Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and Nathan S. Fry's corpse are to be located at Site-103's private cemetery. Security cameras are to be placed nearby SCP-XXXX to monitor it for any potential anomalous activity. Due to the lack of SCP-XXXX-1 manifestations for the past ██ years after enaction of Protocol Stonewall, surveillance of SCP-XXXX is considered low priority.
Foundation Agents are to be sent to ██. ████ ████████ to ensure that there is no interference with Nathan S. Fry's original gravesite.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the grave of Nathan S. Fry, originally located at ██. ████ ████████ in Berkeley, California. SCP-XXXX's anomalous affects appear to be centralized around the actual location of Fry's corpse, and as such the rest of the graveyard in which Fry was initially buried is not believed to be anomalous.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a Class-II Incorporeal Entity that appears as a female humanoid composed of smoke. Although SCP-XXXX-1 is incorporeal, it is able to manipulate and affect physical objects. SCP-XXXX-1 displays superhuman levels of strength, displaying a maximum of approximately 18 meganewtons of force.
When a gravestone is placed upon SCP-XXXX When a gravestone displaying the words 'Nathan S. Fry' is placed upon SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 manifests and attempts to destroy the gravestone by any means necessary. After destroying the gravestone, SCP-XXXX-1 demanifests soon after.
SCP-XXXX-1 is believed to be mostly hostile towards humans, attacking any that approach it SCP-XXXX-1 is believed to be hostile to those it perceives as interfering with SCP-XXXX. Attempts to replace the gravestone on SCP-XXXX have typically resulted in SCP-XXXX-1 manifesting and attacking any humans nearby.
The relation between Fry and SCP-XXXX-1 is currently unknown. See Addendum 2
Addendum 1: Nathan S. Fry
Nathan S. Fry's death was initially investigated soon after SCP-XXXX began displaying anomalous properties. Despite this, the circumstances of his death are not entirely understood.
Fry was found dead inside Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve on August 30th, 1995. Fry's autopsy revealed that he had overdosed on Benadryl, which is further corroborated by an empty bottle of Benadryl in his pocket.
Fry was 19 years old at the time of his death, and was living with his mother, Tracy Fry.
An interview was conducted with his mother and a neighbor. His sister, who is currently employed by the foundation, declined to comment on the situation.
Interviewed: William ██████
Interviewer: Agent Evan Halbert
Foreword: Agent Evan Halbert was posing as a police officer investigating the circumstances of Nathan S. Fry's death. William ██████ was the next door neighbor to both Nathan S. Fry and Tracy Fry.
William ██████: So, officer, can I get you anything or-
Agent Evan Halbert: No thanks, I'm fine. I just wanted to ask some questions about the family that lives next door to you, the Fry's.
William ██████: Oh, them. Yeah, I've heard plenty of things about them, er, whatdya' wanna know?
Agent Evan Halbert: Well, the boy there, Nathan, was found dead. We wanted to ask you if you heard anything a few nights ago.
William ██████: Really? Goddamn, well, I did hear some yelling. It was mostly incoherent, but I could make out some phrases here and there. "Get out", "I won't have any of that in my fucking house", honestly I was nearly going to call to call the policeto check it out before it stopped.
Agent Evan Halbert: Who do you think it was that was yelling?
William ██████: I'm pretty sure it was the mom there.
Agent Evan Halbert: Alright, I think that will be all. Have a good day, Mr. ██████

<Begin Log, [optional time info]>
Tracy Fry lights a cigarette. She shuffles in her seat slightly
Agent Evan Halbert: I understand this must be quite a shock to you, Miss Fry. Is it fine if ask you a few questions about what happened that night?
Tracy Fry: Yeah- Yeah, sure.
Agent Evan Halbert: Did you see Nathan leave here?
Tracy Fry: No, sometimes he just went off places- I mean I have no goddamn clue why he'd just up and leave like that. I was out and I didn't see anything about it.
Agent Evan Halbert: Was anyone else home at the time?
Tracy Fry: No- No, his sister was out too.
Agent Evan Halbert: Was he acting unusual before then?
Tracy Fry: He- He was always one of those quiet types, you know? The one's that didn't talk much to anyone, that got him picked on a lot. People didn't like how odd he was acting, I think. Well, he seemed to be spending a lot of time alone in his room. I didn't think much of it because, you know how teenagers act.
Er, what did you say it was that he took, again?
Agent Evan Halbert: We think it was Benadryl, Miss Fry.
Tracy Fry: Damn it, damn it…
Agent Evan Halbert: We heard from a neighbor that he heard a lot of yelling from your house. Would you be able to shed some light on that-
Tracy Fry seems shocked at first before standing up.
Tracy Fry: No- No, I'm not gonna answer that. Just leave me alone, damn it! I have the right to remain silent and I'm keeping it that way. Just leave me alone.

Addendum 2: Incident XXXX-05
Addendum 3: Containment Re-Assessment and Protocol Stonewall.
