Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation has collaborated with NASA to make sure no images of SCP-XXXX-B exist on the internet, which ensures Foundation secrecy. If any pictures of SCP-XXXX-B do appear, Foundation web trackers are to remove the image and give amnestics to the discovering persons.
SCP-XXXX-A are contained by mass application of Class-C amnestics. Due to the large number of SCP-XXXX-A instances, containment of SCP-XXXX-A is currently unfeasible. Contact with SCP-XXXX-C must be made in order to assess their threat level, if any. Contact with SCP-XXXX-C should not be made in the future to avoid an unreasonably high risk of personnel loss.
Description: SCP-XXXX-A represents all humans who believe in a theory commonly known as the "Flat Earth Theory" (SCP-XXXX). Humans can become SCP-XXXX-A instances by convincing themselves that the theory is the truth, and that the Earth actually is flat. It is estimated that at █/██/19, there are █,███,000 instances of SCP-XXXX-A.
SCP-XXXX-A instances will convene at various Flat Earth conventions and events, making each other believe in the Flat Earth theory more. SCP-XXXX-A instances will also generally have lower intelligence and dexterity than normal humans, with other effects similar to being mildly intoxicated.
Experiment XXXX-A29: Testing on becoming an SCP-XXXX-A instance.
Materials: Dr. █████, D-3246, D-9946, D-4591, Various resources on the Flat Earth Theory.
Test 1: D-3246 was given lectures by D-4591, using the resources given, until D-3246 became an SCP-XXXX-A instance.
Results: After 34 minutes and 54 seconds, D-3246 slumped over and started speaking in a low voice about various Flat Earth ideas. Test stopped, subject was confirmed to be an SCP-XXXX-A instance via behavioral analysis.
Test 2: D-9946 (5 years old) was given lectures by D-4591, using the resources given, until D-9946 became an SCP-XXXX-A instance.
Results: After 6 minutes and 24 seconds, D-9946 slumped over and started speaking excitedly about various Flat Earth ideas. Test stopped, subject was confirmed to be an SCP-XXXX-A instance via behavioral analysis. The lessened time is most likely due to D-9946 weaker ideas on geography
Test 3: D-3246 (confirmed SCP-XXXX-A instance) was allowed to converse with D-4591 until D-4591 became an SCP-XXXX-A instance.
Results: After 29 minutes and 11 seconds, D-3246 slumped over, and was confirmed to be an SCP-XXXX-A instance through behavioral analysis. SCP-XXXX-A instances seem to be marginally better at creating SCP-XXXX-A instances than normal humans.
Conclusion: Conversion time of SCP-XXXX-A depends on many factors, such as age, previous exposure to SCP-XXXX-A instances, and if the convincer is an SCP-XXXX-A instance itself.

Artist interpretation of SCP-XXXX-B, original image taken by Foundation satellite ██-███
Description: SCP-XXXX-B is a previously undiscovered planet in the Neptunian region of the Solar System, which for all intents and purposes is a flat replica of Earth. Orbital characteristics of SCP-XXXX-B can be found [REDACTED]. Measurements and images taken by Foundation satellite ██-███ indicate that SCP-XXXX-B is roughly 550km in radius and 5.5km in thickness. It is unknown how SCP-XXXX-B stays in its flat shape when a normal body of that size would collapse back into a sphere. Through observations from a Foundation lander, SCP-XXXX-C have been observed on the surface of SCP-XXXX-B.
Landmasses on SCP-XXXX-B roughly line up with appropriate landmasses on Earth, though at a smaller scale due to SCP-XXXX-B's small size. The surface of SCP-XXXX-B is only composed of crust-like materials, and has roughly the same concentration of elements as Earth's crust. SCP-XXXX-B has roughly 9.8m/s2 of gravity, though it is unknown where this gravity comes from. It is also unknown how gravity stays equal along SCP-XXXX-B's surface, and how nothing has "fallen off" of SCP-XXXX-B.
..
