Special Containment Procedures:

Displaced or newly discovered instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be sought out and contained, via monitoring of electromagnetic pulses and other means. Every uncontained instance of SCP-XXXX-A is to be evaluated by a containment engineer and either be moved to an individual secure locker at Site-45, or have a perimeter established around the instance, with an exclusion zone of a size deemed acceptable by a containment engineer. Every perimeter and locker are to include motion-activated alarms within their construction. An armed response teams should be made available to respond to triggerings of the alarms. Armed response teams are to prevent unauthorized access to any instance of SCP-XXXX-A with lethal force, if necessary. Under no circumstances should any unauthorized personnel be allowed to enter SCP-XXXX-B. Every SCP-XXXX-A instance should be checked weekly to ensure the integrity of their perimeter or locker, with maintenance carried out when needed.

MTF-Unit Theta 40 designated "Record-Sweepers" is to respond to any major breaches of security relating to SCP-XXXX. If no MTF-Unit with that designation is recorded within the Foundation Database, it is to be assumed that a breach is currently occurring and that MTF-Unit Theta 4 is already operational. Members of MTF-Theta-40 are exempt from the 1 trip rule into SCP-XXXX-B.

All knowledge of SCP-XXXX-B is held within Area-16. Any records about the inside of SCP-XXXX are to be considered fraudulent, unless the author of the record's location can be determined. Supplying and maintaining Area-16 is considered a Beta priority at all times. The records for memetically hazardous SCPs contained with Area-16 are never to be decommissioned.

Personnel are limited to one expedition into SCP-XXXX-B ever, to prevent further obfuscation of documentation on SCP-XXXX-B. Any personnel assigned to Area-16 within SCP-XXXX-B should have their bodies and copies of their documentation transported back to Earth when they die. Any names of Class A, B or C personnel who will be exposed to SCP-XXXX-B should be blackboxed to prevent the inhibition of documents containing them when the persons in question are within SCP-XXXX-B.

Any mention of The Forgotten Digit should be investigated. All members of The Forgotten Digit should be brought into Foundation custody outside of SCP-XXXX-B, and all materials relating to the Forgotten Digit should have a copy in the databases of both Area-16 and the main Foundation database.

At no point should any instance of SCP-XXXX-A ever be brought into SCP-XXXX-B.

Description:

SCP-XXXX is a number of dimensional rifts localised within archwaysand other similar structures, such as rings or doorways, with each instance being classified as an instance of SCP-XXXX-A. There is no visible disturbance caused the rift, unless an object is passing through it or a significant temperature difference exists between each side of the rift. Upon entering any instance of SCP-XXXX-A subjects are instantanously relocated to a dimension henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-B. Any living thing within SCP-XXXX-B cannot be remembered outside of SCP-XXXX-B. This memory-suppressing effect also applies to any materials relating to people within SCP-XXXX-B, with primary examples of affected materials being writings, photographs, or other depictions of the subject. Upon exiting SCP-XXXX-B, these memory-suppressing effects cease, and records of, and by the affected individual as well as the individual themselves can be remembered.

There are believed to be 4000 instances of SCP-XXXX, with 3452 currently in containment, and 548 undiscovered. Upon the destruction of an instance, either by introduction into another instance or degradation of the frame, a new instance opens up instantaneously somewhere around the world, with both the destroyed instance and the new instance releasing powerful electromagnetic pulses in this "displacement" event. Due to this, known instances should have caution taken to aid their preservation, in addition to regular containment.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-A have ranged from 1.23cm x 1.23cm¹ to roughly 50m x 20m.²

Notable forms taken by instances of SCP-XXXX-A have included:

