Special Containment Procedures: Under no circumstances should any civilian be allowed to enter the 200 km2 radius exclusion zone established around SCP-XXXX.
Satellite photos of the exclusion zone have been digitally modified to reflect topography typical of the surrounding area. Misinformation Campaign 18772-A ('Template Name') is currently being disseminated in nearby population centers.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation assigned to 82 humanoid entities gathered in western Kuwait that are permanently on fire. Where presumably the epidermis layer of skin should be present on SCP-XXXX instances is a thick layer of dark liquid similar in appearance to crude oil. This liquid is extremely flammable and is continuously excreted by SCP-XXXX. Each entity bears a uniform and munitions identical to standard Iraqi military gear issued in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. While composed of non-anomalous materials, the equipment does not appear to be affected by the damaging oxidation processes typically induced by burning.
All SCP-XXXX instances are immobile and sit arranged in a grid formation perfectly perpendicular to the lines of longitude and latitude relative to the region. Every instance is distanced 5 meters away from one another.
I see it in you, you know.
You stifle your enlightenment in the name of extending your mortal coil, while Gaia's blood has singed our sins away and liberated us from it entirely.
How many more have to die?
Special Containment Procedures: The remaining germplasm of SCP-XXXX is stored as seeds in a pressurized storage vault maintained at a constant temperature of −18 °C at Site-103. Vault ventilation runs under an isolated system separated by an airlock. Personnel entering the vault must be wearing a positive-pressure suit and be subjected to a chemical shower when exiting. No more than two personnel are allowed in at any time. Any removed materials are to be immediately decontaminated using an autoclave.
Under joint order of the O5 Council and the Ethics Committee, all testing with SCP-XXXX is indefinitely suspended until further notice.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the designation assigned to a plant species resembling that of the Muhlenbergia capillaris.
Currently only clear image of an active instance of SCP-XXXX (-6). Photographed in 600 nm by Foundation satellite.
Special Containment Procedures: Since all instances of SCP-XXXX are physically uncontainable, containment efforts are to be primarily focused on disinformation campaigns and the recovery of any SCP-XXXX-Δ instances when possible.
Cooperation with NASA and other space agencies in suppressing knowledge of SCP-XXXX has been widely effective.
Foundation operatives are to maintain the current inculcation that SCP-XXXX instances are
Foundation web crawlers are to monitor academic research journals and hobbyist astronomy discussion boards for any mention of SCP-XXXX related phenomena. Such information is to be erased and Class-A amnestics are to be administered to all associated persons.
The treatment of SCP-XXXX-Δ instances approaching Earth should be dealt with in accordance to their classification type:
| Type | Description | Follow-up protocol |
|---|---|---|
| Δ-White | cell-content | Object is a basic satellite |
| Δ-Green | cell-content | cell-content |
| Δ-Black | cell-content | cell-content |
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation to a series of massless bodies suspended in space. All 27 SCP-XXXX instances are located between the Earth—Moon system, with the furthest recorded distance being 98,050 km from Earth. These instances are henceforth referred specifically to as SCP-XXXX-1 through SCP-XXXX-27.
While the force of gravity does appear to exert energy on SCP-XXXX, instead of initiating planetary orbit with Earth in accordance with Kepler’s laws, instances remain in a static position relative to Earth. It should be noted that external gravitational forces, such as the Great Attractor, still exert a force on SCP-XXXX instances, given that the retrograde motion of instances remains parallel to the Local Group’s travel path.
The Hume value encompassing instances of SCP-XXXX has been identified to be extremely low, identified to be 1.6 × 10-█ Hu. Baseline physics around each body distorts substantially, characterized by a violation of the conservation of mass principle. This property results in a region around each instance that sustains a continuous pure empty space, resembling that of a perfect vacuum. All particles that manage to manifest within this region immediately vanish until a constant zero particle number can be achieved. The radius of each body is in constant flux; however, during any given instant, the effect is known to protrude from the bodies’ center for approximately 1,000–1,500 km before swiftly restoring to standard Hume levels.
Since SCP-XXXX instances absorb all electromagnetic radiation, the albedo of all SCP-XXXX instances is zero. As a result, observations are limited to the detection of obscured radiation from otherwise known distant light sources.
SCP-XXXX-Δ is a series of unidentified satellites, travelling in a constant path towards Earth.
When any SCP-XXXX-Δ object arrives within 3,000 ly of the Orion-Cygnus spiral arm of the Milky Way, an SCP-XXXX activation event is triggered. During an activation event, all SCP-XXXX instances will accelerate towards the target object to a velocity of approximately ███$c$. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX instances, the targetted object’s matter and electromagnetic radiation (including photons) associated with it will inexplicably vanish. To date, no trace of targeted objects has ever remained. After the complete obliteration of the object, all instances will return to their respective rest location near Earth. While this process does also distort the space around the instance's paths to the object, the standard properties of physics around the path decays to normal Hume levels much faster than initially believed.

