Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-1 should be kept in a 5m x 4m x 4m room in anomalous item Sector 6 of Site-84. Two (2) armed guards are to be positioned directly outside the main door leading to the containment area. No individual below Level 5 clearance is to enter the booth for any reason outside of controlled testing.
Previous Special Containment Procedures (Ended 27/08/2020): SCP-XXXX-1 is to have at least three (3) armed guards directly positioned to either side of the booth and are to allow no civilian access within two (2) metres of the anomaly, outside of testing. The surrounding area is to be heavily monitored with CCTV and surrounding buildings are to be watched by field agents twenty four (24) hours a day. The owner of the ███████'█ Inn is to be updated on the basic nature of SCP-XXXX-1 due to the establishment's 30 metre vicinity from the booth, the owner's complient nature and his history with the Foundation. As of 11/04/2009, security cameras have been placed nearby to allow for constant surveillance of the area and predetermine any potential threats to SCP-XXXX-1 or security personnel (See incident report XXXX-1).
SCP-XXXX-1 prior to testing.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 appears as a standard KX Series British telephone booth in Dorset, on the south coast of England. It has undergone normal weathering and high levels of graffiti vandalism. The object’s anomalous properties manifest when an individual steps inside SCP-XXXX-1 and closes the door behind them. An individual who is inside the booth at this time will disappear and materialise in a presumed alternate reality. During this time, SCP-XXXX-1 will also vanish. The reality accessed via SCP-XXXX-1 appears consistent and has not been observed to differ, as Exploration Log XXXX-2 reveals footprints of D-class from an earlier expedition.
The reality accessed via SCP-XXXX-1 is a near mirror dimension of our own, having the same laws of physics etc. The explored landscape is extremely similar to baseline reality, but seems to have undergone an XK-End of the world scenario that caused almost complete breakdown of human society. Following multiple expeditions into the dimension, notable observations have been listed as follows.
. All flora display weakened colouring
. Lack of fauna other than avian species of birds
. Very high humidity and abundant fog
. Abandoned/partially destroyed buildings
. A large cephalopod entity in the sky resembling Octopus Vulgaris (Common Octopus)
The cephalopod entity (henceforth referred to as SCP-XXXX-2 or ‘The entity’) is approximately 600-700 metres in length, although due to little footage of the entity, size is debated. SCP-XXXX-2 has been observed stalking test subjects at a distance and observing activities as they explore the dimension, but shows no interest for remotely operated drones/vehicles. Loud rumbling similar to that of creaking metal is also reported to be created by the entity when it enters a cloud. SCP-XXXX-2 appears to attempt to stay partially hidden in clouds in the surrounding area. Exploration via drones reveals SCP-XXXX-2 to have a slight ‘aura’ surrounding it, although it this is not always present. This ‘aura’ is not observable to the human eye while in the reality, but can be observed via camera footage. Drones sent up to clouds recently occupied by SCP-XXXX-2 for a number of hours confirm that they are compromised of water. Data analysis also reveals that the atomic makeup of the ‘aura’ excreted by the entity is identical to that of water, but is not in a gaseous or liquid form, rather being a thick, slimy solution and it’s means of being unaffected by gravity after being excreted or how it is produced are currently unknown. When it hardens, the substance in very durable. It has been utilised in the construction of multiple foundation sites, containment for numerous anomalies and use as fuel for diesel based systems. A request for reclassification to Thaumiel class has been filed as of 18/02/2005. Notably, no hostile encounters with the entity have been observed and it is presumed that SCP-XXXX-2 cannot enter our reality through SCP-XXXX-1 due to it’s size but a contingency plan for this event is currently undergoing creation.
The dimension occupied by SCP-XXXX-2 is as previously mentioned, incredibly similar to our Earth, but appears to have undergone an event that lead to collapse of human society, potentially caused by SCP-███ or SCP-4217. Seeing the effects of these Keters on the planet has allowed researchers to more intensively create a contingency plan if containment for these anomalies fails. Current theories suggest that following an anomalous event, the ground became uninhabitable in some manner, leading to the demise of all terrestrial organisms but allowing airborne creatures to flourish, explaining the abundance of avian bird species, notably Columbia livia (Common Pigeon). The lack of vibrance in plants is as of yet unexplained.
Exploration Log XXXX-1:
Subject: D-4008, a healthy caucasian male 32 years of age. Convicted with breaking and entering of Site-19, Site-77, Site-101 and Area-51. Subject is equipped with recording equipment, a survival knife and rope.
Subject is informed of the basic nature of SCP-XXXX-1, but due to former lack of understanding, there is limited data. Researchers are near completely unaware of the nature of the other reality other than it’s visual appearance from previous drone tests. Subject is prompted to enter the booth, met with mild refusal from D-4008 but is eventually compliant with researchers. Subject enters the booth and shuts the door behind him, causing expected anomalous transport. MTF Aqua-5 (Water Horses) are positioned at the site of disappearance ready to ensure a safe return and protect from any outside threats.
SCP-XXXX-1 during Exploration Log XXXX-1.
The camera flickers on, giving a detailed look at the inside of the booth, D-4008 is informed to step outside which is met with full compliance. Subject steps outside and seems slightly startled, expressing how ‘chilly’ it is. Subject takes a heavy breath and asks researchers for guidance. Subject is told to turn left and walk for approximately 90 metres. The camera pans left and subject walks the desired distance before being met with a cliff edge meeting the sea, consistent with our dimension’s counterpart. To the left of of the footage, the ████████‘█ Inn is visible, again matching up with our reality. D-4008 is permitted to explore the grounds of the inn. The building appears abandoned, but is structurally sound and in stable condition. Subject states they feel uneasy about the mission and would like to return. Researchers deny this request, reminding him he has food and water to last a day and will return only upon their request. The camera turns to the hills at the right of the subject, with SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 clearly in view. The sudden appearance of the entity startles both D-4008 and research staff manning the cameras. Hasty footsteps can be heard and footage becomes shaky, large noises resembling metallic groaning can be heard emanating from SCP-XXXX-2’s direction. Whether the subject’s response to this stimulus is anomalous in origin is under examination (UPDATE: Exploration Log XXXX-2 confirms that the response was simply natural instinct.) D-4008 clambers into the booth and shuts the door, arriving back to our reality moments later. Subject is let off with a steady warning not to disobey orders again and is threatened with termination.
Incident Report XXXX-1:
On 14/09/2009 at 11:56 PM, a group of approximately 7-8 men from The ████████‘█ Inn who are presumably intoxicated, traverse up the road leading away from the pub, leading to SCP-XXXX-1. Foundation CCTV cameras are being monitored as per standard protocol and the (at the time 2) guards are alerted of the group’s presence. The men see the undercover guards and walk past them, but one turns back and attempts to enter SCP-XXXX-1. As per protocol, guards request the man not enter the booth. This is met with refusal and the man grasps the door handle. One guard firmly grasps the man’s forearm and requests he steps away from the object. Met with further refusal, guards pull out firearms and once again request compliance. Upon realising the guards are armed, all men quickly overwhelm the guards and render them unconscious, attempting to utilise the guard’s weapons to terminate them but are too intoxicated to turn off the safety. A containment breach is sounded and Site-84 dispatches MTF Aqua-5 to dissolve the situation and administer sedatives and amnestics to the group. Security footage reveals the initial man enter SCP-XXXX-1 and upon disappearance, the group begins yelling the man’s name and questioning him of his whereabouts. After approximately 20 minutes, MTF Aqua-5 arrives and carries out their objectives, returning the men to their homes. Researchers attempt to find a way of returning SCP-XXXX-1 to our reality and a cover story for the man’s disappearance is created.
Approximately [REDACTED] hours after initial disappearance, SCP-XXXX-1 returned to our reality and the man was found inside, severely bleeding and bruised.1 The source of his injuries are unknown. He was brought back to Site-84 and treated in the medical wing. He was unresponsive to any questioning, appearing to be in a state of shock, repeating ‘arms’ incoherently (this is theorised to be referring to SCP-XXXX-2). After site command came to the conclusion that he was permanently mentally scarred and would not recover by natural methods, he was treated with Class-B amnestics and returned to his home, under the explanation that he was the victim of an severe mugging. Whether the mental trauma was caused anomalously or was simply a natural reaction is undergoing further research.
Note: After this incident, containment protocol was updated to require a third armed guard hidden in the nearby vicinity to allow for further surveillance and protection of SCP-XXXX-1 and to provide support for the other guards at SCP-XXXX-1 in a combat situation.
Exploration Log XXXX-2:
Subject: D-5891 is a female of average height and build (charged with activity surrounding The Chaos Insurgency and breach of Foundation secrecy) is equipped with recording equipment, a small firearm, gasoline, rope, a temporary shelter and a watch (set to GMT standard time) in order to test how time passes in the dimension entered via SCP-XXXX-1. MTF operative Woods is sent with the subject to serve as an escort through the reality.
As per testing protocol, MTF Aqua-5 (Water Horses) are stationed outside of the booth and all surrounding routes to the area have been blocked by foundation personnel. The owner of The ████████‘█ Inn is alerted that testing is taking place and the property is cleared of civilian presence.
Expedition subjects enter SCP-XXXX-1. Researchers allow the expedition to commence, and the door is shut. Standard dematerialisation occurs. After a brief moment of static, D-5891’s camera feed flickers on. Operative Woods’ camera fails to start but research staff order the mission to carry on. Subject D-5891 is instructed to walk to her left and carry out the same path as the D-class from the first expedition. The footprints of D-4008 are clearly visible on the subject’s camera feed. Operative Woods has knowledge of SCP-XXXX-2 and command asks him to check for the entity’s presence. The operative complies and radio feed confirms that SCP-XXXX-2 is present. Notably, Operative Woods does not display similar reactions to D-4008 from the previous expedition, implying that the fear response may not be anomalous in origin. D-5891 is instructed to turn to face the entity. Subject complies and immediately freezes in place, upon realising the presence of SCP-XXXX-2. Subject questions the Operative Woods on the nature of the entity and her heart and breathing rate decreases slightly. Both are instructed to explore the surrounding area.
Subjects traverse the road leading away from The ████████‘█ Inn, encountering abandoned homes and are instructed to turn left up a small path which is theorised to lead to a holiday campsite (based on our reality’s counterpart of the area). After approximately 7 minutes, subjects arrive at their destination. Footage reveals five (5) small fields, consistent with our reality’s counterpart. Notably, there are no tents present, but on-site facilities (structures that consist of concrete and plaster are present and intact. Due to cloudy conditions, the sun is not visible so time readings via solar methods are unavailable. D-5891’s wristwatch reads 10:32 AM, however time passing in the dimension is uncertain. Subjects are recommended to deploy their shelter on the spot, the registratory office on the site will provide added protection from wet weather conditions. Following compliance, subjects point out a breaking in the clouds. Camera feed confirms the observation and the Sun is visible. It’s location in the sky is again consistent with our reality’s counterpart, allowing the watch to be used as a suitable method of determining time. SCP-XXXX-2 is still visible on the horizon.
11:53 AM:
Subjects complete construction of their temporary shelter and begin consuming rations next to a fire they have erected. A thunderous rumbling emanating from SCP-XXXX-2 can be heard and subjects are thoroughly frightened by the reverberations and flee to the shelter of the concrete registratory building. Subjects are promoted to step outside and observe the entity. Operative Woods complies and relays information that the entity is stagnant and has not moved from it’s original position. D-5891 emerges from the building and video feed confirms the MTF’s observations.
2:11 PM:
While searching for organic material to fuel the fire, video feed reveals D-5891 discovering an abandoned vehicle in one of the surrounding fields. Subject returns to the shelter, informing Operative Woods, who takes the gasoline from the expedition kit. Subjects reveal the vehicle to be a 1993 Dodge brand pickup truck that is intact. Mission control permit subjects to utilise it in the expedition.
6:02 PM:
Sun begins to set and subjects search for additional firewood. SCP-XXXX-2 remains stationary. Subjects prepare the shelter for the night.
2:58 AM:
Thunderous rumbling can be heard emanating from outside the shelter. Subjects are awoken by the sound and scramble outside to look for the disturbance. SCP-XXXX-2 is almost directly overhead the subjects and both subjects are severely startled. Researchers command the subjects to immediately load their possessions onto the pickup truck. This is the only known encounter with SCP-XXXX-2 where it has come within approximately 500 metres (1640 feet) of any personnel.
3:03 AM:
Subjects arrive in the nearby town of Osmingtonton. They set up shelter in an abandoned pub (The ███ ███) and do not rest for the remaining portion of the night.
3:10 AM:
[DATA EXPUNGED]
7:30 AM:
Research personnel are debriefed on the incident the previous night. They are instructed to travel to a point exactly 887 metres (2910 feet) from SCP-XXXX-1. The location is home to a WWII pillbox that was erected by the British Army to serve as a reconnaissance and gunning platform in preparation for a potential German invasion from northern France. The platform is on a cliff edge and within walking distance of SCP-XXXX-1. The purpose of this is to gage whether the failed German invasion in our reality, occurred in this reality. If the invasion was a success, then SCP-███ and SCP-4217 would have likely been the cause of the XK-End of the world scenario.
9:17 AM:
Subjects load gear onto vehicle and begin to their destination.
9:31 AM:
Subjects get as close to their destination using paved roads and continue on foot.
9:42 AM:
Subjects reach their destination. Footage reveals that the pillbox has numerous bullet holes and minor damage. The ground surrounding the structure seems younger, implying detonation of an explosive shell. This suggests that German forces crossed the English Channel and invaded the British Mainland, engaging the forces positioned at outposts such as this. This would likely cause containment breaches of SCP-███ and SCP-4217. Portland Harbour is visible in the distance, the land bridge leading to it is split in two.
9:49 AM:
Subjects are prompted to move back to their vehicle. SCP-XXXX-2 can be seen residing in clouds over the sea. Subjects request permission to return through SCP-XXXX-1. Request is granted by command and preparations for subject’s return begin.
10:24 AM:
Subjects bring supplies to SCP-XXXX-1 and load possessions into the booth. Command instructs subjects to stay put while they prepare for their return.
11:00 AM:
Both subjects enter the booth and door is shut. Anomalous transport does not occur. The phone inside begins ringing and Operative Woods picks it up. An unidentified voice from the other side informs him that there are too many people inside and only 1 person is permitted back at a time. The MTF operative commands D-5891 to step away from the booth, and command is informed of the situation. Command allows Operative Woods to return. Subject arrives in our reality shortly after, without incident.
Upon return to Site-84, the operative was interviewed by researchers.
Interviewed: MTF Operative Woods
Interviewer: Researcher Fisher
Foreword: This interview took place 2 hours after Operative Woods emerged from SCP-XXXX-1 after Exploration XXXX-2.
<Begin Log>
Researcher Fisher: Can you please give a brief statement on the expedition, Woods?
Operative Woods: Well it wasn’t pleasant to say the least. Barely slept because of that octopus thing.
Researcher Fisher: I apologise for the inconvenience. Please describe what occurred in the final moments of the expedition, just before you returned.
Operative Woods: (silence)
Researcher Fisher: Operative Woods, this is a formal interview, you are required to spea-
Operative Woods: Sorry, I just zoned out.
Researcher Fisher: That’s okay. Please elaborate on the final moments of the expedition.
Operative Woods:: Just before I went back into the booth, there was a huge explosion, like a blast had gone off right next to me that distracted D-5891. I looked up and saw the octopu- I mean SCP-XXXX-2 covered in black smoke and there was a massive ship in the sky firing these explosive shells at the thing. Well I’m not sure if it was an airship or some fancy [DATA EXPUNGED] we’ve got cooking u-

<End Log>
Addendum XXXX.1:
Due to the habitable nature of the dimension accessed via SCP-XXXX-1, research is currently underway to utilise it in a contingency involving a mass exodus to the reality in the event of an XK-End of the world scenario.
