SCP-I001
Object Class: Euclid Keter Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-I001 should be kept in a 3x3x3m cell with a single viewing window. All surfaces in the containment cell should be resistant to penetration forces upwards of 1 MPa, and should be inspected for cracks weekly. Access to containment and any research of SCP-I001 is restricted to those not explicitly authorized by O5 command, and should be enforced by two Level-3 security guards at all times.
In the event that information regarding SCP-I001 is leaked, Mobile Task Force O-# "Paper-Shredders" is assigned with preventing the further spread of information and administering the appropriate class of amnestics to all those affected. Members of MTF O-# should be well informed on SCP-I001 through personal research, and familiar with each type of amnestic. Members of MTF O-# have full clearance for use of amnestic classes A through E. As a last resort, with permission from at least two (2) members of O5 command, MTF O-# may carry out Procedure I001-Rewind, where they are authorized to self-administer Class-F amnestics.
Every researcher assigned to SCP-I001 must be present whenever conducting tests. Whenever a new researcher is added the team, every significant test to date must be re-conducted with the recruit present. If a researcher desires to leave the team, they must be given Class-E amnestics and a new identity.
In light of Incident I001-02, SCP-I001's object class should only be changed after a psychological examination and O5 approval. Researchers must be screened monthly to ensure knowledge on SCP-I001 is up-to-date and acquired from firsthand testing.
- The Previous Lives of Mobile Task Force O-# "Paper Shredders"
Description: SCP-I001 is not to be described. The spread of information of SCP-I001 that is not acquired by firsthand analysis triggers a memetic effect whereupon the recipient of the information becomes hysterically determined to learn more about SCP-I001. To avoid this effect, no description of SCP-I001 is allowed for general use.
It cannot be confirmed how SCP-I001 came to foundation custody. The earliest known existence of SCP-I001 can be traced back to the discovery of a new wing to Site-I123, with a note posted on the door:
Dear future selves:
Hi. There's an SCP contained in the wing behind this door. Please don't say anything about it. We really mean this.
We're writing this to us because we messed up again. Everyone around the facility is running wild, trying to see SCP-I001, and simply wiping their memory isn't working anymore. It's clear that we keep becoming a vector of memetic triggers somehow, and we have to wipe our own memory in order to stop the spread of SCP-I001's effects. Class-F amnestics seem to do the trick, and there's no need to go above Class-B when dealing with the rest of the site staff (unless things are really bad, and you're reading this for the first time).
We don't know how many times we've had to do this. We hope this is the last time. Please don't let anyone know anything about SCP-I001 except for us, whoever we are now.
Good luck,
The Previous Lives of Mobile Task Force O-# "Paper-Shredders"
Below the signature, four tally marks have been scrawled, assumed to the number of memory wipes since the note was written. Attached to the note was a copy of containment procedures (now in current effect), along with a document describing Procedure I001-Rewind (stored below as Document-I001-01). Behind the door, the entire offices had been destroyed with all documents incinerated.
Document-I001-01:
Procedure I001-Rewind:
An indeterminate amount of experience of SCP-I001 has revealed that multiple exposures to its memetic triggers causes subjects to associate the researchers of SCP-I001 themselves with the information causing SCP-I001's effects of developing extreme interest. This effect persists as long as the researchers possess the information that was leaked in the past. Due to this, information leaks about SCP-I001 must be avoided at all costs, but repeat information leaks can only be combated by wiping the minds of researchers on the SCP-I001 team.
In the case that exposure to SCP-I001's researchers becomes a memetic trigger itself, Mobile Task Force O-# "Paper Shredders" is tasked with immediately giving Class-B amnestics to all staff on site, along with giving Class-F amnestics to all SCP-I001 researchers and to themselves. As Class-F amnestics takes 5 days to administer, this operation will be overseen by Dr. Beck, head of the SCP-I001 research team, who will give himself Class-F amnestics completely isolated once Procedure Rewind is complete.
