Mr Mcguffin

Item#: SCP-5205

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP 5205’s location and nature, any method of physical containment is impossible. All attempts to neutralize it have failed. Research into methods of containment are ongoing. Personnel that are in the middle of incorporation are to be immediately administered Class-B amnestics, and must have their brainwaves monitored for 24 hours before immediate reassignment to a new project. Personnel who are fully incorporated by SCP-5205 are to be immediately shot on sight. Failure to contain SCP-5205 is predicted to constitute an EK-Class event, resulting in the demise of all human consciousness within 300 days.

Description: SCP-5205 is an invisible entity of unknown origin that acts to expand its control over creatures it determines as sentient by incorporating them into a hive-mind. The entity in question has no form in the physical world, but instead takes the form of the consciousness of subjects it is attempting to infect through theta brainwaves. It has been observed to put subjects into a daydream-like trance and causes them to think of their greatest desire. Subjects who have been questioned claimed to have experienced a feeling of immense ecstasy during this stage of incorporation. It has been observed that subjects who have been in this state for over twenty minutes will then become unconscious and their brains will start to emit high amounts of delta brainwaves. About two minutes after falling unconscious, the subject will suddenly start emitting high amounts of beta brain waves and awaken with their eyes emitting an anomalous dark blue glow.

Subjects interviewed after incorporation have said that they accepted SCP-5205’s “gift” and have experienced "the great clarity". Observations done by the foundation of subjects who have been incorporated by SCP-5205 have shown to be extremely hostile to anyone who is not within SCP-5205’s hive mind: becoming an SCP-5205-A instance. Subjects who have been observed making direct eye contact with an SCP-5205-A instance will become infected with SCP-5205, who will attempt to incorporate the subject into its hive-mind. When fatally wounded, the SCP-5205-A instance will emit a high-pitched scream which has been theorized by foundation staff to be a defense mechanism used by the hive mind to alert other nearby drones to its location to attack the being who killed the drone. This however, does not happen when an SCP-5205-A instance is fatally wounded in the cranium.

Additional: SCP-5205-B is a notebook containing an official report on the SCP-5205 which was found in [REDACTED] inside the archives of the foundation without any object carrying the 5205 designation. Analysis of the notebook has found that it is made of the same materials that make up a normal spiral notebook. However, the object’s state of matter seems to be fixed in its state as a solid. Further experimentation has also found that the object cannot suffer any chemical change. The sections on SCP-5205’s special containment procedures and the description were taken directly from this official foundation document.The notebook also contains journal entries from a scientist whose name doesn’t correspond to any known foundation staff member. SCP-5205-B is contained within a 1 x 1 x 1 meter cell. The containment chamber is to have minimal security except for a 24/7 CCTV camera to monitor any anomalous properties the object may have that haven’t been recorded by the foundation. Weekly analysis of CCTV footage is mandatory and research staff assigned to SCP-5205-B are to immediately notify foundation scientists upon knowledge of the camera feed going dead.

Addendum 5205-1: Experimentation re: SCP-5205-B’s durability

Experiment A: Researchers instructed 1 D-Class personnel to cut the pages within SCP-5205-B with a pair of scissors
Result: SCP-5205-B suffered no physical damage to its pages, however the pair of scissors became bent to the point of uselessness.

Experiment B: Researchers exposed SCP-5205-B to flame
Result: Upon making contact with the flame, SCP-5205-B suffered no physical or chemical change during time of exposure. The object was also found to have not absorbed any of the heat from the flame.

Experiment C: Researchers placed SCP-5205 into container of molten metal
Result: SCP-5205 suffered no obvious physical damage to its front, back, and inside and did not absorb any of the heat from the molten metal.

Experiment D: Researchers placed SCP-5205-B into SCP-914 and turned the dial to the "fine" setting
Result: SCP-5205-B came out the other side with no obvious changes made to its physical state or internal materials.

Experiment E: Researchers placed SCP-5205-B into SCP-914 and turned the dial to the "rough" setting
Result: SCP-5205-B came out the other side with no discernible physical changes made to the object.

Experiment F: Researchers placed SCP-5205-B into SCP-914 and turned the dial to the "very fine" setting
Result: SCP-5205-B came out the other side with no discernible difference in the object or its contents.

Experiment G: Researchers placed SCP-5205-B into a pool of hydro-chloric acid
Result: SCP-5205 suffered no observable physical damage when removed from the pool. Later observations found that it hadn’t suffered any chemical change either.

Addendum 5205-2: By executive order of the Administrator, no further experimentation is to be carried out between SCP-5205-B and SCP-914. No further experiments are to be done involving SCP-5205-B being exposed to other SCPs.

Addendum 5205-3: Research team requests to change the designation of SCP-5205-B to a separate SCP designation.
Administrator: Request has been denied by the authority of the O5 council.

