Special Containment Procedures: [Paragraphs explaining the procedures]

Civilian activity which occurs around or near SCP-XXXX-1 is to be monitored by members of JTF-Omega-2 ("Nutmeg Chasers") and referred to state law enforcement or GoI-9685 depending on point-of-origin.

Description: SCP-XXXX serves as a collective designation for a series of anomalies which occur at the Western border of the State of Connecticut.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a gravel walkway located in Macedonia Brook State Park and ending at the Western boundary of Kent, Connecticut. The path begins at a seemingly arbitrary point disconnected from all other trails within the park, the nearest being Macedonia Ridge Trail approximately 0.4 miles away. SCP-XXXX-1 continues in a 5 degree arc which ends at the Connecticut/New York border. While seemingly manmade, an investigation into the history of SCP-XXXX-1 was inconclusive with no records found of its original construction.

Individuals who travel past the end of SCP-XXXX-1, regardless of their original starting point, will be taken to an alternate dimension herein designated SCP-XXXX-2. Items held in possession by an individual will transfer to SCP-XXXX-2 as well; however, this process is limited to a currently unclear degree.

Tests to determine the nature of this portal are still under review.

Addendum XXXX.1: Testing Log

+Experiment Log

Number: XXXX.1-1
Subject: Unmanned Drone
Notes: While it was initially understood that humans could enter SCP-XXXX-2 through SCP-XXXX-1, Dr. Kuragin wanted to begin initial testing with an unmanned drone to minimize the potential harm for site personnel.
Description: An unmanned aerial drone was launched from the beginning of SCP-XXXX-1 and made to fly above the gravel path in order to enter SCP-XXXX-2. Once there, the drone was to provide surveillance for future analysis.
Result: Upon reaching the end SCP-XXXX-1, the drone was not transported to SCP-XXXX-2 and spontaneously damaged.

Number: XXXX.1-2
Subject: D-09163 and baseball
Description: D-09163 was instructed to throw a baseball 7.5 meters away from the entrance to SCP-XXXX-2 while she was standing on SCP-XXXX-1.
Result: The baseball was not transported to SCP-XXXX-2 and behaved normally.

Number: XXXX.1-3
Subject: D-11424, exploration specialist
Description: D-11424 was placed on the midpoint of SCP-XXXX-1 and instructed to reach the entrance to SCP-XXXX-2 to report preliminary results.
Result: D-11424 was able to maintain contact with Foundation personnel upon successfully entering SCP-XXXX-2. Video footage recorded by D-11424 shows the sudden appearance of a mirrored version of SCP-XXXX-1 where it foreseeably ends outside of SCP-XXXX-2. D-11424 was able to leave SCP-XXXX-2 the same way they came in and displayed no adverse health effects as a result of entering the anomaly.

Addendum XXXX.2: Initial Exploration Log

Citing the need for additional data to further understand the nature of SCP-XXXX-2, MTF-Apollo-3 "Game Wardens" was activated to conduct an initial survey.

[BEGIN LOG]

AP-3 Ross: Radio check.

AP-3 Ritter: Check 1.

AP-3 Darvo: Check 2.

AP-3 Bradley: Czechoslovakia.

AP-3 Ross: Command, radios are live.

AP-3 Ritter: …And Bradley is as insufferable as always.

AP-3 Bradley: Oh, shut up.

AP-3 Ross: Get a room you two. Command, what are we dealing with?

Command: Seems to be a forest of some kind according to the D-class we sent in. We'd normally have a drone do the scouting, but SCP-XXXX-1 seems to only work for people… possibly animals too.

AP-3 Ross: We're basically going in blind then?

Command: You got it.

AP-3 Ross: Copy that. Anything you want us to look out for?

Command: Other people mostly. Any intel you can gather to determine how things work over there would be nice.

AP-3 Ross: Alright, sounds good.

AP-3 Darvo: So we just walk down this gravel road?

AP-3 Darvo kicks some of the gravel into the woods.

AP-3 Darvo: That doesn't sound too bad. It's literally a walk in the park.

AP-3 Ross: Command, when did you say Houston and Ohalo would be cleared to rejoin the task force?