Description: SCP-XXXX-C are humanoid entities that live on the surface of SCP-XXXX-B. Each SCP-XXXX-C represents one instance of SCP-XXXX-A, looking and acting identically to their respective SCP-XXXX-A. Additionally, any change occurring to an SCP-XXXX-A instance will also happen to the corresponding SCP-XXXX-C instance, and vice versa. How this occurs instantly across interplanetary distances is unknown.
SCP-XXXX-C have the anomalous property of being able to convert regular humans into SCP-XXXX-A instances within five (5) seconds of exposure. The process of this is unknown; however, because of this property, contact with SCP-XXXX-C is strongly discouraged.
Currently, there are approximately █,███,000 SCP-XXXX-C. SCP-XXXX-C have formed a dictatorship-type government spanning the entirety of SCP-XXXX-B, SCP-XXXX-C have also formed a monotheistic religion focusing on the history of the "Flat Earth". Currently, SCP-XXXX-C have technology equivalent to early 20th-century humanity, such as radio technology, CRT screens, and [REDACTED]. No SCP Foundation equivalent exists on SCP-XXXX-B. Experiment log below:
Experiment XXXX-A75: Cross testing between SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-C.
Materials: Dr. █████, D-18349 (SCP-XXXX-A), corresponding SCP-XXXX-C instance, Class-A amnestics.
Test 1: SCP-XXXX-A was given various Level 1 classified Foundation info out of earshot of SCP-XXXX-C. SCP-XXXX-C asked to recall info.
Results: SCP-XXXX-C recalled all info, then converted the researcher to an SCP-XXXX-A instance in an escape attempt. Breach averted, Amnestics used on D-18349, new researcher hired.
Test 2: SCP-XXXX-C killed via small arms fire. SCP-XXXX-A observed for changes.
Results: SCP-XXXX-A fell unconscious the instant SCP-XXXX-C was killed. Autopsy showed SCP-XXXX-A died within one second of SCP-XXXX-C, from cerebral hemorrhaging.
If SCP-XXXX-C were allowed to technologically progress enough to develop space technology and reach Earth, it would likely cause an █K-class scenario due to the uncontrollable spread of SCP-XXXX-A instances, resulting in the near-complete collapse of humanity. For this reason, it is of high priority that SCP-XXXX-C is contained on SCP-XXXX-B and not allowed to reach Earth.

The following is a list of proposals made by the O-5 council regarding future containment protocols for SCP-XXXX.
| Date: | Proposal: | O-5 vote: |
|---|---|---|
| 6/12/19 | Containment of SCP-XXXX-C using various gravity assists to eject SCP-XXXX-B from the Solar System. | Nay vote, 0-13: Technologically unfeasible, unachievable without secrecy breach. |
| 6/14/19 | Containment of SCP-XXXX-C using high-powered magnets surrounding SCP-XXXX-B to block outgoing spacecraft. | Nay vote, 2-11: Technologically unfeasible. |
| 6/15/19 | Containment of SCP-XXXX-C using planet-wide application of Class-C amnestics. | Nay vote, 1-12: Unreasonably high loss of D-class personnel expected. |
| 7/21/19 | Containment of SCP-XXXX-C using several 600Mt nuclear weapons to destroy SCP-XXXX-B. | Hung vote, 6-6: Given the results of experiment XXXX-A75, unreasonably high amounts of civilian casualties would occur, though this might be the only option that is feasible to the Foundation. O-5 council will reconvene on █/██/██ to discuss further. Abstanee was O5-[REDACTED]. |
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept inside of the garage on the testing field at Site-43. SCP-XXXX may be used by any personnel on-site, as long as the sign-out sheet is updated. SCP-XXXX presents little to no danger to those driving it.
(4/7/20) UPDATE: SCP-XXXX must not be used under any circumstances. Any unauthorized personnel found using SCP-XXXX may be subject to disciplinary action.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 2008 Toyota Prius, and is gray in color. The object shows slight signs of wear consistent with light, mostly highway use. At the time of acquisition, the odometer read 192███ miles.
