Special Containment Procedures
The intrinsic effects of SCP-XXXX means that the containment or neutralization of its numerous instances would jeopardize the normalcy and standard functioning of humanity. Regardless, use of routine primary containment controls would be logistically infeasible. Alternative containment procedures have been drafted that mitigate the logistical and ethical concerns - but none are presently approved for implementation.
06/2/1998: A test-run of the Bohm-Pribram [Interference Neutralization] procedures within a real-world environment has been approved.
01/12/2000: Please note: The above section of the containment procedures has been nullified. Reclassification of SCP-XXXX is in process, and new summarized procedures have not been inserted.
The ubiquity of SCP-XXXX instances ensures a constant threat of public detection. All public research related to SCP-XXXX is to be suppressed. Certain bodies of research will consistently require suppression, e.g. neuroscience. At the moment, the only known ways of affecting or detecting SCP-XXXX is protected Foundation technology. Outside detection will likely involve unique experimental methods.
It is critical that an individual's SCP-XXXX instance is kept in a nominal state. Personnel are to have their cranial lining examined and tested before allowing interaction with Hume field anomalies. Scantron Reality Anchors included - an SRA can permanently neutralize an SCP-XXXX instance if the cranial lining is compromised. Cranial lining test equipment is to be provided to the Foundation Medical Department for this purpose.
Individuals affected by a significantly irregular SCP-XXXX instance are to be cautiously monitored, especially if the instance is hyperactivated. Psychiatric treatment is to be provided once conditions stabilize.
Reality-benders inadvertently created by SCP-XXXX hyperactivation are to be terminated. Individuals affected in this matter are extremely dangerous to themselves and others, and have expired in a catastrophic matter in all observed cases, regardless of treatment.
12/5/1996: Research of SCP-XXXX requires Ethics Committee and O5 Council approval.
Description:
SCP-XXXX instances are enormously complex, self-sustaining regions of evolving Hume potential. These instances are always usually spatially locked to within some region of a host entity. In human hosts, this region is the brain's volume. SCP-XXXX instances have only been detected within human hosts.
In the context of humans, experimentation and statistical analysis has shown strong functional connectivity between an SCP-XXXX system and its host individual. This connectivity has been narrowed down into direct associations with various human phenomena, including:
- Developmental disorders, e.g autism.
- Emotional relationships between humans. Strongest correlation is with empathy.
- Response to strong emotions, such as grief.
- Out-of-body experiences.
- Thought processes related self-conceptualization, such as self-image and personal identity.
- Memory recall of past experience, and the conscious awareness of current experience.
Technical Construction:
Fundamentally, an SCP-XXXX instance is composed of self-sustaining chains of Hume field interaction phenomena. These chains can be thought of as reaction chains, analogous to phenomena found in particle physics or chemistry. These reaction chains are the basic components of highly interconnected webs, loosely defining discrete structures. These structures are plastic and loosely bound. As the structures interact, merge, connect, etc. with other similar structures, they form a loose, complex network, which is the SCP-XXXX system.
Model of Dynamic Behavior:
A complete scientific model of SCP-XXXX has not been created, despite great effort by Foundation researchers. Nevertheless, SCP-XXXX instances have some known consistent parameters, properties, or features that are fully described. Some include:
- System activity, which is roughly analogous to a brain's neural activity. While modelling activity is extremely difficult, measuring activity is not. Regions of high activity may indicate functional processes or system maintenance tasks.
- The activation parameter, which can be thought of as the divergence (inward or outward flux) of the entire system. Activation will tend to 0 over time, as long as reality is stable.
- The coupling forces, which spatially translate particles within the SCP-XXXX system toward some other stable point within the host. When a force is applied, no point within an a SCP-XXXX system will map outside the region perimeter. This creates the boundary of the system. The continuous sum of these forces are what causes the system to become spatially locked to its host.
- The weighting values. The weight of a point within the system is what modulates the numerous interactions that exist between that point and some other corresponding system within the host. In humans, the corresponding systems are components of the brain. The sum of all weighting in an SCP-XXXX system describes the complete relationship between the instance and its host.
Irregular SCP-XXXX States:
SCP-XXXX instances can, through various circumstances, be malformed into an irregular state. An instance in an irregular state will affect its host. Known irregular states are listed below:
- Irregular activation: Condition where the system's activation is significantly distant from nominal activation. Irregular activation is associated with two differing sets of behavior, depending on if the system is being hyperactivated (div. < 0, extra reality flows inwards) or deactivated (div. > 0, reality drains outwards).
- Lock drift: Condition where coupling forces displace from the bounded region. The system may appear physically outside of the host in this condition.
- Decoupling: Condition where the coupling forces no longer attach the system to its host. Has never been observed.
- Neutralization: System no longer exists. Significantly affects the host.
Foundation Medical Department Memo:
Foundation Medical Department Internal Memo
Dr. Emily Hawk, M.D.
I've compiled the following information in order to clear things up about SCP-XXXX. This is all Level 1 stuff, so feel free to spread this around.
Modes:
SCP-XXXX has multiple modes of presentation. Each mode has its own set of symptoms. These modes of presentation are:
- Irregular activation. It is important to determine if it is deactivation or hyperactivation.
- Deactivation symptoms:
- Altered behavior similar to developmental disorders.
- Difficulty to self-conceptualize. Affects the patient's perception of themselves.
- Diminished higher-consciousness. (not how "awake" they are! Check your textbook!)
- Hyperactivation symptoms:
- Sudden onset of anxiety disorders. Persists past SCP-XXXX presentation.
- Depression. Also persists.
- Reality-bending powers. Yes, really. These folks don't tend to last long - all of them have died from their brain lobes dematerializing. This is a physically dangerous event to be near, so be very cautious when dealing with hyperactivation.
- Lock drift. Associated with out of body experiences, hallucinatory events. Not much to speak about here, symptomatically, it isn't a very serious condition. It is very important that the patient is kept away from reality anchors whenever they have lock drift.
