Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX should be kept in a standard ursine wildlife enclosure at Site 129. No material more dense than 15.0 g/mL is to be located in within 2 km of SCP-XXXX's containment unless it is part of SCP-XXXX's daily meals.
SCP-XXXX is to be fed 30kg of lead every 4 hours. Diet can be adjusted to include other substances with a density of 11g/mL or greater in the event of a shortage. Personnel must measure the total transmittance1 of SCP-XXXX every 2 hours using a specially designed Haze meter. Protocol “Iron Jaw” is to be enacted in the event SCP-XXXX refuses to eat for 6 hours or its total transmittance is greater than 30%.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a member of the species Ursus americanus kermodei, also known as the Kermode bear, weighing a maximum of 120.0kg.2 SCP-XXXX can consume and digest any liquid or solid matter.3 It shows no ill effects of consuming or inhaling hazardous substances. Wounds inflicted on SCP-XXXX heal once it has consumed a mass equivalent to the mass of the damaged or missing tissue. Experiments indicate SCP-XXXX produce exclusively gaseous waste products excreted through the epidermis. The composition of the excretions is identical to the air surrounding SCP-XXXX. While it does breathe automatically, the contents of inhalations and exhalations are identical, suggesting that breathing is not a necessary function.
SCP-XXXX's weight decreases at a minimum rate of 5.0 kg per hour, requiring it to consume an equivalent amount in order to maintain a constant weight. SCP-XXXX will become more transparent and aggressive if its weight is allowed to decrease. At 80.0 kg,4 SCP-XXXX will be able to phase through solid material. The speed it can do this increases the less SCP-XXXX weighs and decreases for denser material.
SCP-XXXX can consume solid material it is phasing through, causing the material to disappear inside itself. However, SCP-XXXX will not consume enough material that it loses the ability to phase through matter while doing so, and cannot consume more material than necessary to reach a 120.0kg weight using this method.
Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered in 2008 by Foundation agents investigating paranormal claims surrounding the Kitsault mine in British Colombia, Canada. Agents found SCP-XXXX consuming the mine's supply of molybdenum ore. Agents used this ore to lure SCP-XXXX off site and into a transport for containment.
The Foundation has since bought the mine and secured the cooperation of the owner of the nearby ghost town associated with the mine for use as Site-129.
Addendum: Incident Report 1
Three weeks after initial containment SCP-XXXX breached containment by significantly increasing the rate at which its body is converted into gas. After 5 minutes, SCP-XXXX phased through the containment walls. SCP-XXXX accessed the office of Dr. ████ and ate the platinum engagement ring Dr. ████ had left on the desk, along with several other items in the office. SCP-XXXX then made it's way to the containment cell of SCP-████ and began eating the platinum that was part of its containment. SCP-XXXX was lured back into its containment cell using a sample of platinum acquired off site. SCP-████ was relocated to a different site.
Addendum experiment log XXXX:
Date: ██/██/████
Rationale: Determine the extent of SCP-XXXX's ability to consume dangerous substancesProcedure: SCP-XXXX was given 20 kg of osmium in an air tight cell while monitoring air pressure and composition for 3 hours.
Results: SCP-XXXX experienced severe inflammation due to osmium tetraoxide forming inside the cell. Inflammation faded as it ate, and returned shortly after all osmium was consumed.
Notes: Subsequent tests with SCP-XXXX are to be done in an environment with only inert gases present.
Date: ██/██/████
Rationale: Determine if waste products of SCP-XXXX determine on composition of surrounding air.Procedure: SCP-XXXX was fed 20 kg of osmium over a 3 hour period in an air tight cell filled with 101325 Pa of pure nitrogen gas while monitoring air pressure and composition.
Results: The mass of air increased by 15kg. Air composition remained the same. SCP-XXXX shows no side effects of lack of oxygen.
Notes: SCP-XXXX's gaseous waste remains identical to the air around it. This is possibly a camouflaging mechanism.
Date: ██/██/████
Rationale: Determine if SCP-XXXX can produce gaseous class C amnesiac.Procedure: SCP-XXXX was fed 20 kg of osmium over a 3 hour period in an air tight cell filled with 101325 Pa of subject while monitoring air pressure and composition.
Results: The mass of air increased by 15kg. SCP-XXXX shows no side effects of lack of oxygen. Analysis of the air composition reveals the extra 15kg of gases were of identical composition to the atmosphere of the Earth.
Notes: It seems there's a limit to what SCP-XXXX can create. More tests may be required.