• SCP-XXXX-A-1 : A brick arch from a derelict building in Arrowtown, New Zealand. (Note: This was the first instance discovered by the Foundation in 1987.)
• SCP-XXXX-A-2 : Back door of a liquor store in Slough, UK. (Note: This was the second instance of SCP-XXXX-A discovered.)
• SCP-XXXX-A-13 : Between the roots of a mangrove tree in Darwin, Australia.
• SCP-XXXX-A-121 : Within a doorway for a set of miniature model scenery.
• SCP-XXXX-A-142: Underwater, localized within a rock formation within the tonga trench. (Note: This was the first instance of 2679 currently known underwater in some capacity.)
• SCP-XXXX-A-154 : Within a natural arch at Port Campbell National Park, Australia. (Note: This instance was naturally neutralised due to lack of maintenance.)
• SCP-XXXX-A-1142 : The wedding ring of Doug Danely in Nova Scotia, Canada. (Note: Doug was amnesticised and his ring was replaced; this was the smallest instance ever located.)³
• SCP-XXXX-A-2233 : Within an arch in the Colosseum, Rome. (Note: This instance was intentionally displaced via deliberate destruction of 40% of the structure. This was done to make containment of the instance significantly more feasible.)
• SCP-XXXX-A-2562 : A small link of mesh fencing intended for the containment of small rodents.
• SCP-XXXX-A-3001: Localized with a doorway, held within a removed wall segment in the basement of an abandoned toy store in Ushuaia, Argentina. (Note: This instance was located in a raid of a Forgotten Digit headquarters.)

SCP-XXXX-B is a small planet, measured to be approximately 40% the size of the earth.⁴ It is believed that exactly 4000 SCP-XXXX-A have been present on earth for the last 40,000 years. Due to this SCP-XXXX-B is thought to contain an active ecology comprised of species from Earth, although our only knowledge of flora and fauna from SCP-XXXX-B come from extracted specimens, including some animals and plants extinct outside of SCP-XXXX-B, including the Tasmanian Thylacine and The Red Gazelle. From the cartographical efforts of the late Dr Stronkins, it is understood that several rivers, of both salt and fresh water, flow through SCP-XXXX-B, with water being fed via both SCP-XXXX-B's natural water cycle and SCP-XXXX-A instances that have occurred underwater. It is unknown if water is endemic to SCP-XXXX-B, or introduced by the SCP-XXXX-A instances. In addition to plants, animals, bacteria and fungi, SCP-XXXX-B is also home to several people, many of whom are either part of, or involved with the group known as The Forgotten Digit.

The Forgotten Digit are a group of individuals who previously were the main governmental power in SCP-XXXX-B, which they refer to as "The Memory." Since the establishment of Area-16, 245 members of The Forgotten Digit have been apprehended. The Forgotten Digit considers the number 4 sacred, and recovered Forgotten Digit Doctrine states that there are always 400 members, and otherwise would cause disaster. Due to this, since the apprehension of a majority of the Forgotten Digit in 2003, it is believed that the remainder are attempting to regain their numbers. Foundation efforts within SCP-XXXX-B have raided and dismantled 3 Forgotten Digit camps, and retrieved 83 infant children, who, once taken out of SCP-XXXX-B were reported missing, and were subsequently amnesticised and returned to their families. All children were the 4th child to be born in their family.

In addition to the living inhabitants of SCP-XXXX-B, a duplicate of all instances of SCP-XXXX-A are present within SCP-XXXX-B. Each duplicate is connected with the corresponding identical instance on earth, and entering one from Earth will lead to the duplicate in SCP-XXXX-B, and vice versa. The geographic location of SCP-XXXX-A instances on Earth do not appear to coincide with their duplicates location upon SCP-XXXX-B. Due to this, educated navigation through SCP-XXXX-B could theoretically be used by the Foundation to dramatically decrease travel times around the Earth.

Discovery:

SCP-XXXX was first brought to foundation attention after Richard Ghurt, the mayor of the small English town of Tottenham, was reported to be missing for 3 weeks, right before he reappeared. However, he had been replaced without ever being taken out of office. Townspeople interviewed by the foundation reported that they had been without a Mayor for 6 months and so elected a new Mayor. Simultaneously they also reported that their mayor for the last 6 months, Richard Ghurt, went missing and claimed to be relieved to have their mayor recovered after 3 weeks. Richard Ghurt was interviewed after his 3 week stint within SCP-XXXX-B, where he claimed to have survived off of "the kindness of the people there." Both Richard Ghurt and the newly elected Mayor's were given class-B amnestics, and Richard Ghurt was reinstated. The entire town was issued Class-A amnestics.