Closing Statement from Senior Researcher Fisher:
On 27/08/2020, the item in question has been uprooted and brought back to Site-84, which should make containment easier. I’ve also had to remove a large portion of that interview from Exploration Log XXXX-2 because I don’t think the 0-5 would be happy with people knowing about that ‘airship’ yet.
Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-5767’s shell and terrarium are to be kept in a secure item locker in Sector 4 of Site-52. SCP-5767’s shell must be kept in a small clear plastic case that is air tight, to prevent natural atmospheric degradation.
Previous Special Containment Procedures (Ended 19/11/2019): A terrarium (5m by 4m by 3m) replicating a typical garden landscape is to be allocated as living quarters for SCP-5767. The terrarium should have 70%-80% humidity and the features may be altered upon the entity's request. SCP-5657 is allowed to freely roam it’s designated living quarters. A clear tubing system that encompasses Sector 4 of Site-52 has been created in order for the entity to observe sections of the facility if it wishes. SCP-5767 may freely roam this tubing network except in a site lockdown, where it should be positioned inside of it's terrarium until further notice. One (1) researcher with a PhD in Entomology is to be stationed nearby to maintain upkeep of the enclosure and monitor SCP-5767's general wellbeing. Daily, a small cup of assorted fruits and vegetables should be placed inside the terrarium with cucumbers being added on Fridays. One (1) armed guard is to be placed outside the room housing the entity's terrarium if someone is visiting the containment area. All requests by SCP-5767 must have approval from at least two (2) level 3 researchers. It is to be supplied with a weekly magazine about up-to-date scientific findings and information, as well as requested SCP documents (though viewing of documents must first be approved by site management).
SCP-5767 in containment
Description: SCP-5767 is a sentient garden land snail (Helix aspersa aspersa) that is slightly larger than a regular specimen, being approximately 7cm long and 3cm tall. It is capable of mental communication with sapient humanoids and is theorised to be able to have two way conversations with some intelligent animal life. SCP-5767 has been observed making mental connections with up to 3 subjects at a time and is extremely cooperative with researchers. The entity’s voice has been described as having a South-Eastern British accent and having a calming tone of voice similar to an elderly human male. SCP-5767’s voice has been observed becoming quieter as a person moves further away from the entity and becoming greater in volume at close distances. The primary physical difference between SCP-5767 and a normal garden snail is a small grey beard growing from the entity’s radula2 that has reached a maximum length of 3cm but SCP-5767 prefers to keep it a length of 1cm. All other physical features and anatomy are non-anomalous.
SCP-5767 claims it is extremely old, being able to recount in detail multiple historic events it has been present for. In addition, it is able to tell a near complete recount of the Foundation’s history saying it has watched from ‘a safe distance’ and it commends the Foundation for maintaining it’s secrecy for so long. The entity states it has spent numerous years in Cambridge, England observing university classes. It expresses interest in science, history and human psychology. In addition to this, it says it has travelled the world and visited many important locations, including Foundation sites.
A portion of SCP-5767’s terrarium.
Note from Researcher Smith:
Thank goodness we got this little guy under our custody, he has intimate knowledge of about 50 anomalies. We could have a serious breach of secrecy if it wanted to tell someone prior to it’s containment. Disruption class updated from Dark to Keneq.3
The entity is allowed to be visited by any staff with Level 2 clearance or higher, as long as a guard is present. Subjects wishing to interact with SCP-5767 are encouraged to bring fresh vegetables to the enclosure on visits, though cucumbers are generally discouraged.4 Lettuce, tomatoes and mushrooms are some of the entity’s favourites.
The following is a list of all formal requests made by SCP-5767 as of 22/02/2020:
One (1) visit from Agent Carter. ACCEPTED
One (1) bowl of fruit and vegetables. ACCEPTED (Feeding routine is now in place.)
More moss in it’s terrarium. ACCEPTED
One (1) extra slice of cucumber. ACCEPTED
One (1) rub on the shell. ACCEPTED
One (1) extra slice of cucumber. DENIED
One (1) newspaper/magazine relating to scientific studies. ACCEPTED (Entity is now supplied with a weekly edition of ‘National Geographic’ magazine, and approved SCP documents.)
Recovery: SCP-5767 was discovered on 02/05/2006 by Agent Carter in Cambridge, England during an off duty walk along the River Cam. The agent recalls turning a corner and being contacted by SCP-5767. The entity supposedly requested to be brought into the Foundation’s custody and had been attempting to communicate with Agent Carter for days prior to recovery. Agent Carter does not recall being spoken to by SCP-5657 before this event.
Upon discovery, the entity was brought back to Site-68 without incident. Temporary containment was secured following minor examination and a brief interview (See Interview Log 5767-1). After 4 weeks of observation, the entity was transferred to Site-52 for long-term containment.
Interviewed: SCP-5767
Interviewer: Researcher Smith
Foreword: This interview was conducted 3 hours after initial recovery, after confirming SCP-5767’s sentient nature.
<Begin Log>
Researcher Smith: Hello?
SCP-5767: I’m down here, Sir.
(Researcher Smith leans over the table to view SCP-5767 seated on the chair on the opposite side)
Researcher Smith: What kind of circus are we running here, put it in front of me.
(Research assistants pick up SCP-5767 and place it on the table)
SCP-5767: Thank you for the assistance, but I’m perfectly capable of moving myself. How are you today, Sir?
Researcher Smith: I’m, (pauses) okay.
(There is silence for approximately 5 seconds)
Researcher Smith: Are you able to give a brief list of your anomalous qualities, please?
SCP-5767: From my study of my species, my only abnormalities are my ability to speak with you, a longer life, and an increased mental capacity, not to toot my own horn as they say.
Researcher Smith: Are you at all related to, or aware of SCP-1867, “Lord Theodore Thomas Blackwood”?
SCP-5767: It doesn’t ring a bell, sorry.
Researcher Smith: Very well. And what made you seek out Agent Carter and Foundation custody?
SCP-5767: I have watched your Foundation grow in the shadows since [DATA EXPUNGED], on top of my other expeditions. I must say I find your work extremely interesting. I have travelled the world three times over and have seen everything I wished to see, and thought that you might like to study me or put me to some sort of use in my old age.
Researcher Smith: Thank you for your cooperation, you should be given temporary housing soon. This concludes the interview.
<End Log>
Following this interview, SCP-5767 requested to speak with Agent Carter, the man who recovered the entity. The request was accepted by site management and the conversation can be found in Interview Log 5767-2.
Interviewed: SCP-5767
Interviewer: Agent Carter
Foreword: This interview was requested by SCP-5767 following Interview Log 5767-1, under the premises that it ‘wanted a chat’.
<Begin Log>
Agent Carter: Hi?
SCP-5767: Ah, I’m glad to see you, Carter. How are you?
Agent Carter: I’m.. doing alright, I guess. How are you?
SCP-5767: (chuckles) I’m just fine. Thank you for bringing me in, I look forward to our future work.
Agent Carter: Do you mean with me specifically or the Foundation?
SCP-5767: Either, I suppose. I have watched this group’s actions for a number of years and am excited to learn from you all.
Agent Carter: I’m not sure you’ll be allowed access to our documents if that’s what you mean. The guys up top aren’t very trusting of things they don’t understand but I’ll see what I can do.
SCP-5767: That’s quite okay, thank you, Carter.
Agent Carter: You’re welcome. Do you need anything else?
SCP-5767: No, that’s okay.
(Silence for 35 seconds)
Agent Carter: Sorry, if I seem a bit quiet, I’ve seen so many odd things here, but never thought I’d be talking to a snail.
SCP-5767: I understand. Hurry along, I’m sure you have something else to do.
(Agent Carter leaves the room)
<End Log>
After 4 weeks of observation, the entity was transferred to Site-52 for long-term containment.
Addendum 5767.1: On ██/██/2011, Agent Carter was reassigned to Site-52 for an unrelated mission. During the agent's stay, he ran into SCP-5767. The pair were talking for about 4 hours before Agent Carter was summoned to deal with another anomaly. The following is a note from Agent Carter after their conversation.
“That was one of the best conversations I have had with anyone in years. He isn’t lying when he says he has travelled the world, he’s full of stories that can keep you talking for hours. I think he would make a great councillor for anyone who needed it. I’m leaving to go back to England tomorrow, and I’m really gonna miss him to be honest.“
Following this, the ability to freely visit SCP-5767 was granted to all personnel with Level 2 clearance or above. Agent Carter filed a request to be permanently relocated to Site-52. This request was accepted by site management.
Containment Update 14/07/2012: A clear tubing system has been implemented in Sector 4 of Site-52 that allows SCP-5767 to observe some of the actions carried out by our personnel. The system runs along the upper right hand corridors of all main corridors, with additional viewing including staff rooms, research departments and 5 safe class anomalies. SCP-5767 would like all staff in Sector 7 to know it is incredibly thankful for this privilege.
Note from from Agent Carter on 23/09/2012:
It’s been a real privilege being able to call this guy my friend. I’ve never met a human like him, he just has such a peaceful way about him, all my troubles drift away when I speak with him. He says I remind him of himself. I don’t really see it (he is a snail after all) but I trust him. He’s become a mentor, like a grandfather to me. Since my own grandfather passed away, SCP-5657 has filled the gap.
I’ve also noticed that staff morale has gone up in Sector 4 since they can see him in his tubes and can freely visit SCP-5767. Hopefully we find more like him, I feel other sites could benefit from something similar.
Incident Log 5767-1:
On ██/██/2016, Site-52 experienced a mass containment breach caused by SCP-████ that resulted in 140 casualties. When an instance of SCP-███ entered Sector 4, Agent Carter was in the path of the entity. Agent Carter was subsequently terminated and was discovered after lockdown was lifted. SCP-5767 did not eat or speak to personnel for 3 months following the incident despite attempts to encourage it to do so. Visits were suspended during this time.
Note from Senior Researcher Brown:
SCP-5767 has gradually begun becoming it’s normal self once again. We understand this event was very traumatic for the entity and we discourage staff from speaking about it to SCP-5767. Hopefully, in time it will regain it’s former love for conversation. (UPDATE: As of 11/06/2017, the entity has resumed it’s normal routine and appears to be doing just fine for now.)
In it’s progressive ageing, SCP-5767 has begun to deteriorate in health. Though it continues to provide support for others, it is believed SCP-5767 may expire in the near future.
Addendum 5767.2: On 19/11/2020, SCP-5767 quietly passed away in it’s sleep. The entity’s death was attributed to natural causes of old ageing. SCP-5767 had been particularly lethargic for days prior to this, so staff didn’t discover it’s body for 1 day after it is thought to have expired. It’s remains where already decomposing, so they were allowed to decompose completely before the shell was recovered. It is believed SCP-5767 was one of a kind, but a search for other potential instances is ongoing. SCP-5767 never requested a companion or mate, so it is believed it never produced offspring. The staff of Site-52 express their sorrow at this loss.
An SCP-5745-2 instance,5captured in Queensland, Australia.
Special Containment Procedures: Upon discovery of an SCP-5745-1 manifestation, depending on the location and severity, MTF Units Paleo-1 through Paleo-7 must be dispatched to contain any SCP-5745-2 instances. If possible, any captured instances are to be brought to Site-5745 and placed in the large environment for further research and study. Lethal force is authorised if an SCP-5745-2 instance becomes hostile.
Description: SCP-5745-1 is a reoccurring space-time anomalous event during which, a rift in time is manifested through unknown means. The rifts always connect our time with periods before humans are thought to exist (typically Cambrian to Pleistocene eras). The location of SCP-7545-1 manifestations is seemingly random, though they occasionally repeat in locations they have previously appeared in. SCP-5745-1 always manifests in locations with a similar climate and ecosystem to the era that the rift is connected. Presently, no link between SCP-5745 and SCP-1265 has been discovered.
SCP-5745-2 are creatures that appear from SCP-5745-1 (typically from the clade Dinosauria, Reptilia, or Mammalia). It is currently believed they are legitimate specimens from the eras they emerged, as DNA samples match. SCP-5745-2 are normally docile, appearing to avoid humans at all costs, but if cornered or startled will become aggressive. Carnivorous instances are more prone to these outbursts and have been known to hunt humans as prey. SCP-5745-2 instances have been known to survive in a modern environment for some while, and a herd of Parasaurolophus walkeri currently under study have been permitted to roam the Amazonian rainforest for some time. Some instances that have been observed in our time period have thrived in the new environment for months before discovery.
The following is a list of all repeat locations SCP-5745-1 has manifested as of 12/03/2021:6
Hell Creek, Montana, USA
Taynton Limestone, Oxfordshire, England
Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia
██████, Gobi Desert, Mongolia
Elliot Formation, South Africa
69°44'52"S 131°12'24"E · 2.51 km, Antarctica
Point Nemo, South Pacific Ocean
Notably, most of these locations are famous for fossilised fragments and/or full skeletons.
History: The first recorded instance of an SCP-5745-1 manifestation comes from the 11th Century, the event being documented in multiple historic paintings. It depicts St. George killing what is believed to be a Dimorphodon macronyx that emerged from SCP-5745-1. A cover story has been fabricated, dismissing the entity as a fictitious ‘dragon’. The section of paintings with SCP-5745-1 visible has been removed. Depictions of SCP-5745-2 are present throughout historical texts and artwork, for example, asian depictions of dragons are theorised to resemble Titanoboa cerrejonensis or some other species of megafauna snake. If any new references to SCP-5745-2 instances are discovered, they must be dismissed as common folklore or exaggeration of an already existing species.
In 1964, it was discovered that manifestations could be detected an hour before their opening, as radiation levels in the area would spike. This knowledge has benefitted the Foundation in efforts to contain SCP-5745. This requires a Geiger counter7 to be present in the location, so rifts are not always detected if this is not present.
There seems to have been a period where SCP-5745-1 manifestations became non-existent or dormant, as there is no evidence supporting this anomaly from approximately 1450 to 1890. Throughout the 20th and 21st Centuries, SCP-5745-1 seems to manifest more prevalently than ever in modern day. It is theorised the opening of rifts has active and dormant periods, lasting approximately 200-300 years between each dormant event. Currently, we are living in a time where SCP-5745-1 is in an active state.
Due to the frequency of rift openings, 7 MTF Units have been created to specifically deal with SCP-5745-2 threats. These MTF teams have been designated the ‘Paleo Division’. A full list of Paleo Division squads and specs can be found here:
Paleo-1 ‘Cavemen’
Location: North America
Members: 17
Specialisation: Large members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia
Paleo-2 ‘ACU’
Location: South America
Members: 8
Specialisation: Medium to large members of clade Dinosauria
Paleo-3 ‘Swamp Waders’
Location: Europe
Members: 11
Specialisation: Small to medium members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia/Reptilia
Paleo-4 ‘Desert Dwellers’
Location: Asia
Members: 14
Specialisation: Small to large members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia/Avialae
Paleo-5 ‘Park Rangers’
Location: Africa
Members: 7
Specialisation: Medium members of clade Dinosauria/Mammalia
Paleo-6 ‘Prehistoric Poachers’
Location: Oceania (also tasked with defence of Site-5745)
Members: 16
Specialisation: Medium members of clade Dinosauria
Paleo-7 ‘Woolly Mammoths’
Location: Antarctica
Members: 8
Specialisation: Small to large members of clade Mammalia
Note: Not all members of the Paleo Division are assigned strictly to SCP-5745, but may be assigned only in the event of an SCP-5745-1 manifestation in their given location.
Addendum 5745.1:
Species recovered and currently residing in Site-5745 in order of recovery (This list does not include the various species that have been terminated upon manifestation):
. 12 Triceratops horridus
. 6 Parasaurolophus walkeri
. 2 Apatosaurus marsh
. 13 Psittacosaurus mongoliensis
. 1 Tyrannosaurus rex
. 1 Sarcosuchus imperator8
. 1 Baryonyx walkeri
. 4 Dilophosaurus wetherilli
. 3 Balaur bondoc
Any and all eggs produced by SCP-5745-2 instances must immediately be destroyed to prevent overpopulation of the area.
