SCP-XXXX - "Murky Waters" (WIP)
NOTE: I have stopped work on this draft. This was my first draft ever and, although I don't think I did too bad, the idea just doesn't stick with me.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: There is currently no method available of preventing or slowing the progress of SCP-XXXX's expansion.
Following the events of Test-Log -, SCP-XXXX is to be surrounded with 8 electric generators along the outskirts of the perimeter, sending a constant 7,000 volts. In the case of a generator not functioning or coming into contact with SCP-XXXX-2, a temporary backup generator will be automatically activated, and a broadcast will be sent to the nearest Foundation electrician assigned to SCP-XXXX to be repaired as soon as possible. Failure to do so will result in severe reprimanding.
A temporary circle-shaped perimeter is to be set 3.5 kilometres away from the edge of SCP-XXXX, and is to be no less than 3 kilometres away at all times. 2 Foundation Guards with minimum Level 3 Clearance are to inspect the entirety of the area of SCP-XXXX's zone daily, and report any strange sightings, including spontaneous expansion of SCP-XXXX or other anomalies manifesting near.
No unauthorised personnel are to enter SCP-XXXX's zone without direct permission from 1 or more Level 4 Clearance for testing.
Testing of SCP-XXXX is now retired. No unauthorised personnel are to enter at any time. Any persons found trespassing are to be detained and brought in for questioning, and will either be administered a Class-C amnestic or terminated depending on their knowledge of SCP-XXXX or the Foundation.
If any person falls into SCP-XXXX, no effort is to be made to rescue them, and are to be declared KIA.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a moderately-sized body of SCP-XXXX-2, approximately 870 metres x 870 metres, with an estimated minimum depth of ██ kilometres. The actual depth of SCP-XXXX is unknown, and presumed to be too deep for any known form of life to survive due to water pressure. It remains unknown if any organic life does inhabit SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX's primary anomalous property is its constant expansion. The edge of SCP-XXXX grows outwards at a rate of 19.3 metres daily, permanently consuming all land in its path. It is estimated that if given time to spread, the entire world would be consumed in ████ years.
SCP-XXXX-2 is an opaque liquid (origins unknown) that forms inside SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-2 has an extremely high viscosity, with similarities to tar. Tests attempting to further analyse the properties of SCP-XXXX-2 in a laboratory environment have failed, as after being removed from SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-2 transforms into water, with no molecular difference to regular water whatsoever.
SCP-XXXX-2 also inhabits the anomalous property of sinking any object dropped on its surface, whether it be organic or non-organic.
SCP-XXXX: "Riddle Me This" (WIP)
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
Knowledge of SCP-XXXX is restricted to Level 3 clearance or above.
SCP-XXXX-2 is bolted onto a table in a small 3 cubic metre containment chamber at Site 129 with a door locked whenever use of SCP-XXXX is unnecessary. The key to the chamber is kept with the current assigned Head Researcher (Dr. Simmons).
A timer is to maintained and set every 16 hours and 38 minutes for when a new instance of SCP-XXXX-2 manifests, and must immediately be retrieved by either the Head Researcher or the nearest available on-site personnel with Level 3 or 4 clearance. If no one is available, an emergency digital camera will automatically activate and send a picture of SCP-XXXX-2.
All instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be written out into a text-to-speech program as to avoid the memetic properties of SCP-XXXX-2. Afterwards, professional detectives will make a corresponding prediction and alert the respective authorities.
After successful analysis of SCP-XXXX-2, the current instance is to be incinerated and disposed of. Should a specific instance of SCP-XXXX-2 be deemed important to preserve, permission must be acquired from the Head Researcher and 2 other Level 4 Clearance personnel. Afterwards, the preserved instance must be stored inside High-Security Anomalous Object Storage as to prevent a security breach.
If knowledge of SCP-XXXX-2 is leaked into the public, a wide-scale disinformation digital campaign will be made to claim that solving it is indeed possible, and that the solution "hasn't been discovered yet".
At no time is SCP-XXXX-1 to be harmed in any way. Doing so will incur punishments ranging from a lower salary to clearance demotion and to termination of employment.
Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is a 15cm x 10cm x 10cm, highly polished oak wooden box with a small interior of 5 cubic centimetres. The casing itself shows no anomalous properties, and functions as a regular wood box on the exterior. It remains unknown if SCP-XXXX-1 is sentient in any way.
Approximately every 16 hours and 38 minutes, a new instance of SCP-XXXX-2 is manifested in the interior of SCP-XXXX-1. How this works is unknown, and further testing of the nature of SCP-XXXX-2's appearance has failed, as all objects inside SCP-XXXX-1 during this phase spontaneously disappear.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a small piece of standard, factory-grade paper,. Again, it remains unconfirmed if SCP-XXXX-2 demonstrates sentience. The text written in ink on one side of SCP-XXXX-2 varies in language. Reported languages observed have been:
- English
- French
- Spanish
- Binary
- Morse Code
- Unknown language, thought not to originate from Earth.
- (DATA EXPUNGED), leaving 1 Guard injured, 1 Guard dead and former Head Researcher, Dr ███, in a critical comatose stage. The subject was successfully terminated after non-lethal force failed.
SCP-XXXX-2's text compose of simple riddles (described by professional detectives as possessing an average challenge factor shown among the majority of public, well-known riddles) which when decoded, predict a near event or disaster occurring in the next 48 hours. To date, approximately 92% of the events decoded in SCP-XXXX-2 have proven true, although it remains unclear whether this is because SCP-XXXX-2 shows occasional faults or because of error in the decoding process. See Test Log XXXX01-XXXX0X for more information.