Date: ██/██/████
Rationale: Analysis of samples from SCP-XXXX.
Procedure: Approximately 0.1 kg of hair was trimmed from SCP-XXXX for analysis.
Results: Samples began to reduce in mass and completely evaporated 2.4 minutes after being cut from SCP-XXXX. The samples were gone before analysis could be preformed.

Kitsault is the only mine location within the territory of Kermode bears. The town associated with the mine was built in 1979. It turned into a ghost town in 1982 when the price of molybdenum fell. It was only lived in for about 18 months.
The Cantung Mine and the future Mactung Mine is and will be large supplies of Tungsten in the Yukon and Northwestern Territory. It is not in the Kermode habitat, but is in the territory of black bears, grizzly bears, and polar bears.
The Giant Mascot Mine in Hope, Canada is the only mine that had platinum in British Colombia. It is closed and not in Kermode bear territory.
Assuming that the weight of Earth's crust is 2.6 * 10^22 kilograms and that tungsten in 1.5 parts per million, there is enough tungsten to feed this bear for 31.92 years. Average lifespan is 10 years, but they can live up to 30 years. Consider allowing lead into the bear's diet, which is 11.35g/cm^3. Molybdenum is 10.28 g/cm^3.
Black bears are smaller and more curious than grizzly bears.
Bears have a great sense of smell, but most/all metals don't have a smell (unless they are reacting with something to produce something that does have a smell).
The town was bought in 2004 or 2005 by Krishnan Suthanthiran, which was made public in 2005. In 2008, Avanti Mining Inc, a subsidiary of Alloycorp Mining Inc, bought the mine and planned to reopen it. Suthanthiran wanted nothing to do with the mine's operation and tried to prevent them from passing through it. They went to court and Suthanthiran lost. Sometime in 2015, the company was having problems with restoring and opening the mine. According to this source, the mine was shut down and many workers were laid off.
Things to consider: The SCP was found in the Kitsault mine which had been reopened, but has closed again. The town associated with the mine was evacuated in 1982 after 18 months of existence. The town was bought in 2004 and has not been open to tourists but has been maintained. This could make for a possible Foundation site.
Alternative: The SCP is a species of bear. The town is a Foundation site that has been bought as a location to monitor the population of bears nearby for anomalies.
Title: A Hungry Ghost Bear (nickname not final)
Summary: An SCP that eats its weight in… anything, every day or it will fade and disappear completely.
Concept: The SCP is a 120 kg bear that can eat any solid or liquid matter. Its body converts its own mass into air at a minimum rate of 5 kg per hour, requiring it to eat at the same rate in order to maintain a constant weight. Since its nutritional requirements depend solely on the mass of the food, it prefers to eat the densest materials available.
As its weight decreases from not eating, the bear will become more transparent, and eventually be able to phase through walls. It can also "eat" whatever material is it phasing through but won't "eat" so much using this method that it loses the ability (so it can't get stuck in a wall).
The main issue with containment is that whenever it senses something extremely dense nearby like platinum or osmium, it will convert more of its own mass into air so it can phase through the containment walls to find it.
Things that are still a work in progress: Currently, the SCP's species is the Kermode bear, or spirit bear, since spirits and ghosts are typically portrayed as partially transparent. I wanted the SCP to be found somewhere like a mining site with lots of dense ore. The only mining facility I found in the Kermode bear's habitat is the Kitsault mine, which deals with Tungsten, which is very dense, and molybdenum, which is a little less dense than lead.
Interestingly, there's a ghost town nearby with the same name. This town was built for the mine workers in 1979 but was completely deserted by 1982 when the price of molybdenum fell. The ghost town was bought by someone in 2004 and has been kept in good condition, but it's been closed to tourists and any visitors. The mine is owned by someone else, and they planned to reopen it in 2017, but the research I've done suggests it's closed. I feel like the town and maybe the mine could make for an interesting Foundation site, and I haven't seen any sites located in Canada.
However, I’m not really sure how I should go about including the town as part of the document, or whether it’s a good idea to explicitly mention a real location in an SCP article.
Seeking Bluelights: Yes
Page Type: SCP Article
Elevator Pitch: A road where a car will materialize and run you over if you attempt to cross said road without looking both ways first or by running across. The car's 2 inhabitants are very distressed about the situation.
Central Narrative: It details the experimental process of learning about the SCP and the individuals trapped by it. Our protagonist, the researcher tasked with experimenting on this SCP, experiments in order to help the car's occupants and hopefully get them out. However, they are hampered by their boss, who keeps changing our protagonist's documentation behind their back and seems to have a vendetta against the car's driver and passenger.
