Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 is to be contained in a secure Foundation lockbox within the Site 87 Safe-Class Long-Term Storage vaults.

SCP-XXXX-2 is to be contained in the briefcase it was recovered in, a 36.775576 x 27.552356 x 11.567843 cm black steel briefcase that anomalously maintains an interior temperature of exactly 45.335563 degrees Centigrade. SCP-XXXX-2 is to be removed from containment only within a room that maintains a constant, exact temperature of 45.335563 degrees Centigrade.

Further testing on SCP-XXXX-2 has been banned by order of the Overseer Council.

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a sheet of standard A1 size white printer paper, showing signs of heavy wear and weathering, including torn edges, holes and yellow discoloration. Printed on it in 8pt Avenir typeface is a recipe that, when successfully completed, creates SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 is anomalous only in the nonsensical actions, extremely precise quantities and ingredients called for, many of which are immeasurably precise using any currently available technology, or are simply unobtainable on Earth. SCP-XXXX-1 has only been completed by Foundation personnel once, detailed below.

Attempts at creating SCP-XXXX-2 from the recipe have almost all met with failure for a variety of reasons:

  • Attempting to substitute a nearly-identical compound caused the mixture to evaporate instantaneously.
  • Boiling the mixture at .0000001 degree above the called-for temperature resulted in a violent explosion and the death of the Junior Researcher attempting it.
  • Boiling the mixture at the correct temperature, but for .0001 milliseconds too long resulted in the mixture anomalously freezing solid, then shattering.
  • Introducing .000000012 milliliters less than the called-for amount of a compound created a small rift in reality, resulting the disappearance of the mixture and 76% of the biomass of the D-class personnel attempting the recipe.
  • Stirring the mixture for .0000002 seconds too long caused it to anomalously levitate up to the ceiling of the laboratory, then vanish.
  • Stirring the mixture with a stir-stick of the improper material dissolved the entire stir-stick and the arm of the D-class personnel attempting the recipe in less that one one millionth of a nanosecond.

SCP-XXXX-2 is the result of a successfully completely SCP-XXXX-1 recipe. To date, the recipe has not been completed, but a small vial of SCP-XXXX-2 was recovered along with SCP-XXXX-1 and an attached note, detailed below.

Testing on SCP-XXXX-2 in a strictly controlled environment, as described in the attached note, revealed a number of previously unknown and often chemically impossible compounds believe to be the source of SCP-XXXX-2's anomalous properties. To date, three of them have been isolated and recreated, but none have displayed any anomalous properties of their own.

Ingestion of 2.256476557 mL of SCP-XXXX-2, per the attached note, by a D-class personnel resulted in the subject gaining complete, unrestricted omnipotence and omniscience for exactly two (2) hours, after which the effects faded and the subject returned to normal. During this time, the subject was interviewed and revealed crucial information on the function and containment procedures of ███ other SCPs, displayed complete knowledge of ██ Thaumiel-class SCPs, pinpointed the locations of ██ previously unknown SCPs (all of which have been recovered and contained) and successfully completed a batch of SCP-XXXX-2, which was placed into containment with the original sample. Subject showed no changes in personality, and seemed to regard his newfound omnipotence with mild curiosity until it wore off, which prompted him to express mild disappointment. Subject was administered Class B amnestics after testing concluded.

Ingestion of any amount other than the precise, specified amount results in immediate, instantaneous necrosis of 100% of the subjects biomass. ██ D-class personnel died in this way before the proper amount was achieved.

Addendum XXXX-1:

Below is a copy of SCP-XXXX-1, with key ingredients and quantities omitted by order of the Overseer Council. '⇀' symbols denote that the number continues on, and the full number has been omitted.

  1. Before we begin, please ensure your workspace is suitable. The ambient temperature must be between 22.4 and 23.1 degrees Centigrade. Perform all mixing in a pure quartz crystal bowl. Perform all heating with electric coils, no gas.
  2. Start with 1247.355654⇀ mL of pure water. Absolutely no impurities.
  3. Mix in .00004044402 mL of pure Fenestrane. Use only a sterling silver spoon created in November 1945.
  4. Thoroughly dry the spoon off and chill it to -35.67 degrees Centigrade.
  5. Partially submerge the spoon in the mixture, such that 11.664⇀ millimeters of the back of the spoon are above the liquid and still dry.
  6. Place once perfect cube of of 22-karat gold on the back of the spoon, measuring 3.33333⇀ on each side, and allow it to rest for 11 seconds on the dot, then remove it.
  7. Place the mixture on an electric coil burner at 77.4999459⇀ degrees Centigrade, then wait 543 seconds before removing it from the heat.

  11. Bring exactly 1 gram of [REDACTED] within ██.█████████████ meters of the mixture. Allow it to remain for three nanoseconds before removing it.
  12. [DATA EXPUNGED]
  13. Throw the mixture in the trash, then retrieve it and place it in a fresh quartz crystal bowl.
  14. Wait fourteen minutes.
  15. Ubilise iinqunithi ezili-12 zeelmon.1
  16. Dilute the mixture in 1.22534⇀ L of human blood, type G.2
  17. Sieve the mixture though a fine mesh made of weapons-grade Plutonium-239.
  18. Put on a hazmat suit.
  19. Play the entirety of the 1945 Broadway musical 'Carousel' on a vinyl record and phonograph manufactured in the same year. Must be played at precisely 67 dB, within twelve meters of the mixture.
  20. Ship the mixture to [REDACTED].

Addendum XXXX-2:
Below is a copy of the note attached to SCP-XXXX-2 upon retrieval, contained in a plain letter envelope addressed to the Foundation as a whole.

To whom it may concern within the Foundation,

First of all, let me apologize for creating this mixture. It should not exist, and, indeed, can't exist in your reality. However, my superiors decreed that it should be introduced to your reality, in an effort to sow chaos among your citizens and potentially [REDACTED], (please refer to High Guild Order #554676-12), and I am contractually obliged to follow their orders.

Secondly, a brief description of this mixture. In my native realm, it is entirely unremarkable, sold nearly everywhere as a mild, legal narcotic, known as [REDACTED]. In your reality, based on our estimations, it will grant the imbiber nearly unlimited power over reality. While I'm not entirely sure of the differences between our realities that lead to this drastic shift in function, my superiors are very much aware of this difference, and it seems to be their sole reason for introducing [REDACTED] to your reality.

In an attempt to restrict the spread and usage of [REDACTED] in your reality, I have opted to defy my orders and deliver directly to the Foundation. I am confident you will be able to fully contain this, the only sample of [REDACTED], and prevent it from reaching the masses.

The attached recipe should be technically possible within your reality, but not at your current level of technology. Many of the ingredients are found exclusively in my home reality, and many of the steps require abilities you humans do not possess.

If you have any questions or complaints about the recipe or [REDACTED], please attempt to contact the High Guild via [DATA EXPUNGED]

Thank you, and good luck.
-[REDACTED], High Guild Emissary to Reality Z-4456.
