Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept within site-15's dimensional containment wing inside secure containment unit XXXX. Assembly of task forces to explore SCP-XXXX-1 is only permitted once approved by the head scientist assigned to project ZUIL.
Consumption of SCP-XXXX is only permitted for testing and reconnaissance purposes.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a transparent orange bottle filled with turquoise pills. On the bottle is a label which reads: Perscription: Michael Weathers. Columnol-7. Take one every week
When orally ingested, these pills transport the consumer to what is believed to be a different world or even another dimension. The consumer blacks out approximately five (5) minutes after ingestion and wakes up in a seemingly random location. To outside observers, the consumer's body shrivels up and turns to dust during transportation.
The world to which these people are transported, designated SCP-XXXX-1, seems to be divided into seven (7) different districts or biomes with a large, white pillar in the centre. It appears that the day of the week on which the pill is ingested has an effect on which biome the consumer finds themselves in.
Exploration logs of SCP-XXXX-1 can be found in the addendums below.
Special Containment Procedures: All roads that enter within a 50km radius of SCP-XXXX's centre are to be closed off under the cover story of road works as to not allow SCP-XXXX to come into public view.
Containment Class:
neutralized
Neutralised classification (formerly Keter) was assigned on 30/09/2015 due to incident 5XXX-01, reclassification is permitted given that the current SCP-5XXX shows alterations to behaviour resembling SCP-5XXX-N. Because of this possibility, the article has not yet been updated to match more the more current situation.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XXX is contained in the Stable SRA-5 v2.45 BARTELLA-VERMONT Special Containment Unit, located at Site-521-ß. A standard SRA-5 Unit of this type has dimensions of ten (10) by ten (10) meters. Once every 72h, one D-Class personnel scheduled for termination is to be brought into the containment unit and is to be left there for no less than 30 minutes as to keep SCP-5XXX in a docile state without it.
Site-521 functions independently, but closely works together with the nearby site-386 which houses many other anomalies that do not require their own designated site.
In the event of a site-386 containment breach, the site-521 on-site MTF can initiate security protocol-BARTELLA by manually inserting two (2) of the keys given to the members of the MTF into the control panel outside of SCP-5XXX's containment unit to aid in the evacuation of other personnel.
Description: SCP-5XXX is an entity resembling a member of the equus ferus caballus subspecies. Its body appears to have decomposed to the stage of active decay. SCP-5XXX is invisible to the naked eye and is only viewable by people who are close to their death. This can be a death by either natural or unnatural causes, it is unknown if SCP-5XXX can predict the future, but accidental deaths (f.e.: car crashes) and other unnatural causes of death (f.e.: homicides) that have yet to happen also cause the victim to be able to see it.
People who see SCP-XXXX and then [DATA EXPUNGED] seem to be able to escape death. Most people who achieved this have been reported to have lived the remainder of their lives in peace, the minority were found [REDACTED]. It is unknown if longevity is an additional effect caused by SCP-XXXX, though this has been deemed unlikely due to [DATA EXPUNGED] and its involvement in incident XXXX-01.
SCP-5XXX sustains itself on the fear exhibited by the people affected by it though it is not hostile towards those people.
Addendum-01:
MTF Theta-13-2 ('Horsemen'), a reconnaissance MTF formed from several members of MTF Theta-13 ('Grim Reapers') have reported finding texts and artworks featuring an entity resembling SCP-5XXX that go as far back as the 13th century BC. Theories suggest that SCP-5XXX has always existed, though this cannot be confirmed at this time.
Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a room of regular proportions with white or light grey walls. the room is required to be lit at all times with four large spotlights placed in each upper corner of the room.
No contact is to be made with SCP-XXXX by any members of the staff unless authorised by B-Class personnel or higher. D-class testing is only allowed when authorised by the before mentioned personnel. SCP-XXXX's containment unit is only to be entered by a maximum of five people and a minimum of two at a time. When inside the containment unit, personnel are required to keep their focus on SCP-XXXX-2 as to step on it.
SCP-XXXX does not require any sustenance, it does not require basic humanoid amenities (bed, chair, table, etc.) SCP-XXXX is to be watched at all times in case of electrical failure that would result in the lights in its cell turning off. Emergency power units have to be activated within five minutes of electrical failure or else there exists a high probability of SCP-XXXX breaching containment.