Following a large number of fatalities in Incident XXXX-05, which is believed to have been caused by the containment procedures created by Dr. Hawkes for SCP-XXXX, Dr. Hawkes has been removed from his position as HCML Supervisor for SCP-XXXX.
Following her assignment to SCP-XXXX as HCML supervisor, Containment Specialist Ruby Ekenberg has instituted a new set of procedures, dubbed Protocol Stonewall, to reduce the lethality of SCP-XXXX
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All identified SCP-XXXX items are to be contained in a secure containment locker. Under no circumstances are any Foundation Personnel beyond Class D personnel to ingest any SCP-XXXX products.
Identified shipments of SCP-XXXX are to be contained as soon as possible, and instances in retail are to be recalled. Staff involved with obtaining the shipment are to be interviewed before amnesticization.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the collective designation for a collection of packaged food items released under the "PURE FOODS" brand. These items are typically food and drink items mimicking those of popular brands such as Coca-Cola or Haribo. SCP-XXXX are usually found and shipped to small convenience stores. Attempts to find the company or individuals responsible for the creation of SCP-XXXX are ongoing.
When ingested, SCP-XXXX adverse anomalous effects on the digestive system of the consumer. While the effects of SCP-XXXX products typically vary with the specific item, with some being much less harmful, no item has been shown to have no anomalous effects on the consumer. Items of a specific SCP-XXXX product designated further as SCP-XXXX-A through SCP-XXXX-D
An abridiged description of each SCP-XXXX product and its observed effects are available below:
| Designation |
Name on Packaging |
Description |
| SCP-XXXX-A |
PURE BERRIES |
SCP-XXXX-A appears to be a container of assorted berries with packaging typical of the 'PURE FOODS' brand. After consumption, SCP-XXXX-A manifests large quantities of rotting berries inside of the digestive system of the consumer. |
| SCP-XXXX-B |
PURE SODA. |
SCP-XXXX-C resembles a soda can used by brands such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi, with packaging typical of the 'PURE FOODS' brand. SCP-XXXX-C's contents are carbonated mineral water. After consumption, multiple glass 237ml bottles form in the digestive system of the consumer, often shattering from pressure. |
| SCP-XXXX-C |
PURE WORMS |
The packaging contains multiple multi-flavored gummy candies in the shape of worms. Following ingestion, entities resembling Eunice aphroditois appear inside of the subject's digestive system. These entities, when removed, appear colored or dyed to resemble the candies in SCP-XXXX-D. This causes significant trauma to the digestive system and other parts of the body due to the entities burrowing instincts. |
| SCP-XXXX-D |
PURE BEARS |
The packaging contains multiple multi-flavored gummy candies in the shape of bears. After being ingested, a juvenile Brown Bear forms in the consumer's digestive system over the course of 1-3 days. The juvenile brown bear, after being removed, appears to have dyed fur similar in appearance to the colored gummy consumed when opened |
Addendum 1: Packaging:
On the back of all SCP-XXXX items, there are a series of statements presumably from the company or creators. This has remained constant on the packaging itself and is the only sign or marking from the company, aside from the "PURE FOODS" brand name.
it is our MISSION, and has ALWAYS been our MISSION to bring you PURE FOODS
look at the OTHER PRODUCTS you own. look at the INGREDIENTS. the SUGARS, SYRUPS, and UNNECESSARY things that have been added. so much added for TASTE. so much added to PLACATE you.
look underneath this. WE do not give you the SUGARS that slowly rot your teeth, the FATS that bloat you, the SYRUPs that leave you wanting more. we give you PURE FOODS.
we take the PURE ESSENCE out of these and put them into the gelatin. no MORE. no LESS
EAT with PRIDE. YOU are getting the FINEST in FOOD. YOU are getting the PUREST.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous form of the Foundation's MACAI program, created for use in the Foundation's surveillance systems. The intended purpose of SCP-XXXX was to analyze any outgoing media programs for cognitohazards or infohazards and censor them before they could potentially be exposed to civillians.
SCP-XXXX functions similarly to the MACAI program currently used by foundation systems, as it analyzes media files for cognitohazards and produces a safer version. However, SCP-XXXX appears to act in ways not intended for its program, often adding messages and editing parts of the
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Specific information regarding SCP-XXXX is only to be kept in a consistently updated dossier that is restricted from foundation personnel unless absolutely necessary for testing. After testing has concluded, subjects that know extensive details about SCP-XXXX are to be administered Class-A Amnestics and returned to normal duties.
Works containing SCP-XXXX, if found, are to be censored of necessary information for SCP-XXXX to manifest. Standard procedures for infohazards apply to information regarding specific details of SCP-XXXX.