Object circled in red. Photographed by Foundation radio telescope. Sensitive information redacted.
On 14/07/2013, a French research submarine had materialized outside SCP-XXXX-16 and had decompressed from the vacuum of space. The debris was recovered using a long distance temporal sink, with cooperation from the Foundation Petegrine program.
While the exact make is unknown, the object shares several similarities with Barracuda-class submarines. The rearmost section of the submarine was physically unrecognizable, supposedly by abnormally low Hume levels. Chemical analysis of the hull has proven inconsistent results. It is hypothesized that more traces of different compounds were present, however could not exist in our universe due to our current physical laws.
Four frozen corpses were discovered in the wreckage, along with an audio journal on a handheld cassette tape recorder. Identification of the bodies has proven inconclusive.
The following information was restored and recovered on the recorder, translated from French to English.
The sub got jammed in the throat, so we’re just gonna have to end up waiting until we either get unstuck, or this thing’s natural processes gets us out of here.
I’m gonna have to keep these audio journals somewhat short. This tape’s got only about an hour of storage.

This isn’t normal. That is, if getting swallowed by a big fish isn’t normal enough.
Our flood light doesn’t illuminate much, but from what we’ve seen, the stomach of this thing isn’t filled with food. It’s filled with objects. Satellites, solar panels. Something like parts of a space station.
Now, I’m no stranger to Mandarin, but… some of it’s engraved with a language I’ve never seen before, if that’s even supposed to be a language. Dots, lines, circles. I remember a few months back Albert showed me how INAKO put this silver disc onto their space probe. Of course on the off-chance you manage to contact aliens, you can’t use a written language, so engraved on it were these weird lines and diagrams of what we understood about the universe. The hydrogen atom, the location of our moons, DNA sequences… well, those are the kind of patterns I see here2.
It’s all decaying, too. Has this weird gunk on it, but I can’t tell if that’s part of the objects themselves, or if this thing is actually digesting it. I hope it’s the former, because if this thing can digest metal, we’re in trouble.
Our radio transmitter has been out for weeks now, but yesterday we picked up some signals on the receiver. Multiple ones. It didn’t seem like they were coming from outside, rather than this thing emitted them. Couldn’t get a good reading though, only about 300 hertz. We left it running for a few hours until we heard somebody talking.
Unidentified Voice: I wouldn’t really call it talking.
Voltaire: Well, more like nonsensical garbling than talking. It got a good scare out of Marc. Decided to shut it off after we realized it was going to continue for another hour.
Sub finally broke free. Turned it around and been trying to head out ever since. There’s no way this thing is actually bigger than it is. With every passage the submarine moves through, it always diverges into two or three more. Esophaguses aren't structured like this. Sigheim isn’t doing too well.
We must’ve been here for a month now.
Marc’s finally lost it. Started thrashing around and trying to smash the pipes before Sigheim had to put him down over the head with a fire extinguisher. A few tethers around him later, he was a lot more cooperative. To be honest— I don’t blame him. I’d probably endure the same fate if this farce continues for another month.
Submarine’s still making oxygen, so ‘least we won’t suffocate. Although the electrolysis battery’s got that gunk on it that I mentioned before. We scraped as much as we could off, but it just reappears the next day. I think this thing is eating it. I don't know. I’ve given up trying to figure out what this abomination of nature is. We’ve been taking turns scraping it off every morning so it doesn’t eat through our god damn power supply.

Distillation plant’s working just fine. Food… as for food, supplies are running low. Trying to ration out the last of our non perishables. Found a couple of old soupcans, so that’ll be our dinner for the next wee— what the fuck? What is that?
Okay, update: we just saw a corpse. Just floating around in the water, completely covered in that gunk crap. Shit. Shit, okay.
We drifted past some stuff. Looked like small stars, not much larger than the sub. Just hanging there in the water.
Unidentified Voice 1: Voltaire, you might want to take a look at this. Looks—
Unidentified Voice 2: Is that the mouth? Are… are we out of here?
Voltaire: Wait, is… Those are teeth! Fucking floor it! Marc, set the air pressure to 300 PSI…
Unidentified Voice 2: We’ve got only about fifteen hundred watts left—
Voltaire: Do it! We’ve got enough power to get through the rip current, anything less is—

Any data beyond this point could not be restored. Further analysis of the cassette reveals that the tape continues recording for the next 19 minutes before all recording capacity is depleted, and is rendered unusable.

As much as I’d love to use Kant counters stationed around our galaxy to find where the holes in reality are, it’s just not feasible to do so with our current knowledge. It’s hard enough to create two pocket universes in localized space, but trying to create two the size of our moon’s orbit? I’m sorry, but there are just too many damn rocks in space.
So, my team resorted to temporal sinks.
I’ve attached my findings.

SCP-XXXX
Special Containment Procedures: Under no circumstances is anyone to enter within the 3.5 km2 exclusion zone established around the town of Winward. Anyone entering the exclusion zone is to be considered lost, and no rescue attempts are to be made.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an extradimensional temporal anomaly affecting a recreational center designated "███████ Fun Center" in the town of Winward, New Hampshire .
Description: SCP-XXXX is a computer algorithm for a cellular automaton that is a modification of the existing Conway's Game of Life algorithm.
-to do-
At each step in time, the following transitions occur:
Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction.