WARNING: THE LIGHTS IN SCP-XXXX'S CONTAINER ARE TO BE LEFT ON AT ALL TIMES
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a humanoid figure of approximately 2m tall. It has the appearance of a shadow as it would be seen on any surface, SCP-XXXX-1 is entirely black, its outline to the observer becoming softer the less intense the light shined on it. It is hypothesised that SCP-XXXX becomes entirely incorporeal when no light is shined onto it, allowing it to easily escape the containment unit.
Instead of a regular shadow, SCP-XXXX-1 casts a transparent, coloured, humanoid shape, projected onto the floor dubbed SCP-XXXX-2, it has the shape and structure of a regular man with black, short hair, wearing a blue-collar shirt and beige pants. (revision after test with SCP-XXXX on January 30th) a bald man wearing a D-Class uniform (revision after the incident May 20th) a man wearing a foundation scientist personnel uniform, the projection's face is that of Dr ███████ Müller
An instance of SCP-XXXX-3
SCP-XXXX-1 is intelligent, it has been seen to react to voices over the intercom in its cell and it moves when told to, SCP-XXXX-1 does not speak. Contrary to this, SCP-XXXX-2 does speak, the sound of the voice not emitting from SCP-XXXX-1's mouth but the projected mouth(s) of SCP-XXXX-2. It has the voice of whichever person it currently has the shape of, though not their consciousness. SCP-XXXX-1 does make head movements as if it was talking, though the darkness of it's form makes no facial features visible.
SCP-XXXX is considered a low-level threat, contact with SCP-XXXX-2, be it intentional or unintentional results in the creation of an SCP-XXXX-3 instance. Direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX-1 results in the disappearance of the person and the alteration of SCP-XXXX-2.
SCP-XXXX-3 are weaker versions of SCP-XXXX-1 that cast no shadow and only exist for approximately 24h before transforming into a fog-like substance and disappearing. These instances are hostile and are to be left alone in case they are discovered inside of SCP-XXXX's cell.
From its containment until the incident on January 10th, weeping could be heard on occasion, originating from within SCP-XXXX's container, camera footage, however, showed no emotion portrayed by SCP-XXXX-1 nor SCP-XXXX-2. After 10/01/20██, the weeping ceased and was replaced by an angry screaming.
One (1) D-Class personnel was sent into SCP-XXXX's container to determine the source of this screaming, upon his safe return, he reported that the sounds were dominating from within SCP-XXXX-1, though the figure itself showed no emotion whatsoever. After the May 20th incident, the screaming ceased and was replaced by an agitated mumbling sound.
It is hypothesised that these sounds are a sort of "echoes" left behind by the person last "taken" by SCP-XXXX and of whom SCP-XXXX-2 has taken its current form.

Audio Log Transcript
Date: 10/11/20██
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr ███████ Müller
Foreword: Communications attempt 10/11/20██. Dr Müller is seated 3m from SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 is seated in front of a white wall with a spotlight shining onto it, projecting SCP-XXXX-2 onto the wall.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr Müller: [to his co-workers] Alright let's get this over with. [he turns to SCP-XXXX] Can you understand me?
SCP-XXXX-2: I can.
Dr Müller: Can you tell us about yourself?
SCP-XXXX-2: I can.
Dr Müller: Oh very funny, okay then let's begin with some basics. Where do you come from?
SCP-XXXX-2: The Shadows.
Dr Müller: Okay, and were you always the way you are now?
[Silence]
*Dr Müller:** Please answer the question.
*
SCP-XXXX-2: In time.
Dr Müller: Excuse me?
SCP-XXXX-2: In time.
Dr Müller: Well we've got all the time in the world.
[SCP-XXXX-2 grins]
SCP-XXXX-2: You don't.
Dr Müller: [Looks over to his co-workers with a confused look] What?
SCP-XXXX-2: Leave, doctor.
Dr Müller: [Aggitated] Hey, you're not my boss, now shut up and answer the questions!