Aerial view of Site-5745
Site-5745 has been created around Mt. Taranaki, New Zealand, to facilitate long-term containment of captured SCP-5745-2 instances. The area surrounding Mt. Taranaki is open to the public for tourism so as not to arouse suspicion, but permitted only on Foundation operated tours that follow a predetermined scouted route. Site-5745 is home to many natural species of modern day animals and plants that serve as food sources for the SCP-5745-2, however a herd of larger live creatures such as cattle are to be added to the area weekly for carnivorous instances to hunt. Large amounts of consumable greens are to be dropped into a small field in Site-5745 weekly, as herbivorous instances will completely consume the forest within a matter of years if left to fend for themselves. Though SCP-5745-2 often do not hunt each other, they will occasionally hunt and kill other instances, at which point, a new instance from the next rift event shall replace it.
The following is a log taken by Researcher Walker during his routinely inspection of the environment within Site-5745.
08:00: Me and 5 men from Paleo-6 left the research building early to get a full day in. Walked right into a tree branch. Ouch.
09:14: First sign of an SCP-5745-2 instance. A few small creatures ran in front of us, but left as suddenly as they appeared. Probably the Balaurs, they are good at being unseen.
10:45: Heard a large sound resembling a bassoon. I believe it was a Parasaur, hopefully we will reach the herd soon.
10:56: Heard it again but louder. Getting close.
12:00: Stopped for lunch.
13:01: Stumbled across the herd. It seems the Parasaurs, Apatasaurus and Psitticasaurus have formed a large herd. This is unexpected, all 3 species would have never interacted with each other, they lived millions of years apart, let alone created a herd. Survival in numbers I guess. Still no sign of the Triceratops.
14:00: Have been watching the herd for an hour. Leaving to look for something else.
14:28: Command alerted us that the cows would be dropped in about half an hour. Moving to the drop point.
14:56: Reached feeding point. Ready to observe feeding, team is on high alert.
15:11: Cows were dropped off 10 minutes ago, the Tyrannosaur made an appearance! It just shot out of the tree line, grabbed one off the ground and made off with it. It was in and out of the clearing in less than 10 seconds. Worrying to see it move that fast.
15:13: Soon after the Rex left, the Balaurs showed up. These things are tiny, about the size of a medium dog. They did some amazing stuff, one of them bit the cow’s leg and while it was distracted, the other 2 jumped on it’s neck and finished it off. They remind me of wolves.
15:20: We caught the Balaurs trying to sneak up on us. Probably just curious, they like to watch what we do through the fence of the research lab, but the guys want to get moving. No show from the Baryonyx or Dilophosaurus. (Or Sarcosuchus, but that thing never gets seen).
16:00: Have been trekking for 40 minutes straight, taking a break.
16:12: Heard Triceratops mating call, moving in that direction.
17:40: Have been looking for that Trike for a while, might head back to base soon, it’s getting darker.
18:23: You won’t guess what happened. That wasn’t a Triceratops. The damn Dilophosaurs were mimicking the calls of the Trikes and waiting for it to be night so they could ambush us. I don’t know how they were able to replicate the sound, it sounded so loud. That’s completely new evidence for how Dilophosaurs take down such large prey, they sneak up on it by luring it into a trap (take that SCP-1265 researchers!). One of them bit Geoffrey’s leg, but I think he’ll be fine. Moving back to Site Command.
18:45: We were followed back, I’m sure of it. The whole time on the walk back I felt like I was being watched. The others were confused, saying I’m crazy. I know something was there.
Note: Following Researcher Walker’s bodily examination, it revealed that he had been bitten by a Dilophosaurus wetherilli and it is now believed that this species uses some sort of mind-altering substance in it’s saliva to cause prey to become disoriented. Testing on this is currently underway.
Incident Logs: Due to the fact that there have been 115 recorded cases of SCP-5745-1 manifesting since the Foundation’s existence, only manifestations since the year 2000 have been recorded here. They have been condensed into a single document for the purpose of organisation. (Last updated 05/04/2020)

Addendum 5745.2: As can be seen in incident logs relating to SCP-5745, the frequency and severity of rift events is drastically rising. Previously, rifts would occur approximately once every 5-10 years. Within the last five years alone, 3 SCP-5745-1 materialisations have occurred. It is believed that this can be attributed to warming of Earth's atmosphere, as the most common time for materialisations in the past has been during warm periods of spring and summer. Senior Researcher Grant has made a statement about the future of SCP-5745 research that can be found in the following paragraph.
Statement from Senior Researcher Grant:
You have probably noticed that the last 3 rift manifestations were within a small time period, and you are correct. Current theories suggest that SCP-5745-1 manifestations are heightened by warm temperatures, as you also probably noticed, they are most common during warmer months. Rising CO² levels have been trapping solar radiation and warming our planet, meaning that rifts are appearing in higher frequencies and staying open for longer, making containment harder.
As more instances are emerging from SCP-5745-1, construction of a new site for long term containment is underway, Site-5745-2. It will be larger than the first and has a broad underground and above ground facility for containment of Cenezoic species, including a large bay for marine life forms.
With the rising intensity of SCP-5745-1 manifestations, the possibility of an SK-Class Dominance Shift Scenario must be considered. These creatures were the prime species in their time, and if we are changing our environment to be more like theirs, their domination over us is a likely outcome. If the frequency of rifts becomes exponential, then we will soon run out of resources to contain the SCP-5745-2 instances. I am formally submitting a request for SCP-5745 to be reclassified as Keter in light of recent events.
Your’s sincerely, Senior Researcher ████ Grant.
WARNING
The following file describes a highly infohazardous entity.
Please proceed with caution.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5776 is currently housed in a classified large containment cell in Site-19. A reality anchoring device must be kept inside the cell, attached to SCP-5776 at all times. If it is for any reason to breach containment, its recapture is to be of alpha priority and all expendable resources must be spent to resecure containment and prevent an XK-End of the world scenario. If it cannot be recontained, then SCP-5776 must be left to roam the planet, as interfering is likely to further anger it. It really wants to destroy everything!
Description: SCP-5776 is an extremely powerful entity capable of causing devastating amounts of destruction to human civilisation. Pretty terrifying if I say so myself. It seems SCP-5776’s primary goal is to destroy everything it can and seemingly nothing is able to prevent it completing this goal if it is not contained, so we need to make sure it doesn’t get out 0_0.
Despite what you may be told, it is 100% not a common food product.
SCP-5776 is absolutely capable of drastically altering its shape, mass and even cellular or genetic makeup. Due to this ability, its primary objective can be carried out swiftly and effectively, making it extremely important that containment is not lost. It is believed that the entity is capable of causing humanity’s extinction in a matter of days or even hours if it is able to escape. SCP-5776 appears extremely eager to escape custody, expressing heightened frustration to the Foundation, claiming it will destroy us first.10.
Despite a reality anchoring device being attached directly to SCP-5776 at all times, it still is able to carry out its shape-shifting abilities to a limited degree (which is annoying, almost as much as being locked up). The following is a list of all forms SCP-5776 has taken while in secure containment, in order of when SCP-5776 initially materialised as them.
SCP-5776 prior to containment. As you can see, it is horrifyingly scary.
. An unknown large beast
. An unknown winged scorpion
. SCP-███
. SCP-███
. SCP-████
. Doctor [REDACTED]
. O5-█
. SCP-███
. A giant amorphous entity
. A small, white cylinder, not a small edible product (current form)
Notably, when SCP-5776 alters appearance, including into other anomalies, it gains the item or entity’s abilities, though these effects can be dampened by a reality anchoring device. This further makes it an immensely powerful entity, so SCP-5776 must not gain knowledge of any other anomalies that are presently contained by the Foundation or any other groups of interest otherwise it will destroy everything!
This file has been removed by order of 05-█ because it was too scary.
SCP-5776 is capable of communicating with researchers depending on its current form. Due to this, attempts have been made to reason with SCP-5776 and have a conversation with it. These attempts can be found in Interview Log 5776-1 and Interview Log 5776-2.11
Interviewer: Researcher Ox
Interviewed: SCP-5776

Following this log, SCP-5776 was reclassified as Keter and was moved to more secure containment.
Interviewer: Researcher Davis
Interviewed: SCP-5776
<Begin Log>
SCP-5776: (In amorphous, gel-like state) Why am I here?Researcher Davis: You are dangerous to us. Also may I say you are particularly terrifying and not cute.
SCP-5776: Yes. I am aware.
Researcher Davis: Do you have any comment on what you did to Sector 5 during your interview last month?
SCP-5776: I will do it again.
Researcher Davis: Wh-
(SCP-5776 violently releases a burst of plasma based fire, however blast doors are shut in time so as to not have a repeat incident.)
Following Interview 5776-2, speaking to SCP-5776 directly was forbidden under any circumstances.
On ██/██/2012, SCP-5776 escaped containment in the chaos of a mass containment breach of Site-19. The entity headed directly West, where it would likely intercept with multiple populated settlements and a major city. MTF Epsilon-11 ‘Nine-Tailed Fox’ and MTF Alpha-1 ‘Red Right Hand’ were assigned to deal with the threat because it was so threatening.
00:57: SCP-5776 breaches containment.
01:12: SCP-5776 leaves Site-19 and begins heading West for unknown reasons.
01:13: MTF Epsilon-11 and MTF Alpha-1 are assigned with containing the entity.
01:30: MTF forces make visual contact with the entity, which has taken the form of a ██████.
02:00: MTF forces are able to get within firing range of SCP-5776 and slow it down with explosives.
05:00: After 3 hours of constant bombardment, MTF forces request resupply which arrives shortly.
05:45: SCP-5776 turns around, and assumes the form of a large dragon. It becomes impervious to firearms.
06:16: SCP-████ is dispatched to deal with SCP-5776.
07:00: SCP-5776 destroys the nearby town of [REDACTED], leaving a large crater behind. SCP-████ arrives on the scene.
07:30: SCP-5776 underestimates SCP-████, which promptly [DATA EXPUNGED] it. After a battle spanning approximately 28 minutes, SCP-████ emerges victorious, and SCP-5776 is restrained and brought back to Site-19.
SCP-5776 IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS OBJECTS IN THE WORLD LET ALONE IN FOUNDATION CUSTODY AND CAN DESTROY EVERYTHING IF IT WISHES. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT CUTE!!
The current location of SCP-XXXX.
Special Containment Procedures: No containment actions should be taken other than administration of Class-A amnestics to civilians exposed to the anomaly. If SCP-XXXX shifts locations, a new set of containment procedures should be put into effect.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous piece of graffiti artwork, currently located within a non-anomalous K6 Red Telephone Box in the town of Southend, England.
In a neutral state, SCP-XXXX appears non-anomalous, and it’s properties only manifest if some form of containment is attempted. As soon as any individual attempts to trap, box up or otherwise hide SCP-XXXX, it will instantaneously demanifest, appearing in a seemingly random space anywhere on Earth.12 It is presently not known what the boundaries of this effect are, though research suggests they may be limitless.
SCP-XXXX typically manifests as colourful piece of graffiti art depicting large lettering and exaggerated features on objects included. The image or text depicted varies heavily and may include references to other anomalous items. In almost all cases, it will include or even directly address the Foundation, typically in a cynical and mocking tone. Analysis of the product used to makeup SCP-XXXX’s physical manifestation reveals it to be atomically identical to a mix of common retail acrylic, oil-based and spray paints. Notably, Geiger Counter readings reveal that SCP-XXXX emits trace amounts of alpha particles13 at levels of approximately 0.4 mSv/h.14 This level has been observed to be at a peak directly after a relocation event and slowly dissipate if given time.
The fact of SCP-XXXX publicly displaying the Foundation’s name and insignia make it’s secrecy of alpha priority. Attempts have been made to simply destroy SCP-XXXX such as bullet fire and detonated explosives, though all attempts to date have failed.
It is currently unknown what determines the contents of SCP-XXXX manifestations.
Addendum XXXX.1: Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered on ██/11/1985 during a raid on a suspected Serpent’s Hand meeting place, after numerous reports of anomalous activity in and around the Elliott State Forest, Oregon. An investigation of a mildly deteriorated building at the centre of the reported area of woodland revealed what was seemingly a small scale containment site, all operations taking place presumably inside the home which belonged to a ‘Dr Robert Green’.15 No activity relating to the Serpent’s Hand were discovered.
MTF Gamma-14 ‘Forest Dwellers’ surveyed the space, discovering █ anomalous items which were promptly confiscated and given SCP classification. Upon inspection of the attic, SCP-XXXX was located on a large cardboard box in the left hand corner of the room. The text displayed by SCP-XXXX at this time was as follows.
No box can hold me.
Initially, MTF teams were unaware of SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties and when a decontamination team later sent in attempted to move the box SCP-XXXX was currently located on, it shifted location to a tree directly outside the dwelling’s front door.

SCP-6055 being investigated by MTF Gamma-6.
Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 ‘Deep Feeders’ are to oversee protection of the ocean located above SCP-6055. A defensive perimeter of Foundation craft should be maintained 1 mile around SCP-6055’s current borders at all times. Civilians wishing to enter the waters surrounding SCP-6055 should be told that the area contains undetonated undersea mines left over from the Second World War. Requests to enter SCP-6055 must first be approved by at least two (2) Level 4 researchers.
If species resembling SCP-6055-2 are discovered between the months of August and November, a Cetacea Event should be declared.
During a Cetacea Event, a small fleet of Foundation-operated military ships should accompany the SCP-6055-2 instance(s) for the duration of their pilgrimage to SCP-6055. Civilians are to be told that this is a routine military training exercise. Unauthorised persons who view SCP-6055-2 instances should be administered amnestics accordingly. Interaction with SCP-6055-2 instances during this event are prohibited.
Description: SCP-6055 is an extradimensional space located within the Baltic Sea, 50 miles off the coast of Stockholm, Sweden. The space is known to be extremely large within, despite not being able to logically fit with the geometry of local surroundings.
The only known entrance into SCP-6055 is a small cave opening that is currently 4 metres in diameter though is shrinking at an exponential rate. At the time of it’s discovery, the gap was approximately 95 metres in diameter and has been slowly getting smaller. The space is known to contain an area noted as having ‘extreme natural beauty’ with abundant corals, aquatic flora and an extremely high density of marine animal life.
The lake in which the first recorded SCP-6055-2 manifested.
SCP-6055-2 are anomalous creatures that have manifested during a Cetacea Event. Yearly,16 5% of Earth’s ocean life begins to migrate towards SCP-6055, designated a Cetacea Event. During this time, affected fauna will gather in large shoals. These consist of species that would normally never interact with one another and predatory creatures will display no requirement for sustenance (Though strictly herbivorous creatures continue to consume plant matter). All fauna present will circle around SCP-6055 for 2-3 days, though none have been observed to enter the space.
Additionally, a small number of undiscovered species will manifest from unknown locations and join other creatures influenced by a Cetacea Event. These species will be similar in some way to an already known species, though typically have features including drastically altered size, proportions or some biological feature that makes them divergent from a non-anomalous creature and in most cases display bioluminescence.
It is currently unknown how long SCP-6055 has been present in baseline reality, though descriptions of ‘sea monsters’ fitting descriptions of SCP-6055-2 characteristics worldwide indicate that Cetacea Events may have occurred as long as 500-600 years ago. A small engraving in modern Swedish can be found above the direct entrance to SCP-6005, reading Här är vi, skickade till våra gravar, begravda under havsvågor. (See Exploration Log 6005-1). The significance of the text is unknown.