- Neutralization. Permanent condition. Presents as an extreme form of SCP-XXXX deactivation. Pray you don't get it.
If normal diagnostics aren't doing the trick, get in contact with a Level 4 and they'll sort you out. There are tools available for direct detection.
Treatment:
Direct treatment for SCP-XXXX presentation is basically impossible. You have to wait it out. However, you can provide some preventative measures.
For some reason, our cranial lining is what prevents SCP-XXXX presentation from occurring much more often. You've probably seen those SCP-XXXX "sticks" already - those scan for a compromised cranial lining. If you have personnel return negative when jabbed with those, you should isolate them from Hume anomalies.
Reality Anchors:
Reality anchors may cause an SCP-XXXX neutralization. I can't say exactly why this happens, but it does. This might fly in the face of what you've been told about SRAs: that in the short-term, "there is no effects on normal humans." In truth, this is because the cranial lining protects us. As soon as it's compromised, reality anchors can become very dangerous to be around.
Alternative Containment Procedures:
Containment of SCP-XXXX has been a major goal for the Foundation. Traditional containment methods have repeatedly been determined to be both infeasible and unethical. In response, the O5 Council formally opened submission of alternative containment procedures. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, it was known that these procedures would effectively describe a procedure to decommission most SCP-XXXX instances. This was deemed acceptable by the O5 Council, and met their definition of containment.
Numerous research groups formed and responded with proposals. Most of these proposals involve some sort of transmutation of SCP-XXXX instances into non-anomalous physical forms. This transmutation process is usually based on an anomalous Hume field structure that attaches to and manipulates an SCP-XXXX instance.
One of these proposals has been approved for testing: the Bohm-Pribram [Interference Neutralization] procedures.

Ethics Committee Ruling:
ETHICS COMMITTEE RULING
Following breakthroughs in the understanding of SCP-XXXX, the Ethics Committee convened. The purpose of this meeting was to come to a consensus upon what is acceptable for SCP-XXXX containment.
The following facts regarding SCP-XXXX informed the committee:
- SCP-XXXX has been determined to exist within effectively every human.
- SCP-XXXX is functionally responsible for many components of ordinary human behavior.
- SCP-XXXX is a significant cause of humanity's vulnerability to Hume field effects.
- SCP-XXXX is a genuinely unexplainable, uncontained anomaly.
The following statements were considered true by the committee:
- Public awareness of SCP-XXXX would jeopardize normalcy.
- Casual neutralization of SCP-XXXX would jeopardize normalcy and human functioning.
- Traditional containment of SCP-XXXX is impossible.
After council was given by well-informed researchers within fields related to SCP-XXXX, the Ethics Committee deliberated. Consensus was eventually reached - but the committee had great difficulty in doing so. This has brought upon new measures, which are described in the Ruling section of this document.
Ruling:
By the authority of the Ethics Committee:
- SCP-XXXX is to be considered currently essential for human normalcy and standard functioning. The Foundation is to be explicitly aware of this in any matter where SCP-XXXX is relevant.
- No procedures involving the simple deactivation of SCP-XXXX instances will be approved.
- Corresponding with the last measure, the current SCP-XXXX containment procedures are now null.
- Procedures describing a replacement process might be approved if they fulfill certain requirements. These requirements are listed in the Additional Documentation section of this document.
It is recommended by the Ethics Committee:
- That SCP-XXXX be reclassified to Cernnunos, from Keter. The committee believes that SCP-XXXX should be contained, but the plans for mass neutralization were completely unacceptable. A formal request for reclassification has been sent to the Classification Committee office.
- That the Foundation allocate a significant quantity of resources to an SCP-XXXX replacement program. A formal request has been sent to the O5 Council office.
Additional Documentation:
Replacement:
A replacement process for SCP-XXXX must meet certain requirements before any measure of approval by the Ethics Committee can be considered.
A replacement network instance must:
- Emulate an SCP-XXXX network non-anomalously.
- Not affect normalcy or otherwise modify ordinary human behavior.
The replacement process must:
- Not significantly affect normalcy during the duration of the process. The process should be able to complete without the public noticing.
- Be done through transformative methods. The SCP-XXXX instance can not be copied and then neutralized.
- Ensure that SCP-XXXX no longer autonomously forms in humans.
The Ethics Committee chose these requirements with the understanding that they are very difficult to fulfill. If replacement of SCP-XXXX in this fashion is determined to be impossible, the Ethics Committee and O5 Council will convene and decide whether or not SCP-XXXX containment efforts should be entirely abandoned.

SCP-XXXX Containment Proposal
[Note] This is a redacted version of the Interface Neutralization proposal. The full expansion is available, please talk to Dr. Katherine Pribram to receive a copy. Make sure you have the right clearance before asking me!
Overview:
Our group is proposing a novel approach for SCP-XXXX containment. This approach involves an anomalous process that replaces an existing SCP-XXXX network with a holonomic network. We call this process Interface Neutralization. Interface Neutralization is the primary component of our proposal.
During Interface Neutralization, the host SCP-XXXX process is destructively converted into a holonomic network. This "holonomic" network is a holographic storage network, formed using entirely non-anomalous quantum effects between the brain's cells. The replacement network should be completely comparable in performance to an SCP-XXXX network.
The object responsible for the conversion process is a purpose-designed Hume field anomaly. Currently, our anomalies target a single individual. However, we can easily modify the anomaly into infectiously spreading between humans, eventually converting all SCP-XXXX instances into holonomic networks.

Conclusion:
We believe this set of procedures fulfills the requirements posed by the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee. We are extremely confident in the safety and performance of our network architecture.
Ethics Committee Memo:
ETHICS COMMITTEE MEMO
After careful consideration and examination of the provided technical information, we have determined that your proposed process technically meets our requirements for an SCP-XXXX replacement process. However, it is not approved for implementation. The Ethics Committee has some concerns:
- What are the long-term effects of this network? Are they any different?