[END LOG]
Closing Statement: The interview was terminated after SCP-XXXX showed signs of aggression towards Dr Müller. SCP-XXXX was promptly returned to its cell.
Test A - 30/01/20██
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Five D-Class personnel are sent into SCP-XXXX's containment unit while wearing audiovisual devices in their uniform, camera surveillance is present. D-Class personnel were instructed to surround SCP-XXXX-1 to see if human presence evokes a hostile reaction.
Results: The test proved negative, no hostile response was received. SCP-XXXX-1 stood still and no sounds could be heard coming from it.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX does not appear hostile to human life specifically.
Test B - 30/01/20██
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Five D-Class personnel are sent into SCP-XXXX's containment unit while wearing audiovisual devices in their uniform, camera surveillance is present. D-Class personnel were instructed to surround SCP-XXXX-1 and shout at it, trying to evoke a reaction.
Results: All D-Class personnel terminated, four new instances of SCP-XXXX-3 were created, change in the form of SCP-XXXX-2 into one of the D-Class personnel.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX is hostile when provoked, it can swiftly remove groups of people. further human contact is strongly advised against.
Audio Log Transcript
Date: 20/05/20██
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr ███████ Müller
Foreword: Further communications attempt 20/05/20██ after abrupt end on 10/05/20██. (See Interview transcript 1 for further info on setup.) 2 armed security personnel entered the room with Dr Müller as a response to the aggressiveness shown in the previous session.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr Müller: So, have you had enough time?
SCP-XXXX-2: It suffices.
Dr Müller: Well good, would you please tell me more about yourself now?
[SCP-XXXX-1 nods its head]
Dr Müller: Let's start simple, do you have a name?
[SCP-XXXX-1 nods its head]
SCP-XXXX-2: The Shadowtaker.
Dr Müller: Okay, and what does that mean?
SCP-XXXX-2: It means I am The Shadowtaker.
Dr Müller: Alright, back to this then? Okay, next question. Who is the person whose form you've taken?
SCP-XXXX-2: You should know better than me. He made a mistake, I do not know his name.
Dr Müller: What are your memories of before being contained?
SCP-XXXX-2: You made a mistake, doctor.
Dr Müller: Exc- Excuse me? Please answer the question.
SCP-XXXX-2: You should have listened to what I told you.
Dr Müller: [Aggitated] I did listen, I gave you time. Now, answer the [CENSOR] question.
SCP-XXXX-2: It is too late now.
[END LOG]
Closing Statement: The interview ended when the light shining onto SCP-XXXX shut off, security personnel watching over the cameras were able to turn on emergency power before the five-minute limit, SCP-XXXX was seen standing in front of the white wall, two instances of SCP-XXXX-3 stood next to it, SCP-XXXX-2's form had taken that of Dr Müller.
Notes: SCP-XXXX is able to influence electric devices in its area, though only once before needing to 'recharge'. further research required.
Special Containment Procedures: Since SCP-3186 is immobile, it is to be contained in a 10mx10m room, with the only safety precaution being that the cell is 100% soundproof. At this moment, all of SCP-3186 are placed atop a regular wooden table.
Personnel that enter SCP-3186’s cell need to wear sound-cancelling headphones or be deaf.
SCP-3186’s cell is to be entered in pairs to avoid getting stuck in the room in cases where the before mentioned headphones failed to properly protect the wearer from SCP-3186’s sounds.
Description: SCP-3186 is a series of differently shaped objects, each consisting of the same, crystal-like outer shell with bright lights in the centre.
The different SCP are referred to as:
- SCP-3186-A: Rubik, shaped like a perfect cube. (16cmx16cmx16cm)
- SCP-3186-B: Giza, shaped like a perfect pyramid. (base: 15cmx15cm height: 15cm)
- SCP-3186-C: Terra, shaped like a perfect sphere. (diameter: 12cm)
- SCP-3186-D: Theseus, shaped like a perfect torus. (diameter: 15cm)
- SCP-3186-E: Emir, shaped like a perfect cylinder. (diameter: 10cm, height: 30cm)
Every one of SCP-3186 has a hard, near-unbreakable outer shell constructed from a rare, radioactive element seen nowhere else on earth. Foundation personnel have dubbed it ████████. Every instance of SCP-3186 have a seemingly unwithering heat source contained within them, whenever any living organism - excluding sentient non-organic SCPs - comes within 7.89 meters of SCP-3186, SPC-3186 starts emitting heat and screeching sounds that can reach up to 75°C and 20kHz respectively. The soundwaves paralyse any humanoid organism who comes within its radius and is not wearing protective gear,
Whenever the organism is removed from the 7.89m radius, it takes about 30 minutes for them to regain feeling and most personnel have gotten away from SCP-3186 with minor burns.
