Item #: SCP-XXXXObject Class: Neutralized |
Special Containment Procedures: Audio copies and transcripts of SCP-XXXX are to be kept within a Level 5/XXXX classified folder within this document. Physical versions of the transcripts are to be stored in an unmarked folder in Site-15's Level 5 storage unit. All other copies are to be destroyed.
Attempts to identify SCP-XXXX-1's location of origin are ongoing.
Description: SCP-XXXX presents itself as a series of audio logs that were discovered within the Site-15 Audio Documentation Database.
SCP-XXXX seem to document an interstellar colonization voyage led by an organization analogous to the SCP Foundation following an XK-Class "End of the World" scenario.
"So, what are you in for?"
Markus Matthews was an innocent man. Well, at least until he was framed for his wife's murder and sentenced to death.
Now, seven months after he was locked up in a death row cell that he was sure he would die in (or that it would be the last place he slept before he died), a balding man wearing a near-identical jumpsuit to Markus's sat in the seat next to him. The periodically flickering internal lights of the yellow bus were their only major light source, as the one-way glass of the windows wouldn't let them see the sun and a barrier had been installed between them and the driver.
"They thought I killed my wife," Markus replied. "I didn't, of course. I was framed. You?"
"Drugs. Possession and distribution. I didn't use any myself, but I had enough on my record to land me a life sentence. I know now that what I did was wrong, but I can't change what I've already done. Unlike you, I actually deserve to be in a cell."
"Wow. I'm pretty sure the only illegal thing I've ever done was that time I smoked some pot in college."
"Hey, no shame in that. Everyone's done it. Probably even these guys." Markus's seatmate gestured to the armed guards standing at the front and back of the bus, ensuring all the inmates stay in line as the last few were being loaded. "By the way," the seatmate continued. "What's your name?"
"Markus, Markus Matthews."
"Pleasure to meet you, Markus, Markus Matthews. I'm Fred Hynes."
"Well, Fred Hynes, any idea where these fellas are taking us?" That drew a few glimpses and clearly got some people listening in. Seemed most people didn't know either.
"No clue. Shady guy shows up, tells me I can get my freedom for working with his organization for a while. I don't have anything outside those concrete walls, so I sign some papers, they put me on this bus with forty other guys and you."
"Same story here." The sputter of the bus's engine starting could be heard, and everyone on it jolted forward as it began moving. "Seems like we're on our way."
"Yes, it does."
After another few hours of casual conversation between the two of them, the bus suddenly stopped. The pair of guards at the back turned to face the front. The guards at the front gestured for all the inmates to stand up before escorting them off the bus. Markus caught a brief snippet of the tail end of a conversation between the two closest guards.
"So I hear these are the first ones that aren't gonna be cycled out."
"Yeah, some guy in Ethics made a whole speech about how it was unsustainable and unethical."
"I mean, makes sense. We bring a busload of these folks in every month, we're gonna run out soon enough."

Note: This version of the article is significantly updated from the original.
I had this idea during the blood moon maybe a week after watching Arrival. Turns out it's hard to write a super ambitious article like this only a month after writing your first one. Here's hoping it'll do well.
Thanks to Nerdibbles, my good friends
poppychips and Rhi, my first semester British Literature class's student teacher, and various others for critique, as well as
pxdnbluesoul and
Petrograd for being the main driving forces behind my deciding to rewrite this article.

Item #: SCP-4320Object Class: Euclid |
NOTE: This document contains supplementary documentation and an updated description and containment procedures that were not present in a previous version of SCP-4320's document. Changes from the original version of this page are indicated in blue.
Special Containment Procedures: Under no circumstances are members of SCP-4320-2 to be allowed in the vicinity of SCP-4320-1.
Foundation Webcrawler 4320 is to monitor and track all mentions of and information regarding SCP-4320 and its subdesignations in order to isolate and properly monitor SCP-4320-2 individuals. Mobile Task Force Pi-32 ("Moonwatcher Watchers") are to seek out and gather information on SCP-4320-2 individuals of interest to the Foundation, attempting to apprehend or recruit them if necessary. Other SCP-4320-2 are to be identified through cross-referencing of genetic records with known SCP-4320-2. Any members of Foundation personnel who discover that they are members of SCP-4320-2 are to report this directly to the acting SCP-4320 Project Director.