SCP-XXXX-2 also the secondary property of inhabiting an auditory and visual memetic effect. When reading the text directly from SCP-XXXX-2, including digital technology, or when hearing organic lifeforms reading out the text, subjects will believe that the
The topic of the riddles have included but are not limited to:
- Modern-day Politics
- Physical and Political Geography
- Economics
- Terrorism
- Mass-murder and massacres
- Foundation (DATA EXPUNGED), which have been declared a Top-Priority Foundation Asset
It is important to note that the topics SCP-XXXX chooses to write about typically are more large-scale crisis. To date, SCP-XXXX has not written about any:
- Murders with less than 5 involved victims
- Sexual violence
- Robberies
- Arsony of private property.
XXXX01 - 12/24/1998, 19:47. Instance: XXXX08
Note: XXXX08 was written entirely in English.
Product:
Ho ho ho, it's the holiday season,
Perfect for bloodshed without reason!
At the dawn of the merry day,
In the land of the free, and with guns you may,
Use them for acts so vile,
Murderous maniacs that cannot be reconciled!
So be on alert in for this maniac will be,
At the house painted white entirely!
Procedure: After following standard memetic-neutralizing protocol, detectives predicted that a mass shooting would occur sometime in Christmas Day in the White House, Washington D. C. Afterwards, security in the White House including the Secret Service and several security checkpoints were set-up nearby on high alert.
Results: The shooter, Mr. David ███████, was caught at a security checkpoint wielding several firearms, weighing in total at █ kilograms. As Mr. ███████ raised a revolver and attempted to shoot a civilian, Foundation Senior Guard ██████, codename "Barnes" shot a non-lethal electric shot that successfully neutralized the target. The Guard was later promoted to Lieutenant for his excelling initiative.
Status: XXXX08 proved 100% accurate in preventing a potential loss of life.
Addendum: 2/28/20██:
Dr Simmons: Requesting reclassification of SCP-XXXX to Thaumiel as its ability to predict future (DATA EXPUNGED) has proven invaluable to the foundation.
05-██: Denied. SCP-XXXX has only occasionally been useful in preventing such incidents that would prove helpful in anomaly containment.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored at all times in its containment chamber in Site 79 inside a High-Security Anomalous Container with a password and retinal scan from the currently assigned Level 3 researcher (currently Dr. ████████).
Approval for testing must be granted from the Site Director and 2 other Level 3 researchers. Any personnel found to be attempting to access SCP-XXXX without proper clearance will be neutralised and their employment will be terminated after an interrogation and application of Class B amnestics.
If SCP-XXXX reaches XXXX-Active-Phase-5 during testing, testing is to be aborted immediately and SCP-XXXX is to be destroyed as soon as possible. If SCP-XXXX enters any form of XXXX-Active outside of testing, all personnel are advised to maintain a safe distance from the subject and enclose it inside a room until MTF Beta-8 ("Mad Cat-ters") arrive.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a ceramic figurine 30 centimetres tall closely resembling a 'Maneki-neko', a Japanese lucky charm colloquially believed to bring good luck. It is unknown from which brand or company manufactured it.
SCP-XXXX demonstrates 2 separate phases - Phase-XXXX-Inactive and Phase-XXXX-Active (1-9)
While in Phase-XXXX-Inactive, SCP-XXXX remains entirely motionless and presents no danger whatsoever. However, upon coming into contact with any Japanese currency (Yen), the currency will inexplicably disintegrate. SCP-XXXX will remain in Phase-XXXX-Inactive until all line of sight is broken, at which point the subject will transition into Phase-XXXX-Active-1.
While in Phase-XXXX-Active-1, SCP-XXXX will move at approximately 0.278 metres per second, or approximately 1 kilometre per hour, in the direction of the nearest human available. SCP-XXXX is incapable of breaking or passing through solid objects.
If SCP-XXXX makes contact while in Phase-XXXX-Active-1, both SCP-XXXX and it's victim (SCP-XXXX-A) will disappear for anywhere between 10 - 60 seconds, following by a large amount of 1 Yen coins replacing the last position of SCP-XXXX-A. After another 10 seconds, SCP-XXXX will reappear, and transition to Phase-XXXX-Active-2. Upon further testing of the "upgrading" capabilities of SCP-XXXX, it has been determined that the maximum "phase" of SCP-XXXX is Phase-XXXX-Active-9.
List of all Phase-XXXX-Active levels:
- Phase-XXXX-Active-1: 1 kilometre per hour, 1 Yen coins
- Phase-XXXX-Active-2: 2 kilometres per hour, 5 Yen coins
- Phase-XXXX-Active-3: 4 kilometres per hour, 10 Yen coins
- Phase-XXXX-Active-4: 8 kilometres per hour, 50 Yen coins
- Phase-XXXX-Active-5: 16 kilometres per hour, 100 Yen coins. Destruction of SCP-XXXX is a top priority.
- Phase-XXXX-Active-6: 32 kilometres per hour, 500 Yen coins
- Phase-XXXX-Active-7: 64 kilometres per hour, 1000 Yen notes
- Phase-XXXX-Active-8:
SCP-XXXX has very little durability, and can be easily destroyed with firearms or temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. However, upon all line of sight being broken, SCP-XXXX will re-appear at the location which it was last destroyed, and will transfer to Phase-XXXX-Inactive.