The most reasonable ongoing theory is that SCP-3186 was created by or arrived during the Theia-Impact where a Mars-sized planet crashed into the earth and later -together with some debris- formed the moon, the energy sources inside SCP-3186 are believed to be fragments of highly concentrated energy splintered off from the main collision, it is believed that the crystal formed around these balls of energy because of the heat, the crystal is made out of a very similar material as some of the rocks collected on the moon, why it has the different perfect shapes is still unknown.
Research Purpose: Further research conducted on SCP-3186 could greatly benefit the Foundation, there have been multiple attempts to break the outer shell of SCP-3186 and extract the energy contained within it. Only one of SCP-3186's shells have cracked so far, namely SCP-3186-█. Although no breach has been made yet.
Exploratory Records: On ██ /██ /████ a Scandinavian team of 6 miners found SCP-3186 in the mines of ███████, a small town in the centre of Sweden while digging at 5km depth, they reported feeling an increasing heat the more they kept digging down.
The foundation was contacted when miner Stefan H. ██████ reported that he found a few of his friends lying on the floor with SCP-3186-A in one of their hands.
SCP-3186’s effects were first officially documented 5 days after its initial discovery when containment procedures began, 4 of the miners were found dead from dehydration with SCP-3186-A and SCP-3186-D lying in between them.
SCP-3186-B and SCP-3186-C were both found in a different, nearby mine in ██████ at around the same depth as SCP-3186-A and SCP-3186-D.
SCP-3186-E was found in the home of a deaf woman that lived alone in a small house in the surrounding area, she claimed she found it while walking through a field and that it kept her safe from invaders, so she had taken it.

Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is located within the large ███████ state forest in central Oregon. A perimeter of a minimum of six (6) kilometres is to be secured around SCP-XXXX with security personnel patrolling it in groups of two (2) or more. At least two (2) psychological professionals are required to be on-site at all times in case of a stage 2 memetic breach in security personnel.
Any on-site personnel are required to perform an MHI-check every thirty (30) minutes to prevent personnel from being irreversibly affected by SCP-XXXX. In case of a stage 3 memetic breach in any personnel, they are to be terminated before they enter SCP-XXXX-01 as to prevent the further spread of SCP-XXXX's effects.
The church containing SCP-XXXX is not to be entered under any circumstances by personnel above Class-D.
SCP-XXXX-1 through SCP-XXXX-14 are contained within site-██ in separate Class-1 humanoid containment cells, they are to be fed on a regular basis and are not to be interacted with without permission from Dr Fabri. Any personnel found interacting with any of SCP-XXXX-1 through 14 are to be given Class-A amnestics and are to be terminated.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a bright light with no apparent source that shines inside of an abandoned church. the light materialises at approximately 10 pm and dissipates at approximately 6 am. SCP-XXXX shines a light blue light that pierces through the dilapidated walls of the church it's contained in and illuminates nearly the entire secure perimeter.
Organisms that come in direct contact with SCP-XXXX's light are given a sudden burst of information and they lose any ability to lie. Depending on the amount of time spent within SCP-XXXX's light the effects become more severe.
Stages of memetic breaches:
Stage 1: After approx. 30-35 minutes of contact, the affected person gains the ability to answer small, unimportant questions. The person still has full control over their mind.
Effects of a stage 1 memetic breach wear off after approximately 24h. Personnel who have reached this stage are to be placed in 24h quarantine at site-██ and be replaced.
Stage 2: After approx. 60-70 minutes of contact, the affected person gains the ability to answer any question correctly. People affected by a stage 2 memetic breach are strangely attracted to SCP-XXXX and try to find ways to reach it.