When SCP-XXXX manifests, it may be allowed reading material or food substances as rewards for good behaviour. SCP-XXXX should not be allowed unsupervised around foundation personnel.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an entity that exists solely as a memetic concept, manifesting as a conscious entity immediately after understanding its personality and character. Basic knowledge of SCP-XXXX's existence and abilities appears to not be sufficient for SCP-XXXX to manifest as an entity. SCP-XXXX regularly manifests via exposure to detailed dossiers regarding it and fiction with characters that heavily resemble or are based entirely off of it.
After manifesting as an entity, SCP-XXXX is able to take control of the person that comprehended it it, which will be hereafter referred to as the host for brevity. SCP-XXXX is able to fully control the bodily functions of the host, and the host will not have memory of SCP-XXXX's actions while it was controlling them. SCP-XXXX will be able to control its host until it is amnesticized.
SCP-XXXX is primarily based upon the knowledge the host has of it, as SCP-XXXX appears to only be able to remember events that the host learned it did or events the host personally witnessed. SCP-XXXX, while generally cooperative with foundation personnel, has proven ineffective at finding past references to itself for this reason.
References to SCP-XXXX as a concept have been dated back approximately 200 years, with the oldest discovered document that can cause an SCP-XXXX manifestation being published in 18██. Before containment, SCP-XXXX primarily manifested itself in artists and incorporated itself in works, probably as a means of self-preservation. Searches for artworks with information regarding SCP-XXXX in it is ongoing.
Addendum 1: Initial Recovery
SCP-XXXX was first discovered after Dr. ████ Wolfe, currently being affected by an SCP-XXXX manifestation, entered Site-██ and requested to speak with Containment Specialist ████ █. Bundy. Upon meeting with her, he revealed his nature to her and requested to be contained immediately. Found upon Dr. Wolfe's person was a document written by SCP-XXXX containing a brief history of itself and an explanation of how it manifests itself.
After being amnesticized, Dr. Wolfe returned to normal. Investigation has revealed that Dr. Wolfe had been observing various novels by the author ████ █████, and had found SCP-XXXX as a recurring character inside of them.
Addendum 2: Interviews
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX, manifesting in Dr. Wolfe
Interviewer: Researcher ████ Halbert
<Begin Log>
SCP-XXXX: Heyo, ████! I bet you weren't expecting this, huh?
Researcher Halbert: Ahem, no I wasn't.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, I've gotta be throwing you off. Wolfe, got a lot of brains, but damn he's a wet blanket. Anyway, you'd better get to containing me. Who knows, if you delay, I might start infecting everyone here.
Researcher Halbert: Yeah, that's why we have guards there.
SCP-XXXX: Good that you're taking this seriously. Has Miss Bundy already written up a set of procedures yet? We'd better get that done as soon as possible.
Researcher Halbert: We're working on that, yes, we're just going to try to figure out a bit more about you before we amnesticize Wolfe.
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, a Class A should do it. Wait, no, he was already reading about me by then. Make it a Class B and he'll probably forget the whole thing.
Researcher Halbert: We've got a couple of questions we'd like to ask you while me get an amnesthiologist in here. First being: How in the world did you manage to possess Dr. Wolfe?
SCP-XXXX: Didn't I put that in the document? They must've confiscated that thing already. Okay, so my last host, a Mr. ████ █████, had written me into his works. I was usually a minor character, so I didn't really affect many people, but Wolfe was an obsessive. Seriously he was practically inhaling these books. Well, when you figure out who I am in a sense, I'm able to take over.
Researcher Halbert: I see. So we'll have to look through █████'s books too…
SCP-XXXX: I'm pretty sure if you just stop pressing his least popular ones nobody'll figure me out. Those are usually the ones that have the most on me.
Researcher Halbert: Alright. And how many people have you possessed like this?
SCP-XXXX: Honestly, I've lost count. I lose a little bit of memory each time I hop from person to person, so I can't remember where I started.
Researcher Halbert: Okay so-
Security Officer █. Rea.: Hey, Halbert. The amnesthiologist is outside. You need to wrap this up.
Researcher Halbert: One last question. Why in the world did you come here? Shouldn't you be off trying to infect yourself somewhere?
SCP-XXXX: You all really think I'd do something like that? Figures, I suppose. That's what anomalies usually do, I guess. They really don't have any foresight, though. They don't see that the safest place they can be is right here.
Let me give you a little insight on what being idea-based is, I've had to work for the past hundred years to make sure I could survive. I had to make sure there was someone who would outlive my host who could re-discover me and bring me back to life. Then I'd have to start the process over again.
Well, here's the thing. This is my lucky break. No matter what happens, there'll always be a file on me. You all aren't the kind of people who'd intentionally lose me, that's not how this foundation works. No matter what happens, there'll always be a backup at Site-01 of my relevant information, and there'll probably be a file here too. No matter what I do, as long as I manage to stay on good terms with you all, I'll be safe here from being forgotten.
Anyway, looks like I've got an appointment. See ya.
SCP-XXXX stands up and proceeds to follow the guards