Hook/Attention-Grabber: I wanted to write about people who are reasonable and good at their job, and don't do things that are unreasonably cruel or stupid. I personally find how formally passive-aggressive the researcher is. They are very fun to write.
Additional Notes: I haven't decided on the reason why the site director is acting the way they do. The current plan is that they knew someone that the car ran over before the SCP was contained. Whatever the reason is should be something that wouldn't immediately come up after about a day's worth of investigating the identities of the people in the car and the people who have already been run over.
Things to figure out before submitting a draft:
Maybe add something in the containment procedures about fences around the area and that any building in the area were vacated. The Foundation doesn't want any civilians seeing the experiments.
Figure out where the road should be. It should be a road with a traffic cam and enough pedestrian traffic that multiple people died in the month before the anomaly was discovered.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and the surrounding block is permanently closed to all civilian traffic. Staff masquerading as construction workers are to be present and prevent pedestrians and vehicles from accessing SCP-XXXX.
Staff are advised to not cross SCP-XXXX unnecessarily. When attempting to cross SCP-XXX, staff first look both ways and then must cross without stopping at their preferred walking speed. Attempting to skip, gallop, or run across SCP-XXXX will result in disciplinary action.
Sighting of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be monitored via several high-speed cameras placed along the length of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be manifested once a month to throw supplies of food and water through the open window. for SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3. Objects used to manifest SCP-XXXX-1 that risk damage SCP-XXXX-1's exterior or harm to the occupants must be covered in soft padding. Due to safety concerns, objects sitting on SCP-XXXX can not be retrieved. For details on the approved throwing procedure, see Document 1-A.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 50 m stretch of a road located in Anytown, SomeCountry. Attempts to cross SCP-XXXX without looking both ways or while going faster than a walking pace will cause the appearance of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 is a car of a certain make and model that materializes on SCP-XXXX traveling at approximately 95 kilometers per hour. Immediately after it appears, SCP-XXXX-1 will collide with any entity crossing SCP-XXXX and will disappear upon reaching the end of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1 can also manifest should a person who does not meet the criteria to cross SCP-XXXX safely throws an object in the path of SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 contains a driver designated SCP-XXXX-2 and one passenger in the front seat designated SCP-XXXX-3. SCP-XXXX-2 is a male identified as John Doe and SCP-XXXX-3 is a female identified as Jane Smith. Jane Smith was reported missing on March 25, 20XX, two days after SCP-XXXX anomalous properties began to manifest. Police investigation found evidence of a breakdown and signs of a struggle at Jane Smith's address.

SUBJECT: RE: RE: Requesting Experiment ApprovalThe documentation provided in your previous email does not match the original experimental procedure I gave you. The original set of experiments began with tests meant to establish whether inanimate objects thrown across SCP-XXXX could cause SCP-XXXX-1 to manifest. In the documentation you approved, these experiments appeared to be cut, instead starting off using D-class. You did not report these changes in your recommendations sections nor mention any changes made to the original procedures.
The use of D-class is not appropriate in this case as it is contrary to the purpose of these experiments. There is a month's worth of traffic cam footage showing SCP-XXXX-1 running over people. It was this footage that led to the discovery of SCP-XXXX in the first place and allowed our research team to determine what commonalities caused SCP-XXXX-1 to manifest. Using D-class in these experiments is unlikely to reveal any new insight that the traffic cam has not already provided. The speed at which a human walks is also more difficult to control for and is less precise than the methods in the original documentation. It is much easier to set a tennis ball launcher to fire at 10m/s than to get a human to travel at that exact speed, hence why methods that allow better control over the independent variables must be ruled out first.
I have attached to this document the original experimental procedures and the approved documentation you send in your previous email. The differences between the original have been highlighted in the approved documentation.

SUBJECT: RE: RE: RE: Requesting Experiment ApprovalThere was concern over wasting resources, which is why there were changes present in the approved experiments. After careful consideration, the original iteration of the planned experiments have been approved and my approval has been added in the attached document. Although some new researchers are a little squeamish against using D-class experiments, they are an important tool for determining the properties of SCPs.
I would also recommend coming to me if you have any issues before notifying other departments.

SUBJECT: RE: RE: RE: RE: Requesting Experiment ApprovalThank you for your approval. I was not informed of any concerns over resources. Can you clarify what exactly those concerns are? I would be more than happy to clear up any questions or concerns about the experiments.
