Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Undercover Foundation personnel are to be stationed around ██████ Park every night from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. If any civilian witnesses an instance of SCP-XXXX walking, they are to be kept away from the entity and administered Class C Amnestics.
██████ Park's gates are to be closed from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. Any civilian trying to trespass into the park during this time is to be questioned and administered Class C Amnestics.
In the event that camera surveillance or the assigned on-site personnel detect any activity from an instance of SCP-XXXX outside of the aforementioned timeframe, MTF Theta-4 ("Gardeners") is to be dispatched to the site to attempt to pacify and/or neutralize it.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a group of 8 7 Oak trees located in ██████ Park in the small town of ███████, PA. During the night (approximately 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., though it does vary), instances of SCP-XXXX start exhibiting sentience and the ability to walk around █████ Park. While this is happening, instances of SCP-XXXX become incredibly territorial and aggressive to any person in the vicinity, attacking them with their branches.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in ██/Oct/2018 after a police officer in the town of ███████, PA arrived at the local clinic with several deep cuts and broken bones, claiming that a walking oak tree had attacked him. Foundation personnel at the clinic went to investigate the claim, seeing the first known manifestation of SCP-XXXX's anomalous behavior. The exact reason why SCP-XXXX first manifested that day, without any prior signs of anomalous behavior is, as of yet, unknown.
Any attempts to remove an instance of SCP-XXXX from █████ Park are futile, since, when feeling threatened, instances of SCP-XXX will root deep into the ground, making it impossible to move.
Instances of SCP-XXXX have, in multiple occasions, been observed to "clean" the park, throwing out things like litter and animal feces over the park fence. The reason for this behavior is unknown.
Addendum XXXX-A: Incident report 15/Dec/2018
As an attempt to research and find a way to properly contain SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-8 was dug up to be transported to Site-██. However, SCP-XXXX-8 appears to have lost all anomalous properties, even when planted back in its place in ██████ Park. After that, SCP-XXXX-1 through 7 have been observed to walk around the place where SCP-XXXX-8 was planted.
Attempting to remove instances of SCP-XXXX from the park is now forbidden.
Entrance to SCP-XXXX. Taken upon discovery by Agent █████.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is to work together with major satellite map operators to censor the location of SCP-XXXX on any public maps. Foundation web crawlers are to monitor major social media platforms and forums to find and suppress any information about the existence of SCP-XXXX. I-██ highway exit ████ is to be closed off and a 500m perimeter is to be established around the entrance to SCP-XXXX, and any person or vehicle attempting to enter the containment area is to be detained, questioned, and let go after being administered Class-A amnestics. Any expeditions inside SCP-XXXX require approval from at least 2 Level 4 personnel. After Incident XXXX-D-3, all testing on SCP-XXXX has been suspended until further notice.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a possibly extradimensional tunnel located on exit ████ on highway I-██ in the USA which appears to not possess any kind of exit. As of the latest expedition, approximately 600 km have been explored. While SCP-XXXX does not appear to ever go upwards, with a constant downward inclination of about 5° on average, it does have very frequent turns, with the longest straight section discovered to date being approximately 10 km long.
SCP-XXXX is divided into 4 known sections;
- SCP-XXXX-A consists of the first ~300 km of SCP-XXXX and doesn't appear to possess any kind of anomalous property beyond its length, which in itself is over twice as long as the longest known non-anomalous tunnel. It has the same physical appearance as the entrance. When a person is driving near exit ████, SCP-XXXX will, in a seemingly random fashion, sometimes alter GPS navigation to guide the driver into its entrance.
SCP-XXXX-B, taken during exploration on 21/10/2018
- SCP-XXXX-B starts at the end of SCP-XXXX-A and extends for ~200 km. Between the end of SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B, there is an apparently normal self-serve gas station including a convenience store containing edible food products. SCP-XXXX-B looks different than the prior section, with a rectangular cross-section and painted walls. Upon entering SCP-XXXX-B, subjects seem to feel compelled to enter deeper into SCP-XXXX, however, this behavior appears to be unconscious, with every subject denying it.
SCP-XXXX-C, taken during exploration on 5/11/2018
- SCP-XXXX-C starts at the end of SCP-XXXX-B and extends for ~75 km. SCP-XXXX-C is radically different in appearance, with round steel walls and only one lane made of concrete as opposed to pavement. The aforementioned memetic effects appear to amplify, with subjects consciously stating their want to go further. Personnel have also reported slight steam noises coming from the walls after spending prolonged periods inside SCP-XXXX-C. This is believed to be memetic, as these sounds cannot be confirmed using any kind of recording tools.
Entrance to SCP-XXXX-D, taken from outside the section.
