Subject: SCP-5674
Procedures: One D-class wearing a helmet light and camera is to reconnoiter SCP-5674-Prime and attempt contact with SCP-5674-2. A major radiation release is likely, and MTF Beta-7 "Maz Hatters" have been deployed to minimize the threat. Using robots, SCP-5674 is to be relocated to an empty warehouse owned by a Foundation front, approximately one mile from the site. The D-class used is to be equipped with gear and a suit necessary to survive at least 15 Sv of radiation.
[BEGIN LOG]
D-9561 I'm standing in front of SCP-5674. I'm awaiting instructions.
Dr. Williams: Please touch SCP-5674 with your right hand.
Wormhole opens
D-9561: Holy shit!
Dr. Williams: Please enter the wormhole.
D-9561 What the fuck is on the other side?
Dr. Williams: We are sending you into the anomaly to discover that. Please enter the wormhole.
D-9561 I'm proceeding.
Feed briefly cuts off and resumes. D-9561 is standing in the outfield of what appears to be an abandoned baseball stadium, appearing to be an exact copy of Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, in very poor condition.
D-9561: Well… thank god, or whatever you people believe in. Here I was expecting to meet Satan.
Dr. Williams: Please attempt to locate any humans.
D-9561: Hello! HELLO!
SCP-5674-2 appears on the infield.
Dr. Williams: Please approach SCP-5674-2.
D-9561: Who are you?
D-9561 slowly walks toward SCP-5674-2. Next to SCP-5674-2 are three motionless red human-shaped figures appearing to be made of tightly-wound thread similar to the stitches on a baseball.
SCP-5674-2: The Stitcher. Condemned to forever in this park rot, in strident belief that I shall not, I stitch the baseballs tighter yet, for freedom I will one day get.
D-9561: Nice poetry. What do you "stitch", though?
SCP-5674-2: Baseballs.
D-9561: What do you really do here? You can't just… stitch balls for a year and a half.
SCP-5674-2: I am one with the ball. Since I cook in rage, down here, alone! It is through the ball that I shall gain freedom. I was sent here for throwing the ball. The ball conversed with me, Had I won that fateful day in August, i would rule in power over all the domain of the ball. And yet now… I rot here. When I have stitches one hundred and eight balls, the day will come when I shall rule at last!
D-9561: You are not a baseball, you are just anomalous. We believe you were trapped in here somehow and we can get you out now, all you have to do is-
SCP-5674-2: I stitch. I TRUST NOT ANY HERETIC'S METHOD!
D-9561: What do you stitch? Why is that better than simply-
SCP-5674-2: I stitch the ball, the heart of life, the chance of salvation. For what do you send your scum into my home again? I was free! The ball had freed me and you cursed me here again!
D-9561: You don't have to stay here! It is not "the ball" you are stitching that can free you, all we must do is touch the glass ball! We can leave now-
SCP-5674-2: SILENCE! YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST SCUM TO PROMISE MY FREEDOM! WHAT HERETIC DARES TO DEFY THE POWER OF THE BALL?
D-9561: Do you mean those researchers? Where are they?
SCP-5674-2: You foundation scum have no intuition.
SCP-5674-2 lifts up a huge, foot-long metal spear appearing to be a large needle and strings a red thread through it. SCP-5674-2 begins piercing the skin of D-9561, who collapses screaming. 87 seconds later the camera is covered in red string and all sounds have stopped. 187 hours later, SCP-5674-2 picks up and speaks into the helmet camera.
SCP-5674-2: Should the ball bring me 108, It shall return in power and freedom, and four stitches reign so great, who shall be next to lead them?
[END LOG]
Note: SCP-5674-2 seems to believe that it wagered with SCP-5674 to acquire SCP-5674's supposed powers. Evidence has suggested that SCP-5674 has no anomalous effects over anything except radiation, however the similarity of damage caused to MTF Beta-7 members' bodies caused by SCP-5674-2's bat to that of SCP-2398 suggests SCP-5674 may have control over baseball-related anomalies or the entirety of the game of baseball itself. Another possibility considered is that SCP-5674-2 is experiencing insanity caused by prolonged containment inside SCP-5674-Prime. There are also major concerns of a potential containment breach should SCP-5674-2 successfully obtain and kill 108 humans. As such SCP-5674 must not be recklessly tested without adequate reason.
Request to O5 council for testing approval: ask SCP-5674-2 for details regarding SCP-2206 to determine if SCP-5674 is connected to all baseball-related anomalies.