God.. where do I begin? Everything has been so chaotic and violent recently that I don’t know who to trust. Let me start from the beginning. My name is Daniel Patrician, I am or.. used to be a scientist for the SCP foundation. Our foundation had set out with the goal of containing and or neutralizing any paranormal threats to humanity. That was until we encountered it.

It all started with one of our guys, his eyes glowed dark blue and he became extremely violent towards the rest of us. He… no it killed two of our scientists and we were forced to contain it. We interviewed it and it spoke to us through our colleague´s body, but it gave us little in the way of information about what it was or what it was trying to do. Over a short period of time, it successfully took over the rest of the foundation including the O5 council. The rest… were slaughtered.

Everyone I know is dead…

I’m currently held up in the old blast shelter at site ██. This place seems to have been deserted ever since the ransacking by 682 and the army of drones. I forgot to mention this in the last entry, but SCP-5205 took over the other SCP’s minds. It would then use them as weapons in its ever expanding army of drones. SCP-682 was the first to fall under its control, then SCP-049 and soon most sentient SCPs were incorporated into the hive-mind. Oh yeah, I also forgot to explain what exactly happened. I know I was kind of vague in the last entry.

It all started with Project Ruina, we were studying this anomalous phenomenon where entire colonies of ants and bees would all collectively die at once for no discernible reason. They would all gather into a collective mass with the queen in the center and then cease all locomotion and sit there until they starved. It was just plain unsettling and none of it sat right with me. I guess it didn’t sit right with the foundation either.

We eventually made a breakthrough when we discovered that the insect formations were nano-like in that the shapes of the masses were a complex set symbols that one of the scientists on our team, Dr. Rankee, deciphered. After he cracked the code, he started coming into the lab during the evening hours and was caught messing with the specimens. He kept saying how he was doing this for the good of mankind. Nobody understood exactly what he meant or what he was doing to them. Eventually, after I think the third time he was caught he fell into some sort of trance and he was taken to a foundation neuromedical center. His brain waves changed from theta to delta after twenty minutes of this trance and then suddenly switched to beta waves after only two minutes. When it awoke, it attacked and killed two of the doctors with this creepy dark blue glow in his eyes.

None of us knew why at the time, but the answer should have been obvious to us from the start. After we sedated and contained it, we interviewed the entity as it could communicate through his body. I have the transcript taped down below this entry. Rankee’s vital signs ceased and the interview had to be cut short. 5205 then started incorporating everyone working on the project soon after. We were able to contain and study them for a short time before the O5s just ended the project out of nowhere and told us to prepare for reassignment to a new project. I can’ t tell if it was because it incorporated them or if they were just as scared as we were.

I escaped the chaos by resigning from my post at site [REDACTED] and hiding out in different hidden bunkers and abandoned sites and never staying in one location for too long. I’ve learned through recent foundation terminal entries that it had also taken over the minds of the leaders of the GOC as well and destroyed other organizations, like the Church of the Broken God. I’ve lost contact with all of my colleagues, I’m assuming that I’m one of the last members of the foundation still trying to save humanity.

I’m going to check the east wing tomorrow morning to see if there are any other survivors, but I’m doubtful I’ll find anyone.

Interviewer: Dr. ███████

Interviewee: SCP-5205

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. ███████ : Now, are you going to talk or are we going to have t-

SCP-5205: (Communicating through Dr. Rankee ) We will talk doctor, I can assure you of that.

Dr. ███████ : Ok, but why are you referring to yourself as ¨We¨?

SCP-5205: Because we are one. Every sentient being that has experienced the great clarity.

Dr. ███████ : Great clarity? What do you mean?

SCP-5205: Why it is the inevitable final stage of the evolutionary path of all sentient organisms. A great mass realization as one is many and as many as one.

Dr. ███████ : You still haven’t explained exactly what it is.

SCP-5205: That is because you haven’t experienced it yet, but you will in time.

Dr. ███████ : We’ll just move on to the next question then. Now, why did you kill those scientists?

SCP-5205: (No Verbal Communication)

Dr. ███████ : Answer me, or we’ll put you back into containment.

SCP-5205: (No Verbal Communication)

Dr. ███████ : Answer me!

SCP-5205: You can never contain us. We are an inevitability. We are everyone. We are unity. We are the great consciousness. (Dr. Rankee’s nose starts to bleed and his head hits the table)

Dr. ███████ : (Aside) Get foundation medical personnel in the interrogation room now! Subject’s vital signs have ceased and needs medical attention immediately!