- The Previous Lives of Mobile Task Force O-# "Paper Shredders"
NEXT STEPS - have a researcher break protocol and release select documents, including surviving scraps
One document can be a partial recovery log
Another can be logs from experimentation of a prolonged memetic effect
have it turn out that it's not memetic somehow and the creature is trying to escape by getting people interested enough to open its cage
ANOTHER IDEA - The lead researcher never gets their memory wiped but pretends that it is wiped every time. They have to decide to wipe everyone's minds when they start to discover the "truth" about SCP-I001.
Dr. Beck can make an addendum saying he "discovered" a note left in his office. not sure what this could be that would be incriminating but also not noticeably to him
ANOTHER IDEA - have this file act like a story, in a way - have it start to show logs of people talking to Dr. Beck and start to reveal sketchy things, or post Dr. Beck's secret notes
I was thinking about why Dr. Beck is trying to keep secrets. One idea is that SCP-I001 was someone close to him, and he is trying to figure out how to reverse it and free them. Or, trying to avenge someone close to him and doesn't want to forget them
OOOO have amnestics go wrong and an MTF member observes Dr. Beck talking to SCP-I001 instead of self-adminstering amnestics and notices things about Dr. Beck's behavior during "discovery" of them room and goes to O5 command or the site directors to talk about it. They go to interview Dr. Beck but he panics and escapes with SCP-I001, with some documentation found in his desk. Then have some sort of chase?
SCP-I003
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-I003 must be stored in a secure locker (currently at Site-I123-I003) and access must be restricted to Level 2 clearance or above. SCP-I003 is not permitted to be worn unless for testing, which must take place within Site-I123-I003, structurally isolated from the rest of Site-I123 (see Incident-I003-1). Testing must only be done with D-Class personnel.
Description: SCP-I003 is a pair of open-toed sandals. [[ADD MORE DESCRIPTION HERE. WAS CONSIDERING MAKING IT ADJUST FOR FOOT SIZE BUT HAVE NO GOOD REASON YET. UNSURE OF COLOR.]] On the bottom of each sandal, "Soles of the Sorcerer", assumed to be the manufacturer of the sandals, is imprinted.
SCP-I003, when worn, will cause the wearer to occasionally stub their toes on the edges of nearby furniture surfaces (see Incident-I003-1). Through experimentation, it has been determined that instead of influencing the wearer's feet into hitting surfaces, SCP-I003 instead attracts the surfaces with enough force to move them in front of the wearer's toes closest to the surface.
SCP-I003 was first discovered when Researcher ███████ (name withheld for anonymity) started showing an unusual trend of bumping into furniture and eventually outright breaking their toe. This was linked to an online order made for comfortable sandals from a footwear vendor called "Soles of the Sorcerer". Despite the vendor's name being printed on the bottom of each sandal, no trace of the company's existence can be found online or in any records available to the Foundation. Investigation into this vendor and the existence of other anomalous products is ongoing. Researcher ███████ has been reprimanded for carelessly wearing open-toed footwear in a lab setting.
Seriously, people? It's basic lab safety: wear closed-toe shoes, protective clothing, and have your hair back in a bun. You learned this stuff in high school chemistry. Researcher ███████ is lucky to still be here. - Dr. Beck
Following Incident I003-1, SCP-I003 is under review for possible sentience. Due to its effects only manifesting when being worn, an object class change does not seem to be warranted at this time.
Addendum I003-01: Testing log for SCP-I003
Test IOO3-1 - Date 3/28/2019
Subject: Dr. Beck
Procedure: Subject wears SCP-I003 and walks down an empty hallway.
Results: Nothing of interest occurred.
Test IOO3-2 - Date 3/28/2019
Subject: Dr. Beck
Procedure: Subject wears SCP-I003 and walks down hallway. A chair is placed on the left side of the hallway.