- SCP-XXXX-D starts after another gas station at the end of SCP-XXXX-C. It has not been fully explored, so its length is unknown. Its walls and floor are made of concrete. SCP-XXXX's memetic properties appear to manifest much more strongly inside SCP-XXXX-D, with effects like strong auditory and visual hallucinations, presenting even to personnel controlling drones while outside SCP-XXXX-D's boundary, as well as a strong and explicit urge to run deeper down the tunnel, seeming to even overpower conscious thought.
Addendum XXXX-1: Discovery
After many missing person reports began appearing around the area, Foundation staff were dispatched to investigate. After several days sweeping the area, Agent █████ realized that exit ████, which they had passed several times, did not appear on any maps. After taking the exit and traveling for approximately 1 km, Agent █████ came across the entrance to SCP-XXXX, drove into it, and after going through a series of turns that would've added up to about 360°, turned back to call for reinforcements.

Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats")
Team Leader: Z9-1
Team Members: Z9-2, Z9-3
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Notes: This expedition began after Foundation personnel established a temporary camp next to SCP-XXXX before Special Containment Procedures could be established.
[BEGIN LOG]
Base: Alright, we should be recording now. Check your microphones.
Z9-1: Check.
Z9-3: Check.
Z9-2: Aaaand check.
Z9-1: Alright, Base, I think we're ready to go in.
Base: Copy that. Proceed. Be careful, we don't know what could be in there.
[MTF Zeta-9 drive into the tunnel for approximately 2 hours in relative silence and writing down every turn. Nothing of note happens]
Z9-1: Hey Base, we've been going down this tunnel for about 250 km, nothing weird has really happened. Are you guys sure this isn't some billionaire's art project or something?
Base: 250? That's a lot longer than the longest tunnel in the world. Have you measured the inclination throughout the way?
Z9-3: Yeah, about 5 degrees downwards on average I'd say. It doesn't really look like it ever goes upwards.
Z9-2: Hold up. [Z9-2 pauses and writes something down on paper] That means we're like 20 km underground. Base, how deep is the deepest non-anomalous hole?
Base: Bit over 12 km.
Z9-2: Wow. Yeah, this is definitely not just some art project.
Z9-3: Have Y'all found anything on this place?
Base: We can't find any kind of tunnel exit anywhere around that isn't accounted for, or any kind of records of the tunnel being built.
Z9-1: Hey, we've spent about 40% of our gas already. Requesting permission to go back to base to resupply.
Base: Granted.
[END LOG]
Notes: After returning to base, all 3 members of MTF Zeta-9 claim to not have sensed any change in air pressure, quality, or temperature despite the difference in depth. They also reported seeing no cars throughout the entirety of the explored length.

Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats")
Team Leader: Z9-1
Team Members: Z9-2, Z9-3
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Notes: By the time of this expedition, a 500 m perimeter and a semi-permanent base had been set up around SCP-XXXX. Members of the expedition were provided with extra fuel and other essential resources to allow for a longer expedition.
[BEGIN LOG, EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]
[MTF Zeta-9 reaches the place they had reached during the first expedition, and drive another ~50 km.]
Z9-2: Base, are we sure there's even anything too serious about this place? We've been going for like 300 km and still haven't found anything too strange.
Base: Sorry, but we need to make completely sure what we're dealing with before starting to contain this thing.
Z9-3: Hey guys can I get a confirmation on what appears to be a [EXPLETEVE]ing gas station in here?
Z9-2: Oh my god.
Z9-1: Base, are you seeing this?
Base: Well, if you're talking about a gas station in the middle of some endless tunnel, then yes. We are seeing it.
[MTF Zeta-9 stops at the gas station]
Z9-2: Looks like there's also a convenience store in here, I'll go check that out.
Z9-1: Seems to me these gas pumps work. Should we try out the gasoline?
Base: Heavens, no. Bring some samples of it so our lab guys can check it first.
Z9-1: Roger.
Z9-2: There's no one at the convenience store.
Z9-3: Yeah, no surprise there. I wasn't expecting to see some broke college kid that commutes 300 km to work every day.
Z9-2: The place is fully stocked with food though, it all seems fresh.
Z9-1: Alright, bring some of it to base too.
Z9-3: Guys, it looks like the tunnel is different after the gas station. It looks kinda… older?
Z9-1: Base, should we go into that part?
Base: Ok, be careful.
[MTF Zeta-9 continue for about 50 km into the next section of SCP-XXXX.]
Base: Anything new so far?
Z9-1: Not really, just looks different.