Currently, the Foundation employs 39 38 SCP-4320-2 individuals (1 administrator, 19 site staff, 14 13 field personnel, and 5 long-term D-Class personnel) and is aware of the identity, personal details, and whereabouts of 8827 9710 more, 32 35 of whom are known to be affiliated with major Groups of Interest. An additional 35 42 SCP-4320-2 individuals (especially politicians and celebrities) have been made aware of the Foundation's existence and agreed to indirectly assist in efforts to suppress public knowledge of SCP-4320 under Procedure 4320-Apollo.
Description: SCP-4320 is the collective designation for three separate but interconnected anomalies:
- SCP-4320-1 is a planetoid in orbit of the Earth. Despite being the same approximate size as the planet Mars and with an orbital semi-major axis distance only 1.72 times that of Luna, SCP-4320-1 has no apparent gravitational, electromagnetic, or thermodynamic effect on its surrounding celestial neighborhood.
- SCP-4320-2 is a group of individuals comprising roughly 0.00025 0.000275 percent of the world population. SCP-4320-2 is defined by the ability to see SCP-4320-1 unconditionally while others cannot. This ability appears to be inherited genetically, with the potential to skip generations.
- SCP-4320-3 is a humanoid civilization that once inhabited SCP-4320-1 at an indeterminate point in the past. See the section titled 'Supplementary Documentation' for further information regarding SCP-4320-3.
SCP-4320-1 is a natural satellite in orbit of the Earth only visible to members of SCP-4320-2. However, travel to and visibility of SCP-4320-1 is possible by those individuals who are not SCP-4320-2, but these individuals will only report being able to see SCP-4320-1 while outside of Luna's average orbital distance. However, the visual materialization of SCP-4320-1 is seemingly not instant, and individuals will not report it ever having been absent, only having gone unnoticed until an indeterminate point. Artifacts or samples taken outside of SCP-4320-1's 'visibility radius' will not exhibit its anomalous properties.
The explicit nature of SCP-4320-1's perceptive suppression abilities and lack of apparent gravitational field at large distances are unknown. However, it is hypothesized that these phenomena stem from the possibility that SCP-4320-1 exists within an extradimensional pocket that is only partially detached from baseline reality.
SCP-4320-1 has an argon-rich nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere similar to that of Earth's and large bodies of freshwater. Scattered across the surface of SCP-4320-1 are the remnants of a highly advanced humanoid civilization (see Expedition Log 4320-A for more information). Despite this, no life has ever been detected on SCP-4320-1, and the means by which the various cities and structures are still intact are unknown.

Exploration 4320-A Video Log Transcript
Date: 08/21/2024
Exploration Team: Mobile Task Force Pi-32
Subject: Unnamed city center, SCP-4320-1
Team Lead: Captain Juliet Mendez
Team Members: Lieutenants Matt Cyterski and Andrew Butler (Butler is a member of SCP-4320-2), Researcher Amelia Zhang
Notes: MTF operatives were armed with assault rifles. All team members were further equipped with a helmet-mounted camera, nonlethal sidearm, multi-tool, and cognitohazard-filtering visors. Due to the similarities between the atmospheres of SCP-4320-1's and Earth's atmospheres, only basic EVA suits were required.
[BEGIN LOG]
CPT Mendez: Alright, recorder's running. Sound off.
LT Butler: Butler, check.
LT Cyterski: Cyterski, check.
RSCR Zhang: Zhang, check.
Mendez: That's everyone. Command, you hearing us?
Command: Affirmative, Captain. How's it going up there?
Mendez: Well, we're on the surface. Haven't run into any life-threatening danger.
Cyterski: Yet.
(Laughs from Cyterski and Butler.)
Mendez: Hey, guys, keeping morale up is important, but the mission is too.
(Cyterski and Butler return to attention.)
Butler: Yes, Captain.
Command: Alright, your task is to find as much information on SCP-4320 as possible: why SCP-4320-1 is hidden, why the -2s are special, and who or what -3 were.
Mendez: You got it. Zhang's already looking in one of the buildings.