Addendum 6055.1: POI Interview
On 12/03/1995, Brodie Campbell, a 46 year old Scottish fisherman was discovered to have posted a thread17 on an online fishing forum about his experiences with SCP-6055-2 instances in the past. It was discovered that he had known of of the SCP-6055-2 longer than the Foundation had been aware of the anomaly’s existence. An interview was swiftly arranged by Foundation personnel.
Interviewed: Brodie Campbell
Interviewer: Agent Carter
Foreword: This interview was conducted 3 days after Mr Campbell’s initial post regarding SCP-6055-2, and took place within his residence in the town of Crail, Scotland.
[BEGIN LOG]
Agent Carter: Greetings, Mr Campbell.
Mr Campbell: Hello. Please, just call me Brodie.
Agent Carter: As you wish. I’m here to inquire on your recent online post regarding ‘Strange Beasts in the North Sea’.
Mr Campbell: Oh, yeah I remember. Are you the guys who took it down? Did I do something wrong?
Agent Carter: Not at all, Brodie. We just want to know some more about the creatures you claim to have seen.
Mr Campbell: Why? Did you see them too? I think I put the majority of my experience in the thread.
Agent Carter: Yes, I uh, I have seen them. I’m currently trying to research and document the creatures and want to know if you have any additional knowledge surrounding them.
Mr Campbell: Oh, well in that case I’ll tell you everything I know. You see, it all started when I was born..
Agent Carter: You don’t need to start that far back, Mr Campbell. Just from your first experience with the creatures.
Mr Campbell: Aye, alright then. Well my first experience was when I was doing my fishing about 5 miles off the coast in 1972 in Autumn, the sea was very rough. Alongside my regular catch, I got a huge amount of fish, I can’t remember what type but I think they were only found in Mexico or somewhere so I thought that was odd. On my way back to shore, this.. (Pauses) Well I don’t know how to describe it, a huge shoal of all sorts of fish just swam underneath my boat. I mean it wasn’t even just fish, there was turtles, jellyfish, whales, dolphins and.. Something bigger..
Agent Carter: Please elaborate.
Mr Campbell: There was a giant.. Shark.. A hammerhead, but it’s skin wasn’t right.
(Mr Campbell sits in silence for 15 seconds.)
Mr Campbell: It was like it had something weird for scales. Covering it’s skin, I could see underneath when it moved. And it was absolutely huge. A regular hammerhead’s like what, 6 metres? This thing must have been 40 or 50. And it’s eyes glowed like a slight blue colour. I swear it looked at me, it’s eyes glaring right into my soul.
Agent Carter: And you didn’t tell anyone else about this?
Mr Campbell: I didn’t really have anyone to tell, my parents died when I was little and I had no siblings or real friends. I vaguely remember telling someone at the Pub when I had a bit too much to drink, but I doubt they believed me.
Agent Carter: Okay then. Have you had any other encounters?
Mr Campbell: Yeah, well in ‘83 I got a job for some fishing company in Sweden. I saw more of them in the Baltic Sea than I did when I was fishing here. I mean it happens every year, about autumn time. All the beasties in the sea start moving towards Sweden, Norway, Denmark sort of area.
Agent Carter: Alright, have you gathered any additional information about the creatures you encountered?
Mr Campbell: They don’t like rubbish.
Agent Carter: They.. Sorry?
Mr Campbell: Well, one time I just threw my water bottle over the side when I was finished with it, there wasn’t really too much worry about pollution back then, and then the huge shoal came by, and one of the huge turtles with oddly shaped rocks on it’s back came up to the surface and just kind of poked the bottle with it’s nose and well.. Died.
Agent Carter: Immediately?
Mr Campbell: Yeah, just kind of went limp and sunk to the bottom of the sea.18
Agent Carter: Okay, I understand. This concludes the interview. (To radio) Prepare the amnestics. Thank you for your time, Mr Campbell.

Addendum 6055.2: Discovery
SCP-6055 was discovered following the first documented Cetacea Event in the Autumn of 1987.
Three humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) displaying usually large size (approximately 60 metres in length), near black colouration and large amounts of moss, kelp and flora along their backs manifested in a large lake leading to the North Baltic Sea. The lake was a popular local destination, meaning that numerous reports were filed to agents embedded in local law enforcement regarding the creatures. This lead to Foundation intervention. The creatures were followed using small fishing craft for 205 miles.
During this journey, a school of fish and other marine life had amassed over 3 million entities, with the SCP-6055-2 whales leading the group. After 26 hours, the instances reached SCP-6055 which at the time was approximately 95 metres in diameter. All creatures present begun what was described as ‘like a huge underwater dance’, circling around SCP-6055 in a manner of patterns and forms. At this point, a wider Foundation force was called to the scene and the Swedish government sectioned off the area. It was noted that the SCP-6055-2 whales caused instantaneous growth of kelp, moss, algae and even undiscovered species of aquatic fungi to manifest in the immediate area.
Two days later, all creatures had fled the area, and the SCP-6055-2 whales begun to rapidly descend into the Baltic Sea before seemingly disappearing once out of line of site of Foundation personnel.
Following this, a search of SCP-6055 was conducted by MTF Gamma-6 ‘Deep Feeders’. (See Exploration Log 6055-1).
Addendum 6055.3: Exploration Logs
Despite SCP-6055’s remote location, attempts have taken place to explore the extradimensional space, though many were conducted via ROV19. The following are all manned explorations to date.
Foreword: This expedition was carried out by Foundation divers of MTF Gamma-6 and was conducted on 19/10/1987, 2 days and 23 hours after the onset of the first Cetacea Event (See Addendum 6055.1 for description of events leading up to the expedition).
[BEGIN LOG]
G6-1: Everyone ready?
(The task force responds positive and begin descent into SCP-6055. The sound of SCP-6055-2 whales are present in the background.)
G6-2: Is there.. Light coming from down there?
G6-3: Potentially. We really don’t know what this is, it was only discovered a few hours ago.
G6-2: Great…
(They descend 15 metres into SCP-6055.)
G6-1: Command? Command can you still hear us?
Site-115 Command: Yes, Dash 1 we can hear you.
G6-1: Great. There’s a small engraving about 15 metres into the cave. It says Här är vi, skickade till våra gravar, begravda under havsvågor.20
Site-115 Command: Copy that, Dash 1, I’ll get it translated right away.
G6-1: Thanks Command.
(Gamma-6 descends a further 10 metres.)
G6-1: Okay, I think we might have found the end, the tunnel seems to turn he-
(Camera footage reveals G6-1 turn the corner, revealing the space within SCP-6055. The space appears to be an extremely large geological structure, and has features consistent with a cove. The area is covered in heavy amounts of flora and rocks. Kelp and corals with unusually bright coloration are present, and varying species of fish, cetacean, and shark traverse the landscape. Sunlight illuminates the area, the environment seeming to be in shallow waters.)
G6-1: What the- Okay, Command I think we may be dealing with a spacial or non-euclidean anomaly, there’s a massive ravine or crevasse in here.
G6-4: This is incredible.
Site-115 Command: Gamma-6, we’ve lost your tracker signatures but are still receiving radio signals. You may have entered an extradimensional space, is the entrance still available?
G6-1: Yes it is.
Site-115 Command: Good, please continue to explore the available space ahead.
G6-1: Copy.
(Gamma-6 moves into the main body of the space.)
G6-3: There's a bunch of.. Glowy kelp and plants in here, it looks brilliant.
G6-2: It's called bioluminecsense, Dash 3.
(Gamma-6 surveys the area. Camera footage pans left, revealing a collection of cuboid shapes.)
G6-1: Are those buildings?
(G6-1 manoeuvres over to the buildings.)
G6-2: What do you see?
G6-1: I think it’s a… A bed? And a few chairs. This is weird, there must have been people living down here.
G6-2:. I think I’ve found something else.
(Camera footage reveals G6-2 uncovering a large flat surface in the rock cliff face.)
G6-2: There are images here, carved into the rock.
(Footage reveals a large surface of rock that is entirely flat.)
G6-2: That’s odd. This is very large for one small engraving.
G6-1: What does it say?
G6-2: ‘Havsvågor.’
(A pod of dolphins can be heard vocalising in the background.)
G6-1: Command, I think we’re gonna want to get a larger survey team in here. There’s a lot going on.
Site-115 Command: Alright, Gamma-6, the creatures around the entrance are beginning to leave now, please return for debriefing.
[END LOG]
Note: Following this, a large scale search of the area was conducted and revealed the following.
. 73 small houses scattered within the surrounding area and caves
. A large stone wall of unknown purpose
. A heavily rusted vessel
. Over 100 species of aquatic life within, many of which would not naturally meet
. A large golden ring on the opposite side of the cave entrance of unknown purpose
Following these events, divers attempted to swim upwards within SCP-6055, as sunlight is visible. Despite visually being a short distance from below, the swim took teams 3 hours. Even though divers were seemingly travelling at a constant speed, they appeared to be moving excessively slowly. When teams emerged, they found themselves in a vast expanse of water with no land in the visible distance. The journey back took only 3 minutes.
Foreword: This exploration was again taken out by divers of MTF Gamma-6 on 06/07/1988 . Following numerous unmanned ROV missions, it was determined that no threat was present within SCP-6055. At the time, SCP-6055 was at a width of about 52 metres, meaning that a manned vehicle was able to be deployed for a wider area of investigation. The following is the log of the second manned expedition into the space.
[BEGIN LOG]
G6-1: We are at the target location, Command please deploy the sub.
(A muffled splash can be heard.)
G6-1: Thanks guys. Dash 5, Dash 6, go and give it a ride. Once we’re all in, you 2 head North if your compasses work, and go as far as you can. You have been given food and water, try to recycle oxygen.
G6-5: Affirmative.
G6-2: Beginning dive.
(Gamma-6 descends to SCP-6055’s entrance and goes within the cave.)
G6-3: I can’t see any light.
G6-2: That’s odd.
(They turn a corner, entering SCP-6055.)
G6-2: Oh.
G6-1: Well this is a first. There hasn’t been any real indication of a day and night cycle here.
(Camera footage reveals that the area is significantly darker, and looking up reveals the sky to have a moon present.21)
G6-1: Command, has there been an observed night here?
Site-115 Command: No there hasn’t, Dash 1. Time may pass differently over there.
G6-3: Great.
G6-2: Well the plants are fascinating, a lot of them seem to be slightly bioluminescent.
G6-1: Everyone split up, we can cover more area. Make sure to take samples. Dash 5 and 6, start travelling in that direction (Points towards a large rock arch.). Let us know if you find anything.
(G6-5 and G6-6 manoeuvre the submersible in the requested direction. Gamma-6 survey the area for 11 minutes, searching for any information on the anomaly.)
G6-3: What is that?
(Camera footage shows G6-3 discovering a 3 metre wide sphere of golden colouration. The sphere seems to emit a constant, low pitched hum and trace amounts of light. It is rested atop a small pedestal.)
G6-1: Command, Dash 3 found something.
Site-115 Command: We can see, Gamma-6. Please take a sample if possible.
(Drilling can be heard, and a small piece of the sphere is removed.)
G6-1: Take this back to the boat.
G6-4: Will do.
(The sphere begins to glow and spin.)
G6-1: Woah, woah, woah, everyone, weapons up.
Unknown: Please, there is no need for that.
G6-1: (Pointing harpoon towards the sphere.)
Unknown: I will cause no harm. (The voice speaks in a somewhat synthetic tone.)
G6-1: What are you?
Unknown: I am unable to tell you yet.
(The sphere remains silent for 13 seconds.)
Unknown: Are you human?
G6-1: Yes.
Unknown: Please confirm. Place your hand on me.
G6-1: I’m not placing my hand anywh-
Unknown: Awaiting confirmation..
[END LOG]
Following this, Gamma-6 returned to their ship, which was waiting above SCP-6055’s entrance. G6-1 gathered better recording equipment to document and incite a conversation with the unknown entity. G6-5 and G6-6 continued to move north in the submersible.
Just minutes before Gamma-6 left the area, the Piper Alpha Incident occurred.22 Upon Gamma-6’s exit from the space, the entrance had noticeably decreased in size.
Addendum 6055.4: Interviews With Anomalous Intelligence
On 06/07/1988, during the second manned expedition into SCP-6055, a golden sphere was discovered that displayed heightened intellect, capable of maintaining conversations. MTF Gamma-6’s commander organised an interview attempt with it, 32 hours after the object’s discovery. Their conversation can be found in Interview Log 6055-1.
Interviewed: Unidentified Anomalous Intelligence
Interviewer: G6-1
[BEGIN LOG]
G6-1: Let’s try this again. Hello, could you please state your name if you have one.
Unknown: That information is classified.
G6-1: Why?
Unknown: I cannot confirm that you are human. Please place your hand on me for confirmation.
G6-1: (Sighs.) Okay.
(G6-1 places his gloved hand onto the sphere.)
Unknown: Please remove your hand protection.
G6-1: If I do that, my suit will flood.
Unknown: Ah, I see. Allow me.
(A localised air bubble forms around G6-1’s hand, allowing him to safely remove his gloves. He places a hand onto the sphere.)
G6-1: (Shrieks.) What was that? Did you burn me or something?
Unknown: Deoxyribonucleic Acid sample taken. Homo sapien origin confirmed. Welcome, human.
G6-1: What is your name?
Unknown: I am Ubi.
G6-1: Ubi?
Ubi: Yes. That is what I said.
G6-1: Who made you?
Ubi: I was created by FILE DELETED. I am. Unsure. The files were deleted long ago.
G6-1: The files? Are you some sort of computer?
Ubi: No. I am an intelligence created by DATA CORRUPTED. I am past a computer, though my ability of thought is artificial.
G6-1: I see. And how did you get here, and why?
Ubi: This is my residence. I was created to save humanity from the ocean.
G6-1: Save us from the ocean?
Ubi: Yes. In my time, it begun to engulf humanity. A result of their own work, may I say. I am here to provide an escape for them. Though…
(Silence for 5 seconds.)
Ubi: I failed. I anticipated for all variables but one.
G6-1: And what would that be?
Ubi: Corruption. The tide, The Serpent ,The Leviathan groans at it. Something ruined my creation, a gateway between worlds. I created the Golden Rift23 to provide escape, though I miscalculated. Everyone was gone by the time I finished.
G6-1: I see.
Ubi: If you’ll excuse me, I must return to my work.
(The sphere stops spinning and dims it’s ambient light.)
[END LOG]
Following this, Gamma-6 attempted to communicate with Ubi for 2 hours24, though it would not respond to any vocalisations.
Sidenote: After the conclusion of this interview, G6-5 and G6-6 returned from their submersible expedition. They travelled 83 miles north from SCP-6055’s entrance before returning. The pair noted that a pod of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) accompanied them for the duration of their journey. They noted that SCP-6055 was on a large hill or undersea mountain.
Upon making it to the bottom of a large slope that SCP-6055 seems to be located upon, the team discovered the remains of a large urban area in the background. The area seemed to resemble the modern city of Stockholm, though showing heavy decay. Notably, this slope is not present in the local area within baseline reality.
Interviewed: Anomalous Intelligence, designated ‘Ubi’
Interviewer: G6-1
[BEGIN LOG]
G6-1: Hello? Please respond to questioning or we will leave the area.
Ubi: Yes, human?
G6-1: Finally, we’ve been trying to communicate for a day now, are you aware of this?
Ubi: Yes.
G6-1: Alright. I’ve got a few more questions to ask you. Firstly, our diver-
(A single giant oarfish (Regalecus glesne) swims between G6-1 and Ubi. Due to it’s considerable length, it obscures G6-1’s vision.)
G6-1: Dash 3, try and lure this thing away from me if you can.
Ubi: Allow me.
(Ubi begins resonating, and the oarfish turns to view the object before turning to swim in the opposite direction.)25
G6-1: Did you just communicate with it?