Addendum

+ Addendum: XXXX-A : Interview from Test-001

Interviewed: D-0873

Interviewer: Dr G█████

Description: Test-001 comprised of sending D-0873 through SCP-XXXX-A-1. D-0873 was not informed of the anomalous effects of SCP-XXXX-B prior to the test. After D-0873 had entered SCP-XXXX-A-1, Dr A██████, who was conducting the test, forgot D-0873 and abandoned the test. Roughly a minute after the test was abandoned, all testing personnel rushed back into the abandoned chamber after D-0873 returned.

<Begin Log, [16/1/1987, 10:01 AM]>

Researcher G█████: Hello, D-0873. Do you feel any ill effects from having been inside SCP-XXXX-B?Can you tell me what you experienced inside SCP-XXXX-B?

D-0873: Is that what you call that place?

Researcher G█████: Yes, now can you answer the question?

D-0873: No.

Researcher G█████: Excuse me?

D-0873: I mean yes, I can answer the question, but no, I feel fine.

Researcher G█████: Can you tell me about what you experienced?

D-0873: I walked through the arch in the room and I ended up in this… place.

Researcher G█████: I see. Can you tell me more about this "place"?

D-0873: It was fucking weird. I can’t remember there being any plants or animals, and I wandered a little ways away from me arch, but not too far and I came across these other two arches with something growing around them.

Researcher G█████: Why do mention not remembering them specifically?

D-0873: Because I… can’t remember them?

Researcher G█████: What did you say you saw growing around them?

D-0873: I didn’t say. I can’t… remember what was growing around them.

Researcher G█████: Was it a plant? A fungus? Another bloody pulsating mass of flesh?

D-0873: I can’t remember, ok?

Researcher G█████: Can you tell me about these other archways?

D-0873: They weren’t uh… very interesting. One was this huge stone arch and the other was this rotting wooden thing.

Researcher G█████: Ok. Very well. Anything else?

D-0873: Not really. It felt like about 60 seconds had passed, but to be honest I wasn't counting, being transported to another place thing threw off my mississippis.

Researcher G█████: Thank you. That will be all. Interview concluded.

<End Log, [16/1/2987, 10:05 AM]>

Closing Statement: After interviewing D-0873, I would like to request experimentation permissions to mount an expedition to record the interior of SCP-XXXX-B.

Note from Dr A██████ : After reviewing the interview with D-0873 and after the suggestion from Researcher G█████, I have approved Researcher D████ G█████’s permissions request

+ Addendum: XXXX-B : Expedition-001

Recovered Video Transcript XXXX-B

Date: 21/1/1987

Details: Transcript of footage from expedition into SCP-XXXX-B. The transcript is compiled from footage from both video cameras brought into SCP-XXXX-B. The aim of the expedition, as approved by Site Director Jowan, was to collect any samples and record the interior of SCP-XXXX-B. Both Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████

[BEGIN LOG 1:00 PM]

[Dr A██████ turns on their video camera, and shows a large brick arch in the centre of a containment chamber.]

Dr A██████: Camera live.

Researcher G█████: Ok ok, let me get this thing turned on.

Dr A██████: G█████, are you ready?

Researcher G█████: Just call me D████, please.

Dr A██████: Ok, D████, are you ready?

Researcher G█████: Yes.

Dr A██████: Ok, now due to the memory-affecting nature we should both walk in at the same time… I think.

Researcher G█████: Why?

Dr A██████: To prevent a situation in which one of us walks through first, gets forgotten by the other and the one left outside the arch abandons the test due to a mismatch of memory.

Researcher G█████: Makes sense.

Dr A██████: That's why I said it.

Researcher G█████ steps through the archway. He disappears from the view of Dr A██████'s camera. Researcher G█████'s camera shows static for 0.4 of a second, and then a lush jungle. Dr A██████'s camera shows him looking around, apparently confused. 5 seconds pass as Dr A██████ checks his timetable. Researcher G█████ steps out of the archway.

Dr A██████: Ah right. I had forgotten.

Researcher D████ G█████: Of course.

Dr A██████ and Researcher D████ G█████ Step through the archway in sync. Both cameras show static for 0.4 seconds, before the jungle comes into view.