Base: Alright, we'll pack it up for today. Go back to the gas station and set up camp there for the night, then come back to base tomorrow. We don't want you all to spend too much time in there, that's what the D-Class are for.
Z9-1: You sure? I think we could go a little bit deeper to make the most out of the expedition.
Base: That's an order, Agent.
[END LOG]
Notes: The two sections of SCP-XXXX have been designated as SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B. Laboratory testing reveals that the gasoline is safe to use and the food is edible.
Addendum XXXX-4: Exploration Log 3
Date: 5/11/2018
Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats")
Team Leader: Z9-1
Team Members: Z9-2, Z9-3, Researcher Morales
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Notes: The members of MTF Zeta-9 were indicated to make use of the seemingly non-anomalous gas station located at 300km in order to extend the expedition into SCP-XXXX-B. The vehicles used were also fitted with instruments to test inclination, depth, air properties, and the materials from which the different sections of SCP-XXXX are built.
[BEGIN LOG, EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]
[The expedition team arrive at the 300km gas station and proceed to refill their gas tanks. They continue driving through SCP-XXXX-B for about 200km]
Z9-1: Base, are you reading?
Base: Yeah, anything new?
Z9-3: I think we might've just run into a new section, it's a lot smaller.
Base: No gas station?
Z9-2: No, the tunnel just kinda runs into a stone wall all of a sudden after a blind turn, we almost crashed. The next section is just like dug into that wall, looks super strange.
Researcher Morales: Scared the hell outta me.
Z9-1: It's only 1 lane, should we proceed, Base?
Base: No, we don't want you guys to get stuck in there and have to pull a several kilometer reverse. Come back up here, we'll need some special cars for you guys. Set up camp at the gas station and you should be back at noon tomorrow.
Researcher Morales: Alright, just lemme take a few samples of this. hope we can go a lot deeper next time.
[END LOG]
Notes: According to the instruments aboard the expedition, the average inclination of SCP-XXXX is approximately 6.5° downward. The walls of both SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B are made of seemingly non-anomalous concrete, while the walls of SCP-XXXX-C are composed of steel. Researcher Morales says to have heard steam noises coming from the walls of SCP-XXXX-C while collecting the sample. Despite the start of SCP-XXXX-C being about 56km under the surface, air quality, pressure, and temperature remain identical to the surface throughout all of SCP-XXXX.

Team Leader: Z9-1
Team Members: Z9-2, Z9-3, Researcher Morales
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Notes: The exploration team was provided with vehicles modified to make it easier to reverse if needed, and were indicated to go as far into SCP-XXXX-C as possible.
[BEGIN LOG, EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]
[The exploration team stock up on gasoline and supplies at the 300km gas station and continue through SCP-XXXX-B and SCP-XXXX-C]
Z9-1: Base, do you copy?
Base: Yeah, what's up?
Z9-1: This steel section we discovered the other day ends after some 75km according to the car. there's another gas station here, looks a lot bigger and there's a… parking lot?
Base: That's strange. Are there actually any cars there?
Z9-2: Yup, a lot of them. I'll go write down their license plates and stuff, see if you guys up there can make anything of this.
Z9-3: Hey look, there's another little stone tunnel over there. Doesn't look like our cars could fit in there. What do we do, base?
Base: Nothing right now. We'll see what we can do for the next expedition. Y'all should head back for now.
Researcher Morales: Right. I'll just go take a quick sample of that tunnel before we leave.
[As Researcher Morales steps into SCP-XXXX-D, she immediately appears distressed and starts frantically running deeper into the tunnel. Z9-3 attempts to run after her, but gets promptly stopped by Z9-1.]
Z9-1: Base, we've lost Morales.
Base: What?
Z9-1: She just ran into the stone tunnel like she lost her damn mind.
Base: Damn. Alright everyone, return to base. We need to plan out what we'll do next very carefully.
Z9-1: Aye aye.
[END LOG]
Notes: Every car in the gas station's parking lot was linked to the reports of missing people in the area. The newest section made out of stone has been designated SCP-XXXX-D, and the disappearance of Researcher Morales has been designated Incident XXXX-D-1. Permission for testing with D-Class personnel has been requested.
Addendum XXXX-6: Exploration Log 5
Date: 12/11/2018
Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats")
Team Leader: Z9-1
Team Members: Z9-2, Z9-3, D-9635
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Notes: The exploration team was provided with D-9635, as well as a harness and rope mechanism to attempt to explore up to 10km deeper into SCP-XXXX-D and to be able to recover D-9635 afterwards.
[BEGIN LOG, EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]
[The exploration team arrive at the second gas station and set up the rope mechanism in front of the entrance to SCP-XXXX-D. The harness is secured around D-9635.]