- Recent discoveries have cast into question some understanding of SCP-XXXX - are you sure that your holonomic network constitutes an actual transference of the conscious self? Are you accidentally replacing individuals with p-zombies?
- How are you so confident in the capability and safety of your team's replacement network? Your team did note specific benefits, showed results of testing, etc. However, to us, none of this proved beyond a reasonable doubt the true characteristics of your network. To be blunt, the included tests done with D-Class did not fill this committee with confidence.
- Finally, what happens if it goes wrong? What if a reality-bender mutates a strain of your anomaly? What if there is a malfunction? Could a dysfunctional instance of this anomaly constitute a significant risk to humanity?
The committee understands that it's probably not easy to answer these questions. The Ethics Committee is willing to approve of any tests that your team might need. Of course, you will also need approval from the O5 Council. The Ethics Committee will be sending a liaison to oversee these tests, if carried out.
Please send us a response once you have the necessary information. If your response is deemed acceptable, we will approve implementation of these procedures.
PS: The Foundation is not for those who ravenously seek prestige, doctor. We're aware you went directly to the O5 Council for implementation approval, in an attempt to bypass the Ethics Committee. We were immediately informed. Protocol should dictate a severe reprimand - but your proposal is the only one to even come close to fulfilling our requirements. It is for humanity's sake that we overlook this. Do not disappoint us.
Ethics Committee and O5 Council Decision:

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon where nuclear military submarines that meet certain criteria are frequently affected by anomalous events. These events, designated as SCP-XXXX instances, are potentially catastrophic in scale and can result in loss of life or potentially the sinking of the vessel.
The resulting effect of SCP-XXXX instances is not consistent. Effects can be relatively benign, resulting in negligible damage and may not even be noticed by the crew. Alternatively, effects can be extremely anomalous and catastrophic, such as rapidly oscillating Hume levels, or the disappearance of entire systems of a vessel. Listed a variety of recorded examples:
- The instantaneous removal of a 1 meter diameter sphere of material in the aft starboard section of a vessel
- A sudden 90 degree rotation of a vessel within the span of 3 seconds, causing several casualties
- Instantaneous increase in mass of an electrical connector to over several thousand kilograms, resulting in severe damage to the vessel's reactor coolant system, causing the vessel to be scuttled
- Unknown active objects appearing on sonar return
- Unknown entities inside and outside of the vessel
There has been ██ recorded instances of SCP-XXXX. The frequency and the target of SCP-XXXX instances makes containment extremely difficult. Almost all recorded instances of SCP-XXXX required intervention from the UIU, GRU-P, or the Foundation in order to contain public knowledge of SCP-XXXX.

DOE. 23.III.1965
DETAIL: K-3 Leninsky Komsomol target of paranatural event, 23.III.1965. Event designated ESI "SHELL APERTURE". Auxiliary paranatural entities designated OSI "VULTURE SIREN." "VULTURE SIREN" of unknown construction. Accepted conclusions as follows:
- Manipulating appendages with sharp implements.
- Moderate intelligence.
- Knowledge of K-3 Leninsky Komsomol's structure.
- Capable of replicating specific human characteristics.
"SHELL APERTURE" begun with "VULTURE SIREN" entities materializing in the torpedo tubes of K-3 Leninsky Komsomol. Crew of K-3 Leninsky Komsomol discovered "VULTURE SIREN" entities when they reportedly heard requests from unknown entities to open the torpedo tube hatches. Crew flooded torpedo tubes and fired "water slugs" without authorization from officers. "VULTURE SIREN" entities were evacuated from the torpedo tubes due to this procedure, however the "VULTURE SIREN" entities swam back into the tubes and forcefully tore through the sealed hatches. Flooding then ensued in the bow of K-3 Leninsky Komsomol.
The bulkhead to the bow was rapidly sealed by crew further astern. A number of crewmen were left abandoned in the bow. Due to the flooding and the hostile threats, the commanding officer elected to surface K-3 Leninsky Komsmol and evacuate the remaining crew. He, and other select senior officers, persisted below deck in order to request assistance from other vessels.
"VULTURE SIREN" entities were not located upon recovery of K-3 Leninsky Komsomol. All crew still in K-3 Leninsky Komsomol by the time of recovery were deceased. Recovered crew security tapes revealed that "VULTURE SIREN" entities were inside of K-3 Leninsky Komsomol until approximately 30 minutes before entry of recovery teams.
Following "SHELL APERTURE," K-3 Leninsky Komsomol was placed under examination.
At the end of "SHELL APERTURE", 21 men were deceased. Causes of death follows:
- 5 cases of terminal hypothermia. Cause presumed as accident during evacuation.
- 9 cases of drowning. All deceased of case-type located in bow. Cause presumed flooding.
- 5 cases of terminal blood loss. All deceased of case-type had thyroid as location of primary injury. Cause presumed "VULTURE SIREN."
- 3 cases of brain aneurysm. All deceased of case-type were senior officers. Cause unknown.
Suspected origins of "SHELL APERTURE" as follows:
(i) "AQUILA" Origin - IMPROBABLE - Unlikely involvement, KGB intelligence does not suggest "AQUILA" aggression against K-3 Leninsky Komsomol or other naval vessels.
(ii) Extra-Governmental Origin - POSSIBILITY - Potential involvement by non-state actors. Investigation into several organizations is ongoing.
(iii) Paranatural Origin - POSSIBILITY - Paranatural phenomenon or entity potential cause of "SHELL APERTURE." Investigation is ongoing.
[NOTE] This incident report was rewritten following subsequent instances of SCP-XXXX.

Affected Vessel: USS Nautilus, SSN-571
Brief: USS Nautilus affected by SCP-XXXX on 15/6/1958, no loss of life, minor damage to vessel. Local containment was achieved through integration of the vessel's 20 crewmen. Public containment contained through drifting ice cover story. UIU redirected investigation to Foundation due to no suspected involvement of Soviet agents and lack of familiarity with anomalous events.