The object was acquired on 3/22/20 by the Foundation when the FOHS-3███ satilite1 transmitted an abnormally high reading in the vicinity of the ██████ Hotel, in ██████, Colorado. Secondary tests were performed on-site, which confirmed SCP-XXXX as anomalous. The object was then towed to Site-43 for testing.
The object has several non-standard/anomalous properties. In order of significance:
- The "Energy Monitor" display has been modified so that the "Engine" icon is tinted red. The purpose of this is unknown.
- The object seems to have a higher range than normal. While a normal 2008 Prius can go 800km on one tank, SCP-XXXX can go around 1450km.
- The object's hood release, and fuel door release levers are missing. When attempting to open the front hood and fuel door manually, it was discovered that both have been welded shut.
- The object appears to be able to manifest gasoline out of nowhere to refuel itself. When turned off, SCP-XXXX is able to refuel fully in 18 hours. The method by which this is achieved is unknown.
- The objects sounds very different than a normal 2008 Prius. While the electric motor sounds the same, the gasoline engine sounds substantially different. Audio clips below. (Note that the audio clips start with the electric motor sound, then the gasoline engine).

Addendum XXXX-A: Analysis on the Engine of SCP-XXXX
Leading Researchers: Dr. Gears, Dr. ████, Dr. ███████
Test 1: Performance of SCP-XXXX.
Materials: SCP-XXXX, D-4285 (Professional stunt driver), Precise accelerometer.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX is to be driven by D-4285, and have its various acceleration abilities tested.
Results: SCP-XXXX averaged a time between 8.1-10.6 seconds getting to 60mph from a standstill. Note that this is somewhat faster than a standard 2008 Prius. Interestingly, the object seemed to slow down as its fuel reserve was emptied.
Researcher Note: This test shows that the engine of SCP-XXXX is probably modified. It sure sounds different than normal… -Dr. ███████
Test 2: Regenerative capabilities of SCP-XXXX.
Materials: SCP-XXXX, D-4285, Precise weighing station. (Precise to 0.1kg)
Procedure: SCP-XXXX is to be driven until nearly empty on fuel. Once almost empty, SCP-XXXX is to be driven onto the weighing station and left to "recharge" The weighing station should show the gasoline being added to the car.
Results: SCP-XXXX was driven until it read 1/10 bars of fuel (~1365km). SCP-XXXX was then placed on the weighing scale and left to "recharge". The weighing scale reported no difference in weight over the course of 18 hours. After 18 hours, SCP-XXXX was able to be driven normally and reported that it was full on fuel.
Researcher Note: Weird… Is it not using gasoline? -Dr. ████
Test 3: Possible anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX's engine.
Materials: SCP-XXXX, Dr. Gears, Hume level indicator, Magnetometer.
Procedure: Dr. Gears is to sweep SCP-XXXX with the Hume indicator and Magnetometer to create a map of the object's surface and potential anomalous effects around the object.
Results: Hume levels were normal in the rear of the object, as well as along the sides and inside. However, Hume levels spiked directly over the left section of the hood. When the magnetometer was swept over the same place, it reported a very low reading, suggesting the engine had been modified or removed.
Alright. Enough fooling around. Clearly, the normal engine isn't here. Someone get me a laser cutter. -Dr. Gears
Test 4: Internal examination of SCP-XXXX's engine.
Materials: SCP-XXXX, Dr. Gears, Dr. ███████, Dr. ████, D-3811, Laser Cutter, Diagram of normal 2008 Prius engine.
Procedure: D-3811 is to use the laser cutter to remove SCP-XXXX's hood. D-3811 is then to report any objects out of the ordinary using the diagram.
Results: D-3811 successfully removed the hood of SCP-XXXX. When it was lifted out of the way, [DATA EXPUNGED, LEVEL 4/XXXX CLEARANCE NEEDED]. Hood replaced. D-3811 admitted to therapy course. Test aborted.

Addendum XXXX-B: Internal Email Log. Level 4 clearance needed.
Internal Email Log: April 7th, 2020, 8:45PM.