On ██/██/████ One (1) security personnel named ███████████ ███████ was affected by a stage 2 mental breach, he sprinted towards the church and was unable to be apprehended in time. He was labelled SCP-XXXX-14 after he came into direct contact with SCP-XXXX and entered into a stage 3 breach. His loss was later confirmed after he correctly answered [DATA EXPUNGED].
Personnel affected by a stage 2 memetic breach are to be brought to the on-site medical personnel and are to be evaluated using MHI-XXXX-2. They are then administered Class-B amnestics and are placed in 72-hour quarantine.
Stage 3: After approx. 120 minutes of indirect contact or immediately upon direct contact with SCP-XXXX, the affected person enters a state of trance and sits down in front of SCP-XXXX where they remain until it disappears, upon which point they come out of their trance and start trying to repair the church building using materials found in the forest.
Upon entering a stage 3 breach, the subject gains the designation SCP-XXXX-n. Before the Foundation got involved, 13 different individuals had somehow found the church and reached a stage 3 memetic breach. (see document MB3-XXXX). These people were apprehended during daytime and were sent to site-██ to be contained.
Any personnel seen having reached stage 3 are to be immediately terminated as agreed to when assigned work on SCP-XXXX.
Note: The amount of time for SCP-XXXX's effects to start affecting the subject varies based on their own mental strength, children, for example, would only require 10-15 minutes before entering stage 1. For a mental strength check, contact one of the on-site medical personnel.
SCP-XXXX-1 through SCP-XXXX-14 are to be used as information sources, permission to ask questions is to be requested from the site administrator and to be approved by at least two (2) 05-council members. Only personnel of Security Clearance Level 3 or higher are allowed to request a question.
Though subjects affected by SCP-XXXX are unable to lie and thus always give an answer, they are more often than not vague or incomprehensible. A Q&A-test log can be found at the bottom of document MB3-XXXX.
documents MHI-XXXX-1 and MHI-XXXX-2
document MB3-XXXX
MHI-XXXX-1
These questions are to be asked every 30 minutes to prevent a stage 2 breach.
1. What did I have for breakfast this morning?
2. What is the name of my pet?
3. Who is the first person I spoke with today?
4. What is my mother's/father's middle name?
5. When did I start working for the Foundation?
6. What is my address?
7. Which was the first SCP I was assigned to? (only applicable if said SCP did not require the intake of amnestics afterwards)
8. Where did I graduate?
9. What is my favourite colour?
10. What is my favourite band?
MHI-XXXX-2
These questions are to be asked in the event of a stage-2 breach. Access to the full list is only granted to the on-site medical personnel. Simply answering "I don't know." is sufficient to be relieved of suspicion. Answers to these questions are used to aid the Foundation. When one of the questions is answered, it is replaced by a new one.
1. What is the current location of ████████?
2. What is pestilence?
3. Where is ████████████ located?
4. What dimension does ████████ originate from?
5. How does one kill SCP-682?
6. How can we best contain ████████?
7. What is the best way to apprehend Vincent Anderson?
8. How does one kill SCP-096?
9. What is the name of ███████████████████████████████?
10. Who is behind Dr Wondertainment?

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XXX is currently contained within site-19 in secure containment locker 523-B. Testing on SCP-5XXX is unrestricted giving no damage is done to the item during the test. SCP-5XXX is to be used in psychiatric evaluations in case the subject shows signs of distress, in this case, the subject is to be given SCP-5XXX and to be told to hug it.
SCP-5XXX is to be cleaned once every month or once after every interaction with D-Class personnel affected by an anomaly. Before the subject lets go of SCP-5XXX they are to be given a light dose of class C amnestics and the item is to be removed from their grasps by personnel wearing leather gloves.
Description: SCP-5XXX is a stuffed bear showing no signs of damage estimated to have been made in the early 18th century by Wondertainment-London, as shown on a label attached to the bear's left leg. There are no immediately obvious anomalous qualities when looked at. Its anomalous properties only reveal themselves when the item is hugged by any sentient being. Foundation personnel who hugged the bear have reported hearing a child-like voice with an old-British accent speaking to them while feeling a certain warmth throughout their entire body.
