Special Containment Procedures

Meteorological teams stationed at Site-287 are to monitor Dillon Dam Road biannually for any drastic changes in precipitation or fog formation.

Upon detection of a Grey Sky level event, MTF Epsilon-8 ("Mist Watchers") is to be dispatched to reroute traffic away from the area under the pretense of unfinished construction work. Additional field agents will block access to the road disguised as highway patrol officers until the anomaly has fully dissipated. Any entities seen emerging from SCP-XXXX during this time are to be taken into Foundation custody.

As of 09/12/2016, all personnel are restricted from entering the anomaly unless authorized by O5 command. Trespassers will be reprimanded.

Description

SCP-XXXX is an anomalous weather phenomenon that occurs near the town of Silverthorne, Colorado in an area adjacent to Lake Dillon1 known as Dillon Dam Road. SCP-XXXX appears as dense fog or haze covering roughly 2 kilometers of the road. During the spring, the anomaly forms as frontal fog from hot air and rain. In the autumn, the anomaly manifests as steam fog over the surface of the lake. During each manifestation, the fog was observed moving from the lake to the road before settling.

SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties become apparent when traversing through the fog. Regardless of when individuals enter the anomaly, there is always an unknown source of daylight on the inside, as well as a temperate coniferous forest, and a paved road. Exploration of the inner layer has shown that the segment of the road covered by the anomaly exists in an entirely independent environment from the outside world. The biosphere within the anomaly has been dubbed "the hub" as it is presumed to exist primarily as a bridge between two different temporal coordinates.

In total, 443 residents have gone missing while driving through Dillon Dam Road in the past decade. Research has shown that all victims had been traveling when the area was experiencing heavy rainfall and the difference in air temperature and dew point2 was less than 2.5 °C. These conditions precede every manifestation recorded to date and have thus been given the designation of Grey Sky events.

It is currently believed that SCP-XXXX is able to bend spacetime on a large stretch of the road, acting as a temporal displacement field, allowing objects and people that enter it to travel to a point in time the anomaly once manifested there. Other than its temporal distortion capabilities, the fog itself does not appear to be anomalous and is composed mainly of condensed water droplets (such as any other fog). More research is required to determine whether or not its point of origin (the lake) is anomalous.

Site-287

Addendum XXXX.1: Site-287

Site-287 is located 40m away from the Dillon Dam Overlook area between I-70 and Dillon Dam Road.

Staff have been disguised as civilian weathermen stationed there by NOAA3 under the guise of assisting local news stations in researching atmospheric and weather-related phenomena.

The installation is equipped with telemetering devices for collecting all relevant levels of meteorological data such as precipitation, temperature, and wind.

MTF Epsilon-8 is currently stationed at this facility in the likelihood that a Grey Sky level event is detected.

The perimeter is enclosed by a chain-link fence and patrolled by armed guards. Entry is only allowed to Level-3 personnel or higher via access keycard. As per Veil protocols, any trespassers are apprehended and given Class-B amnestics before being released.

Addendum XXXX.3: Discovery

On April 2, 2015, several witnesses on Dillon Dam Road reported seeing a creature with features like those of a pterosaur4 soaring out of a patch of fog and gliding over the nearby highway. The road was closed off and MTF Theta-9 ("Cheap Rolexes") was mobilized to the scene.

[Containment Log]

A Foundation hazmat unit was then sent to analyze the composition of the fog. Their analysis did not find any traces of anomalous compounds or substances. The anomaly disappeared shortly after.

The lab results show SCP-XXXX is consistent with the makeup of a typical fog cloud. That is to say, it is mostly water. Any anomalous properties must emerge only after crossing the outermost layer. If we want to study this thing any further, then I suggest we do it from the inside. Further testing done out here will just be wasting our time.

Operation Tempest

On September 12, 2016, SCP-XXXX was once again detected over Dillon Dam Road and Site-287 staff began to report numerous anomalous activity in the surrounding area. Shortly after, Operation Tempest was approved by Assistant Director of Containment Dr. Benjamin Gable. At 1600 hours, MTF Theta-9 was instructed to enter the anomaly using standard-issue exploratory gear and assess the situation.

Access to these logs is restricted. Level 4 access is required.
