Object Class : Keter Euclid

Special Containment Procedures : In the case of a 5077 event, MTF Lambda-5 “White Rabbits” must be deployed on site and perform the "Catalog Procedure". A coverup story about a horror play taking place inside the library that hosted the event must be spread in any news media in, at least, 10 minutes.
SCP 5077-1 must be held in a 5m x 5m humanoid containment chamber. The chamber must have at least six well maintained SRAs and Hume levels must be kept under ██. All copies of SCP 5077-2 must be locked in a special containment locker in site-19. Handling and reading SCP 5077-2 must be performed only by 4/5077 clearence personel.
Incursions and exploration inside SCP 5077-A are prohibted, the only exception being the "Catalog Procedure", where entering SCP 5077-A is obligatory.

Description: SCP 5077 is the designation for an anomalous event that happens in libraries around the world when two items, designated SCP 5077-1 and SCP 5077-2, interact with each other.

SCP 5077-1 is a caucasian european male, 1.85 meters tall, redhead, dark colored skin and, in the present moment, goes by the name of Dr. Langton Linderbrock. He wears a beige robe that covers all of his body (Carbon 14 tests indicates that the robe fabric dates back 4000 years ago). SCP 5077-1 is a level II Type Green reality bender, capable of materializing ink and paper from a pocket dimension designated 5077-1-A.

The ink and paper (95% of the cases papyrus), if used individually by any human being other than SCP 5077-1, won't manifest its anomalous properties. If given enough time, SCP 5077-1 will start to write, and, if not interrupted during the writing process, will produce a SCP 5077-2 instance.

Trying to interrupt the writing process caused distinct results, as can be seen in the chart below:

OUTCOME	RECURRENCE (%)
SCP 5077-1 stopped writing and initiated conversation with researcher	70
SCP 5077-1 became shrouded in a thick blackened fog for 10 minutes and then restarted writing	15
Room where SCP 5077-1 is held became inaccessible and impossible to be observed for a period of 2 days	10
SCP 5077-1 tried to breach containment by [REDACTED]	4
A 5077 event was triggered in ██ libraries	1

Outside containment, SCP 5077-1 can shape and mold any kind of matter at will and can, if given enough time, create a spatial void (maximum range observed of 1km radius) that leads to SCP 5077-A.

SCP 5077-2 is the collective of books produced by SCP 5077-1. All instances of SCP 5077-2 features a hard cover with the title “Misanthrope”¹ inscribed in it. Pages of the book are made with the same kind of paper that SCP 5077-1 uses when writing said instance and has no exact number of pages (thought it has been observed that all instances features at least 2020 pages).

When SCP 5077-1 finishes a SCP 5077-2 instance and opens it, a 5077 event is triggered.

+ 5077 Event timeline

Foreword: Up to 05/05/2020, all 105 cataloged events were successfully suppressed, but is theorized that if suppression of such event fails, it could possibly result in a AK-class end of the Civilization scenario followed by a CK-Class ("End-of-Reality") scenario.

1 minute after opening a SCP 5077-2 instance – “Zero Hour”: The whole catalog of a library with a storage size of at least 35000 books will be replaced by copies of SCP 5077-2. It is impossible to predict the exact library that will host a 5077 event. The change is instantaneous and library employees are unaware of the event.

10 minutes after “Zero Hour”: Any human within a 500 meters radius from the library will be drawn towards it and feel an “uncontrollable urge” to read a SCP 5077-2 instance. When at least 70% of the instances present in the library are being read, all buildings entrances become gateways to SCP 5077-A (see exploration logs 01-30)².

Undefined: SCP 5077-A’s area begins to increase at a rate of ██ m2/s with no known limit. Thankfully, foundation was able to stop the growth of SCP 5077-A in all observed cases.

Discovery: SCP 5077 was discovered in 1971 when several distress calls coming from the Library of Congress, Washington DC, caught Foundation’s attention.

Police reported that people in the library’s vicinity listened to constant screaming, loud bell sounds and incomprehensible vocalizations (similar to gregorian chants) coming from within the library.

After 10 minutes of various attempts by the police to retrieve the missing civilians, a black thick fog surrounded the library, causing mass panic. MTF Lambda-5 (“White Rabbits”) was deployed on site and entered the area within SCP 5077. After 10 minutes all anomalous activity ceased³ and MTF Gamma-5 (“Red Herring”) performed protocol “See no Evil”, preventing a possible Broken Masquerade scenario.

After the incident, Foundation operatives kept watch in all libraries in the U.S. as well as in most of libraries in [REDACTED] countries, leading to discovery of SCP 5077-1.