Results: Subject bumped into chair while walking past, stumbled, and cursed.
Notes: "I swear I didn't mean to do that" - Dr. Beck
Test IOO3-3 - Date 3/28/2019
Subject: Dr. Beck
Procedure: Subject wears SCP-I003 and walks down hallway. A chair is placed on the left side of the hallway. Subject consciously avoids contact between their foot and the chair.
Results: Subject successfully passes chair without stubbing toes.
Notes: "It appears that the sandals have at least a limited access to the wearer's mind. That could potentially be dangerous, depending on the scope of its mind-reading abilities. Let's start by determining if it has any decision-making skills." -Dr. Beck
Test IOO3-4 - Date 3/28/2019
Subject: Dr. Beck
Procedure: Subject wears SCP-I003 and walks down hallway. A chair is placed on both the left and right side of the hallway. Subject stays equidistant between both chairs, and attempts to clear any preferences between hitting either chair from their mind.
Results: Subject stubs their feet on both chairs, tripping in the process.
Notes: "F███er. I want to taunt it." -Dr. Beck
Test IOO3-5 - Date 3/28/2019
Subject: Dr. Beck
Procedure: Subject wears SCP-I003 and walks down hallway. A chair is chained to the left wall of the hallway, just out of reach of the subject's path.
Results: Subject stubs their toes on the chair. The section of the wall chained to the chair is ripped from the rest of the wall.
Notes: "Sorry, maintenance." -Dr. Beck
Any on-site testing with SCP-I003 is now forbidden. -O5-█
Addendum I003-02: Incident Report I003-01
On 3/28/2019, as Dr. Beck concluded testing at Site-I123 (still wearing SCP-I003), SCP-I003 pulled the sides of a doorway into Dr. Beck's feet, collapsing nearby walls. The substantial structural damage to Site-I123 resulted in the containment breach of a Euclid-class SCP and 6 subsequent casualties before containment was restored. Dr. Beck sustained major wounds from being crushed but ultimately survived.
SCP-I003 has since been relocated to a location structurally isolated from Site-I123 to prevent further unnecessary structural damage. Dr. Beck has been reprimanded for carelessly wearing open-toed footwear in a lab setting.

Description: SCP-I001 ██ █ sentient humanoid-shaped being ████████ ██ 2.5 meters in height. Its body ██ ████████ ██ many ribbons █████████ ██ ██ 0.1 mm thick that ██████ ██ ██ manipulated seemingly at will. The arms can frequently ██ █████ ██ one of two states: "disengaged", where the arm █████████ ████ roughly 30 separate ribbons starting at the elbow, and "attack", where the ribbons ███████ ██ ████████ a single thorn-like shape. SCP-I001 ███ ████ ████████ ██ ██████ with this "attack" state at piercing pressures of up to 1 MPa, well over the amount needed to fully pierce a human body. Analysis reveals that the ribbons ███ ████████ ██ the bark of the shagbark hickory tree, which is native to South-Eastern North America. This has been proposed to be some kind of camouflage.
SCP-I001 ███ ████████ by the Foundation in MONTHMONTH/DATEDATE/1989 near TOWN, STATE, after reports surfaced about everyone in a small town disappearing. MTF O-# was dispatched to investigate, and found the town heavily fortified, with all inhabitants deceased from either hunger or dehydration, and SCP-I001 ████████ ██ the corpses. MTF O-# succeeded in containing SCP-I001 in a military truck while only sustaining major papercuts. The memetic effects of SCP-I001 were not discovered until weeks after initial containment, logged as Incident-I001-01.
Learning information second-hand about SCP-I001 seems to induce a memetic effect where the recipient of knowledge becomes remarkably interested in discovering more about SCP-I001. This includes, but is not limited to, word of mouth, reading, listening to an audio recording, or a viewing of a visual recording, and often results in additional memetic triggers. This effect can be avoided or stopped if the triggering information is learned through personal account. Additionally, the effect does not seem to trigger if the information is instead implied through the absence of verbs in any phrase where SCP-I001 is being described.