I will point out that my problems with using D-class are due to practical concerns. Having to remove cadavers from the road between each experiment will require a lot more time and have a greater safety risk than the original experiments. This would cause more expenses in terms of money and time, not less. Repeatedly hitting SCP-XXXX-1 with objects as heavy as a person will also do more damage to it. If there are to be any future experiments, we will have to have a way to trigger the anomaly while doing a minimum amount of damage.

Addendum: Experiment Log XXXX-1
Date: ██/██/████
Rationale: Determine the level of human involvement required for manifestation of SCP-XXXX-1.
Experiment 1-A
Procedure: Tennis ball launcher fires a tennis ball at the same speed and arc as previous experiment. Researcher setting up launcher ran toward SCP-XXXX while holding the launcher and stopped at the edge of SCP-XXXX, then immediately placed the launcher on the ground and turned it on. Researcher did not look at both ends of SCP-XXXX during setup.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 did not manifest.
Notes: Dr. Smith is no longer allowed to touch Dr. Researcher's tennis ball launcher due to very precarious handling. The manner in which it was held during the experiment could have easily caused him to drop the launcher and damage it in the process.
Experiment 1-A1
Procedure: Tennis ball launcher fires a tennis ball at 10m/s across SCP-XXXX. The researcher setting up launcher did not look at both ends of SCP-XXXX during setup.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 did not manifest.
Experiment 1-B
Procedure: Researcher jogs toward SCP-XXXX and throws tennis ball across SCP-XXXX once they were 2 meters away. Researcher did not look both ways prior to throwing.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 manifested. The tennis ball hit the front window next to SCP-XXXX-3. SCP-XXXX-3 appeared startled when the tennis ball hit the window.
Experiment 1-B1
Procedure: Researcher throws tennis ball across SCP-XXXX. Researcher did not look both ways prior to throwing.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 manifested. The windows facing the researchers were all open. On high speed camera, SCP-XXXX-3 is seen catching the tennis ball.
Experiment 1-B2
Procedure: Researcher throws tennis ball across SCP-XXXX 1 second after looking at both ends of SCP-XXXX.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 did not manifest.
Experiment 1-B3
Procedure: Researcher throws tennis ball across SCP-XXXX 1 second after looking at both ends of SCP-XXXX while running.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 manifested. The windows facing the researchers were all open. SCP-XXXX-3 threw the tennis ball from experiment 1-B1 back at the researchers.
Experiment 1-B4
Procedure: Staff member throws tennis ball across SCP-XXXX again.The arc of the tennis ball was high enoug that it would fly over SCP-XXXX-1 if it manifested. Researcher did not look both ways prior to throwing.Results: SCP-XXXX-1 did not manifest.
Notes: From this set of experiments, it has been determined that inanimate objects can cause SCP-XXXX-1 to manifest if a person who does not meet the criteria to cross SCP-XXXX safely throws the inanimate object in SCP-XXXX-1's path.
Addendum: Emails 2: Electric Boogaloo
FROM: Dr. Researcher
TO: Director Site Director
SUBJECT: Procedure for SCP-XXXX-1 manifestationAttached to this email is the procedure for manifesting SCP-XXXX-1. It contains details of the appropriate speed and arc to throw objects to manifest SCP-XXXX-1 and deposit items inside for its occupants. Additional specifications for what can be thrown are given in order to minimize damage to SCP-XXXX-1 and the chance of harming its occupants.
It is important that this documentation is readily available as my team plan to regularly manifest for future experiments, such as establishing a means of interviewing SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3.

SUBJECT: RE: RE: Procedure for SCP-XXXX-1 manifestationYesterday, we talked about some of the issues with the procedure added to the SCP-XXXX file, and you agreed that they should be fixed promptly. As the issue has not yet been resolved, I am sending this email as a reminder to make sure this issue is fixed soon.
As per our talk yesterday. I pointed out that the documentation that was added was different from the documentation that was created by my research team. i have attached both the original and the version added to the SCP-XXXX file, noting the differences between both of them if you need a clearer picture of what I am talking about.
Several specifications designed to minimize damage to SCP-XXXX-1 and harm to SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3 have been removed, and the maximum speed allowed to safety throw objects to SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3 is increased compared to the original.
It is of vital importance that the documentation for dealing with SCP is accurate, especially where safety is concerned.
I would like to be emailed when the situation is fixed.

Addendum: Document XXXX-2
Items delivered: Communication device and wireless timer.