Foreword: The following is an excerpt of the recording of the Sonar room of the USS Nautilus, recorded on 15/6/1958. Two men can be heard in this recording: Sonarman Alfred Bradwater, and Captain Carlton F. Thompson.
At the start of this log, the Nautilus was at the beginning of it's North Pole crossing attempt.
[BEGIN TRUNCATED LOG]
Bradwater: Conn Sonar, new submerged contact, bearing 047, designated Sierra-1. Got no clue what it is sir, it's not biologics, it's not clutter, and it's big.
Thompson: Al, check your instruments. We should be the only thing down here.
Bradwater: Check instruments aye, already done that. Positively on scope.
Thompson: Then what the hell is it?
Bradwater: I don't know sir. Well, it, it sort of sounds like breathing. In… out. In… out. Like that.
Thompson: You sure it ain't biologics?
Bradwater: Whales don't breathe like us, sir.
Thompson: Right. (Pauses) Sonar Conn, Al, acquire range to Sierra-1.
Bradwater: Acquire range to target, aye.
A series of active sonar pings can be heard.
Bradwater: Conn Sonar, Sierra-1, range 5 -
A massive metallic wailing sound can be heard through the recording.
Bradwater: Jesus christ -
Thompson: All stop, quick quiet! Al, what the hell is Sierra-1 doing?
Bradwater: I don't know sir - no, Sierra-1, aspect change, uh - it's heading right towards us, sir. It's, it's getting louder -
Thompson: Christ, I can hear it! Helm, all back!
A breathing like sound is audible through the recording. It is consistent in frequency but increasing in amplitude. Rapid, loud tapping can be heard through the recording. Cavitation from the reversal of the propellers begins to overwhelm the audio.
Bradwater: I - I can't hear - it's all around -
The recording beyond this point is corrupted and unintelligible.

Foreword: The following is a brief interview with Sonarman Alfred Bradwater following Incident 1.01 aboard the USS Nautilus.
[BEGIN LOG]
Researcher Buchman: Thank you for agreeing for this interview so early. I understand your time after this has been… difficult.
Bradwater: It has, yes.
Researcher Buchman: Well, let's get started. When you found Sierra-1, what did you hear?
Bradwater: What I heard was very… unusual. Whales, sir, don't breathe like that thing did. Hell, pretty much nothing breathes like it did. It sounded like every breath it drew was labored, like it was going to die at any moment. Creeped me the hell out, all I wanted to do was take off my headset so I wouldn't have to listen to it.
Researcher Buchman: Okay, next, how would you describe the sound that occurred after the sonar pings?
Bradwater: You know those stories about people hearing strange noises in the wilderness at night? Loud screams and roars without any good reason for 'em?
Researcher Buchman: Sure, what about them?
Bradwater: Well, whatever sound you just made up in your head for those stories, it's that sound. It sounded like a God damn fucking demon. For the smallest of moments, I thought it was a ping from another boat, but no, that was absolutely a God damn banshee or some shit.
Researcher Buchman: Right. What happened when the entity began to approach the Nautilus?
Bradwater: We, um, heard breathing first. Not in the headset, we physically heard it in the boat. Then it started to become just, beyond deafening. It was echoing across the entire boat. And… I heard this horrendous knocking noise soon after.
Researcher Buchman: Where'd the knocking come from?
Bradwater: It wasn't from the boat, that's for damn sure. It felt like someone was harshly knocking on the metal outside over and over again, like I locked the door and the cops wanted in. (Pauses) If I could've taken out my ear drums with pliers, I would've.
Researcher Buchman: Sorry you had to go through that.
Bradwater shifts in his seat, and appears very tense.
Bradwater: You guys know we had to get someone to scram the reactor, right? That reactor had no problems before this. Something was violating our damn minds, and our boat.
Researcher Buchman: I did not know that. We'll look into it. Is there anything else you would like to add?
Bradwater: More of a question: Who the hell are you guys? I've been briefed by intelligence guys before, you bunch of suits ain't them.
Researcher Buchman: I think you'll know more soon enough. Thank you for your time.

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is a collective designation for an anomalous species of 8 legged invertebrates. They appear derived from arachnids, specifically tarantulas. They distinctly differ from tarantulas in size and internal physiology. SCP-XXXX instances form large colonies, the structure of which is anomalous.
SCP-XXXX physiology differs distinctly from tarantulas. They are significantly larger, with a length of upwards of 6 feet. Their anatomy appear closer to mammals than arachnids, using blood rather than haemolymph. Thus, they have veins, lungs, and a multiple chamber heart. Their external physiology is different as well, with the two front appendages on an arachnid being replaced with a much more complex manipulation appendage, akin in function to human arms.
SCP-XXXX societal structure, once a colony has been formed, appears similar to the politics of the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union.

Help, I've Fallen and Can't Get Out / The Fractured Pile
UMZ-1 housing, before meltdown.
Special Containment Procedures: A 30 kilometer area around SCP-XXXX has been acquired and cordoned off. Disinformation has been proliferated claiming that SCP-XXXX is an extremely hazardous chemical weapons development site.
Disinformation is to be implanted into historical institutions about the factual personnel and outcomes of the Uranprojekt. Any historical evidence for Uranprojekt constructs beyond reactor piles are to be suppressed.
Personnel or autonomous units entering and then exiting the area around SCP-XXXX are to be examined for radioactive particles. If radioactive particles can not be entirely removed from equipment and personnel, they are to be quarantined, and if necessary destroyed.
Any unauthorized persons are to be escorted off of the grounds by on-site security. If any unauthorized persons are located within or near the primary complex of SCP-XXXX, they are to be thoroughly screened, amnesticized, and then released back into the general population.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for the Uranmaschine-Züchter 1 reactor complex in the German province of Saxony. The complex was built by the covert Nazi German nuclear weapons program (Uranprojekt) under the administration of the Reichsforschungsrat in the Spring of 1944, with direct authorization for its construction given from Hermann Göring.