Addendum 1: Incident-I001-01
Shortly after containment, nearly every staff member at Site-I123 applied to join the research team for SCP-I001 over the span of 2 days. This brought to light the memetic effects of SCP-I001, and access to information about SCP-I001 was heavily restricted. All staff members not on the SCP-I001 team was given Class B amnestics and were screened to ensure they knew nothing about SCP-I001. Parts of SCP-I001’s description has been redacted so as to not cause a similar incident.
Addendum 2: Incident-I00I-02
On MONTHMONTH/DATEDATE/2003, a researcher on the SCP-I001 team inadvertently exposed themselves to information they had not yet learned, resulting in the panic that there was much more to be learned about SCP-I001, and a change in its object class was requested. As a result, restrictions on object class changes were implemented, as well as screenings to make sure all team members were up-to-date on all research.

Anything crossed out not in the Object Class will be replaced with "█" on SCP publish.
Object Class: Eucilid Keter Eucilid Keter Eucilid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-I001 should be kept in a 10x10x10m cell with a single viewing window. All surfaces in the containment cell should be resistant to penetration forces of upwards of 1 MPa, and any cracks wider than 0.1 mm (the thickness of paper) must immediately be sealed through any means possible. SCP-I001's cell and viewing room is to be kept in a wing separate from the rest of Site-I123, along with any and all records and research on SCP-I001. Access to this wing is restricted to those not explicitly authorized by O5 personnel. No records are permitted to be removed from the wing, and any recording devices are to be screened by the leading researcher on SCP-I001 before being removed from the wing. Two Level 2 guards are to be stationed outside of the wing at all times in order to enforce this.
No conversations concerning SCP-I001 outside of its wing are permitted. Any personnel found talking about SCP-I001 are to be immediately detained, given amnestics to ensure there is no information leak, and severely reprimanded. In the case that information regarding SCP-I001 is leaked, Mobile Task Force O-# "Paper-Shredders" is assigned with preventing further spread of information and giving amnestics to all those affected. Members of MTF O-# should be well informed on SCP-I001 (through personal research).
In the case that a researcher assigned to SCP-I001 begins exhibiting signs of being under Effect-I001-λ, the researcher must be interviewed in order to determine the information that triggered the effect (interviewee must have extensive knowledge of SCP-I001, or given amnestics shortly afterwards), and must test SCP-I001 until Effect-I001-λ ceases. If a researcher desires to leave the team, they must be given amnestics to forget all knowledge of SCP-I001 that may trigger Effect-I001-λ.
Due to Incidents I001-02 and -03, SCP-I001's object class can only be changed after a psychological examination and O5 approval.
Description: SCP-I001 is a sentient humanoid-shaped being standing at roughly 3 meters in height. Its body is composed of many ribbons estimated to be 0.1 mm thick that appear to be manipulated at SCP-I001's will. The arms can frequently be found in one of two states: "disengaged", where the arm separates into roughly 30 separate ribbons starting at the elbow, and "attack", where the ribbons combine to assemble a single thorn-like shape. SCP-I001 has been observed to thrust with this "attack" state at piercing pressures of up to 1 MPa, well over the amount needed to fully pierce a human body. Analysis reveals that the ribbons are composed of the bark of the shagbark hickory tree, which is native to South-Eastern North America.
SCP-I001 was captured by the Foundation in MONTHMONTH/DATEDATE/1989 near TOWN, STATE, after reports surfaced about everyone in a small town disappearing. MTF O-# was dispatched to investigate, and found the town heavily fortified, with all inhabitants deceased from either hunger or dehydration, and SCP-I001 feasting on the corpses. MTF O-# succeeded in containing SCP-I001 in a military truck while only sustaining major papercuts. SCP-I001's effects were not discovered until weeks after initial containment, logged as Incident-I001-01. Additional notes on initial containment can be found in Log-I001-01.