Zhang: There's nothing remarkable in here. It's essentially just a round staircase that heads down into the center of the room, like you might find at an amphitheater, with a couple archways embedded in the stairs.
Command: You said archways?
**Zhang: Uh, yeah.
(Zhang's video feed confirms this, showing five archways within the circular staircase.)
Mendez: Well, I guess that's where we're heading.
Command: Up to you, Captain.
Mendez: Then let's go. Butler, Cyterski, keep your weapons locked and loaded. We don't know what we're gonna find in there.
Butler and Cyterski: Copy.
(Team follows Mendez into one of the archways, which leads into a descending, spiral-shaped passage which the team travels along for approximately 31 minutes. Several comments are made by members of the team about the length of the passage. Near the end, the passage becomes straight and levels out before sloping sharply upwards, opening into the center of a hemispherical empty space at least 1 kilometer in radius, the walls of which are lined with inscriptions in an unknown language.)
Zhang: Well, that was underwhelming.
Command: I assume you're not seeing any more than us?
Zhang: Not unless you're seeing less than a big empty space.
Mendez: There's gotta be something in here. Whoever built it wouldn't have it if they didn't need it.
Cyterski: Hey, uh… Butler, you okay?
(No response from Butler. Feed still showed a successful live broadcast and stable vitals.)
Command: Lieutenant Butler, do you copy?
Butler: It's beautiful…
Mendez: What the hell? Butler, snap out of it.
Command: Butler, tell us what you see.
(Silence from Butler for several seconds. Other team members show increasing signs of distress.)
Command: Lieutenant Butler, you are under orders to respond.
Mendez: Command, permission to abort?
Command: Permission denied. You still need to-
Butler: I can see them. Us. It's here. It's all here. The world. Our history. Our inheritance.
(All feeds broadcasting from Butler cease.)
Mendez: Command, we've got some weird shit going on. Butler's gone.
Command: Please elaborate. He's still showing up on your feeds. How is he 'gone'?
Mendez: He's gone in the way that I can still see him but I can tell he's not actually here.
Command: Captain, you have orders to abort the mission.
Mendez: But there's gotta be something-
Command: If it's really how you describe it, there's nothing you can do. We can't risk losing the rest of you. Abort the mission and get out of there.
[END LOG]
Mission was aborted and team returned to Site-19. No further broadcast was received from Butler, and all attempts to locate him have failed.
Incident 4320-Alpha
Several Foundation personnel, all SCP-4320-2 individuals, lost consciousness soon after mission abort. Reports were made of SCP-4320-2 individuals around the globe (both those known and previously undiscovered by the Foundation) losing consciousness. Procedure 4320-Apollo's disinformation campaigns were temporarily expanded to suppress discovery of SCP-4320.
Following their return to consciousness, SCP-4320-2 personnel claimed to have witnessed visions of fragments of the inscriptions found within SCP-4320-1 and also claimed to have a basic understanding of their meanings (although many believed the true meanings were too difficult to describe in words). Personnel were asked to recreate the fragments they saw and linguistic analysis of the fragments was initiated soon after.
Findings Report: Researcher Amelia Zhang
The higher-ups have asked me to write this report on what happened up there. I guess I'll do my best.
SCP-4320-1 was once the home of SCP-4320-3, a highly advanced and highly religious society of humans, or at least a species similar enough to humans that they had the ability to reproduce with humans.
Their religious beliefs weren't quite mirrored by any particular Earth religion. While they had the typical stuff (daily worship, selfless acts, et cetera), they also had an obsession with something they called 'Inheritance'. For those of you that read the expedition log, that's the last thing Butler said before we lost him.
So, considering all that, what's the story behind SCP-4320? What's so important about this thing that it needs to be hidden?
Here's what I think. I don't think Inheritance is a thing, at least not in the way we generally use the word 'thing'. It's their afterlife. But not in the way we generally use the word 'afterlife'.
It's quite obvious at this point that SCP-4320-2 are the biological descendants of -3. It's been hypothesized for some time, but only now have we been able to confirm it. And it's clear that -1 affects -2 in ways we couldn't have imagined. But I think it goes beyond even that.