Sender: Dr. Gears
Recipient: O5 Object Report General Email
CC: Dr. ████, Dr. ███████
Subject: Final Report on SCP-XXXX.
To start this message off, let me address my fellow researchers. I'm sorry that you have to go through this now. It wasn't my intention to get you wrapped up in this, but now that we know the truth about SCP-XXXX, we need to talk about our next steps.
Fortunately, the observation deck had a… less than perfect view. All you probably saw at first was a red glare coming from under the hood, and the D-class losing her mind. I've done my own research, and I think I understand what is going on here. If you would also like to know, keep reading. Be warned; however, as this is legitimately one of the most horrifying things I have ever seen in an SCP. And I've worked with some of the bad ones.
With all that out of the way let me address the object itself now. Where SCP-XXXX's engine should be, is a cylindrical section of non-euclidian space, extending downwards and outwards. Preemptive measurements put it at approximately 200 meters deep, and 35 meters wide.
Obviously the power source of SCP-XXXX is in this space somewhere. And it is. At my time of observation, there were approximately four thousand (4000) human hearts inside of this space. Each heart was being sustained through unknown means. All of them were still bloody and fresh. Each heart had its ventricles and atriums attached to metal fluid piping which routed to every single heart and the main body of the car.
When the accelerator is pressed, the computer sends electrical signals to each heart, causing them to beat faster and with more power. The fluid in the pipes (identified as human blood, DNA tests are pending) is pushed through a turbine by this pressure. The turbine's rotational energy is then routed through a CVT transmission, where it combines with the electric motors to power the car. The sound heard while driving is the sound of thousands of human hearts beating slightly out of sync, and literally screaming from the exertion and pressure.
Unfortunately, it gets worse.
A human heart has a maximum rate at which it can function. SCP-XXXX does not seem to care about this limit. For the two minutes I was looking into the cavity, with the engine idling, I counted more than 8 hearts that just… exploded. The wiring connected to these hearts would just re-route somewhere else, automatically.
When SCP-XXXX ran out of "fuel", it ran out of hearts to power the vehicle. This would also explain why the vehicle was slower as the fuel ran out. There were fewer hearts to sustain the pressure against the turbine, so the car was slower.
After looking at my findings, I had one more question. How does SCP-XXXX refuel? The answer is obvious: It gets new hearts from somewhere.
Test 5 was conducted in secret. I didn't want to get anybody else involved with this. I set SCP-XXXX to refuel, and while it was refueling, I used a Foundation spider server to scan the web of the live count of cardiac arrest cases around the world. As expected, as SCP-XXXX was recharging, the number of cases increased dramatically around the world. SCP-XXXX was responsible for nearly 10% of all recorded deaths during those 18 hours, and more than doubled the number of heart-related deaths.
Watching the hearts just… appear… into SCP-XXXX, and then be properly connected in less than a second was… sickening. Fortunately, this test gave me the data I needed to construct a conclusion on SCP-XXXX.
Conclusion: SCP-XXXX should not be driven anymore. Driving it induces a major hazard on a global scale. I'm surprised nobody has picked up on the dramatic increase in deaths. By not driving it, we would be saving thousands of lives, around the world. The damn thing already had hundreds of thousands of miles on it when we found it…

Addendum XXXX-C: Interview Log. Level 4 clearance needed.
On 6/17/20, an unknown individual approached Site-43 and requested to be contained, showing confidential knowledge of SCP-XXXX. Below is an interview log with this individual (Now referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) and Dr. Gears:
Video log: Interview with individual SCP-XXXX-1
Gears: "For the record, what's your name?"
SCP-XXXX-1: "█████ Smith"
Gears: "Explain your relation to that stupid Prius." [SCP-XXXX]
Smith: "I created that 'stupid Prius'. What's your issue with it?"
Gears: (takes a moment to collect himself) "Okay. You're saying that like you don't understand the inconvenience you've caused everyone here. Do you understand how SCP-XXXX works?"
Smith: "It uses [DATA EXPUNGED], and [DATA EXPUNGED] in order to power the drivetrain. Simple as that. I don't see what the problem is here.