What makes SCP-I001 difficult to research is the phenomenon Effect-I001-λ. The effect is triggered when anyone, henceforth referred to as the subject, learns something about SCP-I001 through any means other than personal experience. This includes, but is not limited to, word of mouth, reading, listening to an audio recording, or a viewing of a visual recording. Anyone who has already acquired the specific knowledge presented is immune to Effect-I001-λ. Removing verbs from phrases where SCP-I001 is the main object has proven to be effective thus far, as the information conveyed is only an assumption and does not seem to be enough to trigger Effect-I001-λ.
Once a subject is under Effect-I001-λ, they progress through Stages 1-4 as follows:
Stage 1: Subject shows an mildly increased interest in SCP-I001. Reviews initial trigger of Effect-I001-λ, through memory if physical review is not possible, at least once daily. Subject is not capable of spreading Effect-I001-λ at this stage. State 1 lasts 3-4 days, and [INSERT PERCENTAGE HERE]% of subjects naturally lose interest before stage 1 has completed and never progress to stage 2. However, interest can be rekindled if subject is reminded of the trigger.
Stage 2: Subject begins showing a minor neglect of typical work duties, and instead develops a small obsession with SCP-I001. Subject begins additional research into the origins, whereabouts, and past encounters with SCP-I001. This typically results in additional Effect-I001-λ triggers, hastening the process. Stage 2 lasts an average of 1 week, and all tested subjects have never lost interest in SCP-I001 after reaching this stage.
Stage 3: Subject abandons all non-essential duties for basic survival and enters an extensive obsession with SCP-I001. Expeditions to hunt SCP-I001 are usually planned at this stage. If other affected individuals are in contact, they may organize into a team. Stage 3 lasts about 2 weeks.
Stage 4: Subject launches an expedition to find SCP-I001 and learn more about it, regardless of amount of preparation (i.e. lack of food, water, and equipment is not a concern to the subject at this stage). Subject will create makeshift residence at where it believes SCP-I001 to be and stay until the subject perishes.
If at any point, the subject observes SCP-I001 and personally learns the information that triggered Effect-I001-λ, the effect immediately ceases, and typical behavior resumes. Effect-I001-λ is believed to be a hunting method, where SCP-I001 allows itself to be seen by an isolated person, who would then return to their community and spread Effect-I001-λ. Subjects would then track SCP-I001 down, and be subsequently stabbed to death.
Addendum 1: In reference to Incident-I001-01, -02 and -03
In the initial containment of SCP-I001, great difficulty was found in the existence of Effect-I001-λ. Incident-I001-01 was a mass outbreak of Effect-I001-λ in Site-I123, and warranted the extensive use of amnestics and the containment of all information on SCP-I001 in a separate wing.
In both Incident-I001-02 and -03, a researcher on the SCP-I001 team inadvertently exposed themselves to information that triggered Effect-I001-λ, resulting in the subject's panic that there was much more to be learned about SCP-I001, and a change in its object class was requested. As a result, restrictions on object class changes were implemented, and the SCP-I001 team was warned to organize and separate all information by researcher, to prevent similar incidents.
Log-I001-01: Initial capture
Foreword: The Foundation received reports that a small town in [STATE] had devolved into a warlike state and separated itself from the rest of the world. MTF-O-# was sent to investigate the cause, as the town was locally known for its hospitality.
<Begin Log>
Control: Are all operatives ready?
Bailey: Captain Richard Bailey, copy that
Kess: Amanda Kess, copy that
Gohp: Bill Gohp, copy that
Vespy: Kayla Vespy, copy that
Control: We have confirmation on all operatives, please proceed.
Bailey: Moving out.
<MTF-O-# initial response team exits back of vehicle 200 m from the town>
Vespy: Wow, it looks like a post-apocalyptic fortress or something. Scrap metal, overturned cars - something bad happened here.