Once that place claimed Butler, thousands of -2 around the world fell unconscious. I think that that moment was an awakening. That moment in that room. Butler claimed his Inheritance. Now that hidden planet is calling for the rest of its children to spread its word. And some are listening. We've gotten reports of cults with members who are both -2 and not popping up, worshipping Inheritance. If we can't stop them soon, they risk exposing the world to knowledge of SCP-4320. And then what do we do? We have no idea what Inheritance is. We have no way of contacting anyone who's entered Inheritance as far as we know. It's better not to send people into Inheritance blindly. So to avoid exposing the Foundation to the world, it's better still to prevent anyone from entering Inheritance at all.
That's not all either. The scary part is that the SCP-4320-2 population seems to be growing, and faster than it should. People who never reported seeing -1 before have been speaking up. Granted, it's only a 10 percent increase (from 0.00025% to 0.000275% of the population), but if that keeps going for everyone who's a carrier of the gene, we'd have an exposure scenario on our hands. This isn't like that flat Earth bullshit. This is serious. If one anomaly is known to exist, who's to say a Group of Interest won't reveal all of them? We're risking discovery of the entire Foundation here. We can't let this get out. If we do, our entire mission will have failed.

Special Containment Procedures: The positions and in-progress activities of each instance of SCP-XXXX are to be recorded monthly. Any newly detected SCP-XXXX instances are to be reported and recorded.
Description: SCP-XXXX are a collection of various groups of statues resembling the protagonists and antagonists of each part of popular manga and anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The statues are grouped based on the part from which the characters originate2.
When observed, the statues remain motionless in arrangements and poses matching key scenes from various chapters or episodes of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga or anime. However, unique scenes taking place in neither the manga nor anime have also been recorded, and certain scenes have been depicted by SCP-XXXX before they took place in the manga.

Thought of this one in the shower. Just sort of came outta nowhere. Let's see how it holds up.
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be provided tentative Class IV humanoid containment privileges and housed in Site-11's residential district along with no less than two Class C field agents. Scranton Reality Anchors tuned to the proper frequency to counteract SCP-XXXX's reality bending abilities are to be placed around the perimeter of its residence.
SCP-XXXX is to be provided access to the internet and may request entertainment materials (video games, novels, movies, etc.), which will be provided upon approval by the Project Director. All of SCP-XXXX's internet activity is to be monitored and, should the need arise, restricted.
While it was contained within a secure cell in Site-88, SCP-XXXX attempted multiple minor containment breaches where it seeked to escape its cell but not Site-88. Upon the approval of its appeal by its assigned containment and research team and under the Humanoid Rights and Ethics Protocol, it was granted Class IV humanoid containment privileges and limited free roam of Site-11's urban area, but is not permitted to use its reality-altering abilities for any actions deemed to be above those of a Class II reality bender.
SCP-XXXX has made no intentional escape attempts since being relocated to Site-11, but has on multiple occasions "accidentally" exited the perimeter it is permitted to explore unsupervised, despite precautions being in place to prevent these "accidents"3.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity roughly 1.8 meters in height and 59 kg in weight, appearing as a Caucasian male in his late teens.
SCP-XXXX is capable of reality-altering abilities roughly equivalent to that of a Class IV human reality bender. SCP-XXXX claims to be a minor deity originating from an extradimensional space it refers to simply as "home".
SCP-XXXX was discovered after similar civilian reports were made of similar localized reality disturbances within Atlanta, Georgia, USA. SCP-XXXX was eventually located and complied to being detained by the Foundation. Below is a log of the following interview between SCP-XXXX and Researcher Maverick.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Researcher Immanuel Maverick
Foreword: First interview with SCP-XXXX following its tentative containment.
<BEGIN LOG>
Maverick: Hello, SCP-XXXX. I'm Researcher Hernandez.
SCP-XXXX: You know, I really don't appreciate y'all callin' me that.
Maverick: What, SCP-XXXX? I apologize, it's -
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, I know, just procedure. I don't appreciate it but I'll accept it.
Maverick: Well, if there's a better name you prefer to be called…
SCP-XXXX: Lusio. Name's Lusio.
Maverick: Well then, Lusio, it says here that you claim to be some form of deity. Is that correct?
SCP-XXXX: Yup.
Maverick: Well, if I may ask, do you have any form of… domain?
SCP-XXXX: Uh… not really sure, to be honest.