SCP 5018-1 was found inside the Egyptian Public Library in Dokky as the sole survivor of a 5077 event aside from the Foundation agents. Dr. Langton Linderbrock, a professor of [REDACTED] was considered missing by state police of [REDACTED] after the University stated that he hasn't returned from his expedition to Egypt.

Langton disappearance , however, caught Foundation’s attention when no prior records of Dr Langton were found by state police, such as birth certificate and relatives, and skech given by the University corresponded as the surviving man in the event’s location.

Dr Linderbrock was distressed and seemingly anxious, but did not resisted to the Foudation Agents, and suggested his own containment, acting like he wanted to be captured. Langton gave details for his anomalous properties and how to supress them, leading to what is called the "Catalog Procedure", a method for containment of 5077 events.

Although SCP 5077-1 seems to be cooperative with all Foudation staff, every 6 days he begins the process of writing a SCP 5077-2 instance, and if not interrupted, he will open said instance, generating a 5077 event⁴

Exploration Video Log Transcript
Date: ██/██/████
Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force MTF Lambda-5 “White Rabbits”

[BEGIN LOG]

All agents turn on their recording equipment at the same time, camera shows that the crew is facing the main entrance of the Library of Congress. Loud screams, crying, and bell chimes are captured by the microphones. Due to the black fog, nothing can be seen of the building's interior. As Lambda-C moves his head backwards, several police cars and Foundation helicopters can be seen surrounding the area, as well as civilians being detained by Foundation personnel.

Lambda-A: All right men, it's time to clean up this mess, prepare yourselves and remember to always stay in touch through the radio, you all know how this spatial anomalies are.

Lambda-C: Never seen such a strange phenomenon, but the hell with it, lets go.

Agents A and C move forward while B and D follow behind. As the agents get closer to the fog, their video feeds starts to fail and drizzle, until all is seen in the recording is noise. After two minutes of complete silence from all MTF operatives, only Lambda-A’s camera comes back on-line, although, all microphones return to operate. Lambda-A is seen in a vast countryside, and a two story house is seen at the distance. Agent moves camera, looking at all directions. As he pans the camera, six humanoid silhouettes can be seen floating in the sky, measuring approximately 20 meters, Lambda-A seems not to notice these figures.

Lambda-A: [REDACTED]? Do you listen to me? Where are you guys?

Agent stays silent for 1 minute and starts walking towards the house, heavy breathing can be heard.
Meanwhile, from the microphones of Lambda-C and Lambda-D, distorted sounds can be heard. Lambda-B's microphone stays silent throughout the whole operation.

Upon reaching the house, the front door is opened, and Lambda-A enters the house. The inside depicts an old house from the late ‘80. It is dusty and looks abandoned. The right door leads to a dining room and the left door to a living room, in front of Lambda-A stairs lead to the second floor.

Lambda-A: Looks like hasn't been used for years.

Lambda-A goes towards the dining room. On the dining table lies a copy of SCP 5077-2, Lambda-A reaches for the book when a voice is heard through the microphone.

Unknown: It's a fine work, don't you think so?

Lambda-A turns his head towards the voice, revealing it to be from an old man, apparently in his 90, wearing a similar robe to that worn by SCP 5077-A, only difference that it is crimson red.

Unknown: You’ve come very far to get a copy.

Lambda-A: Wait, h-how are you here? And what place is this, where is everybody?

Unknown: Always curious… I remember … this is how Meskalamdug⁵ described himself, well, all of you. So sad to see what you have become. You see, I was the only one who had faith, all of my brothers… they…never mind…

Lambda-A: Sir, i know this looks confusing but you have to trust me, this place, whatever it is, isn't safe. If you have any information that could help me, tell me, time is running short and a lot of lives are at stake.

Unknown: Place, time … you think you know everything, that you understand everything, but the truth is, it has already been decided. But it is not my burden. This, this curse, i leave it to your own kind.

The old man is seen grabbing the copie of SCP 5077-2 and closing it, and, suddenly, all the crew's cameras go back online. The video feed shows that they're still in the Library of Congress, although there are corpses all through the building, hanging in the cellar covered in blood, the majority have their chests cavity torn apart, with no organs left in their bodies . Slowly, all MTF agents report to base, except from Lambda-B, who stays silent.
Lambda-C and D state that they don't remember anything from the expedition. The transition between SCP 5077-A and baseline reality caught by Lambda-As camera was instantaneous.

Note: Recording of all operatives devices were collected and analyzed. Lambda-C and D cameras were basically 10 minutes of the screams and noises heard by the people in the vicinity of the library. Lambda-B camera and microphone recorded over 40 hours of film and audio, and the aforementioned agent showed signs of PTSD, that was countered with class A amnestics . The cause of this remains unknown.

