Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid¹

Special Containment Procedures: A 500 m² wide 'safe' zone must be designated for SCP-XXXX. All accessible civilian routes to SCP-XXXX must be rerouted or restricted using the cover story of government-restricted areas. In the event that a civilian or a group of civilians enter SCP-XXXX, all personnel must hide their involvement under the cover story of a vanishing mystery.

A temporary mobile site (Designated as Site 11-8B) designed to research SCP-XXXX has been set up approximately 50 km away from the 'safe' zone boundary. All task force agents embarking on expeditions to SCP-XXXX must be able to know and correctly locate Site 11-8B on the map provided in the Aquatic Research Vessel.

Expeditions to SCP-XXXX must be frequently carried out in order for the Foundation to gain enough information about its occurence and effect on humans. All personnel who embark on SCP-XXXX expeditions must be in top physical and mental form before they are able to participate in the expedition, to prevent any unneccessary deaths during the course of the expedition. Following the events of the third expedition, all SCP-XXXX expeditions are put on temporary hold.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the SCP designation assigned to a 250 m² wide zone located in the Pacific Ocean and situated approximately 2,668 km from the nearest landmass, with the given name of 'Point Nemo', or 'The Dead Zone'.

SCP-XXXX is the farthest oceanic point from any landmass on the planet of Earth, and is confirmed to contain no lifeforms natural to Earth's biology. However, from the results of the third expedition, it has been confirmed that SCP-XXXX contains a possible anomalous entity not belonging to any natural species on Earth. While the exact details regarding the entity have yet to be uncovered, its presence inside SCP-XXXX suggest a possible link between it and the effects of SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX has been confirmed to contain an electromagnetic field that interferes with all electronics that enter the zone, rendering all communication from inside SCP-XXXX unavailable for recording, and effectively forcing personnel to strictly use analog and non-electronic equipment once inside SCP-XXXX.

Once a human enters SCP-XXXX itself, they are subjected to a number of mental and physical effects, including but not limited to nausea, migraines, dizziness, nosebleeds, blurry vision, tinnitus, loss of consciousness, short-term memory loss, long-term memory loss, hallucinations and, in extreme cases, death.

After an individual spends an extended period of time inside SCP-XXXX, they will begin to hallucinate a landmass in the far distance which they claim is named 'R'lyeh'. Despite any attempts to get closer to the landmass, individuals are unable to reach the shores of 'R'lyeh', confirming its existence as a hallucination inside SCP-XXXX.

While the true nature of SCP-XXXX has not been uncovered, its unpredictable nature and ability to affect humans have led to its classification as a threat to civilians.

Document 1: Journal detailing an expedition to SCP-XXXX written by Captain Robert Blake, Captain of the Queen Lucy, dated in the 1900s

July 11th 1906:

Fair weather ahead. I remain fairly confident that we should make it to the 'Point of No Return' tomorrow if the weather remains this way. The crew seems happy, but what do you expect? After we reach the point tomorrow, we can finally return back to the mainland, and they are free to have fun with the local ladies as they like after that.

July 12th 1906:

Well, we're here. The Point of No Return, and it's just like what the books said. It's empty. Nothing's in sight. I'm getting bored just looking at nothing. The crew must also be bored, since I just see them lazing about the deck, not moving an inch, just staring into the vast ocean. To be honest, I also just feel like lying down right now. I can't seem to stay awake. Well, good nig

July 13th 1906:

Woke up feeling terrible. Has my nose bled before? I'm not sure. Need to check on the crew.

The crew is dead. They're in the same position as before, but they're not moving. Or breathing. This makes no sense. The last time I saw them, they were alive!

Something's seriously wrong. I need to get out of here.

July 15th 1906:

I've been trying to escape this godforsaken place for 2 days now. My nose keeps bleeding, and I'm beginning to get headaches frequently now. The compass doesn't even work, since it just keeps spinning around. I don't know what's going on.

July 18th 1906:

I see something. Land? Been trying to get there for days now. I don't even know whether it's real or not.

July ??? 1906:

Am I in hell right now? Is this just a nightmare that I can't wake up from? I don't know.

Note: On August 11th, 1907, the Queen Lucy was spotted floating approximately 5 nautical miles off the southern coast of Australia, with no one on board. The journal was one of the only salvageable pieces of evidence of the existence of SCP-XXXX