I arrived at the east wing of the site this morning. I had to travel during the evening to avoid drawing any attention to myself. That’s another thing I forgot to mention. Whenever 5205 army of drones are done ransacking a site, they’ll leave a handful of drones around the location to catch any surviving foundation personnel who might be inclined to seek out sites that have more supplies inside them. I ran into one of these stragglers last night. A straggling SCP-5205-A instance in the body of some random D-Class. It just stood in place… motionless. The sight gave me the chills as it just kept a fixed stare on… nothing. I had to shoot it otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to get to the east wing. You always have to have a silencer on your gun so as to not draw attention to your location and you should always shoot them in the head. Shooting them in any other place will just allow them to let out this scream they do to alert other drones nearby of your location. I didn’t…. I couldn’t look at the life drain from that man’s body… and yet I did. God… it was like looking at the scene of a car wreck. You look at it even though you don’t want to at the same time.

I hate this place…. I was right. There aren’t any survivors in the east wing. I’m gonna go investigate the terminals, see if I can get any useful information out of them.

I’ve been reading the terminal entries… they make me sick. They’re using them… the other SCPs. Not only the ones that it controls, but the others. The ones that can give it access to other dimensions. It seems as if it wants to spread to other dimensions and incorporate all sentient life into its unified hive-mind. The entries said that some survivors have sabotaged some of these SCPs and made it harder for it to travel to other dimensions. Most notably, one surviving D-Class killed SCP-507 before he could be incorporated and another survivor… a scientist destroyed SCP-2264 somehow. I don’t know how either of them did it, but it’s become a major setback for 5205. This gave me the idea of sending this journal and document to another dimension. Maybe they can stop… maybe their foundation won’t make the same mistakes we did. Maybe they won’t fail and will stop 5205. Hopefully, this doesn’t arrive too late. If you are reading this… if you are a foundation archivist, scientist, or hell even an O5 Council member…
you must prepare… and pray to God that you don’t become like us.

I should probably have mentioned this before, but the reason I keep forgetting to include key information about what’s going on is due to me taking Class-B amnestics so often, it’s jacked my short-term memory up. They’re the only thing that can really stop it from incorporating you. I’ve had frequent headaches and I can’t remember anything about how I got here. I’ve checked the terminal entries in the database and it’s all… screwed up. Apparently, it’s given its drones a new directive… exterminate. The drones are now becoming more agitated and I’m afraid to go outside because those things are already tough to kill normally, but I don’t wanna know what they’re like when they’re at their most violent.

I’m gonna try and head for site 17 to see if I can find any SCPs that can transport this warning message…. Please God tell me there’s a way.

I made it to site 17 finally. These abandoned sites always give me the creeps. The cacophonous silence is deafening. I can’t stand it! I found an old D-Class cell I can sleep in for the night. I can hear faint screams coming from somewhere deep in the site. It wasn’t a drone’s scream, but more like a person’s. I couldn’t tell if it was just me or if someone shot a drone in anywhere but the head.
I swear sometimes I think I’m going crazy…

Journal Entry 0001-7

5/13/22
I’ve been reading up on what happened to some of the high profile scientists and overseers for most of the sites. Most of them got incorporated; as expected. But a few were outliers… most notably Doctors Gears, Bright, Androki, and Clef. Dr. Gears apparently was able to prevent himself from being incorporated somehow. Apparently, 5205 sent an already incorporated MTF search party to find him. They found him dead: he had killed himself. Dr. Androki had escaped to a different reality somehow. Dr. Clef just disappeared… went missing with no explanation as to why or how. Not even 5205 knows. Dr. Bright got the worst of it… you see because his amulet makes him immortal and prevents 5205 from incorporating him.. he’s kind of an outlier of sorts. But 5205… it put Bright through an eternal cycle of torture and death both mentally and physically. Once he dies they just revive him in another body and then do the process all over again in an attempt to drive him insane. I couldn't sit all the way through the entire video without throwing up. Yes, those sick bastards filmed one of the torture sessions. I don’t know why they would film it. I guess it’s because SCP-5205 enjoys it. The thought of that just makes me sick.
I’m gonna keep searching for any SCPs I could use to send this document.

My head hurts so much! The amnestics.. My appetite has decreased and so has my thirst. I don’t know how I got here anymore. I can’t recall what my wife’s name was or how I obtained this journal. They’re all just gaps. I don’t even know if I’m taking the right amnestics, the label on the bottle is gone. I’m gonna check the light containment zone. See if there’s anything useful there.

Journal Entry 0001-9

5/18/22
I’m having trouble remembering my name or why I’m here. I’m scared that I’ll forget what 5205 is and it’ll be able to incorporate me. I don’t trust my conscience anymore. I can’t trust my own thoughts, if you could even call them my own thoughts. There has to be a way…. Can’t sleep…Never sleep.

I finally found it! Apparently there’s an object hidden within the archives of site 17 that teleport objects to different dimensions! I found the document in the drawer of one of the doctors in his office. The designation had been scribbled out, but other than that the object’s description and special containment procedures sections were completely fine. I’m gonna head down there this evening. Can’t sleep. Never sleep. Can’t sleep. Never sleep.