Results: Connection between communication device was lost once SCP-XXXX-1 demanifested. Connection was only reestablished when SCP-XXXX-1 manifested again one hour later. Timer data suggests that time continues to pass inside of SCP-XXXX-1 after demanifestation at a slower rate, where 1 hour between manifestation is 1 minute for the passengers.
Items delivered: 5 sheets of lined paper, 2 pencils, a set of questions and instructions, 3 water bottles, and food.
Results SCP-XXXX-1 manifestation achieved. After manifesting SCP-XXXX-1 again in 5 hours, the output package was thrown out by SCP-XXXX-3.
Future: Dr. Researcher attempts to get approval to fund a project that could potentially remove SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-3 from SCP-XXXX-1. They argue that they can build a software that will hack the car and drive it automatically. Once it's installed, they can make SCP-XXXX-1 manifest and then build something that would allow the passengers to jump out safely. Objects thrown out of SCP-XXXX-1, even ones that were inside when the anomaly started, don't demanifest, including clumps of hair from the passengers. So, they can get the passengers out without destroying the anomaly.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be under constant surveillance by SCP Foundation program "Free Range Containment". In the event SCP-XXXX rediscovers its anomalous properties, it must be recaptured and administered amnestics appropriate for the period of time between SCP-XXXX rediscovering its anomalous properties and its capture.
The observation team must ensure that SCP-XXXX wears shoes while outside and that its feet never come into contact with the ground or any surface that is considered a floor without wearing shoes.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a human female named TKNameHere living in TKLocation. Whenever SCP-XXXX attempts to walk, a Lego will materialize under its foot before it contacts the ground. This property is nullified if SCP-XXXX is wearing shoes.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties were discovered by a Foundation Agent overhearing a conversation between SCP-XXXX and an unknown individual at a bar in TKLocation. The Agent reported that SCP-XXXX appeared intoxicated, and was trying to convince the unknown individual that its anomaly was real. SCP-XXXX was put under a brief period of surveillance, and was amnestitized once its anomalous properties were confirmed.
Before Foundation intervention, SCP-XXXX would wear shoes for nearly all activities, and take great care to avoid contacting the ground via the soles of its feet.
Addendum Observation Team Logs:
Log 1 - SCP-XXXX's slippers get wet, but instead of just taking them off, SCP-XXXX goes to their closet to put on a different pair of shoes before cleaning up the water. Reviewing observation tapes reveals that SCP-XXXX rediscovered its anomaly in the middle of the night.
Log 2 - SCP-XXXX changes shoes while lying on its back, which is a technique that it used before Foundation observation. SCP-XXXX was recaptured and subsequent investigation shows that it had rediscovered its anomalous properties while in the shower. After SCP-XXXX was released, observation team sabotaged SCP-XXXX's shower.
Log 3 - SCP-XXXX decides to go swimming at the pool. The observation team deemed the activity risked rediscovery and preemptively closed the pool for maintenance before SCP-XXXX arrived.
Log 4 - Observation team staged an accident in which both of SCP-XXXX's legs were broken, requiring it to wear a cast on both legs. It was determined that casts have the same nullifying properties of shoes. No rediscovery incidents occurred during the 2 month period SCP-XXXX wore the casts.
Log 5 - Observation team requested permission to stage an accident that would cut off SCP-XXXX's legs. This request was denied as it risked destroying the anomaly.
Memo from observation team leader: I have been getting several requests to end containment of SCP-XXXX. Usually from staff claiming that the SCP can contain the anomaly itself. However, those people forget how we discovered the anomaly in the first place. We can't trust the SCP to contain its own anomaly because it isn't going to keep it a secret. Our team has yet to locate the individual that SCP-XXXX told about its anomaly. If we stop now, who will prevent SCP-XXXX from posting a video online about its anomaly? Maintaining the masquerade means the general public can't know about the anomalous, and if SCP-XXXX is going to be part of the general public, then it can't know either.
Neutralization: On TKDate, the unknown individual was seen entering SCP-XXXX's home. Once they were inside, the observation team was unable to enter and apprehend them. Cameras and listening devices planted in SCP-XXXX's home ceased functioning. Approximately 1 hour later, the unknown individual exited SCP-XXXX's dwelling and was apprehended by the observation team.
The individual was identified as a Global Occult Coalition operative. The GOC agent confirmed that they had discovered a way to remove SCP-XXXX's anomaly and did so at its request. The agent was released from custody and SCP-XXXX's observation team was dissolved.