The outside facilities surrounding SCP-XXXX are non-anomalous, however nonetheless hazardous due to radioactive particles that have coated the area. Foundation clean-up crews have made only certain sections of the complex safe for temporary human usage. Efforts are being increased to contain the radioactive fallout from the complex, with the construction of a large concrete superstructure being planned.
The interior of SCP-XXXX itself is a highly radioactive, spatially entangled, discontinuous non-euclidean space. This space is constantly changing in effective structure and is extremely hazardous due to the risk of becoming entangled into space or time loops. Dematerializations from space continuity failures are another hazard present. The outer sections of the building contain miscellaneous control rooms and maintenance areas. The inner section of the building contains the UMZ-1 reactor and housing. All attempts to reach close proximity of the reactor have failed, and only the outer sections have been explored.
Reality Anchors have little to no effect on SCP-XXXX. Kant Counters frequently fail to output Hume level measurements within SCP-XXXX, seemingly caused by the Kant Counter failing to detect local reality. If a measurement does successfully output, it is frequently inconsistent with previously recorded measurements. Averages of recorded Hume levels show a Hume level close to baseline reality (1Hm). The baseline reality average and/or the lack of reality to manipulate could potentially explain why Reality Anchors fail to have an effect on SCP-XXXX.
UMZ-1 itself is likely anomalous in construction. Recovered Uranprojekt documentation states that UMZ-1 is 'capable of n-local folds allowing for synthesis of currently unfeasible to manufacture elements and materials using only minuscule amounts of uranium for catalyst.' It is unknown if UMZ-1 was capable of this process, and it is currently unfeasible to confirm it due to the condition of the complex and it's difficulty to explore. However, the existence of the building's spatial anomaly implies that the Uranprojekt engineers likely had the capability of altering local space.
Historical documents state that in early 1945, UMZ-1 suffered a catastrophic meltdown. These documents describe that this formed an "interlocked local space continuity fracture", which is the Uranprojekt's explanation for SCP-XXXX's anomalous nature. Following the meltdown, German authorities rapidly formed a 30 kilometer exclusion zone around the complex, which is maintained to the present by Foundation security.
SCP-XXXX's existence was known to the Foundation by 1944 after several Uranprojekt scientists defected to numerous western nations. Through contacts in these nations, the Foundation was informed of SCP-XXXX's intended purpose and likely anomalous construction. The Foundation by the end of 1944 had made agreements with all parties involved in World War 2, save for the Soviet Union. These agreements reinforced that the Foundation would seize SCP-XXXX and all personnel and assets related to it. However, the Foundation was initially unsuccessful in acquiring SCP-XXXX, due to Soviet forces capturing it shortly before Germany's surrender.
In the Spring of 1951, Foundation acquisition teams successfully seized, acquired, terminated, or integrated all remaining personnel, equipment, and documentation related to the Uranprojekt, and SCP-XXXX itself from Soviet forces. During this time, Foundation tensions with the Soviet Union increased to near complete hostility and several ceasefires had to be negotiated.
On 16/11/1952, an expedition was sent into SCP-XXXX in order to ascertain the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX. This expedition was composed of three Foundation agents trained in anomalous location exploration and radioactive hazards.

Alpha: I'm noticing something strange, this room looks brand new. It's clean. Looks like it hasn't been used.
Command: Noted.
Gamma: Who the hell is that? Hey, you! Wait, where'd he go?
Beta: Command, person sighted, tall, white, clean shaven, white coat, glasses.
Command: Out here we're certain the facility is empty, except for you.
Alpha: Apparently not!
Command: The lab guys out here say that you may be dealing with some sort of time distortion. You might be seeing the - uh, yes, the older version of the facility when it was still staffed.
Alpha: How should we deal with the… people we are seeing?
Command: Hold for a sec. (Pauses) They're just giving me shrugs. Ignore them for now.
Alpha: Copy, moving forward.
A few minutes pass with occasional radio checks.
Alpha: Hey, weren't we just here?
Gamma: God damn it, we're in a loop.
Beta: No, wait, this place is older. Look at all the dust.
Gamma: Oh, so we're in a space and time loop.
Alpha: Gamma, shut up.
Command: Alpha, try to leave ASAP, these distortions could leave you trapped in there.
Alpha: Copy, exiting.
A very loud alarm is heard over the radio.
Gamma: What the hell is that?
Alpha: Command, an alarm is going off - someone over the intercom system is counting down from 45.
Command: Noted.
40 seconds pass, and a loud electrical hum can be heard through the radio.
Alpha: Command, something really big just turned on.
Command: Noted, we're feeling nothing out here.
Gamma: Wait, where did Alpha go?
Beta: He's right there - where is he? Command, we can't find Alpha. Wait, Gamma? Where'd you go?
Command: Egress immediately!
15 seconds pass.
Command: Team, radio check.
Command: Beta, radio check.
Beta: They've walked off the edge of… some sort of slithering crack. I can see down - no, see isn't right, and down isn't right either, its - I don't - (Pauses) The hole it leads to, it's not designed for us, its space just beyond the bounds of perception, I can't - I'm not supposed to understand - I don't know how to, and I - I think they're in there, Command.
Command: Beta?
Beta: I - I'm hearing people yelling, the complex, someone is yelling about a pin, the pin, the pin is very important… Another alarm, 'reactor failure, reactor failure'. I'm gonna… I'm gonna try leaving, I'm not feeling right.
Command: Beta, listen to me, what are your surroundings? Do you know the way to the nearest exit?
Command: Beta, respond.
Command: Damn it, calling team MIA.
30 minutes pass without event.
Gamma: Command, I - I'm outside, did you hear anything I said?
Command: Gamma? No, I didn't. Is Beta or Alpha with you?
Gamma: I… uh, don't see - I think I'm alone.
Command: What happened?
Gamma: I - I um, fell into a hole, and came out the other side, I think.
Command: Right… head back for debrief.
[END LOG]
Beta and Alpha were never recovered in any form. Due to the now apparent dangers of SCP-XXXX, no further expeditions were mounted until better exploration methods were drafted.
The following is a section of Gamma's debrief directly after the first expedition in to SCP-XXXX.