+ Book's content (Level 4 clearance required)

Pages 1-50 "Introduction" : These pages describe a race of beings, often referred as "The Librarians", whose goal is to "Search, Analyze and Decide". In all instances these section is always the same, and ends with the description of the "Neo Procedure", where a specimen from the observed planet is chosen to be analyzed.

Pages 50-1000 "History": This chapter is also constant in all instances and describes the arrival of said beings in planet Earth. Planet Earth and all animal life are describe as "unremarkable" until what is described in the book as the "Birth of Evil" when "The Librarians" changed the decision to "Unknown" (for more information about how "The Librarians" catalog and label the planets ask permission to at least three O-5 council members). What follows is a detailed description of the birth and evolution of the human race, along with the studies of the human specimen taken from Earth for "Neo Procedure".

Pages 1000-last page "Unlabeled" : This chapter varies its size and content from each SCP 5077-2 instance. There are seven (7) possible variations of this section, but six of them contains a very negative view of the human race and the overall existence of planet Earth.

Last page- The last page aways depicts the following paragraph : "Over the centuries we've seen infinite universes, stars and planets, but this place, this race, is something else, like we've never seen. Some of us were decided, some were not, a few looked away, but none forgot."

Sky Diving

Special Containment Procedures : SCP XXXX is to be kept inside the Biological Containment Green House 18. The green house's environment is to be strictly contained within the red-zone. The 2 km 'dead zone' surrounding the inner dome is to be maintained, which connects the containment area to the farmlands.
Only D-classes and unmanned drone expeditions are allowed within the inner dome, all access is to be performed via the subterranean cave system beneath the 'dead zone'.
Inner Dome maintenance is the exception of the former procedure, and has to be performed once a week by repair drones.
A backup power generator is available in the case of a power failure or a blackout. In case that any of the core supplies fails to be delivered into the inner dome, site 66 is to be notified and MTF Theta-4 ("Gardeners") operatives are to be deployed on site.

Description: SCP XXXX is a space capsule resembling the one from Mercury-Redstone space booster from the Mercury Project (1960), although there are no markings or engravings that indicate that SCP XXXX was made by the US, or any known nation.
SCP XXXX is located in █████ São Paulo, Brazil, a former farming village community which is now the containment area for SCP XXXX.
Inside SCP XXXX there is a human corpse, hereon SCP XXXX -A, believed to be Dr. [REDACTED], head researcher and astronaut from the “Sky Diving” project.
SCP XXXX-A creates around itself an area with cognihazard and infogazard properties. The area of effects are divided by 2 zones, the red zone (5 meters from SCP XXXX-A) and the dead zone (5 m - 2km from SCP XXXX-A).
The dead zone is characterized by the lack of any life form other than human life. As of 12/29/2005 no animal, plant, fungi or bacteria could be observed within the dead zone. When a human enters said zone he develops a severe headache and becomes confused of his surroundings, often referring to the 'dead zone' as his workplace. If a human stays an extended period of time inside the 'dead zone' he will firmly believe that this is his home, "where he will work to protect us all"⁶.
The red-zone is characterized by the presence of mold covering all SCP XXXX and SCP XXXX-A. When a human enters the red-zone, he enters in a coma state for 2-5 minutes. When the subject wakes up, he states that he is Dr. [REDACTED] and needs time to build a weapon that is capable of destroying the mold covering SCP XXXX.

Discovery: SCP XXXX was discovered after Dr Adam Gray, from site-66 bio weaponry studies division reported that a field agent, Amanda Bratkowsky, has gone MIA while investigating a possible anomalous event in █████, São Paulo, Brazil.
In 10/03/1985 site-66 communication division received a mail package containing video tapes, labeled Investigation-Phenomenon 1-3 and a video depicting the AOAT Event. The contents of these files helped Foundation personnel to make a successible incursion and contain SCP XXXX.
What follows are excerpts from the audio logs (to read and hear full audio logs please enter in contact with on site Administrator) and description of the video sent by the Foundation Operative.

Investigation-Phenomenon 1

[Starting recording] Amanda is seen driving her car, the outside view depicts a wide and vast plain, typical of the region.

Amanda: Humm,hello…no…hmmm…This is recording number one of the investigation into the possible anomalous fenommenon XXXX, in which the small town of [REDACTED] suddenly ceased all communication in 09/01/1985.

For a few minutes Amanda stayed silent, driving through the road.
Amanda: Strange, when this happens they normally send some MTF to clear the way….
not this time, they said…. well, at least I came prepared. This disguise kit Adam gave to me is incredible, anti-memetic glasses and hat! Hey, there's the entrance sign! “Welcome to [REDACTED], where peace and prosperity meet”, very uplifting, lets see what awaits me.

Operative turns câmera of. Another piece of recording stars, now Amanda uses a mounted camera in her glasses to register her surroundings.