Gears: (stares at Smith for an extended period) "Do you understand the death you've caused with that fucking thing?"
Smith: "Yep. But it was for a good cause."
Gears: "A good cause? A good fucking cause? What was this cause? Why did you build SCP-XXXX?"
Smith: "You see, I work in a landscaping business. I needed to find a car that had enough range to get me where I needed to go. I needed a car that I could pull into a motel, have a good night's sleep, and then drive another 600 miles."
Gears: "Okay…" (pause) "So, how did you do it?"
Smith: "I had some help. I met a guy on the internet who taught me how to do it, but I never got his name. Shame."
Gears: (breathing heavily) "So…" (To observation staff) "I- Can someone get me a sedative… Please?"
(Gears was given a mild sedative. After six minutes, the interview was resumed.
Gears: "Sorry. I just have a few more questions for you. Firstly, why a Prius?"
Smith: "Well, a couple of reasons, actually. It already had pretty good range, I like the design and feel of the car, and it has a lot of cargo space for my landscaping tools. It's really the perfect car."
Gears: "Next, why did you turn yourself in?"
Smith: "I missed the car. I had installed a GPS tracker inside the engine, and when I saw that it was still being driven around, I came here. The guy who helped me build it mentioned you guys. I thought that I would be able to drive it again."
Gears: (To observation staff) "I hope you guys are getting this. This is fucking great." (Turns back to SCP-XXXX-1) "One more question. How did you do that thing with the red-tinted engine on the display?"
Smith: "A simple software override. And as for why, I wanted my car to feel unique from everyone else's. This was just a tiny touch that gave my car its own special signature. I'm glad you noticed it."
Gears: "Alright… No, fuck this." (Gears gets up and physically assaults SCP-XXXX-1. Observation staff do not intervene. After [REDACTED] minutes, Gears composes himself and leaves the interview room.)
In accordance with post-interview procedures, SCP-XXXX-1 was admitted into a standard humanoid containment cell. Therapy has been recommended for SCP-XXXX-1, and is currently pending.
Gears, post interview: "What the fuck is wrong with that guy? Does he not have emotions at all? The Foundation does all this shit- spends billions of dollars a year and makes unreasonable sacrifices already just to keep the world safe, but people like him just come along and kill thousands of people while flying under the radar for years. Sometimes, the human race sickens me. Someone give me another sedative…"
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber. No photographs or videos of SCP-XXXX are allowed except for testing purposes. Personnel who wish to enter the chamber for testing must be accompanied by the acting site director.
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a female humanoid, age in the upper teens/low 20s, height 160cm, weight 50kg. SCP-XXXX causes anything that perceives it to see SCP-XXXX and its surroundings as a heavily stylized, "cartoony" version of itself. This effect persists in photos and videos of SCP-XXXX. For example, taking a picture of SCP-XXXX with a D-Class resulted in the D-class and the containment chamber behind both subjects appearing to match SCP-XXXX's art style. This effect extends to tissue samples of SCP-XXXX and even individual hairs of its skin.
Analysis of the art style produced by SCP-XXXX's effect shows that it is consistent, but does not match any art style from any known artist.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is physically uncontainable. Current containment measures consist of a specialized team of Foundation insiders operating inside of most major aerospace companies, in order to prevent knowledge of SCP-XXXX. Additional measures include Foundation web trackers identifying drawings or complete images of SCP-XXXX. Any such image must be deleted or removed and all parties involved must be given amnestics before release.
Inevitably, partial pictures or descriptions of SCP-XXXX will evade tracking by the Foundation. As SCP-XXXX is exceedingly hard to fully piece together by a single person, this type of partial breach is tolerable.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a set of at least 500 variable and very high-parallax stars in the Milky Way galaxy. These stars outline a massive area of dramatically increased gas presence, which is in the shape of a female humanoid. SCP-XXXX is estimated to be 950 light-years tall, and as much as 100 light-years wide. The "head" of SCP-XXXX is the closest part of SCP-XXXX to Earth, and the closest star that forms SCP-XXXX to Earth is Sirius, which is 6.3 light-years away.