Dr A██████: We… didn’t know this was a rainforest did we?

Researcher G█████: No… we didn’t.

Dr A██████: Did the D-class lie?

Researcher G█████: No I don’t think so, she didn’t seem like he was lying and I don’t know why she would.

Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████ stand in silence for approximately 1 minute and 32 seconds before Dr A██████ breaks the silence.

Dr A██████:

Dr A██████: Ok, G█████, change of plan, do you have the sampling kits?

Researcher G█████: Yes, right here, why?

Dr A██████: Let’s take samples of these plants, instead. I want to find out if we take these organisms out of SCP-XXXX-B.

Researcher G█████: Very well, I’ll begin taking samples. Leaves, pods, flowers fruit?

Dr A██████: It’s good to see your botany training wasn’t wasted.

Researcher G█████: Yeah.

Researcher G█████'s camera shows him collecting samples of 4 different plants. Dr A██████ inspects the arch.

Dr A██████: Hmm.

Researcher G█████: Yes?

Dr A██████: Interesting…

Researcher G█████: What?

Dr A██████: One of these arches matches one of ours in containment. Instance 34 or 35, I think.

Researcher G█████: What is the significance of that?

Dr A██████: I think they all connect to one place. Look at this one. I think this is instance 34, perhaps, and if it is then it's thousands of kilometres away on Earth.

Researcher G█████: Yet its just tens of metres away here.

Dr A██████: Indeed.

Researcher G█████: Am I permitted to go through it to confirm the connection? I'll just duck in and out real quick.

Dr A██████: No. You’ll trip the alarm the other side the instant you leave.

Researcher G█████: I understand that, but…

Dr A██████: No.

Researcher G█████: Fine…

Researcher G█████'s finishes collecting the samples, and seals the containers, putting them in his backpack.
Researcher G█████: Done.

Dr A██████: Good. Let's leave here and conclude this expedition. So far we have pushed our luck enough.

Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████ make their way towards the arch they came through. Suddenly, Researcher D████ G█████ stops, and looks around wildly.

Researcher G█████: Did you hear that?

Dr A██████ stops too.

Dr A██████: Hear what?

Researcher G█████: That sound.

Dr A██████: What sound?

Researcher G█████: Shh… there it is again.

Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████ freeze, and carefully look around. Their cameras both face into the dense foliage.

Researcher G█████: Ok, lets get out of here and hope it was nothing.

Dr A██████: No, I think I saw someone in the undergrowth… A man, I think. They were wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Researcher G█████: Uh…huh. Lets just get out of here…

Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████ back into the arch. Just before the camera cuts out, a man with long, messy hair in a dirty orange jumpsuit lunges out of the undergrowth.

Dr A██████: Ah!

Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████ stumble backwards into the containment chamber. The man appears from the archway and jumps on Researcher G█████. Researcher G█████'s camera is hit and it's recording stops. From Dr A██████ gets to his feet and struggles with the man, pulling him off of Researcher G█████. Two security personnel rush in and attempt to apprehend the man, who resists and dives into the archway. A flint knife and a pool of blood surround Researcher G█████. Both Dr A██████ and Researcher G█████ appear confused by the injuries sustained by Researcher G█████. Medics are called to the scene and Researcher G█████ is taken into intensive care for multiple lacerations on his head and torso.

[END LOG 3:23 PM]

Note from Dr A██████: On rewatching our recordings, including those from the security in the testing chamber and what was salvageable from G█████'s camera shows several things that both I and G█████ had forgotten witnessing. Neither of us remember the forest or the man who stabbed G█████, but we both remember G█████ being stabbed, G█████ especially does. He also confirmed with me that he, too remembers the plant samples we managed to collect. After reviewing the recordings, we can remember the recordings, if that makes sense. So neither of us remember experiencing the forest, but both of us can see us experiencing the forest in the recordings. If I am going to be wholly honest the memetic effects and the implications of them are begging to become difficult to wrap around my head.

