and a pathological desire to "roll themselves" after 30 minutes of continuous physical contact with SCP-5XXX, at which point they lose consciousness. All subjects regained consciousness within hours of exposure. Subjects in physical contact with SCP-5XXX for more than 15 minutes have experience radical behavioral and personal identity changes. fMRI data reveals the brains of these subjects have been “rewired” into a variety of unusual neurological patterns.
