Item #: SCP-4825

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: In a cooperative effort with Canadian Federal Government, the 65 km stretch of ████████ Highway currently affected by SCP-4825 has been closed down and barred against public access as of ██/██/2018, and is entrusted to the Foundation for containment (designated Provisional Site-██). All entrance points accessible by motor vehicles along the length affected by SCP-4825 are to be barricaded with equipment and concrete blockades indicative of extensive repair work, and Foundation personnel under the guise of workers and technicians are to guard the area. All witness claiming to witness the effects of SCP-4825 are to be amnesticized suggested that no such phenomenon occurred.

It should be emphasized that no persons under the age of 9 are permitted into the anomalously affected stretch of ████████ Highway. Accordingly, pregnant personnel are not to be assigned to SCP-4825 under any circumstance. Furthermore, Standard Cover Story D8 (Extensive Pipeline Damage) is to be disseminated should inquiry towards the nature of SCP-4825's containment arise.

SCP-4825 relocations are to be documented, but no manned exploration or testing is to be conducted with the anomaly until further notice. (See Addendum 4825-B Exploration Log 4825-2.)

Description: SCP-4825 is the anomalous manifestation of the structural interior of a bus within subterranean spaces under and throughout a 65 km length of ████████ Highway in Alberta, Canada. As well, apertures (such as potholes, manholes, maintenance shafts, and drains) connecting with SCP-4825 will spontaneously manifest where previously absent.

SCP-4825, along with all SCP-4825-A instances, will periodically relocate along the affected length of the highway at seemingly random intervals, leaving empty previously manifested apertures. Due to this - although limited only to its affected area - indefinite containment of SCP-4825 is not possible.

The interior1 of SCP-4825 vary between appearances, but is consistently observed to be mainly constructed of rusting metal, lined with seats composed of elephant leather, and a monitor screen is installed on the backside of each seat. Regardless of the actual number of children currently "taken" by SCP-4825, most seats are observed to be constantly filled. Despite being located underground, the view through the windows of SCP-4825 seem to indicate movement through a distorted and hellish landscape corresponding to the affected portion of ████████ Highway.

If any human individual presently riding a vehicle moving on the affected portion of ████████ Highway becomes irritated or agitated towards children below the age of 9 presently riding in the same vehicle and display a strong desire to discipline said children, the targeted children will instantly relocate into the interior of SCP-4825. At this point, they are designated SCP-4825-A-X instances for the sake of brevity.

Following relocation, worn and unsanitary surgical tools will manifest on the person of SCP-4825-A instances, and instructions outlining the task of crudely self-mutilating (referred to as "time-out games") a certain body region will play on the monitors, depicting methodical demonstrations made by an anthropomorphic elephant child2, hereon referred to as SCP-4825-1. The animation will give in combination to create one set of "tasks", detailed instructions for, including but not limited to, the removal of eyelids, suturing of the lips, removal of the ear, removal of the ear drum, removal of the vocal chord, severing of the leg tendons, evisceration of the █████, and removal of the ███████.

If the SCP-4825-A instance does not complete a task within the time allotted by SCP-4825-1 or refuses to carry out the tasks at all, SCP-4825-A instances will be physically coerced by means of █████ protruding from under the seats to to [PROCESS REDACTED], resulting in improved compliance on the part of the SCP-4825-A instance to fulfill the tasks. It should be noted that SCP-4825-A instances will not expire due to hemorrhage or dismemberment as long as it remains within SCP-4825. It should also be noted that the loss of ability to complete tasks3 will effectively sustain their captivity indefinitely within SCP-4825.

In the case a SCP-4825-A instance does eventually complete their given tasks, it will be spontaneously returned to their original position prior to removal into SCP-4825, wherein most cases SCP-4825 instances will promptly perish due to shock or blood loss.