[BEGIN LOG]
Researcher ██████: What is the hole you mentioned when you came back?
Gamma: I - look, do I have to explain it?
Researcher ██████: It would be helpful if you tried your best to.
Gamma: Well, I, okay. It's like a hole I guess. It's like if I was walking somewhere, and suddenly I just walked somewhere I didn't expect. It's like you fell in a hole, but it wasn't an accident. You were intended to go there by your path of travel, you just didn't expect what you got.
Researcher ██████: Okay… I suppose I get it.
Gamma: Do you? There was something about that place, doctor. I close my eyes and I see - no, remember it. It's like if you know something is in the darkness, but you just can't see it. I can't tell you, show, I - I was a mute-deaf man in a world of voices and waves, I wasn't supposed to be there, that place isn't for any of us. Whatever is in that hole, it's not meant to have… things - reality inside of it, it's an oversight, an oversight God missed. (Pauses) And something threw me out of it.
Gamma stares at the corner of the room.
Gamma: I tried looking for Alpha. I couldn't find him… how could I? I think I need rest, doctor. I'm not feeling right.
Researcher ██████: ████, you okay? Do you need to be looked at?
Gamma: No, I'm fine. Just need some rest.
Researcher ██████: Alright. Go get some sleep.
[END LOG]
The following is a compilation of documentation, diaries and journals related to SCP-XXXX and the Uranprojekt.
Dear ██████
If you've found this, it means I'm already gone. I've gone West, and I'll be in their hands shortly. I have many explanations and reasons for this, but none of them are of particular use, save for one. The Uranium Society. This endless drain of finite resources. This horrendous folding pile, fold, fold, compress, fold. When will you, and the rest of this miserable society, learn that nature is not to be played with?
What we're doing here is the greatest, most treacherous form of crime, it's a crime against God. He calls for us to stop, and yet we persist because we have to win an ultimately petty conflict! When will you stop being oblivious to His warning? What if it fractures? What if He comes down from the heavens to do what He did of Gomorrah? Circles, Möbius, loops! We talk about these dangers like they're insignificant and out of sight and I can't accept this anymore. You've seen these "insignificant" threats occur in our experiments! This negligence and insanity will be the end of you, the end of this Earth, and the end of this godforsaken Reich. When you compress the folds beyond God's limits, we'll walk off the edge of the fracture, and we will become a part of the paradox that it leads to.
I'm not going to be part of this insanity any longer. When the World ends, and the folds crease, fracture, tear, rip themselves apart because of our damning hubris, I won't be at it's source. Others will follow. They will come West with me. They feel the same. I won't name them, and you won't be able to stop them. Plans have already been prepared and executed.
If for once you ever listen to reason, listen just this once. I need you to destroy this blasted contraption. I don't really have any notion of how you should do it, but you need to. If you can't destroy it and send it into the depths, use the pin. The pin will hold the folds together. You know it will. I know you don't like the concept of pins, you like the clips better, but if the folds crease and fracture, you'll have wanted the pin.
Goodbye.
15/1/1945
If that treasonous bastard and his bunch of cowards didn't leave, this might not have happened! We would be outputting Neptunium by now. London would be in ashes! Instead of that, I have to depend on this poorly constructed contingency. Why did I listen to him? A foul traitor. I should've used a clip. We might've been able to recover from this. I wouldn't have lost so many damn people.
Does he think the Anglo-Saxons are just going to let him go? They're going to use them. Who knows what sort of deals they've made with Stalin, imagine if they exchanged them! The thought of it makes me sick. They'll be used, and they'll make another pile. They'll make another one and they're going to use it for wicked things.
I still don't know who died, and who has been found. I've asked them to recover the bodies, but no one will enter the building, the cowards. Instead, they're making this exclusion zone. They're just going to let the bodies rot in there. Those were good men, they gave their lives to Germany, and this is how they repay them!?
I think stress is getting to me. I keep seeing things. I need some rest. I'm not feeling right.
Dear ██████
I'm afraid to say that it will most likely be impossible to recover the deceased within the facility. I know that is probably not what you wanted to hear, but I have orders, and I have some morals. I'm not going to send in my men to die. That place is a deathtrap. They go in, they don't come out. They go in, they show up as desiccated corpses. I've had only a single man come out alive, and he mutters nonsense about God, his eyes, colors - nothing decipherable. I don't know what you did in there, but it's horrific.
That isn't to say I'm not sympathetic, and I do apologize for not being able to do more. I wish to recover the men I've sent as well. I just don't think its possible. We're currently establishing a 30 kilometer exclusion zone, and we hope that once the Americans reach us, they'll heed our warnings and maintain the zone. I do not believe for a moment the communists will reach the area first.
Sincerely,
Captain ██████████

The Soviets should not have played with things no one can ever understand. This Chernobyl business. It must be another fold compression. It can't be anything else. They must've had a pin, a clip, something to contain it. I bet it was a clip, the fallout is too much for a pin. If they're going to copy us why can't they copy the one thing that saved us? The Earth - no, creation cannot handle more of these fractures.
They claim it was some sort of fission accident. It can't be. The Soviets have the pile, don't they? They've seen what it can do. It's much more than just breeding - synthesis, its capable of producing things beyond God's creation, things we should've never seen, the hole we should not fall into from the edge, no, it should not exist. ██████ fell out of creation, he should be dead, but he isn't. He can't be, the fracture, that path falling away from the Lord's boundaries, is a place beyond death and salvation.
I see him still.
This is not from my old body, I am as lucid as ever - no, more lucid. I can see things people can't. I can see what people should see but never do. Its from the pile, that ungodly sight into the pit it formed is what gives me this. It's Adam and Eve, when they first saw they weren't clothed.
Its the pile, that's it.
He's stuck somewhere in that pile. He appears and disappears - no, he exists and then unexists. He is inside that contraption and it's because of me, the society. I can be laying in bed, thousands of kilometers from that forsaken pile, and I see him staring at me. No, not at me, but at my sins, he knows what pit I found and cracked open. He has gained unnatural knowledge of it, the same of the type I posses. It's punishment. It's punishment for my sins against God's will.