SCP-XXXX is able to move by anomalously shifting its stars with accelerations nearing 50m/s^2. This movement also affects the dense gas that makes up SCP-XXXX through unknown means. Due to SCP-XXXX's sheer size, its movements take an extremely long time to complete. SCP-XXXX has made less than a dozen recorded major movements since its discovery in 1907.
SCP-XXXX was discovered by Foundation scientist [REDACTED] while attempting to observe various stars for discrepancies in their proper motions. He discovered that a group of stars (now known to make up SCP-XXXX's right leg) were anomalously moving back and forth over a period of several months. [REDACTED] made a note of this group of stars, which eventually stemmed into a full catalog of stars that make up SCP-XXXX.
While data is sparse, the Foundation has confirmed that various ancient civilizations made note of SCP-XXXX's presence. From these depictions, SCP-XXXX's first known appearence was in 473AD by a Roman astrologist. SCP-XXXX was seen as a "large mass of stars and dust, in the shape of a person, appearing to be sitting". According to various records, SCP-XXXX was observed to "stand up" over the next 1100 years, and look around quickly. After that point, there was little recorded movement of SCP-XXXX until the Foundation discovered it in 1907.
Below are a list of recorded movements by SCP-XXXX.
| Start of movement | End of movement | Movement description | Notes: |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8/4/22 | 10/12/36 | SCP-XXXX appears to "notice" Earth, and raises its head to look towards Earth. | Note: Before this movement, SCP-XXXX was in a "huddled" position, looking down towards its feet. |
| 2/18/37 | 3/1/51 | SCP-XXXX propels its entire body towards Earth. | Note: The maximum speed observed by any star was more than 20% of the speed of light. |
| 3/16/51 | 5/8/53 | SCP-XXXX appears to yaw its head slightly, such that the left side of its head is pointed towards Earth. | None |
| 6/7/56 | 9/10/58 | SCP-XXXX returns to its original position. | None |
| 1/2/58 | 8/16/58 | SCP-XXXX shifts its facial expression to look surprised. | Note: This was done at the same time as the previous movement. |
| 9/10/58 | 6/1/06 | SCP-XXXX slowly drifts closer to Earth. It also fully extends its body. | Note: this appears to be a more "relaxed" movement. |
| 6/1/06 | 9/16/06 | SCP-XXXX moves two stars to move its pupils in its eyes to look directly at Earth. | None |
| 12/11/12 | 1/16/13 | SCP-XXXX moves 6 stars to open its "mouth", then closes it again. | Note: A dense radio transmission was received by Foundation telescopes pointed at SCP-XXXX on 12/30/12, at the time when SCP-XXXX's "mouth" was open the widest. |
Translation of the received radio message is currently being done Translation of the received radio message is complete. The message is viewable [REDACTED, 4/XXXX clearance required]
As of 4/21/20, SCP-XXXX has shown itself to be sentient, and able to communicate in Latin, as well as limited English. Through limited conversation, SCP-XXXX appears to be benign, friendly, and fascinated by the human race. Specifically, it appears to be fascinated by modern human technology.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained on a sheet of A4 paper, which is contained within an opaque container. The container may be made out of any available material, as long as SCP-XXXX cannot be seen while inside the container. The container is to be placed inside of a room with a length and width of at least 3 meters. No writing material is allowed inside of the room. When testing is done on SCP-XXXX, at least two D-class must be present in the room, alongside any researchers.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an image that causes certain causality violating effects in any human that views it. If SCP-XXXX is viewed by a subject, no effects occur. However, when the subject stops viewing SCP-XXXX, the nearest living human to the subject will invariably view SCP-XXXX. The time this takes is directly proportional to the viewing duration of the subject (eg. if the subject viewed SCP-XXXX for 5 seconds, another person would see SCP-XXXX exactly 5 seconds after the original subject stopped viewing SCP-XXXX). This effect has been shown to violate causality and certain laws of physics.