SCP-5442 before containment
Sentences most commonly spoken by the child include but are not limited to:
Calm down now, everything will be alright.
I am here for you, you don't have to be scared anymore.
You may feel alone, but I am here for you You are not alone.
Please don't cry, just give me a hug and forget all of your troubles.
Subjects hugging SCP-5XXX become completely calm for the entire time they hold it. Even when hugging stops, as long as they keep contact with the item its effects remain active.
When SCP-5XXX is removed from the subject's grasp, the distress they would have felt during the period the item was held hits them all at once unless they are administered the recommended dose of amnestics. Subjects who are not given these amnestics often commit suicide because of the severity of the stress. Others are often diagnosed with minor to severe depression after letting go of SCP-5XXX.

Addendum 5XXX-02: Recovery Log {22/04/2020}
SCP-5XXX was recovered from a two (2) story home in the outskirts of London, UK. The foundation was notified after authorities were asked to investigate the house and found that the owner had hanged herself in the kitchen with the bear laying on the bed in the second-story bedroom at the time.
Others who lived in the area reported that the woman had shown no intention to commit such an act. The woman had had a miscarriage approximately 10 years before that but was able to move on not too long after. The woman had no other family and the father of the child is until now unknown.
The Foundation was notified when a female agent who came to the scene later and hugged the bear, saying she recognised it to be the same make like a bear she owned when she was a child that spoke to her in her mother's voice.
In the second story bedroom, the recovery team found a receipt and an advertisement for a toy resembling SCP-5XXX titled "Spirit Bear," subtitled "forever yours, forever theirs!" The receipt showed the purchase was made ten (10) years prior to recovery.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-01 through SCP-XXXX-50 are contained in a cardboard box labelled "Super Gel" located within secure containment locker 12-A at site-24. Any medical personnel of clearance level 3 or higher are permitted to use of SCP-XXXX freely on personnel of C-class or higher.
Excessive use of SCP-XXXX is strictly forbidden, no more than 5ml per person is to be used as it is plenty to activate its effects. Excessive use may lead to but is not limited to addiction, burns, severe eczema, depression, loss of self, [DATA EXPUNGED] and [REDACTED].
Description: SCP-XXXX is a set of 50 bottles, each containing 500ml of brand ████ hand sanitizer labelled to kill 100% of all germs. As of now, 12 of the bottles have been used by the GHI; 2 of the 50 bottles have been used up during testing and 25% of another bottle has been used to prevent the containment breach that nearly occurred in early 2020.
10 instances of SCP-XXXX have been cleared for testing usage and 5 instances have been cleared for assisting in the containment of other SCPs and the prevention of possible containment breaches.
Recovery Log: SCP-XXXX was discovered after a group of medical professionals calling themselves the Global Health Initiative started rapidly curing people infected by a current ongoing global pandemic. MTF Tau-8 ('Good Doctors') infiltrated GHI ward-Omega located in Alabama, USA in the town of ██████ and were able to recover SCP-XXXX without being detected.
Document GHI-01. Global Health Initiative GOI status pending.
The group that goes by the name of the Global Health Initiative (GHI) was founded in 1940 by Luca Giovanni who worked as a medical researcher for the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche or the National Research Council of the then fascist government. The GHI had been tasked with finding new ways of medically protecting and even enhancing Italy's wounded soldiers during the second world war.
After the war had ended and the Italian government changed, the GHI splintered off from the government and became an independent organisation determined to advance the medical technologies of the world and cure anyone who needed it. The organisation is public, only keeping secret the true nature of some of their cures and seems to be funded by several governments and charities.
As of now, there isn't much knowledge about the GHI, they are presumably run by a group of 6 doctors that call themselves "the administration." The extent of their usage of anomalous objects is until now unknown but it is suspected that they have more instances of SCP-500 and maybe even another instance of SCP-427 stored away inside their facilities, though this is unconfirmed. It is also theorised that the organisation may have been the ones who created the current SCP-500 and 427, although this is based on unconfirmed intel.