Earth's hope rests upon a man I once called a treasonous coward. That pin, child of a brilliant man gifted by God, that pin must hold and the folds must not unwind, or else we will become a part of the fractured pile.
There he is. He's looking at me again.
Note: Dr. ██████ ████████ avoided capture in Yugoslavia until 1987. He was located when he attempted to return to SCP-XXXX for an unknown reason. He died from natural causes before he could be fully interrogated.
UNLIKELY RELEASE
These SCP drafts are considered (by me) to be most likely unreleaseable due to larger issues.
Declassified, my [REDACTED]!
this concept orginates from this https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2015/mar/19/amtrak-lounge-car-complaints/
this skip has the issue that I couldn't even figure out where exactly to go with this, even though the execution of the documents seems to be well liked. It's only liked by a few people that either get the original Amtrak joke or enjoy making fun of real life and in-universe redactions.
Secondary Class:
{$secondary-class}
Document affected by SCP-XXXX.
Special Containment Procedures: At-risk organizations, if suitable, have been given the software and equipment necessary for the detection and neutralization of SCP-XXXX instances. Unsuitable at-risk organizations are to be scanned in their entirety by Foundation AIs if SCP-XXXX instances are suspected to be present.
Internal Foundation databases are at a severe risk of SCP-XXXX infection. Foundation AIs have been tasked to routinely scan for and delete SCP-XXXX instances. If possible, these instances are to be restored from backups.
One instance of SCP-XXXX is to be stored in Site-██ on a no-degrade external containment drive.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous phenomenon where classified or confidential documentation is nonsensically sanitized and altered to appear declassified. These SCP-XXXX instances act as vectors for other documents to be affected by SCP-XXXX.
The mechanism of infection is both physical and digital. Digital instances infect other files on the system's storage devices. Physical instances will infect other physical documents within a range of ~1 meter. The rate of infection is exponential, with the number of infected documents doubling every 2 days if enough documents are present.
The mechanism that decides what information SCP-XXXX obscures is unknown. Visible sections of an instance often imply nonsensical or misleading conclusions, however at other times they serve as useful insights into the original document's subject. Instances that seem like genuinely declassified documents have been released by organizations, causing significant breaches of containment.
Addendum XXXX.1: Affected Organizations
SCP-XXXX has been noted to have caused several operational issues for many organizations. These include and are not limited to:
- The Foundation
- Global Occult Coalition
- Unusual Incidents Unit (U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation)
- All of the respective intelligence agencies of the United Nations Security Council
- National Railroad Passenger Corporation ('Amtrak')
Addendum XXXX.2: Examples
SCP-XXXX instances can be altered to be non-anomalous. Examples of safe instances are shown below:
Packet Loss
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a standard containment locker in Site-15.
Research must be approved by an Electronic Anomalies Division senior researcher. Any research with cognitohazards must have approval from the current residing Memetics Division director following Incident XXXX.01.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a blue 5 meter ISO/IEC 11801 compliant Category 5e ("CAT5e") twisted pair cable with two male 8P8C connectors.
Any data transmitted through SCP-XXXX appears to arrive instantaneously at the receiving end, in contrast to a non-anomalous ‘CAT 5e’ cable which has a nonzero propagation delay. Initially, the data produced at the receiving end of the cable will not match the data that was transmitted. Instead, the received data appears to be based on a subjective interpretation of the ideas in the source data rather than an exact match. Over the period of time it would take an equivalent, non-anomalous ‘CAT 5e’ cable to transmit the data, the data transmitted by SCP-XXXX will gradually show a more accurate representation of the ideas in the source data until it is identical at the end of transmission time.
Interpretations for data that is not subjective are not consistent. Certain sequences of numbers will become correctly interpreted within nanoseconds, such as the Fibonacci numbers or a list of primes. However, other mathematical sequences will be incorrectly interpreted, with nearly every single version of the data being off by orders of magnitude.
Interpretations for cognitohazards and other memetic anomalies have been shown to result in [REDACTED]
Addendum XXXX.1: Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered on ██/██/2001 after Foundation technicians attempted to diagnose an issue with a Foundation server cluster located in Site-██. Testing revealed unusual outputs from a server connector causing server failures. This was then determined to be a result from the cable, which appeared anomalous. It was then reported to Foundation authorities.
Addendum XXXX.2: Test Logs
A specialized computer has been constructed in Site-██ to capture 5 interpretations generated by SCP-XXXX. This allows for testing, of which some notable results are listed below.
CAP-1 is always the earliest possible capture.
RESEARCHER: Researcher Keith
INPUT DATA: JPEG file of SCP-XXXX.
PURPOSE: Determine the result of images in SCP-XXXX.
OUTPUT DATA: Image appears to be a steel, rusted pipe on a black background. Both ends are open.
Researcher's Note: That's… sort of the idea? Moves things from one end to the other I suppose.
OUTPUT DATA: Image appears to be a painted red steel pipe on a black background, with a male mechanical connector and a female mechanical connector.
OUTPUT DATA: Image appears to be a red cable on a white background, with unknown male and female connectors. The cable is not casting shadows on the background.
OUTPUT DATA: Image appears to be a blue cable on a white background, with RJ45 male and female connectors.
OUTPUT DATA: Identical to source data.
RESEARCHER: Researcher Keith
INPUT DATA: Very short story written by Researcher Keith.
"Keith saw a bunny today. Keith wanted to pet the bunny, but it was too far away. The moral of the story is that really far away things can't be pet."
PURPOSE: Determine the results of short stories.
OUTPUT DATA: "A guy saw a cute animal in the distance. He wanted to pet it, but couldn't. Far away things can't be pet."
OUTPUT DATA: "Ken saw a cute puppy far away. He wanted to pet it, but it was too far. The moral is that far things can't be pet."