Z9-1: Alright, you're tied down. We want you to go in there and walk as far as you can, then you'll tell us what you see. We got 10km of rope.
Base: D-9635, please start walking into the tunnel.
[D-9635 steps through the entrance to SCP-XXXX-D, and promptly appears alarmed and starts running down the tunnel, pulling the rope along with them. The rope continues to get pulled for about 3 hours until it tugs and stops. The rope starts pulling D-9635 back to the gas station. After approximately 2 hours, D-9635 appears around the first corner of SCP-XXXX-D, screaming unintelligibly.]
Z9-3: OH MY GOD!
Z9-1: Holy [EXPLETIVE]. Looks like the madman's been trying to resist the rope and crawl back in the whole way, he's been dragged the whole 10km of stone tunnel. He's bleeding all over the place. Base, what do we do?
Base: We're gonna have to question him up here. Restrain him, stop the bleeding and come back to the surface.
Z9-1: Roger that. [Z9-2], patch him up.
[END LOG]
Notes: D-9635 was brought back to the surface for questioning to attempt to find out more about SCP-XXXX-D and its effects, but the subject continued to scream unintelligibly and asking to be let back into SCP-XXXX until Class B amnestics were administered. This event has been designated Incident XXXX-D-2. It is now strictly prohibited for humans to enter SCP-XXXX-D.

Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Zeta-9 ("Mole Rats")
Team Leader: Z9-1
Team Members: Z9-2, Z9-3
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Notes: The exploration team was provided with a remote control drone and a gasoline-powered generator to provide power to it in order to explore SCP-XXXX-D without the use of a human.
[BEGIN LOG, EXTRANEOUS DATA REMOVED]
[The exploration team drive to the entrance to SCP-XXXX-D and set up the generator and drone. Z9-3 controls the drone for a few minutes until suddenly screaming, dropping the controller and pointing toward the parking lot.]
Z9-3: DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT?!
[The rest of the team turns around to look at what Z9-3 was pointing at, but see nothing.]
Z9-1: Calm down, there's nothing there.
Z9-3: What do you mean, don't you see that guy in the car?!
Z9-1: Uhhhh Base, did that D-Class guy mention anything about hallucinations?
Base: No clue. The guy was just screaming jibberish, all we could understand was "let me back in". If he had said anything about hallucinations or anything at all for that matter we would've told you. Why?
Z9-1: [Z9-3] is only holding the controller to the drone but he's saying there's a guy in an empty car all of a sudden.
Z9-2: Crap, the controller broke.
Base: Well, that's a bummer. Guess we'll need to call this expedition short. Come back up here.
Z9-1: Roger. [Z9-3], c'mere, let's go.
Z9-2: [Z9-3]?
Z9-1: [EXPLETIVE]! Base, [Z9-3] went into the tunnel, we've lost him.
Base: Come back up here. NOW.
[END LOG]
Notes: Both the exploration drone and Z9-3 were not able to be recovered. This event has been designated as Incident XXXX-D-3. All testing on SCP-XXXX has been suspended until further notice.
January 12th, 2019 was an almost perfectly normal day, even though the day before was both just as normal, and the farthest from normal a day could possibly be.
On January 11th, 2019, a very curious (and perhaps suicidally depressed) reality bender was looking down on the SCP Foundation and its contemporaries, wondering what would happen if the anomalous never existed, and as such, accidentally removed itself, anything that could be considered anomalous, and any evidence of such things ever existing at all, off of reality.
At the same time, January 11th, 2019 and all days before and after it were also just as normal as the next day because, as far as reality was concerned, this reality bender never existed.
January 12th did have one oddity in it; a weird little Caucasian male with blond hair and green eyes, sporting no other outstanding characteristics besides being somewhat overweight and speaking with a vague accent of disputable origin had jumped into this dimension with a slight "pop" in the middle of an empty field in rural Kansas.
Annoyed at this (to him) common occurrence, he started walking until he wandered into Great Bend, a small city near where he went "pop". He waited there for a few hours, and when he noticed no men in black coming to take him back to the facility where he lived that never existed, he started looking around at this world he hopped into.
He couldn't find anything that even hinted towards the SCP Foundation or anything anomalous existing at all. After a few days waiting in the city to get picked up by people who don't exist, he came to the conclusion that he must've visited two different universes in one jump, and he decided to just wait until he jumped back to his home, and started telling a few people in town about his universe, to great interest.
Unfortunately, when he jumped into this perfectly normal reality, he became just as perfectly normal as everyone else, and this average-looking fat little man never went "pop" again. As far as everyone else in town (and indeed, reality itself) was concerned, he was just a man with a very interesting imagination.