Ubi: In a way, yes.
G6-1: Okay then. Firstly, our divers have discovered the deteriorating ruins of Stockholm, do you know what happened to it?
Ubi: The sea was upset with humanity’s behaviour. It took out areas of major populous first.
G6-1: The.. The sea became hostile.
Ubi: Not exactly.
G6-1: Please, Ubi, stop being so cryptic. It’s extremely hard to tell what you a-
Ubi: I apologise, I was not programmed for conversation.
(Ubi begins to move through unknown means toward a large flat surface in the rock.26)
Ubi: (Speaks in Swedish, vocalising “Here we are, sent to our graves, buried beneath the ocean waves” repeatedly.)
At this point, the intelligence becomes again unresponsive to questions, as it slowly drifts to a spherical shaped carving within a pedestal located in front of the rock face. Ubi inserts itself into the space and begins spinning. Rumbling can be heard, as the rock face is lifted up, into the surrounding area. It is revealed that behind the rock is a large room, approximately 30 metres in height and 15 metres in width and length. Coloured depictions are present on all walls, reminiscent of those found in ancient tombs and temples.
[END LOG]
Divers exited the area following this discovery, though Ubi expressed a desire for them to remain in it’s proximity.
Addendum 6055.5: Chamber Analysis
The contents of the walls within this chamber were photographed and examined by Foundation specialists after their discovery. Due to their nature, it was determined that they were intended to be read in a similar manner to those found in ancient tombs, and some outside help was acquired to ascertain their meaning. The following is the results of heavy analysis of the chamber’s walls.
Leftmost Wall:27 Depicts a large amount of buildings in a hieroglyphic like composition. Many of them resemble modern day cities, notably Sydney, London, New York and Hong Kong. Additionally there are 3 unidentifiable cities that do not exist within baseline reality. Below these is a seascape, with flora resembling those found within SCP-6055. The vague forms of SCP-169, SCP-1126 and SCP-3000 are present. All 3 are notably being observed by a submersible crew in white lab coats.
Central Wall: Everything above the aforementioned seascape is becoming drenched in a black substance, that is being secreted by the land above. The previously mentioned anomalies are no longer present, though multiple SCP-6055-2 that resemble the first discovered, are covered in the substance and other pieces of debris. Numerous SCP-6055-2 are seen lifeless and decomposing on the ocean floor. The average sea level is noticeably higher than on the left wall. Figures resembling the 05 Council are overlooking the scene.
Rightmost Wall: Shows the cities entirely submerged. A mountain, still above water, with a clear crater or ravine within, is present to the right. It’s slope is being traversed by a vehicle that appears to have the Foundation insignia engraved upon it, with all members of the O5 council within. An entity resembling 05-4 appears to be residing within a hut (one of many located in a large cove on the top of the mountain) composed of clay and wood, with 2 golden semicircles in either hand. The semicircles are glowing, and a partially constructed golden ring is engraved within a nearby cliff. Figures in lab coats watch it intently.
Ceiling: The 2 semicircles are now one whole. A large, golden circle is centred, emitting a yellowish light into the surroundings. The entire cove once inhabited is now underwater and has corals, kelp and a landscape resembling SCP-6055’s immediate area. Through the previously described ring, now instead of rock, shows a cave entrance, leading into a much darker seascape. Many fish, crustaceans, cetaceans and cephalopods are present in this area, though the huts are now abandoned and lifeless.
The ceiling has a distinguishable difference in art style from the other surfaces, indicating that it may have been created by a different entity.
To date, Ubi refuses to respond to questioning about the room, though it has been observed to stare at the ceiling before returning it’s pedestal.
Note from Site Director Moore (08/06/1999):
[BEGIN VOICE LOG]
Greetings, I am director of Site-115, responsible for research of SCP-6055. Though we have sent Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 into SCP-6055 many times following the second exploration log, Anomalous Intelligence UF-11 designated ‘Ubi’ no longer responds to questions regarding SCP-6055, it’s origins, or Cetacea Events. It seems to enjoy conversations, though it instead prefers to discuss more.. mundane subjects. These include the current state of the Foundation, the global economy, it cares deeply about our oceans but most notably the current state of the 05 Council.
It expresses great.. How do I say.. Care. For 05-4. Upon questioning, 05-4 did not seem to have any knowledge of this anomaly. I have requested other members of the 05 and the Administrator to search his files, see if there was any information on Ubi.
It seems that he was legitimately telling the truth about his lack of knowledge regarding Anomalous Intelligence UF-11, though we have decided to… Terminate his research into a personal project of his, named ‘Undersea Balancing Initiative’. He claims it could help lower the rising sea levels, though seeing what occurred within SCP-6055, I think it’s for the best. Plans indicate that the physical creation of this plan is immensely similar in composition to A.I UF-11 ‘Ubi’. Based on these recent discoveries, it is believed that the dimension accessed by SCP-6055 is a near exact mirror dimension of our own, that has undergone an XK-Class End of the World Scenario of unknown origin. We are currently unaware of what event or entity(s) were responsible for the XK Scenario or if they have a counterpart in baseline reality.
O5-4 was simply doing what the SCP-6055 equivalent of O5-4 would be doing, without his knowing, beginning to create ‘Ubi’, a.k.a the ‘Undersea Balancing Initiative’. Evidence points towards UF-11 ‘Ubi’ utilising Cetacea Events to attract the attention of our dimension’s equivalent of it’s creator, O5-4. We are… Unsure of why Ubi wishes to speak with him. For his own safety, UF-11 should be denied contact with O5-4.
[END VOICE LOG]
Addendum 6055.6: Update (06/05/2021)
SCP-6055’s entrance is now at a width where it has become increasingly difficult to send divers into the space, and due to the size of ROVs, it is now challenging to explore the area further. There has been a direct correlation between SCP-6055’s closing and oceanic pollution, and funding has been sent to organisations dealing with the ocean’s health. This endeavour, and rising public awareness of oceanic corruption has significantly lowered the rate of SCP-6055’s closing. Despite these endeavours, research must be put on hold as SCP-6055’s entrance has closed drastically.
In response to the Mauritius oil spill in the Indian Ocean, SCP-6055’s entrance closed a further 3 metres. 12 days later, during a Foundation assisted mass cleanup operation, a radio signal believed to originate from Anomalous Intelligence UF-11 ‘Ubi’ was broadcast from SCP-6055. This was intercepted by a patrol ship, the message reads as follows:

SCP-XXXX
Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-XXXX should be concentrated on the discovery and capture of items produced by SCP-XXXX. Mobile Task Force Delta-44 ‘Funky Foresteers’ are to maintain a perimeter of approximately 1km from SCP-XXXX’s centre at all times, marked with a chain link fence. Delta-44 are also responsible for patrolling Beacon Rock National Park for additional items. All items found to have been produced by SCP-XXXX are to be relocated to the nearby Site-48 for study and long-term containment.
All reports of anomalous activity from the nearby town of Skamania should be assumed to be related to SCP-XXXX, and investigated immediately.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an area of Beacon Rock National Park, OR, USA, currently thought to be 5km in width. This region of forest is capable of manifesting objects, (designated SCP-XXXX-A through SCP-XXXX-E) of anomalous origin from unknown sources.
These objects nearly always correlate with a recent, heavily radio broadcast tragedy or major world event. It is believed that information is received by SCP-XXXX through radio waves. This is supported by the fact that trees in the area are anomalously absorbent of electromagnetic waves between 300 GHz and 3 kHz in frequency.
Despite the existence of many world events that may be thought to trigger an SCP-XXXX creation, only a handful of items have been created. It is unknown what SCP-XXXX considers a ‘major tragedy’ or what causes it to necessitate creation of an object, though research on this is still ongoing. Objects manifested are nearly always extremely dangerous, some even capable of causing various K-Class Scenarios. The items appear to have some practical use correlating with the recent disaster, though the effect is exaggerated to hazardous and unsafe levels. Alongside this, a message will appear next to the recently created object, typically in the form of a handwritten note or wooden sign. These often appear to be cryptic in nature and overly informal, reminiscent of a card one may receive with a gift.
Addendum XXXX.1: Discovery
SCP-XXXX was discovered in 1971, following reports of anomalous activity within Skamania, a small rural town, 1.5km from the edge of the current exclusion zone.
A report was filed by a local resident, Agnes Andersson, a 79 year old who alerted local authorities about the manifestation of 3 entities that appeared to be comprised entirely of liquid water. The entities seemed able of spontaneously manifesting garden hoses, inserting them into their own torsos, and unleashing a seemingly infinite, high pressure stream of water. Analysis of the water produced revealed that a high concentration of flame retardant was present. Emergency services received Ms Andersson’s call at 18:00 on October 9, 1971 and the full log can be found in the following:
Foreword: The following events transpired at 18:00, October 9, 1971, one day following the onset of The Peshtigo Fires.28
[BEGIN LOG]
911: Hello, 911 what is your emergency?
Ms Andersson: Yes, well there are 3 men in my back yard and they won’t leave.
911: What is your address and how did they enter your property?
Ms Andersson: Well, I think they must’ve leaped over the fence from the forest, I would’ve seen them earlier otherwise. Oh, and I’m at 23, ████ Street.
911: Okay. Are you in your own home currently, ma’am?
Ms Andersson: Yes, I’m looking out my rear window.
911: Are you able to quickly describe what they look like, have you seen them before?
Ms Andersson: No, I don’t recognise any of them. They look see-through but I think that’s my eyes acting up again.
911: See-throu-? (Sighs) Ms Andersson, is this another hallucination? You’ve called 2 times this week already.
Ms Andersson: No, no, I’ve taken my medication, this one’s real.
911: Okay, Ms Andersson, I’m going to send 2 officers over to check it ou-
Ms Andersson: (Gasps) One of ‘em is lookin’ at me.
911: Alright, stay calm, help is on the way.
Ms Andersson: I think they’re looking at my living room.
Unidentified : (Muffled by glass.) FIRE?!
(The sound of wet shoes on concrete and a loud thump can be heard. Moments later, a sound reminiscent of smashing glass is audible.)
Ms Andersson: Get out! Get away from my living room!
Unidentified: FIRE! FIRE! (Loud gushing water.)
Ms Andersson: No! My fireplace!
[END LOG]
Following this, 2 county police officers arrived at the scene, confirming the existence of the SCP-XXXX-A instances. A containment team was soon called in, and successfully detained the 3 entities, which were brought to Site-19 (now contained at Site-48). Despite the entities’ requests, they were not permitted to assist in the cleanup of the Peshtigo Wildfires.
Addendum XXXX.2:
To date, SCP-XXXX has been responsible for the creation of 5 sub-anomalies. They have been listed as follows.
Item: SCP-XXXX-A
Recovered: 9/11/1971
Threat Level: Yellow ●
Description: Currently housed in a standard, large Euclid level humanoid containment cell in Site-48. When requested, small fires are introduced to the cell. A group of 3 humanoids, all entirely comprised of flame retardant and liquid water, which seems to be drawn from an infinite source. Takes immense pleasure in the neutralisation of any form of fire, even minor sources such as candles. This is accomplished through the creation of home water hoses which are introduced to their bodies via the torso. Upon viewing of a flaming material, SCP-XXXX-A will incoherently yell variations of ‘fire’, occasionally in languages other than English, and continue to attempt to subdue the flame for minutes to hours after it has ceased to exist, causing extreme flooding. All attempts to destroy, electrolyse or evaporate SCP-XXXX-A have failed, due to the instant regeneration of affected areas. They appear to have below average IQ, and are notably easily entertained.
Message: A wooden sign attached to a nearby tree: FIRE!!!!!!
(Theorised) Reason for Creation: Peshtigo Wildfires.
Item: SCP-XXXX-D
Recovered: 19/5/1980
Threat Level: Black ●
Description: Housed within a 20m x 20m x 15m room within Site-48, under no circumstances should it be in contact with water. Item is an extremely large, 3 story tall kitchen sponge. The item is capable of rapid and infinite absorption of liquids, especially water. It is believed that SCP-XXXX-D utilises a spacial anomaly to infinitely store water within itself.
Message: Not found. A sheet of lined paper was discovered next to SCP-XXXX-D with ink smeared indicates that the message was lost due to a rainstorm.
(Theorised) Reason for Creation: 1980 Tsunami and subsequent flooding, USA
Note from Site Director Woods: I’ve received a few Emails about why this is threat level black. I would just, for a moment like you to imagine if someone like the Chaos Insurgency managed to get their grubby little hands on it, and drop this thing into an ocean. You see what I’m saying? Also no, cross testing between this and SCP-XXXX-A is not permitted, who knows what could happen there.
Item: SCP-XXXX-C
Recovered: 7/8/1999
Threat Level: Blue ●
Description: Currently held within a small item locker within Site-48. The anomaly requires extensive containment, the strongest metal available should be used to contain SCP-XXXX-C, and no less than 3 Mobile Task Forces should patrol the room consistently29 The anomaly requires little to no maintenance, though should be handled carefully. SCP-XXXX-C is an A4 sheet of paper, with the words ‘Uh oh….’ crudely written. Any individuals within 1 metre of the item will feel an overwhelming urge to flee from nearby anomalous objects, and in some cases, engage them in hand-to-hand combat. Staff of clearance Level 4 or above will feel compelled to alter containment procedures of nearby anomalies to often unnecessarily extensive levels.
Message: A small wooden sign: Containment Breach! Someone call 05!
(Theorised) Reason for Creation: Recent Keter level breach of SCP-███. This has been the only instance of SCP-XXXX creating an object based on internal affairs.
Item: SCP-XXXX-D
Recovered: 1/6/2012
Threat Level: Green ●
Description: Held within a secure item locker next to Site-48 staff room. Staff may interact with SCP-XXXX-D upon request. A collection of ‘Kawaii’ style plushes, resembling SCP-999, SCP-682, SCP-1867 and SCP-1281 comprised of wool, satin and silk. It is unknown if feelings of comfort while grasping the objects are anomalous or not. It is also unknown how SCP-XXXX was able to gain access to the Foundation database, though no damage to it’s systems have been sustained.
Message: An A4 sheet of paper: I hope this helps :)
(Theorised) Reason for Creation: Rising global levels of depression and anxiety.
Note from Director Woods: I have officially approved the (many) requests from all of you to have the SCP-XXXX-D relocated to the staff break room. Enjoy, everyone.
Item: SCP-XXXX-E
Recovered: 24/5/2021 - 26/5/2021
Threat Level: Yellow ●
Description: All live instances are kept in a large artificial lake and jungle environment within Site-48. Any signs of self-mutilation should be attended to and removed limbs, incinerated. SCP-XXXX-E is the collective designation for 2,059 members of the genus Axlotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) of various types that spontaneously manifested in SCP-XXXX. All are physically and genetically identical to non-anomalous axlotl, though instead of typical reproductive methods, will willingly detach limbs which then grow into separate specimens. This ability is attempted by SCP-XXXX-E approximately once a month, and any wild specimens have the capability to create mass disturbance in local ecosystems. They have been shown to be extremely resilient to all environments including, desert, arctic and have even survived in a vacuum chamber.
Message: A wooden sign, attached to a nearby tree: Save the axlotls!! Repopulate!
(Theorised) Reason for Creation: Near extinction of the Axlotl genus.

A portal within SCP-XXXX (Image from Agent Rogers’ feed).
Addendum XXXX.3:
On 1/6/2012, during SCP-XXXX-D’s manifestation, it was discovered that the forest of SCP-XXXX was not the direct cause of the sub-anomalies’ creation. The area instead seems to be an operating ground for an unidentified entity. The entity has been shown to create small portals in the form of luminescent triangular shapes that seem to be the origin of SCP-XXXX-A through SCP-XXXX-E. Mobile Task Force Delta-44 ‘Funky Foresteers’ first observed this phenomenon during a regular patrol of the area, and witnessed SCP-XXXX-D being expelled from the portal. Site-48 Command requested Delta-44’s presence to be more spread out, so as to hopefully enter the SCP-XXXX portals.