Amanda: Seems quiet, and a little grayish. For an inland city, there's almost no green here, only buildings and paved sidewalks. Not even a little bush? Hey! There's someone, I'll approach and ask some questions, here the investigation really begins.

Amanda approaches a tall, brown haired man. He is carrying a suitcase, wears a brown tuxedo, typical of the 60’s. When Amanda approaches him, he stops, but looks hurried, looking over Amanda’s shoulder during all conversation.

Amanda: Hey! Good day to you sir, I'm a psychologist from the city university and I'm doing a
survey about life in the inland cities. Could I use a minute of your time?

Man: Oh, sorry madam, I can’t, I’m busy now. We have to … I mean … I have to go now.

Amanda: That’s exactly what I wanted to hear! Many people see life in the country as a calm and eventless life, do you agree with that statement? Do things, unusual things happen around here?

Man: Wait, this seems familiar…psychologist, huh?

Amanda pans the camera around her and residents can be seen in the building’s windows, staring at her. Now, more people can be seen on the sidewalks as well, all looking directly at her. After 10 seconds of silence, all residents return to their activities and the man walks around Amanda, leaving her alone.

End of Investigation Log-1.

Investigation-Phenomenon 2

[Starting recording] Amanda is seen in what appears to be a cell. She is holding the glasses in front of her, recording her own face, as she speaks. She appears to be exhausted, and has several bruises on her face.

Amanda: Thank God they didn't take my glasses, I don’t know how I’ll send this to you guys, but somehow I will break free. After I strolled through some streets and tried to talk with the residents, I was certain that something strange had happened here. All of them seemed so… synchronized, as if they were only one person. Their way of walking and speaking is also odd, almost identical to people that lived in the 60’s. They told me about a new religion that rejects the natural and praises the new, but this didn’t convince me. After a few hours, a police car parked besides me and the officer detained me. I think at this point they just simply didn't care to maintain discretion, they acted as they knew that I’m Foundation personnel.

Amanda looks over the camera.

Amanda: Here in my cell I often hear their conversations. They talk about the “Big Day”, in which they would be free from its chains, and the barn could finally be destroyed. This means nothing to me, but one thing worries me. I no longer have my hat, and I already started to have headaches, maybe I’ll soon become one of them, let's hope not.

Amanda scratches her forehead, looking very tired.

Amanda: They often say that when the “Big Day” comes, they would light the sky with flames, and see “it” burn to ashes. I don’t know when this will happen, but I’ll try my best to prevent this… oh [REDACTED] they’ve returned, i have to go.

End of Investigation Log-2.

Investigation-Phenomenon 3

[Starting recording] The glasses are being held by an unknown person, and the camera records only a black screen for approximately 5 minutes, while feminine screams can be heard.
When the view is unobstructed, Amanda is seen strapped in a chair, with 2 people lifting her towards a barn. The camera then is pointed towards the face of the man who was holding it the whole time, as he speaks.

Man: Hello Foundation, do you guys miss me? You left me to die in the void, but I’ve returned. Soon I will finish what you have started, and when I’m done, the next target is you.
The man tosses the glasses away, and stomps the device, ending the recordings.

End of Investigation Log-3.

AOAT Event video

The video starts with the camera positioned in a tripod filming a vast and bare area. In the top left corner of the screen the date 09/30/1985 can be seen. Various residents are present, forming a circle around an empty space, with Amanda among them.
The ground starts to shake, and the empty space starts to open like a hatch, revealing, beneath the surface, heavy machinery and what appears to be a cannon. A platform is risen to surface level revealing the equipment. After a few minutes of silence, Amanda shouts to the people in the platform near the cannon, and it is fired.
A projectile can be seen leaving the cannon and disappearing into the sky. 10 minutes later the AOAT event starts, as all begin to cheer and commemorate. One individual gets closer to the camera and stops the recording.

By Order of the O5-Council, the following addendums are restricted.
Access is allowed only to level 4 Clearance Personnel and to those who were involved in the "Sky Diving" project.

AOAT Event

The AOAT Event is the designation given to a phenomenon that happened on the night of 09/01/1985 in Brazil.
At 10:45 pm at least 104 cities in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais reported that the night sky was lit by what appeared to be an explosion.
In at least 85% of these locations, the ground level was struck with a heat and shock wave, which burned and damaged several structures and caused [REDACTED] casualties. This phenomenon lasted for 2 hours before fading away.
In the following day, the SCP desinformation division team quickly deployed, with the aid of MTF Gamma-5 “Red Herrings”, amnestics in all affected cities and fabricated news pieces to build a cover story. Within 2 days all public knowledge about AOAT Event was erased successfully.