OUTPUT DATA: "Keith saw a cute rabbit far away. Keith wanted to pet the rabbit, but it was too far. The moral is that far things can't be pet."
OUTPUT DATA: "Keith saw a rabbit. Keith wanted to pet the rabbit, but it was too far. The moral of the story is that far things can't be pet."
OUTPUT DATA: "Keith saw a bunny. Keith wanted to pet the bunny, but it was too far away. The moral of the story is that far away things can't be pet."
Researcher's Note: It really was a cute bunny.
RESEARCHER: Researcher Keith
INPUT DATA: Text file containing the string "The set of all sets contains itself."
PURPOSE: Determine the results of mathematical paradoxes.
OUTPUT DATA: "…sets of sets of sets of sets…"
The resulting file output on the computer resulted in an approximately 110 gigabyte file that overwrote all data on disk. Data was eventually recovered after transfer to another computer.
Researcher's Note: Let's never do that again.
Incident XXXX.01: [REDACTED]
[LEVEL 4 | CLXXXX-02 | MD] REQUIRED
Incident XXXX.01: SCP-XXXX Test 54
TEST LOG: FILE SCP:/XXXX/testlogs/test54.log
RESEARCHER: Researcher Keith
INPUT DATA: Cognitohazardous image that results in a single sneeze if the viewer is D-Class.
PURPOSE: Determine the results of cognitohazards in SCP-XXXX.
FOREWORD: Cognitohazard was provided by the Memetics Division. Testing was performed with D-3942.
RESULT: D-3942 sneezed twice upon looking at the produced image.
Researcher's Note: SCP-XXXX can create new anomalies, apparently.
RESULT: D-3942 began to sneeze repeatedly after looking at the image. Subject sneezed 542 times in 10 minutes. Subject stated to be in pain, and requested that the test be stopped. Subject was given 20 minutes and pain medication before restarting testing.
Researcher's Note: Thankfully, they gave us a weak cognitohazard.
RESULT: D-3942 screamed for approximately 10 seconds. After that point, subject collapsed onto the floor, and went into a fetal position. D-3942 died approximately 35 seconds later from cardiac arrest.
Researcher's Note: This is a horrifying result. Instead of just amplifying the effect like previously, it amplified the intention of the image and made it lethal.
This thing almost seems more useful as a tool now. What if we just made weak cognitohazards, and used SCP-XXXX as a 'shotgun' and try to get results we want?
That being said, consider this my formal request to transfer all further cognitohazard research to the Memetics Division guys. This is clearly beyond my scope now.
NOTE: Researcher Keith purged the following two captures saying "It would be cruel." to continue testing with additional D-Class. CAP-3 was saved and sent to the Memetics Division.
INTERNAL MEMETICS DIVISION MEMO:
RESULTS OF SCP-XXXX TEST 54 AND THE MEMETICS DIVISION
As you've no doubt heard, SCP-XXXX Test 54 boosted a cognitohazard to the level of a working unauthorized personnel kill-agent. Yes, a single SCP object, within a few minutes, blew a decade of work out of the water. It is an absolutely astounding result.
And before any of you start sending emails to me about it, yes, I've already requested the transfer of XXXX to Site-41. And yes, you'll be able to experiment with it. However, I must stress something very, very important before you guys do something stupid. In the past decade, getting to any sort of extreme with a Foundation cognitohazard has been your goal, as we've had nothing but failure. This is no longer going to be your goal.
This object generates a swath of cognitohazards on demand. It requires caution. What if we generate a virulent infohazard vector? What if we create a cognitohazard that appears to work, but will fail to work when we need it most? There is dozens of these problems I could pose. You will have to find answers to these problems before we can do anything with this object.
Hell, we need to ask ourselves this first: should we use it? Should we use an anomaly to make more anomalies? I know with how much you've slaved away to get as far as we have, you probably think it's ridiculous of me to even pose the question. But, the question must at least be stated. We're the Foundation, we don't use anomalies to make more anomalies.
I think someone above all of our clearance level is going to answer that question for us. There is an extreme demand for kill-agents from everywhere in the Foundation. Audio, visual, infohazardous, every type conceivable they want. If we deploy even just a few of these, it will probably be the biggest event in this division's history.
With that out of the way, welcome to a new era of the Memetics Division.
— Memetics Division Director ████████
NOTE: SCP-XXXX was deemed no longer necessary for cognitohazard production on 5/24/2002. Due to this, SCP-XXXX has been reclassified as Safe.
Ideas list!
- Underwater U.S anomalous detection system, Foundation seizes said detection system and it causes some sort of international incident that wouldn't have happened if the Foundation did not seize it
- GRU Division-P article on SCP-3685 before capture by the Foundation, and then supplemental article on Chernobyl
- Based on a friend's dreams, objects appearing in dreams in gloomy, personless dreams that basically haunt the person who is dreaming. Things like dump trucks and locomotives with familiar locations.
- Some sort of location filled with communist/extremist sentient spiders. Should have a sort of orkish mentality, where any appropriate location becomes better for spiders. Starting idea is a naval vessel.
- Objects in space that have enough gravity to form lenses eventually form a sentience based on the resemblance to an eyeball.
- Awesome Image Fuel: Image of the Apollo 13 Command Module after oxygen tank detonation. SCP uses that as fuel for the rest of the article about Apollo 13.
- SCP phenomenon that when SCP objects are simulated in virtual environments (for say, training purposes), those virtual items sometimes take on the anomalous affects of those items.
- A theory of quantum gravity that uses anomalous science to explain it - thus it can't be revealed.
- Headcanon of a power, noble Ethics Committee:
- Young person who has an anomalous organ outputting enormously powerful coded radio frequencies. Ethics Committee finds that this SCP would be trivially easy to decommission and restore normal life to the individual. O5 Council is eventually involved as the radio transmissions still haven't been decoded - and they wish to keep the SCP contained, and the Ethics Committee overpowers them. The SCP is decommissioned, and the young person is hired as a IT, janitor, something due to the difficulty of removing 8 months of memories.