Bailey: I don’t see any civilians yet. Everyone be on the ready in case they’re hostile.
<Silence as the team approaches the walls of the town>
Gohp: Anyone see a way in?
Kess: Captain, you might want to take a look at this.
Control: Please state what you are seeing for the log.
Kess: There’s a massive hole in this part of the barricade. It’s like something punched it with a mining drill like it was cheese.
Bailey: Jesus… I can’t even bend this strip. Whatever did this did it to get in. Suddenly these people don’t seem as crazy. Everyone stay sharp.
Control: Are there any signs of civilian activity?
Gohp: Absolutely nothing. It’s like the town is just holding its breath. It looks so desolate, but not abandoned.
Vespy: Should we call out?
Bailey: I want to look around to make sure whatever broke in isn’t still here. We might bring unwanted attention.
Control: You’ve got backup right outside. Right now it seems like our best interest is to secure whatever broke in so this doesn’t happen again.
Bailey: Noted. Let’s see if we can’t find it before we invite it to find us. Let’s go further in.
<Silence as the team heads deeper into the town>
Gohp: I have visual on a body! Looks to be male, middle-aged, and - jesus, the smell.
Kess: Guy’s that’s only the first - look in that bar. That’s got to be like a quarter of the entire town in there.
Vespy: (calling out) Anyone in there?
Bailey: It doesn’t look like these guys were attacked. Look at their gaunt faces - they’re all dehydrated.
Kess: Sh*t, what was that?
Control: What happened?
Kess: I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. Something big.
Bailey: Everyone rally on me, backs in. Keep your eyes peeled.
Vespy: This one’s all cut up… These are pretty exact slices.
Bailey: Control, is any other part of the town breached, or did we find the only hole?
Control: We’ll let you know in a moment. Any updates?
Gohp: Vespy, don’t stray too far. I don’t know how you can handle that smell in the bar.
Vespy: There’s a bunch of weapons in here. I think this was a fallback point. There are pictures and writings on the wall.
Bailey: Vespy, get back over here.
Kess: Something just moved again!
Vespy: These photos are interesting. Something was hunting them, I bet…
Bailey: Vespy, I need you back here now.
Gohp: Was that door open before?
Control: There’s only one opening in the town walls. The rest of the barrier is intact.
Bailey: Okay, we’re heading out. We can try to lead it to the opening hole.
Gohp: This thing probably broke that hole in the wall, though. We’re going to have to fight it head-on.
Vespy: These pictures are so grainy, if only we could find it and take better ones…
Bailey: Vespy. We’re leaving for now. Then we can try to find it.
Vespy: Fine, I’m coming.
Kess: I SAW IT! IT WENT BEHIND THE BAR!
Bailey: Everyone, by me!
Vespy: Sh*t, did you guys hear that crashing? It sounds like it just broke through a wall!
Gohp: How are we supposed to contain this thing?
Control: Hold your position. We’re sending a holding truck in.
Vespy: Now’s our chance to take a better look at it. I’m going in.
Bailey: Vespy, stand your ground! That’s a direct order!
Vespy: It’s right here! It looks all ribbony! Woah, it’s making a weird spike.
Kess: Vespy, no!
<Vespy’s screaming is heard over her mic>
Bailey: Open fire!
Gohp: It dropped Vespy! Help me get her!
<The truck arrives. Vespy is on the ground with a massive hole in her chest. Medics extract Vespy and attempt to stabilize her>
Vespy: *weakly* I f*cked up, guys…
Bailey: Alright gang, let’s deal out some payback.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: With the help of reinforcements, SCP-I001 was eventually corralled into a holding truck. Vespy suffered 8 broken ribs and a punctured lung, but has since recovered and was cleared to rejoin her a year later. After it was determined she was under Effect-I001-λ, no penalties were given for her disobedience of direct orders.