Note from Dr A██████ (23/1/1987): Researcher G█████ is still in intensive care. Upon reviewing the video I am certain that that man was a D-Class, but I have no idea who or how he got there. As for the memetic effects, my current working theory is that if something is abiotic, such as the knife or the terrain of SCP-XXXX-B, or even the arches in SCP-XXXX-B then it is immune to the memory suppressing effect. This means that biotic features, such as the forest are impossible to remember outside of the SCP, at least from firsthand experience. Recordings from inside seem to work fine, presumably as video cameras are abiotic.

Note from Researcher G█████ (3/2/1987): After I was cleared from the infirmary Researcher Adams confronted me in the cafeteria and told me that on the day of the test, while I was within SCP-XXXX-B that he was viewing some of my old files, but for the few minutes I was in there they disappear completely and that he didn't remember ever reading them or even me existing. It is good to have confirmation of the effects of SCP-XXXX-B on materials produced by those within it.

Note on samples: Examination of the three plants samples revealed them to be leaves of the garden strawberry, leaves and leaf buds of Betula papyrifera, also known as paper birch, and eighteens small, heart-shaped leaves that have been identified as Silphium, a plant that is supposed to have gone extinct in the 3rd century BCE. The Silphium sample has demonstrated no anomalous properties, other than it's existence.

+ Addendum: XXXX-D : Experiment SCP-XXXX-1

Test 1 - 30/4/1996

Subject: SCP-XXXX-A-34 and SCP-XXXX-A-96

Procedure: SCP-XXXX-A-34 wheeled into the test chamber, secured by steel wire to the trolley. The ring-sizer SCP-XXXX-A-96 was placed within the claw of a state of the art bomb disposal robot. SCP-XXXX-A-96 was then remotely placed within SCP-XXXX-34.

Results: A powerful electromagnetic pulse was released, disrupting and damaging electrical equiptment for an area 40 metres in diameter. The anaomalous properties of both SCP-XXXX-34 and SCP-XXXX-96 were rendered inert. Their designations have been suspended until their displaced locations can be determined.

Analysis: It would be wise to not place an instance of SCP-XXXX-A within another instance. However, monitoring of electromagnetic pulses can inform us as to where collisions may occur due to groups involved with SCP-XXXX-B.

---

+ Addendum: XXXX-E : Incident SCP-XXXX-1

Incident 1 - 15/1/2001

12:51: Dr Ainsley was inspecting the structure of the recently recovered SCP-XXXX-A-1042. SCP-XXXX-A-1042 had been displaced intentionally due to it's formation in a highly trafficked area. Dr H█████ was assisting.
12:56: Dr Ainsley finished poking the exterior of the structure, remarking that it was "made of dirt, mud and roots." In response, Dr H█████ replied that "we [The Foundation] should just displace it and listen for another EMP" as it was "already halfway collapsed." Dr Ainsley had been standing halfway within SCP-XXXX-A-1042, in order record it's position within SCP-XXXX-B to report to Site-16, when SCP-XXXX-A-1042's structure shifted suddenly and collapsed, displacing both SCP-XXXX-A-1042 and the entirety of Dr Ainsley's body instantly. The other half of Dr Ainsely's body fell to the ground, Dr H█████ screamed.
12:57: Dr H█████ rushed to retrieve on-site medics.
12:59: Dr Ainsley is pronounced dead by Dr Pleso, the medical personnel retrieved by Dr H█████.

In the light of today's incident, all instances of SCP-XXXX-A should be subjected to an "Ainsley Test", wherein the structure of the instance should be firmly prodded from a reasonable distance to ensure that it's inherent structure is robust enough to survive being transported and reinforced. Dr H█████'s request to be permanently transferred to Site-16 was accepted, after he passed psychiatric evaluation.

Footnotes

1. The smallest instance ever recorded, it manifested within the wedding ring of Doug Danely, and is now held within a secure locker at Site-45. It is notable that Doug, when questioned, believed that the tip of his finger had never existed.

2. This instance of SCP-XXXX-1 collapsed due to its exposure to erosion at its location at Port Campbell National Park, Australia. It collapsed on the 15/1/1990, and is now considered neutralised.

3. This ring was in the possession of the late Dr Ainsley (See incident SCP-XXXX-2), and has since been secured in a storage locker.

4. Despite this size difference, the gravity on SCP-XXXX-B is only 0.04% less than on earth.
