SCP-XXXX-1 ignited by SCP-XXXX
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX-1 is to be stored in a confined space with an ambient temperature exceeding 511.7 °C at all times. SCP-XXXX-1 is currently stored in a hermetically sealed thermal chamber with an internal temperature maintained at 520 °C at Outpost 143. Any decrease in the temperature of the chamber is to be reverted and reported to Site director Dr. Welton immideately.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon that makes materials react to temperature in opposite ways to that of natural counterparts, inversed at their melting point. Affected materials lacking a melting point in 100 kPa instead have thermal reactions inversed at their kindling point, in addition to igniting and extinguishing in opposite conditions to that of natural counterparts. Even in the absence of oxygen, such objects combust via anomalous oxidation producing a fire with green flames.
Surfaces in a solid state while in immediate proximity of this oxidation are permanently affected by SCP-XXXX, followed by near instant melting or ignition. Without oxidation present, affected objects are still able to spread the phenomenon to nearby material of roughly matching chemical makeup, capable of collapsing multistory structures within hours. The spread rate and range of SCP-XXXX increases linearly with cold.
Like natural fire, SCP-XXXX depletes oxygen and vaporizes liquid water, making it especially lethal to most organisms. SCP-XXXX does not produce heat, making damage solely inflicted by chemical reactions.
SCP-XXXX-1 is an oak log affected by SCP-XXXX, with the autoignition temperature of Quercus robur (common oak) at 511.7 °C as its thermal inverse point. It is currently the only affected object in containment after incident [REDACTED].
Addendum-XXXX-A: Discovery and Recovery Log
SCP-XXXX-1 was discovered on ██/██/████ after the Foundation recieved unusual █ at █. Mobile Task Force █-█ ("█") was sent to investigate the area and found █ to be in the process of melting despite freezing temperatures upon arrival. █ has since been repurposed as Outpost 143.
Method of retrieval consisted of making a makeshift bonfire out of spruce(repeatedly lighting matches and keeping them in contact with SCP-XXXX-1) to successfully keep it extinguished and negate anomalous ignition.
Addendum-XXXX-B: Attempted Containment Procedures LogThe following procedures were conducted by extinguishing SCP-XXXX-1 with a remote flamethrower immediately before sealing SCP-XXXX-1 in different chambers.
| Procedure | Results |
|---|---|
| SCP-XXXX-1 is stored in a hermetically sealed water chamber. | SCP-XXXX-1 combusts and vaporizes surrounding water before melting its chamber walls. |
| SCP-XXXX-1 is stored in a hermetically sealed vacuum chamber. | SCP-XXXX-1 combusts and fills the vacuum with pure carbon and hydrogen before melting its chamber walls. |
| SCP-XXXX-1 is stored in a hermetically sealed thermal chamber at 520 °C. | SCP-XXXX-1 remains extinguished. |
The procedure for each test entailed placing SCP-XXXX-1 in contact with the following materials in room temperature:
| Test # | Matierial | Results |
|---|---|---|
| XXXX-1 | Glass | Glass melts and assumes a cyan hue. |
| XXXX-2 | Carbon | Carbon combusts in green flames. |
| XXXX-3 | Water | Water vaporizes. |
| XXXX-4 | Ice | Ice hardens and assumes a red hue, consistent with SCP-009. |
Addendum-XXXX-D: Judging by Test XXXX-4, it's only shy of a miracle it wasn't snowing during recovery of SCP-XXXX. -Dr. Welton

Genre
Horror, Tragedy
Elevator Pitch
A phenomenon that "swaps" affected materials' temperatures in which it becomes solid or liquid, (aka melting metals while crystalizing water in room temperature). Flammable materials instead ignite in opposite conditions to what's natural (aka combusting in freezing/room temperature or in water/vacuum and can only be extinguished by natural fire or over time in extreme heat.)
Central Narrative
Hook
A reading about tragic futility with an ironic solution (extinguishing fire with fire),
flipping typical precautions on its head related to fire-hazards.
