Item #: SCP-4394
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4394 is to be kept in a standard storage locker on Site-28. Research and testing time is allotted at the discretion of a Level 3 Researcher or above. SCP-4394-A is to be kept in the same locker, within a standard evidence bag. No attempts may be made to alter or destroy SCP-4394 or SPC-4394-A physically in any way except by authorization from the Site Director.
Description: SCP-4394 is a softback textbook measuring 5cm x 30cm x 20cm, and weighing 2.25 kilos. The paper is very thin and translucent. The title on the cover is: The Ultimate Polysubject College Study Guide 2006. The book is covered in statements such as: “Hours of Study!” and “Infinite Potential!” and contains an enormous amount of college study material (speculated as infinite). When a page is turned, the width of the remaining pages remains 5cm. It is suspected that it is some sort of spatial anomaly, where it can contain more pages than the dimensions should allow. It has been notified to the Scientific Department.
SCP-4394-A is a blank 1cm x 1cm square cut from page 34 and subjected to chemical testing by Dr. ██████ on 11/17/19.
Origin: SCP-4394 was found in a ████ College dorm room, New York City, NY, in October, 2019. There had been a report of an undergraduate finding answers to proven impossible mathematical conjectures, and Agents ██ and ███ were sent to investigate. SCP-4394 was confiscated (no casualties) and transported to Site-28 for study and containment. The student, ███ ████, and the involved professors were transported to SIte-28 for administration of Class C amnestics.
It is suspected that SCP-4394 was printed in 2005, as the title and a chemical analysis suggests this hypothesis, but this cannot be confirmed, due to a lack of a printing date. There is no publisher, editor, or author mentioned anywhere on the cover or first 14000 pages. The true origin of SCP-4394 is unknown.
Noteable Test Reports:
[10/24/19 - Dr. ████ - Attempt was made to find the end of the table of contents, and a curious property emerged. When flipping through one page at a time, the table of contents doesn’t end for at least 361 pages (inconclusive), and at page 207 the page numbers of chapters cease to be real numbers. Symbols that are not found in modern mathematics began appearing on page 231. When several pages were turned at once, they were impossibly heavy and the book opened to an extremely dense - to the point of incomprehension - essay on economic theory. The page numbers shared symbols with some of the numbers on page 231 onward. Dr. ██, who has a Master’s Degree in economics, was called in, and it took him 7 hours 32 minutes to decipher one page. He reported it as otherworldly yet extremely boring.]
[11/4/19 - Dr. ███ - D-34475 was told to page through the table of contents until she reached the end. After 2 days, at page 14000, the attempt was stopped, without reaching an end. The depth of the turned pages at the end of the week was measured at 3.22 meters, and weighed 9.6 kilos. It was determined that SCP-4394 is not indestructible, as several small tears were found on at least pages 3 and 26, probably from its previous owner.]
[11/14/19 - Dr. ██ - Attempt was made to open the back cover, but it seems fused to the last page. When held sideways in the air from the back cover, with the spine down, the book opened from the front and the pages started to cascade down, with increasing speed. After 2 seconds, the book was placed back on the table, and the pages stopped turning. It was open to page 93435. No further tests were attempted, due to possible damage to the book.]
[11/17/19 - Dr. ██████ - Upon authorization the Site Director to alter non-essential portions of SCP-4394 (the margins), SCP-4394 was paged to page 34, and then page 34 was dogeared. Then the book was closed, and repaged to page 34, which remained dogeared. Similar trials were attempted, including small incisions, exposure to water, and exposure to fire, all of which resulted in a retention of the alterations. A 1cm x 1cm corner of page 34, SCP-4394-A, was cut off and put through chemical analysis, which suggests origin in the Northeast Americas, and a time of publishing between 199█ and 200█.]
Addendum: Until further notice, no further applications are accepted for researching SCP-4394, as appointments fill up the entirety of the coming 3 years. Furthermore, if you miss three appointments, all of your upcoming appointments are voided, no exceptions. -Dr. Johanus Brooks, Site Director.
Object #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX should be contained in a bare 5m3 cell. When being transported, personnel must wear hazmat suits. At no time may any humans come in direct contact with instances of SCP-XXXX.
Special Containment procedures following incident SCP-XXXX-CB: Instances of SCP-XXXX should be contained in a bare 5m3 cell, with 5m of lead surrounding the cell. A CCTV must be installed, and the feed monitored at all times. Instances SCP-XXXX may no longer be transported, except by authorization by the Site Director. At no time may any humans come in direct contact with instances of SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a species of medium-sized organisms. They are roughly cubed shaped, and have the ability to mimic the color and texture of a variety of materials on their uppermost surface to avoid detection. They use this ability to hide from predators and prey. They are carnivorous, and subsist solely on human prey. Thus, they live exclusively in office buildings, apartment buildings, sidewalks, and other areas with heavy foot traffic. When they sense prey above them, they can alter the fluidity of their bodies to be like quicksand. Once the subject is enveloped, they are digested. Their means of locomotion is unknown, nor their means of reproduction. It seems that they have some cognitive ability, as it is able to wait for a lone prey before attacking, thus avoiding being overpowered by a group. However, all attempts at communication have failed. They are a very rare species, but the total population cannot be reliably determined. Currently ██ instances are in containment, in various sites along the Eastern Seaboard.
Origin: The first recorded instance of SCP-XXXX was on 11/4/201█, in ██ ███ ███, New York. The instance appeared in Apartment █-█ in Site 28. The intruder alarms were not activated, and in video logs it is impossible to determine when in appeared in the room. It consumed two subjects, construction worker ██ ███ and D-4555, before it was able to be located and contained. Currently, this instance in contained in Site-28.
Transcript from video recording first instance of SCP-XXXX:
Date: 11/4/201█ 3:32pm
██ ███: What's the hell? My leg's stuck. Hmmf. Hey! Hey! Is anyone there? Shit. Hmmf. Hmmf. Shit shit shit shit shit. HEY! HEY ANYONE! HELP ME! HELP! Aaagh- (garbled, as his head is submerged)
Date: 11/4/201█ 3:40pm
D-4555: Ok man, I'll go in there. Whaddya want me to do, just walk around? Alright.
Date: 11/4/201█ 3:42pm
D-4555: Hey, my leg's stuck. What the hell? Hey guys, help me! I'm stuck!
Director Fieldston: Shit, what the hell?
D-4555: Help! Help! Hel- (garbled, as his head is submerged).
Incident SCP-XXXX-CB:
Report by Dr. ███.
32 days after discovery of SCP-XXXX, Agent ██ discovered that it was missing while feeding it. An extensive search was immediately undertaken. It was eventually discovered in Apartment █-█. There were no casualties, but updated had to be made to the containment procedures. It is still unknown how SCP-XXXX escaped containment, but it has not happened since.