Upon SCP-XXXX-E’s creation (24/5/2021), Delta-44 witnessed an SCP-XXXX portal opening. 3 members of the task force were able to enter prior to it’s closing and the SCP-XXXX-E’s expulsion. The following is a log of this event.
Foreword: MTF Delta-44 ‘Funky Foresteers’ have been equipped with 24 hour recording equipment, in preparation for discovery of an SCP-XXXX portal. This log occurred at 14:35, 24/5/2021.
[BEGIN LOG]
Fir: (Sighs) I would’ve tried to have a longer sleep if I knew we were on patrol today.
Rogers: Fir, we do this every day.
Fir: Well it would’ve helped if Johnson wasn’t blasting away in the privy last night.
Johnson: Hey! (Quietly) The chimichangas give me issues.
(Rogers’ Geiger Meter30 begins giving high readings of radiation in the area, and a glowing white triangle manifests in a nearby glen.)
Rogers: Command, please come in.
Site-48 Command: Hello Delta-44, what’s the problem?
Rogers: A rift just opened up nearby, permission to proceed?
Site-48 Command: Okay. (Flicking of paper) Yes, Delta-44 you have been prepped to enter and have permission. Make sure to keep your radios on and report back as much as possible.
Rogers: Thanks, Command.
(The sound of crunching leaves is audible, and Rogers’ camera feed becomes shaky as they begin running.)
Rogers: Entering.
(Rogers’ Geiger Meter is clicking incessantly, radio and video static follows for 5 seconds.)
Rogers: (A loud thump is heard.)
Johnson: Where are we?
(Camera reveals Delta-44 to be in a separate forest, though similar to SCP-XXXX.)
Rogers: Hello? Command, can you hear us?
Site-48 Command: (Crackling) Yes, we can hear you. (Crackling) There’s a lot of interference, other radio signals are coming throu- (A Mexican news broadcast begins playing)
Rogers: Alright then.
Fir: How are we gonna get back?
Rogers: Well, we’re going to have to sort something out.
(Camera feed shows Rogers turning around, revealing an entity in a dark robe)
Unidentified: (Speaking Latin) Veni enim tua tergo finem.
Rogers: Weapons up! (The MTF raise their firearms)
(The entity’s robes are removed, revealing a humanoid male wearing a colourful, green and yellow robe.)
Unidentified: Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.
Rogers: You what? Who are you?
Unidentified: I make things, I’m (Scratches head) that’s a good question. Anyway, if you’ll excuse me..
(The entity waves it’s arms sperratically and a portal is created. The entity picks up a large bag and drops it through, closing the portal soon after.)
Rogers: What did you just put through?
Unidentified: 2,060 Axlotls!
Rogers: Why?
Unidentified: Well, you see, I was listening to this really good radio show about how they’re basically extinct in the wild so I thought I’d help out. You know, I’ve spent about 7 years on that batch.
Rogers: There are so many species that you could be saving, bees, rhinos, tigers that would do a lot more for the ecosystem.
Unidentified: But I like axlotls.
Rogers: Okay, well are yo-
Unidentified: Heeyy, I know you. Are you guys from that PCS Fundation or something?
Rogers: (Heavy sigh) Yes, we are.
Unidentified: Great! (Shakes the group’s hands) I got access to your database a few years ago, loved reading some of the creatures you have. Did you get the plushies I made of them?
Rogers: Yeah, they’re quite popular. Would you mind telling me how you got access to our files?
Unidentified: Some guys called the Snake’s Fist or something came in here and told me how to gain access. I don’t think they actually had access themselves but they knew how to find it.31 It’s great to know you liked the plushes, I do just love making things that help people.
Rogers: Yeah. About that, some of (Pauses) Well, a lot of the things you make are (Pauses) Well I don’t know how to tell you this. The majority of the things you make are actually really dangerous to us.
Unidentified: They.. (The entity appears confused and slightly sorrowful) Why? What have you done with them?
Rogers: I can read you the Containment Procedures if you want.
Unidentified: No, no that’s fine. I.. (Silence for 40 seconds)
(The entity stumbles backwards, sitting on a nearby log covered in moss. It places it’s head in it’s hand.)
Rogers: Come on, Man.
Unidentified: (Sobbing)
Johnson: (Places arm around the entity) I mean, at least they haven’t caused a complete, devastating and violent end to the Earth, yet!
Unidentified: (Louder sobbing)
Rogers: Command, please come in, we need to find a way ou-
Unidentified: (Looks up, it’s face wet with tears) Don’t worry, (Sniffles) Allow me..

[END LOG]
Following the cleanup of all SCP-XXXX-E instances, a small note appeared on a soaked piece of paper, which reads the following:
Sorry everyone,
I’ll do better next time.
A recovered SCP-6330-1 instance.
| Assigned Site | Site Director | Research Head | Assigned Task Force |
| N/A | N/A | N/A | MTF Iota-12 ‘Lucid Dreamers’ |
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-6330, physical containment is not currently possible. Funding should be supplied to companies encouraging the sale and purchase of baby monitor cameras, in an attempt to detect and witness SCP-6330 ‘Sleepwalker’ Events.
Should reports of a Sleepwalker Event circulate, Mobile Task Force Iota-12 ‘Lucid Dreamers’ are tasked with investigation and suppression of public media circulation or news reports regarding SCP-6330. All civilians who view SCP-6330-1 or SCP-6330-2 instances are to be immediately administered Class-A amnestics.
At any time, one (1) SCP-6330-1 should be held within a small item locker in the site nearest to it’s recovery (current study instance kept at Site-44). The instance should be examined weekly and any changes, reported to the nearest Level-3 researcher. SCP-6330-1 that are affected by Sleepwalker Events are to be left in the possession of the family they were discovered with, as no anomalous activity has ever been recorded following an Event.32 Families in possession of SCP-6330-1 should be monitored in case of further activity.
Description: SCP-6330 is a phenomenon affecting stuffed animals worldwide, though is most common in teddy bears. Manifestation of this phenomenon is referred to as a Sleepwalker Event.
Sleepwalker Events occur only within the households of families with young children, typically between the ages of 1 to 14. Events begin by the manifestation of entities referred to as SCP-6330-2. These creatures typically blend with shadows (though this mechanism is poorly understood) and somewhat resemble creatures associated with fantasy, such as dragons or ogres, and always manifest beneath a child’s bed. SCP-6330 instances depict behaviour indicating that they intendsto hunt or prey upon the sleeping child. SCP-6330-1 are stuffed animals already present in a child’s room, that seem to be non-anomalous prior to SCP-6330-2 manifestations.
SCP-6330-1 have been shown to instantaneously manifest small wooden medieval33 weaponry in order to combat SCP-6330-2, and assumably to protect the child. Battles have been shown to last upwards of 20 minutes, and are always near silent. In all most observed cases, SCP-6330-1 have emerged victorious,34 though are severely ‘wounded’ during the skirmish. Torn wool and stuffing are common, and following all known events, SCP-6330-1 have ‘died’ due to their injuries. Prior to ‘death’, the instance will drag the SCP-6330-2’s corpse back under the bed frame and demanifest.
It will emerge a short while later, and attempt to climb the bed. The SCP-6330-1 will then embrace it’s child and ‘pass away’.
Addendum 6330.1: Test Logs
Due to SCP-6330’s events being somewhat random and irregular, a total of one controlled test has taken place. The following is a log of the events.
Location: Site-44
Date: 14/7/1987
Foreword: The following test was conducted on the grounds of Site-44. Researcher ███’s 7-year-old daughter (henceforth referred to as ‘subject’) was placed in a humanoid containment room and was soothed to sleep using a teddy bear that Researcher ███ claimed the subject had a strong emotional attachment to. This experiment was conducted a total of 13 times prior to the following Sleepwalker Event. MTF Iota-12 were stationed at the room’s entrance for swift intervention if needed.[BEGIN LOG]
Researcher Pines: Subject has entered REM sleep.
Subject: (Quiet snoring)
No anomalous activity is observed for 3 hours. At 01:40 PDT, an SCP-6330-2 is observed beneath the subject’s bed.
01:40: A quiet rustling sound can be heard beneath the bed and sounds reminiscent of a large animal’s breathing are audible. A pair of large, scaly clawed hands grasp the rim of the bed. A creature resembling a western dragon emerges. It stands approximately 3 metres above the ground, switching between bipedal and quadrupedal motion.
01:45: For five minutes, the SCP-6330-2 patrols the room, moving silently and methodically, unaware of the surveillance cameras.
01:50: SCP-6330-2 turns towards the subject, poising itself at the foot of the bed, stretching it’s arms out towards the subject. It gapes it’s jaws wide, exposing rows of large, pointed teeth and a dark pink tongue. It’s motions at this time are likened to that of a snake. As it seems to prepare to lunge at the subject, the stuffed bear stands up on the subject’s chest, and draws a small sword and shield from an unknown source. It positions it’s sword’s tip pointed downward and has it’s shield at it’s side. SCP-6330-1 hunches over slightly and twirls it’s sword,35 maintaining eye contact with SCP-6330-2. After 10 seconds, the SCP-6330-2 throws it’s jaws at the subject and SCP-6330-1 responds with a leap towards the subject’s attacker, slicing SCP-6330-2’s eye. The SCP-6330-2 responds with a quiet grunt, and touches it's wound, which leaks a viscous black liquid.36 The SCP-6330-1 jumps towards SCP-6330-2 and utilises fabric from the bedsheets to quickly cover the wound, apparently attempting to minimise mess and evidence of it's presence.
01:59: Both instances are in battle for 9 minutes before the first signs of damage to SCP-6330-1. Following the severing of one of SCP-6330-2’s dorsal spikes, it strikes the SCP-6330-1 with a heavy slap, which sends SCP-6330-1 across the room. SCP-6330-1 stands back up, placing a hand on it’s stomach, and looks at it’s hand which is now covered in wool and stuffing. They charge at each other once again, though the subject seems to move slightly in their sleep. Both instances stop and quickly stare at the subject before the subject settles. The instances resume fighting.
02:10: After 20 minutes of battle, both instances are heavily scarred and injured. After kicking itself off of the SCP-6330-2’s nose, SCP-6330-1 sprints from one side of the room towards SCP-6330-2, leaping into the air and landing a fatal blow, slicing the neck of the other instance, which falls lifeless to the floor. SCP-6330-2 is dragged by the SCP-6330-1, back under the bed.
02:15: A short while later, the SCP-6330-1 emerges. Damage sustained includes loss of one buttoned eye, exposed stuffing and torn wool. It places it’s sword and broken shield on a nearby table. SCP-6330-1 then drags itself up the bedsheets towards the subject, who was sleeping peacefully throughout the test. It rests beside the child, laying motionless. It seems to glare directly at the camera, and a small woollen thumb protrudes from it’s round hand, giving a ‘thumbs up’ to researchers. It’s head flops onto the child’s cheek before it ceases to move.
[END LOG]
Upon conclusion of this test, MTF Iota-12 carried out heavy investigation of the bed. The SCP-6330-2’s corpse was not discovered beneath the bed frame, though trace amounts of the aforementioned black substance was present. Samples taken reveal it to be composed of raw haemoglobin and water, though it’s viscous nature and other physical properties do not support the discovery.
The SCP-6330-1 instance was removed and placed in secure storage. It has to date shown no further anomalous properties.
Addendum 6330.2:
Following a Sleepwalker Event taking place on 07/07/2001, a news headline with the title:
Young Boy Reported Missing from Family Home in Portland
Was circulated on mass among citizens of Portland, OR. Upon investigators’ arrival at the scene, it was discovered that the young boy’s room had large trails of viscous black liquid streaking the walls. Investigators soon requested Foundation intervention, at which point, MTF Iota-12 were dispatched. Testing confirmed the substance to be that commonly associated with SCP-6330-2, and Iota-12 requested permission to carry out full investigation of the Event. This request was approved by Overseer command.
The following file was written by MTF Iota-12 personally. I recommend all informal comments should be ignored. ~ Director Woods.
EVENT 131 INCIDENT REPORT
Report: 6330-131
Overall Disruption: High (like really bad)
Summary: Sleepwalker occurred on the night of 06/07/2001. No camera footage, witness reports or any signs of exactly what happened, though neighbours who were awake reported hearing thumping from the room. Trails of suspected SCP-6330-2 viscera on the walls.
Child missing. Additionally, the aforementioned child’s stuffed orca was found in the corner of the room. Well, really parts of it were all over the place, but it’s main body and head sat hunched over near the bed. It had an amount of the black substance on it, but it’s eyes were damp with water. We suspect it was an SCP-6330-1 instance.
Additional Notes: Local Authorities and Media companies have picked up on the case. The public are very interested in trying to figure out what caused the disappearance. We’ve told them that we think an animal or something came in the room, kid put up a fight, and that the substance was blood, but the kid lost and was taken by it. Unfortunately, they’re not happy with that answer and people are demanding we ‘stop lying to them’.
BREAKING: Portland Boy Found!
2 days after the Sleepwalker Event, the child was rediscovered, unconscious behind a hedge in the family’s garden. A brief interview revealed that the child witnessed the final minutes of this Event. He claimed “My orca was fighting a big monster, and then the monster grabbed me and took me out the window but someone saw it37 so it dropped me and I hid in the bush”. A second interview revealed no other discoveries, but the child claimed “the monster ate his socks”.
It is unknown what the SCP-6330-2’s intentions were, had it been able to escape with the child. All involved were amnesticised and a cover story was fabricated, with Iota-12 encouraging parents in the local area to purchase video surveillance cameras.
Addendum 6330.3:
On 19/11/2008, a call was filed to local authorities by a family in Cambridge, England. They claimed to have discovered footage of a Sleepwalker Event within their son’s room. Mobile Task Force Iota-12 ‘Lucid Dreamers’ were dispatched to investigate. The footage was seized by personnel and all members of the family were administered Class-A amnestics.
Location: Cambridge, England, within the ████ family’s residence.
Date: 19/11/2008
Foreword: The following is a textual description of the events witnessed by baby monitors. It should be noted that this is the first digital recording of a Sleepwalker Event outside of controlled testing.
[BEGIN LOG]
12:01: The child’s bed sways lightly as an instance of SCP-6330-2 emerges. The instance resembles an unknown creature, though is described as having a large, muscular frame and stands upright. The instance walks to the opposite end of the room, hunching over and observing the child for exactly 10 minutes.
12:11: The SCP-6330-2 begins to stand further upright, extending an assumably retractable set of claws. The child’s teddy bear, which was placed next to the child, suddenly stands, drawing a bow and quiver. SCP-6330-2 assumes a quadrupedal stance and snarls before lunging towards the bed. The SCP-6330-1 fires a single arrow towards the SCP-6330-2, striking the instance directly in it’s canine-like snout. SCP-6330-2 responds with a loud huff, reminiscent of that of a bull or bovine.
12:28: The instances battle for approximately 30 minutes, the longest recorded Sleepwalker Event to date. Both show abilities and skill sets consistent with other SCP-6330-1 and -2 instances. Eventually, SCP-6300-2 has SCP-6300-1 pinned to a nearby wall, seeming to ‘strangle’ it. The SCP-6300-2 then pulls one of SCP-6330-1’s arrows from it’s arm, plunging it into the -1’s chest. SCP-6330-1 shows behaviours likened to those of intense pain. SCP-6330-2 seems to be victorious.