Command: Site-23 didn't send over any those personnel files, so I don't have an answer for you on that. Pauses You are now clear for insertion.

AP-3 Ross: Okay team, let's roll out. I'll be taking point, and Ritter you take the rear. Bradley, my left; Darvo, right.

AP-3 Ritter: Got it.

AP-3 Bradley: On it, boss.

AP-3 Darvo: Sounds good to me.

Team walks towards SCP-XXXX-1's endpoint until they are transferred to SCP-XXXX-2. Besides the sudden appearance of additional road ahead of them and its disappearance behind them, the only other obvious change is greater cloud coverage overhead.

AP-3 Ross: You still reading me, Command?

Command: You're signal isn't as clear now, but it usually cuts off once you reach the end of SCP-XXXX-1.

AP-3 Ross: Okay, we'll keep our recording gear on and take note of anything out of place for you to review when we get back.

Command: Affirmative, stay safe out there, Apollo-3.

AP-3 Ross: Will do. Bradley, you got our ETA?

AP-3 Bradley: We have an about an hour plus until reach Wassaic.¹

AP-3 Bradley: …Or rather where it would normally be.

Team reaches end of SCP-XXXX-1 and continues Northwest. No man-made paths are visible for some time until they reach a dirt path heading north which Apollo-3 elects to travel down.

AP-3 Darvo: So… anyone here been to upstate New York before?

AP-3 Ritter: Shut up, Darvo.

Team travels for 10 minutes mostly in silence.

AP-3 Bradley: Boss, we should be coming up to Wassaic any minute now.

AP-3 Ross: Sounds good. Stay alert, everyone.

AP-3 Bradley: We're not too far from our secondary destination at Bog Hollow Brook if nothing's there.

AP-3 Ritter: If nothing is at Wassaic, then I propose we head to Depression Lake.

AP-3 Bradley: Actually, Depression Pond is an hour and a half South of here.

AP-3 Ross: Both of you shut up. We're not on some field trip here, focus on the mission for once.

AP-3 Darvo: Captain, look! I think I see something up ahead.

Roughly 150 meters ahead a woman riding a chestnut-colored horse toward the Team. The rider is dressed in garments typical in the 1700s colonial America except she was wearing men's clothes. The outfit included a white ill-fitting shirt, tan-colored pants, and a blue dress coat adorned with subtle red and gold threaded patterns. AP-3 Ross responds to this observation by waving the individual down.

Unknown Woman: Well-met, good sirs. Upon more closely examining the Team, I take it you gentlemen are not o' this area? Dis'ant dravelers mayhaps?

AP-3 Ross: Ma'am—

Unknown Woman: I beg yer pardon! Thou shall address me as 'sir' or this parley shayll be over post-haste.

AP-3 Ross: I'm sorry, sir. We're a bit lost. Do you know where we are?

Unknown Woman: Westarn Connec'icut, Coonty o' New Netherlande.

AP-3 Ritter: whispers Captain, I thought Bradley was supposed to be taking us into New York?

Unknown Woman: Knew Yoreck? Wha' are'ye on abode?

AP-3 Bradley: Does this road lead to Wassaic, sir?

Unknown Woman: Yessir, it cer'ainly does. Jus' came frae there.

AP-3 Ritter: What's the date?

Unknown Woman: Ye mean like the day? Wha' did ya' crawl ou' o' a cave or somethin'?

AP-3 Bradley: My friend here is just sadly suffering from deliriousness. She keeps asking us that as well.

The woman laughs atop her horse.

Unknown Woman: Ah, well ya mus' be an awfully loyal friend. Yer in good pard o' the world faer bonds like those. I might just blush.

She pauses and warmly looks directly at AP-3 Ritter.

Unknown Woman: Today is the fifth o' Januar inna seventeenth hundred an ninedy-sexth year o our Lord.

AP-3 Ross: Okay, thank you sir. Sorry to keep you.

Unknown Woman: No warries! Safe dravels, an walcome tae Connec'icut.

Following the exchange, AP-3 Ross recalled the team to allow for further analysis of their current findings before additional contact could be made.