The GHI is mainly based in Italy but not unlike the foundation itself, they have many sites throughout the world. These sites are named "wards" by them and each ward usually contains a research lab, a storage space, a residential wing for personnel and a public medical wing where patients are treated. The administration is located within ward-alpha in ██████, Italy and not unlike the foundation's overseer council, the entire organisation is subject to their decisions, for better or worse.
Currently, the only anomaly to have been confirmed to have been in the GHI's hands is SCP-XXXX but it is suspected they are holding several others.

Subject: Access SCP-XXXX Granted
Van Damme,
I have received your request to access SCP-XXXX's files.
If you think you can find anything more on the thing, be my guest. The full file is attached to the bottom of this mail. Honestly, I have no clue why you'd want the files on that thing. It seems like a lost cause is all I'm saying.
Regards,
Site Administrator Jack Everbright

Administrator,
Thank you! I just need the files for a personal project. I'll clue you in if it ever becomes relevant enough that it would need the foundation's attention.
Thanks again,
Maxine
Interrogation Transcript
Date: 24/12/2001
Site Responsible: Site-35
Interviewer: Eveline Carter
Interviewee: Jack Everbright, former administrator of Site-521
[BEGIN LOG]
Carter: Today is the 24th of December 2001. This is Eveline Carter conducting session five in the interrogations concerning incident XXXX-Alpha of former Temporary-Containment Site-521. Interviewing former site administrator, Dr Jack Wilkins. Good evening Jack.
Wilkins: Good evening, madam.
Carter: Now Jack, would you explain to me the events that occurred at Site-521 during November 2001?
Wilkins: I'll do my best. It all started with an E-mail. The head researcher at the time, Maxine Van Damme, had sent me a mail asking for permission to view SCP-XXXX's files.
Carter: And you approved this request?
Wilkins: Well, yes. The thing had been in Site-521's custody for so long, I was convinced there was nothing more to learn from it. I thought that maybe, giving her access to these files would lead to some major breakthrough or something. Something that would aid us in the further develo-
Carter: And you realise that as she was the head researcher, those files were restricted from her for good reason? You didn't even hold clearance to share those files.
Wilkins: SIGHS She said it was for a personal project… I didn't think much of it at the time.
CARTER MAKES A NOTE, THEN TURNS BACK TO WILKINS
Carter: So, an e-mail, approval and then what?
Wilkins: Right, nothing much happened for the first few weeks. Life in Site-521 went on as usual until it was brought to my attention that one of the anomalies that we were housing at the time, I think it was SCP-131, started acting strange. They had been temporarily transferred to our site since major construction was going on in their part of Site-19 and the researchers didn't want the things to disappear on them.
Now normally, these pods are the nicest things you could ever see, besides maybe the large slimeball, but then all of a sudden, they just started ramming into people at random. Knocking cups of coffee out of the hands of researchers on their way to their labs, one even rammed straight into one of the shins of a D-Class who was being brought in for testing.
Carter: And what kind of action did you take?
SILENCE
Carter: Doctor?
Wilkins: I made a note of it. At the time I didn't think much of it. They're called anomalies for a reason, it's not like they have to follow a certain pattern of behaviour. I just put them into an empty containment unit we had until they were to be transferred back to Site-19.
CARTER MAKES ANOTHER NOTE
Carter: So, after that?
Everbright: Right. After that, once again nothing much happened until the last week of November. When the first breach occurred.
Carter: This was the breach of SCP-5031?
Wilkins: Correct… The thing had been transferred to the site since it had recently been reclassified and its container at Bio-Site 59 was being altered. It came with a researcher and a D-Class attached, to keep it calm. All foundation research pointed to the thing being entirely non-hostile when fed well. It was even able to cook for us, imagine that.
Carter: So what would cause it to breach containment?
Wilkins: You're asking that as if you don't know.
Carter: For the record, doctor.
Wilkins: When examined after the breach, the creature's DNA showed different properties to a sample taken earlier in its containment. In hindsight, this should have been a bigger concern. Though once again I thought, "They're anomalies, they're not supposed to be normal. Maybe changing their DNA is a part of their abilities." And once again, I did nothing but take note.
Carter: And what of doctor Van Damme? How was she behaving throughout this month?
Wilkins: She was acting… Happier than before.
Carter: Happier?
Wilkins: More enthusiastic