Regarding the image itself, SCP-XXXX consists of various textual elements, as well as some visual elements. Though this data can be seen off of SCP-XXXX, analysis has shown no coherent sentences or images. Notably, however, the text appears to all be in English.
Minor actions like blinking do not count as "stopping observation" of SCP-XXXX, however, any major attention lapse from SCP-XXXX will count. Note that this effect does not cause an infinite loop: The effect ceases after one additional person sees SCP-XXXX, and remains inactive until SCP-XXXX is entirely unobserved.
Experiment log below:
| Subjects: | Procedure: | Results: | Notes: |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-2496, D-8213 | D-2496 instructed to observe SCP-XXXX for 10 seconds, then stop observing it. D-8213 positioned on the opposite side of the room. | After D-2496 stopped viewing SCP-XXXX, D-8213 walked over and observed SCP-XXXX precisely 10 seconds after D-2496 broke eye contact. | Upon interview of D-8213, she recalled walking over to observe SCP-XXXX, but could not describe a particular motive for doing so. |
| D-2496, D-9411 | D-2496 instructed to observe SCP-XXXX for 5 seconds, then stop observing it. D-9411 positioned on the opposite side of SCP-XXXX's case and ordered to remain there under threat of termination. Agent ████ was placed in the room with orders to kill D-9411 if he moved. | After D-2496 stopped viewing SCP-XXXX, D-9411 started walking over to view SCP-XXXX. Agent ████'s rifle experienced a sudden malfunction which prevented it from working. Agent ████ moved to bludgeon D-9411 with his rifle, when he suddenly fell unconscious. He was later pronounced dead, with the cause of death being the sudden removal of all brain matter. D-9411 viewed SCP-XXXX exactly 5 seconds after D-2496 broke eye contact with it. | Upon interview of D-9411, he claimed that he felt compelled to view SCP-XXXX, but could not elaborate further. |
| D-2496, D-6895 | D-2496 instructed to observe SCP-XXXX for 5 seconds, then stop observing it. D-6895 positioned on the opposite side of the room. A small C4 explosive with a remote detonator was attached to the back of D-6895's head. | Detonator was activated 0.12 seconds after D-6895 broke observation with SCP-XXXX. The explosive was observed to function properly, but exploded a cone facing directly away from D-6895. D-6895 observed SCP-XXXX exactly 5 seconds after D-2496 broke eye contact with it. | Upon piecemeal analysis of the explosive, it appears that the explosive had an internal defect, which caused part of the explosive power to "bounce off" the external frame and be directed away from D-6895. |
| D-2496, D-4213, high-speed camera. | SCP-XXXX moved to a larger room. D-2496 instructed to perform a "reverse blink" while looking at SCP-XXXX. D-4213 placed on the opposite side of the room, 15 meters away from SCP-XXXX. | D-2496 was observed to view SCP-XXXX for 0.032 seconds. D-4213 [DATA EXPUNGED]. Using the high-speed camera, D-4213 was observed to make eye contact with SCP-XXXX precisely 0.032 seconds after D-2496 broke eye contact with it. | Note: D-4213 was terminated. D-2496 had to undergo therapy AND a deep-cleaning. Let's not do that again. |
Incident log XXXX-001: 4/18/20
At 11:30PM on 4/18/20, Janitor █████ was performing a routine cleaning of all Safe containment cells. At the time, Janitor █████ was the only one in the building, all other Site personnel were in the southernmost living facility. For unknown reasons, SCP-XXXX's case was left open after testing during the day. Janitor █████ took a "passing glance" at SCP-XXXX while cleaning its room.
[DATA EXPUNGED]
MTF unit Epsilon-13 ("ill think of a better name later") were called to a possible containment breach by Janitor █████. When they arrived, they found the southernmost wall of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber destroyed, while SCP-XXXX was untouched. Foundation audio recorders spread across the Site recorded a sonic boom, originating from near the living facility. On the northernmost wall of SCP-XXXX's room, [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-XXXX was deep-cleaned and put back into its case.
Incident log XXXX-002: 4/26/20