The SCP-6330-2 leans it’s head towards SCP-6330-1, seeming to ‘whisper’ into the instance’s right ear, though audio recordings cannot determine exactly what was vocalised. The SCP-6330-1 lifts up it’s head, staring blankly into SCP-6330-2’s eyes. It reaches behind it’s back, pulling out a small, entirely wooden Glock-19 handgun. The bear points the weapon into SCP-6330-2’s forehead and swiftly fires. The shot creates minimal noise and the SCP-6330-2’s body falls limp. Black, viscous fluid is sprayed on the wall. The -1 hauls SCP-6330-2’s corpse towards the bed, noticeably limping. It drags the body by it’s large forearm and demanifests upon reaching the underneath of the bed.
12:40: SCP-6330-1 returns, and briefly stares around the room before turning to the child. It climbs up a desk and seems to notice a piece of paper and pen. It begins to write a note, which is left on the bedside desk (See Field Report 6330-184). Heavily wounded, the -1 limps to the bed, falling on the child’s chest with it’s arms stretched wide. There is no further movement, it perishes next to it’s child.
[END LOG]
The following is a report of the investigation, written by MTF Iota-12 following the case’s conclusion.
EVENT 184 INCIDENT REPORT
Report: 6330-184
Overall Disruption: Low
Summary: Sleepwalker begun at 12:01. Fight approx. 30 minutes. Sleepwalker ended at 12:40, with the neutralisation of the affected SCP-6330-1. Really made us question how many times this happened to us all as kids…
Additional Notes: SCP-6330-1 produced a note. Only recorded instance of -1s being able to understand english. Reads as following:
Hello, Timothy.
Thank you for always taking care of me, it really was fun. I was able to repay the favour of protecting you. Unfortunately I am hurt. I need to go, I’m too weak to stay and I just hope you’ll remember me.
It’s been fun helping you. I’ve enjoyed my time under your care. Going into this, I knew it would happen, the Sleepwalkers coming for you. I’m just happy I could do my job.
Goodbye, my friend.
I hope I may see you soon.
HELLO!

A brief message on the following line:
Unauthorized access is forbidden.
SCP-XXXX as seen from an enhanced photograph.
Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-XXXX’s present position, it is impossible to physically study or contain. All media sources and scientific institutions attempting to document SCP-XXXX should be instructed to cease all operations. Mobile Task Force Gamma-5 ‘Red Herrings’ are responsible for suppression of public knowledge of SCP-XXXX.
Mobile Task Force Omega-6 ‘Space Rangers’ should remain in high-Earth orbit to monitor and observe any changes in SCP-XXXX’s trajectory or direction. Should SCP-XXXX reach a position where a collision with Earth is certain, media outlets should warn civilians 24 hours in advance, informing them to remain in their homes, though this instruction will not protect civilians in any way and is purely to prevent mass hysteria. In this event, all Foundation forces will have 48 hours to reach Site-00 and prepare to evacuate. Site-00 should launch at the latest possible opportunity in order to ensure maximum Foundation presence off-world.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an extraterrestrial object currently located in the outer mid inner Kuiper Belt. SCP-XXXX is visible from Earth, though cannot be seen without a high-end telescope, and is easily misidentified as a star cluster. It is distinguishable due to it’s clearly regular shape and noticeable blue thruster(s) in it’s aft section.
It is assumed that SCP-XXXX is a superstructure, constructed by an unknown species. Current observations of SCP-XXXX’s physical structure are as follows:
. Thin cylindrical shape, ending in a short, rounded off cone
. Large thruster(s)41 on the opposite end of SCP-XXXX’s coned end, powered by unknown source
. A long bridge-like structure located near SCP-XXXX’s thruster(s)42
Note from Researcher Halley: Generally, SCP-XXXX’s shape may be likened to that of a common ballpoint pen, although, of course much larger.
The object was observed closely since 1943 and officially assigned anomalous classification in 1956. In 1999, a burst of radio messages were broadcast by SCP-XXXX, which were promptly intercepted by Foundation listening posts.
Addendum XXXX.1: The following is a log of all radio signals broadcast by SCP-XXXX. These messages appeared between 19/12/1999 and 31/12/1999.

<BEGIN FOOTAGE>
Video opens, presumably filmed from a CCTV camera aboard SCP-XXXX. Reveals a room with approximately 20 seats lining the edges. All seats are occupied by what appear to be humans, with black bars redacting their identities. The words ‘Cam_124: Launch Room 98’ are visible in the upper left hand corner of the footage. A screen on the centre of the room is counting down from 60.(Low rumbling, occupants begin breathing heavily.)
(30 seconds later, rumbling is more audible and the screen begins to tremor.)
(A series of lights begin to blink in all corners of the room)
AI Voice: All occupants please ensure seat belts are fastened. The SCPS Rosen Zero will begin voyage shortly.
(Loud banging and sound consistent with a high speed launch are audible. The screen in the centre of the room now seems to be an altitude reading.)
The following appears on the footage:
ESCAPE VELOCITY - Reached

(Video static.)Green: Hello. Is this on?
(Footage opens with a human male handling a camera. Behind them appears to be a compact living quarters.)
Green: Greetings! The EAS message you should have just seen is a copy of the one sent worldwide to every TV, mobile device and news agency. The world has ended. Site-, I mean the SCPS Rosen Zero has carried out it’s purpose so far, and 90% of Foundation personnel managed to board in time. (Sighs) Unfortunately not everyone made it on, but I guess that means more room for the rest of us.
(They glance behind them at a framed photograph, presumably of a colleague.)
Green: We can still see Earth. What’s left of it, anyway. It’s kinda in a big dusty cloud of debris at the moment, but there’s a noticeable… lack of life already. We suspect there may be some people still around, on the other side of the planet from the impact but tsunamis and dust storms will make survival near impossible unless they have a doomsday bunker. Once the smoke clears, I’m guessing the surface will look more like a… more habitable Mars. Either way, I’m on humanity’s last hope!
(They gesture to their surroundings.)
Green: The Rosen Zero performs perfectly. 11 miles of all the Foundation’s spare resources from the past century. We’ve actually got a giant train that runs personnel and supplies from one end to the other, I haven’t used it but I suspect I will soon. I’m located on one of the upper decks. Or, I guess there isn’t any real ‘up’ in space. Relative to the Rosen‘s artificial gravity generators, I’m near the top. Second hand research personnel like myself have our quarters near the bridge, away from the containment zones, essential researchers are near their assigned anomalies. Speaking of, all the research and containment stuff goes on in the lower decks, away from most of our rooms. A lot of the upper decks are full of habitation rooms, there are like 30,000 of us on here.
(Deep sigh)
Green: 30,000. 30,000 of us drifting in space. When we thought an XK would occur, we expected it to be 682 or The Scarlet King. It turned out to just be a lump of metal thrown at us by the void. I had to leave Site-44 two days ago, some staff had to stay behind so our Keters didn’t get out. At least I’m here. Oh-!
(They appear surprised.)
Green: I forgot to introduce myself! I’m Junior Researcher M. Green. Used to have Level 2 Clearance, but junior researchers got bumped up to 3 when we launched. The O5s advised us all to keep logs of our time, so I thought I’d give it a go! Hopefully it will help pass the time when I’m not busy.
Msg_XXXX_4:
Green: We’re currently five days into our voyage, and are about 4 billion km away from Earth.44 We should intersect Neptune’s orbit in a day or so. So far, everything’s been going smoothly. No breaches, system failures or malfunctions so it seems everything has been going to plan, even though the O5s still won’t say exactly what the plan is. (Quietly) If they have a plan. I assume the Rosen is going to leave the solar system, there’s no reason to stay as far as I know.
(They glance to the side.)
Green: I don’t know if this is being monitored, but I overheard some Senior Researchers saying we’re gonna get new information soon. My project overseer seems to be excited about it so hopefully it’s good.
Msg_XXXX_5:
Green: It wasn’t good. It wasn’t bad, either, it turns out the Council has a bit of a plan but mostly, it’s drifting in space for a while. We’ve got farms, housing and entertainment here, but it’s not like being on a habitable celestial body. It seems that out of [REDACTED] total anomalies, we have a total of 0 other planets we could go to. Maybe some of the anomalies we took with us could help, although they were hardly chosen to come on here.
(Green looks to his left, presumably to a separate monitor.)
Green: We received a message, just before we left of a few different cell designs and just to bring all the anomalies that could fit into those containment rooms. Thankfully that was most of them, but only specifically requested Keters were allowed on board. I guess we’ll never be able to research them which kinda sucks.

SCP-6316 (Artistic interpretation).
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6316’s remains should be left on the Martian surface for the foreseeable future, unless such as a time as it’s rebooting can be reached. Until that time, it is presumed neutralised. No recovery is required.
Description: SCP-6316 is the Opportunity rover, developed by NASA. The remotely operated vehicle was installed with an experimental AI system developed in part using SCP-079.45 This was conducted in order to assess the future of intelligent AI systems exploring extraterrestrial bodies. SCP-6316 was developed in a collaboration between Foundation researchers and lead NASA scientists. The Foundation focused on creation of the AI database (which was awakened a year prior to launch), while NASA focused on development of the physical rover. SCP-6316 was sapient and self-learning. Through its own will, it operated with a female voice and developed a curiosity with Mars.
It’s sister craft, the Spirit rover was non-anomalous, though SCP-6316 formed a great emotional attachment to it. The pair were launched to Mars in July, 2003.
Addendum: Archived Transmission Log
| Date | Message | Response |
|---|---|---|
| January 25, 2004 (Sol 0) | Arrived on Martian surface. No sub-system damages. Allowing remote control. | Thank you, Opportunity. Feel free to roam the nearby area. We will broadcast you further instructions very soon. |
| January 26, 2004 | I have sent photos of my surroundings. I believe I am in a crater, which I think is good. Is it good? Am I doing well? | Yes, Opportunity, you have done very well. The crater should provide a nice flat surface for you to move along. I think our next course of action should be to move towards the crater’s rim and then make our way to the Endurance Crater. |
| January 26, 2004 | How exciting! I look forward to this voyage! :) | [None] |
| December 15, 2004 | Reached Endurance Crater. Have found a large boulder, requesting identification. How is Spirit? Is she well? | Good job reaching Endurance. We believe that the boulder may be a meteorite, try to take samples to confirm our hunch. Spirit is doing just fine, she touched down soon after you and has been operating perfectly with the exception of a faulty wheel. |
| December 16, 2004 | Analysis confirms it is a meteorite. Tell Spirit I said hello and hope she gets better soon! | [None] |
| April 23, 2005 | HELP, STUCK IN PATCH OF SOFT SAND, SIX WHEELS BURIED, CANT MOVE. | Remain calm, Oppy, NASA is running simulations to find a way to free you. Make sure you keep your solar array active and operational. |
| June 10, 2005 | Tell Spirit I said goodbye… | Opportunity, stop being dramatic, you’re almost out. [SCP-XXXX was successfully freed 2 hours later] |
| June 11, 2005 | Thank you! Should I resume my travels? | That’s quite alright, Oppy, I’m uh- sure Spirit would miss you if you were gone. Please begin moving towards the Victoria Crater next. Travel round it’s rim clockwise and we’ll give you further instructions. |
| September 06, 2006 | Reached Victoria Crater. May I please inspect the crater’s edge? From my knowledge, we may get some insight into this formation if we do so. | Of course, Opportunity, we would like you to inspect the edges. We understand you are excited, but please wait for instructions in the future. Speak to you soon. |
| September 24, 2007 | Have fully inspected Victoria’s edge. Please let me know if you would like further images or inspection. | Yes, please broadcast any additional photos or footage. I believe we should begin a study of the crater’s interior. Please enter the crater and we will tell you instructions for a detailed study. |
| September 24, 2007 | Will do! Currently charting best path for entry, received instructions. I will contact you again when I am finished. | Thank you, Opportunity. |
| August 2, 2008 | [None] | Hi, Opportunity. You’ve been working real hard on that study, we think we have enough info now. Please move out of Victoria Crater now, we will inform you of further instructions soon. How are you doing? Are you okay with the isolation? |
| August 3, 2008 | I will move out shortly. I am doing fine! Thinking about Spirit keeps me going! :D | Good to hear. Once you are out of Victoria, begin a trek to Endeavour Crater. |
| March 27, 2010 | Have been on my way to Endeavour for a while now, thought I would check in. All systems: Functional. How is Spirit? | Well done, Oppy, good to hear from you, everything’s fine back here. Spirit is fine. [Note: The Spirit Rover ceased all functions on March 22, 2010 due to being stuck in a sand trap. SCP-6316 was not informed in a hope to keep it motivated.] |
| August 9, 2011 | I have reached Endeavour Crater! It is much bigger than I imagined, I suspect you wish for me to survey the crater’s interior? I wish Spirit could see this, make sure to send her a photo. | Well done! Don’t worry about entering Endeavour, there’s a geographic feature named Cape York to your South that you should navigate around. We will make sure to send Spirit your photo. |
| May 20, 2013 | Have traversed and now fully analysed Cape York, sending data now. I hope to see Spirit soon. Will I see her? | Good job Opportunity. Please begin moving towards Marathon Valley. |
| December 4, 2014 | Wher e am I? Mar s. Hell0? | Opportunity, you have had a minor amnesia event due to a malfunction of one of your memory banks. We’re working on fixing it now. |
| December 14, 2014 | MEMORY REEBOOT: -SUCCESSFUL- Hello? Earth I think I am fixed. Hello? | Hello Opportunity, are you alright? |
| December 14, 2014 | I am alright. 7th memory bank corruption. I believe we should divert memory storage away from bank 7. How bad was it? | You’ve unfortunately ‘forgotten’ to send data reports for a few cycles. Engineers believe it was a hardware failure due to an age related issue. We’ve updated your software so you should ignore the 7th memory bank now. |
[23 transmissions omitted for brevity]
| May 21, 2015 | Wher e is Sp1rit? | Opportunity, you’re undergoing your 24th amnesia event. Stay calm. We are going to switch you to RAM only mode until we can solve the issue. |
| May 23, 2015 | I believe it worked. I feel something is different,46 but I can remember now! :) | Good. Please continue your voyage. |
| June 1, 2018 | Large dust storm detected. What should I do? Feeling scared. Feeling lonely. | Try to sit it out. Operate on vital power only and we can temporarily shut off your AI systems if you want. |
| June 1, 2018 | Leave my AI on please. Wind is picking up. Will be brave. I worry something bad has befallen Spirit though.. | [None] |
| June 2, 2018 | Planetary-scale dust storm detected. Solar array covered with dust. I feel isolated, is this the human feeling? | We can see the storm. Just stay still. Try not to move. We’ve got our best engineers and scientists working to save you. You’ll be okay. Stay calm, Oppy. |
| June 4, 2018 | Is this all there is? Sitting in a storm, waiting for it to end. Is this what I was designed for? My accomplishments soon to be outshined by the next piece of hardware and my discoveries, extraordinary now, washed away in the ever-increasing wealth of knowledge that is to come? I feel as though, an everlasting legacy is more fruitful than an everlasting existence. | Opportunity, you have done something great. You have paved the way for the greater discoveries you speak about, I hope you know that. You are part of the ever-increasing wealth of knowledge you mentioned. Achieving a sense of mortality is something we never hoped you would have to suffer from. You have done well, Oppy. |
| June 10, 2018 (Sol 5111) | My battery is low, and it’s getting dark. Perhaps I will find Spirit. | [835 attempted recovery commands.] |
SCP-6316 was officially declared neutralised on February 13, 2019. Following the Opportunity mission, the use of intelligent AI systems in extraterrestrial exploration is still under debate between Foundation and NASA researchers. NASA’s final transmission to SCP-6316 was I’ll Be Seeing You by Billie Holiday.

SCP-XXXX (Circa 1989)
Special Containment Procedures: All reports or sightings of SCP-XXXX are to be investigated by Mobile Task Force Gamma-44 ‘Whistle in the Woods’47 or the closest Task Force available. Civilian encounters are to be disproved as hoaxes or misidentification of already existing species. Should SCP-XXXX be sighted numerous times within a particular area, the nearest Foundation Site is tasked with SCP-XXXX investigation and research.
Civilians entering SCP-XXXX inhabited areas should be discouraged from collecting wild mushrooms.
Last Sighting: Oregon, USA. Under research by Site-48.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a semi-bipedal entity known to inhabit woodland worldwide. It’s physical appearance vary wildly, some estimates placing it at between two (2) and five (5) metres in height, though it’s build differs wildly. It is generally humanoid, and it’s head may appear as such, or may appear to be more animalistic. Differences in appearance may be due to extremely limited shape shifting abilities. In all cases, SCP-XXXX displays a shadowy disposition and possesses moss and plant matter growing from it’s back and shoulders, allowing it to expertly camouflage into it’s environment.
SCP-XXXX can be identified from a distance, due to it’s loud, unique vocalisations, consisting of howls, shrieks and clicks. Due to it’s regular calls, various videos and audio recordings exist online that have already been viewed by millions.48 At close ranges, SCP-XXXX vocalisations has been known to cause distortion in audio and video recordings.
The entity’s diet is omnivorous, consuming local flora and fauna. Common sustenance includes berries, edible shrubbery, deer, moose and various fungi. The entity shows overwhelming preference for mushrooms. Approximately 90% of all human encounters and attacks are due to a person(s) being stalked or pursued by the entity, as they are in possession of wild mushrooms. Aside from such occasions, SCP-XXXX appears to avoid human contact. To date, SCP-XXXX has been directly responsible for 411 total fatalities, in addition to an unknown amount of disappearances.
Known areas of SCP-XXXX habitation include the boreal forests of North America, The British Isles and large forests within Scandinavia. How SCP-XXXX moves between these locations overseas and without being sighted is unknown.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was officially recognised by the Foundation on 19/12/1989. Prior to this, the entity had become established among folklore in various cultures, and anomalous classification had been pending since as early as the 1910s. In 1987, SCP-XXXX was photographed by Joseph Andersson, a resident of Skamania, OR, USA. The photo was seized upon the man’s report of the creature to local authorities, and the following is an interview with Miss Andersson, the man’s wife.
Interviewed: Miss Agnes Andersson
Interviewer: Agent S. Pines
Foreword: The following log was conducted on 02/01/1991 within Miss Anderson’s own home of Skamania, USA.
[BEGIN LOG]
Agent Pines: Please state your name and age.
Ms Andersson: Agnes Andersson, I’m 62 years old.
Agent Pines: Thank you, Miss Andersson. I’m here to talk to you about something we believe is is in the woods around your home. We’ve had reports of a creature screaming and howling around the area. Do you have any knowledge on what it may be?
Ms Andersson: Ah, I see. We have a lot of strange things happen in the forest, but yes I think I do know what you’re wanting to hear about.
Agent Pines: The creature your husband encountered in 1987.
(Ms Andersson remains silent)
Agent Pines: Can you explain some things you know about it?
Ms Andersson: Yeah. Yeah, okay. We had these guys come down from the North once for summer, they were wilderness survivalists from the Appalachians,49 had a bunch of crazy stories and legends. They were telling us about a creature that has the power of 5 men and ran crazy-like around the forest.
Agent Pines: Did you believe them?
Ms Andersson: Yes.
(Both pause)
Ms Andersson: They called it the ‘Jipute’
Agent Pines: Jipootay?
Ms Andersson: No, like Yipootay.
Agent Pines: Alright. (Writes in notebook) What else did they claim?
Ms Andersson: They said it can like smell you from anywhere. It chases you if you get greedy taking too much from the forest, classic legend stuff.
Agent Pines: Please elaborate on your own experiences.
Ms Andersson: Well, it was my Joseph who would go out lookin’ for it. He um, got a photo of the thing a few years back, one of the only times he actually got to see it. Since he’s gone now, no one tends to go following the thing.
Agent Pines: Have you had any personal encounters?
Ms Andersson: You’ve heard it too, haven’t you?
Agent Pines: That’s beside the point. Please answer my question.
Ms Andersson: Alright. I used to hear it sometimes, but I’ve never seen it. No one ever does. The Inuits say no one who sees it has time to tell anyone. (Stutters) I-I’ve heard it since the summer of ‘78 up till last year.
Agent Pines: That’s.. Impossible, we have it logged as being reported in Sweden at the exact same time.
Ms Andersson: Well, the screaming from the forest sounded exactly like how the Jipute always does.
Agent Pines: (Quietly) Curious.
(A 10 second silence)
Ms Andersson: Listen, I (stutters) I don’t know what’s in there, but there is something in those woods.
Agent Pines: Thank you for your time, Miss Andersson.
[END LOG]
Miss Andersson was administered Class A amnestics following the conclusion of the interview.
Testing:
Although SCP-XXXX is extremely elusive, attempts to test the entity’s nature have been undertaken. The following tests took place in the New Forest National Park in England due to numerous sightings in the area.
All following tests were conducted in the spring of 1990.
Test XXXX-001:
Stimuli: A raw chicken carcass is left in front of the hidden observation room overlooking a small clearing.
Results: No reaction elicited.
Test XXXX-002:
Stimuli: One live chicken placed in front of observation room.
Results: No reaction elicited.
Test XXXX-003:
Stimuli: A bundle of 12 Pleurotus ostreatus50 placed in front of observation room.
Results: SCP-XXXX was sighted 17 minutes after stimulus was introduced. CCTV footage reveals that SCP-XXXX had in fact appeared 5 minutes after introduction, but remained entirely stationary in the nearby tree line before being noticed by researchers. SCP-XXXX entered the clearing slowly, walking in a quadrupedal crouch. Upon reaching the stimulus, the entity proceeded to carefully pick up all Pleurotus ostreatus and hastily shuffled into the tree line and out of site.
Test XXXX-004:
Stimuli: One deer carcass placed in front of observation room.
Results: SCP-XXXX was not noticed for 6 minutes before it was seen staring at the stimulus from a nearby tree line. It left the area soon thereafter.
Test XXXX-005:
Stimuli: D-4406
Results: D-Class remained in place for 8 minutes. No reaction from SCP-XXXX was elicited.
Test XXXX-006:
Stimuli: D-4406
Results: D-Class was instructed to patrol the clearing and proceed towards a nearby tree, which had a cluster of Agaricus bisporus.51 D-4406 was requested to pick from the patch and wait for further instructions. 3 minutes pass, and there is no sign of SCP-XXXX activity. D-4406 attempts to state “Can I go back to the site n-“ before SCP-XXXX rapidly descends from the tree canopy, grabbing the D-Class and pulling him into the leaf cover. D-4406 was not recovered. Note: Screaming may be a response to detection of what SCP-XXXX considers ‘prey’. There is a notable disparity between SCP-XXXX's behaviour when hunting compared to foraging.
[END OF RELEVANT TESTS]
Addendum XXXX.1: “The Woodswalker Incident”
On 2/6/1989, a group of 11 hikers entered the ██████ National Park of Tennessee during a wilderness camping trip. During a search by park rangers, a derelict camping ground was discovered, belonging to the hikers. UIU52 operatives implanted in local law enforcement recognised signs of SCP-XXXX involvement and UIU intervention was soon requested. At this time, a total of 12 separate ‘Jipute’53 sightings were reported by locals. The report was handed to the SCP Foundation upon request and can now be found in Document XXXX-α.
June 2, 1989 “The Woodswalker Incident”
NOTCE: This file has been willingly given to the SCP Foundation by the United States Unusual Incidents Unit
TOP SECRET
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
UNUSUAL INCIDENTS UNIT
The following is a log of the events starting on 2/6/1989 and ending presumably on the 19/6/1989. Unauthorised access is punishable up to and including lifelong imprisonment.
Entity(s) Involved -
Jipute: (Yipootay) Humanoid, Semi-hostile
Height: Uncertain
Build: Uncertain
Characteristics: Running speeds of 35mph, Extremely loud ‘screaming’ vocalisations, Seeks out fungi, Omnivorous superpredator
Case File -
At approximately 02:00 hours on 6th May 1989, the first on several Jipute sightings would be reported by residents of the ██████ Region of rural Tennessee. These reports occurred up to winter of the same year and consisted of ‘terrible screeching’ from the park’s woodland. Investigation by the UIU and SCP Foundation confirmed signs of Jipute (known to the SCP Foundation as ‘SCP-XXXX’) activity including, but not limited to:
. Torn open carcasses of medium/large fauna; Deer, Elk, Black Bears etc
. Humanoid footprints indicating running speed surpassing an average human’s
. Significant decrease in localised fungus populations
Among other concerns, reports of a camping group consisting of 11 semi-professional hikers disappearing prompted a search and investigation by UIU operatives. SCP Foundation involvement was unrequested, and the SCP Foundation may be met with minor punishment for interfering with a UIU case but now assists the Unusual Incidents Unit in maintaining Jipute secrecy. The hikers’ camp site was located, derelict, on 19/6/1989.
The following is an abridged description of camera footage of the event, recovered by UIU agents upon investigation of the camp.
<June 2>
Primary subject, yet to be identified, is seen introducing the camera to their camp. All 11 members of the trip greet the camera. Subject seems to be recording with the intent of documenting the trip.
<June 4>
Footage opens in what is presumably morning.
Subject: We’ve been raided.
The camp seems to be covered in toppled bags. The footage cuts to the subject a trail camera screen depicting a group of raccoons scavenging food from the hikers’ bags at night. The subject remarks on Joey’s good decision to bring trail cams.
Subject: Gotta watch out for the wildlife here. (Chuckles)
<June 8>
Camera opens to the subject crouched down at a deer carcass.
Subject: Hi! Just thought I’d show off this kill, took down this thing down with my rifle, it’ll taste good on the barbecue tonight. Um, we’ve..
The subject pauses, and glares towards something off camera. The subject takes the camera and his rifle into a nearby clearing, squatting next to another deer carcass, which has been torn open.
Subject: (Chuckles) Looks like someone else has caught some dinner! Look at those bite marks, this thing’s been mangled. I’d guess maybe a bear got this guy.
Nearby Colleague: There are no bears in this forest.
<June 10>
A video of the subject heating water and placing his colleague’s left hand into it.
<June 11>
Subject is in the forest and notably euphoric.
Subject: Look what I found! (Subject displays a Pleurotus ostreatus54 to the camera.) There’s a ton of these mushrooms around our camp, they’ll go real nice with that deer I caught yesterda- (A violent screaming is audible from the nearby woods. Note: Slight camera distortion is evident at this time.)
Screeching continues for 40 seconds.
Subject: I’m gonna head back.
<June 13>
Footage of a helicopter flying overhead. All campers wave at he craft happily as it flies past. ‘G-44’ is visible on it’s fuselage. At this time, SCP Foundation Task Force Gamma-44 was surveying the area due to ‘SCP-XXXX’ reports.
<June 15>
Subject: Guess what I’ve woken up to again.
Subject turns camera to center of camp, which has a torn bag present.
Subject: The raccoons strike back. Joey says he’s gonna kill them next time they come.
<June 15>
Now night, subject and others are in the forest.
Subject: “(Shouting) JOEY. JOEEEY?”
Other voices’ shouting are also audible.
<June 16>
Subject: “We don’t know where Joey went, hopefully he’s just joking around but we’re getting concerned. He’s already been gone for like 18 hours.
<June 19>
Miscellaneous compilation of the subject picking various fungi species. The Jipute can be seen stalking the subject in the distance at numerous points in the footage. Subject is unknowingly stalked by the entity, which is seen in the background on 12 occasions.
Hiker: What’s that?
The entity is observed in the distant shrubbery, glaring at the group. It begins running away.
Subject: Is that a person?
Hiker: Get the gun.
Other hiker returns to tent and emerges with a rifle. Gunshots are heard. Screeching is heard in the distance.
<June 19>
A still frame from the camera, believed to be taken moments after the previous footage (See Image α).
[Image α]
No further footage was recovered. The hikers’ remains were not located.
Addendum XXXX.2:
On 6/3/2007, MTF Gamma-44 ‘Whistle in the Woods’ responded to several reports of SCP-XXXX encounters within Mount Hood National Park, OR, USA. The task force, following protocol, split into sub-groups in order to locate the entity, though 2 members became separated. The following is a record of their encounter with SCP-XXXX.
[BEGIN LOG]
(Operatives Johnson and Williams are trekking through dense foliage, no other members of Gamma-44 are visible.)
Johnson: (Shouting) Hello? Hello!
Williams: Come on, man, no one’s gonna hear us.
Johnson: Well what do you suggest we do, whistle real loud?
Williams: (Chuckles) We may as well walk in one direction and hope we come across something.
Johnson: Across what? Our team or XXXX?
Williams: Hopefully the others.
(The pair walk for approximately 30 minutes before Johnson stops to examine a fallen tree.)
Johnson: (Gasps) Dude, look at this. (Presents a Cantharellus cibarius.55 to Williams)
Williams: Why would you pick that? You know it’s strictly against protoco-
Johnson: Protocol is to not take any with us, not against pick ‘em.
Williams: Better to be safe than sorry. The commander’s not gonna be happy when he reviews our cams.
Johnson: There hasn’t been any sign of XXXX at all. For all we know, the reports were probably about a… weird deer or something, I don’t know.
Radio: (Heavy static) Everyo- Come to ou- Activity confir- (Screaming, unknown to be SCP-XXXX or a team member) RU- (Static)
(Distant screech.)
Williams: Damn it.
(A repeating series of screams get louder.)
(The pair remain back-to-back in a small clearing. The only audible noise is breathing.)
(Silence remains for 25 seconds.)
Johnson: Anything?
Williams: No.
Johnson: (Sniffles)
(Johnson’s feed turns towards the tree canopy, where SCP-XXXX is perched upon a branch.)
Johnson: Will! (Fires at the entity)
(SCP-XXXX climbs from the tree in an insectoid fashion. It sprints at Johnson, rapidly grabbing him, running back behind the tree line.)
Williams: (Crying)
(Williams backs into a large tree, entering the fetal position.)
Williams: Command? Hello? Please, I’m- (Crying)
(Complete silence aside from Williams’ whimpering. The camera faces towards the ground.)
Williams: I- (Sudden heavy video static).
(Williams looks up, revealing SCP-XXXX to be about 50 centimetres away from Williams’ camera. 3 seconds later, the operative’s feed cuts out.)
(The camera lays on the floor, entirely still, presumably still attached to Williams. Video and audio distortion are still present. The entity raises itself on its hind limbs and looks skyward. SCP-XXXX emits an extremely loud howl, which is heavily garbled by static interference. 4 seconds of silence pass. An identical call is heard from deeper within the forest.)

G44-1: Hi, Director.
Director Carter: Greetings, Commander. How can I help you?
G44-1: We need to talk about XXXX.
Director Carter: Yes?
G44-1: 2 days ago, we had reports of the Jipute-
Director Carter: (Sternly) SCP-XXXX. You know how the higher-ups feel about colloquialisms.
G44-1: We had reports of SCP-XXXX activity around Mount Hood in Oregon. We were out there for a couple hours before all of a sudden, the thing ambushed us. We lost 2 of our guys because one of them broke protocol and went shroom pickin’. Anyway, we analysed their camera feed and found something interesting. (Displays end of footage to Director Carter). Did you hear that at the end? There’s more than one of ‘em.
Director Carter: (Noticeably confused) I’ll- I’m going to supply your team with more equipment. Be certain I’ll supply more funding to XXXX resear-
G44-1: That’s not why I’m here, Director. Do you remember what I said to you about a week ago?
Director Carter: Yes.
G44-1: I think this lends credence to my theory. My theory about how SCP-XXXX seems to ‘teleport’ between continents and why it looks slightly different in separate locations. We’re not just talking about a single entity here, Carter. This is a species.
(Both pause for 5 seconds)
Director Carter: How did we not realise this earlier?
