(site number designation unknown)( site purpose research)
day 1
may 1
log 1: We have started building a base around the asteroid crash site. If we have more funding we could finish Construction faster. The readings were getting from this asteroid are of the charts. We may be able to use this to contain anomaly's. (end of log)
day 20
2019 May 25
log 2: We are almost done making a dome around the Asteroid. The staff and guard's have been reporting sleepless nights. The wildlife and fauna have been avoiding this place. It is almost like there scared of this place or the asteroid. (end of log)
day 26
2019 May 31
log 3: We have finished making the dome around it. We have began making quarters for the staff and guard's. We will require more funding to keep building a facility here. (end of log)
day 46
2019 June 20
log 4: We have finished construction on this site. We will begin testing as soon on the Asteroid as the equipment arrives. (end of log)
day 56
June 30
log 5: Test 1 was a complete failure. We have also had 5 staff members have mental breakdowns. We are investigating it as I write this. I also believe we could move safe class anomalys and objects here. The asteroids readings are remaining stable with a slow rise. (end of log)
day 80
2019 July 24
log 6: I am requesting more security guards. We had a incident more info on the incident report. I suggest you make this a restricted area or at least try to. Also i cannot stress this enough if the chaos insurgency gets a hold of this there is no telling what they can do with it because we don't even know everything it can do. Also the staff members that had mental breakdowns had no history of it neither a family history of them. (end of log)

2019 June 25
Test log 1: Asteroid strength and durability. We will use a high power laser drill to see how durable and strong the asteroid is. Test 1 results: The high power laser drill seems to have done nothing to the Asteroid. (end of test log)
day 81
2019 July 25
Test log 2: normal cat toys,people and things affect on Horacio.1 laser pointer:Horacio ignored it.2 a mice:Horacio caught it in 10 seconds and devoured it in 2 seconds.3 people:We had 2 guards in there Horacio acted playful and kind.We let the guards play with Horacio with toys and all of it.Horacio seemed to trust them enough to let them rub her belly.4 catnip: Horacio started tearing everything in there cell apart. It got to the point we had to go in there and restrain Horacio. (end of test log)

Item #: SCP - xxxx
Object class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
All cases of SCP - xxxx are to be kept in a secure containment unit on site-██, isolated from all items that use electricity.
If there is a breach in containment and a potential threat of SCP - xxxx hijacking any nearby devices a targeted ElectroMagnetic-Pulse (EMP) should be triggered surrounding SCP- xxxx's containment facility as to stop its rapid spread.
Description:
SCP - xxxx is a computer based virus that is observed to rapidly spread when in close contact with another device(s).
After monitoring SCP - xxxx's common whereabouts we have decided that its final destination often seems to be a common traffic light, often on a well used road in a highly populated city. We believe that SCP-xxxx's choice of location is based on how easily it can transfer to another device. This has since been confirmed due to Incident-███.
When encountering a case of SCP-xxxx that has hijacked a traffic light (SCP-xxxx-1) the light on your side will always be green, wether you are a driver or just a walking pedestrian. However all reports of SCP-xxxx-1 show that the victims can never see someone coming the opposite way. This seems to be how SCP-xxxx-1 harms people. It leads a car and a passenger into the road together where neither party can see each other and causes them to collide. All corpses created by instances of SCP-xxxx-1 cannot be seen until SCP-xxxx-1 is taken away from the traffic system using procedure-███
Note: several instances of SCP-xxxx-1 have been found, this is believed to be the result of the way it spreads, A team of researchers at site-███ have been deployed to keep watch over highly populated areas for anymore instances of SCP-xxxx-1.

Discovery of SCP-xxxx
The first discover of SCP-xxxx was made by a roadside of engineer by the name of ███ ████. On the day of the discover he was working on the roads of ███, after reports of the traffic lights at a commonly used junction not functioning properly.
After the first investigation of SCP-xxxx,███ was taken into custody and interviewed.
Interviewed: Roadside engineer
Interviewer: DR ███
<Begin Log, [18:20, 16/04/███]
DR ███: "please start with your name, age and occupation"
███: " ███ ███, 34, Roadside engineer"
DR ███: "please state what happened in the time leading up to your first encounter with the anomaly"
███: " Oh god, where do I start… Well it was a fairly ordinary day for me, I was out monitoring all the security cameras on the main road and doing routine checks on the roadside equipment. Then I got a report that there was a traffic light not working as expected so I went to investigate"
DR ███: "sorry but for the record, earlier on today when we took you in, you were muttering something about missing people and that you must tell their families that you found them, do you mind explaining?"
███: "Ah yes, recently there had been a massive jump in missing people around the city, people thought it was another crazed murderer understandably…"
DR ███: "Thank you, please proceed with your recount."
███: "So when I arrived at the traffic light in question I did my routine checks, you know: check the buttons are working as usual; check that the sensors and timers are functioning as intended; etc.
I went to put out my signs at the end of the road to stop incoming traffic, I suppose its a good thing I did as what I was greeted with when I shut down the traffic lights was…well…horrible. The bodies of all the missing people lay there on the cross road. As if they just appeared. Just thinking about it makes me sick to the core. Mangled as if thousands of cars had driven over them without realising. I just managed to call the police before I passed out."
DR ███: "Thank you, that will be all"
<End Log, [18:40, 16/04/███]>
Closing Statement:
The engineer has since been given a class-A amnestic and has been given a new life as a tour guide in ███. All items carried on his person at the time of the incident have been destroyed or contained to stop unnecessary spread of SCP-xxxx.

Rumsfeld during a Pentagon news briefing in February 2002
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
A constant monitoring of the internet must be carried out to prevent any spread of SCP-XXXX. No occurrence of SCP-XXXX on global video platforms has been noticed since June 2015.
Regular and thorough scans of large datacenters across the world must be carried out to identify any copy of SCP-XXXX. No copy of SCP-XXXX has been identified on a scanned server since July 2017.
Although containment measures hereabove were met with success it is not possible to conclude that SCP-XXXX is fully contained, as a complete scan of all information storage units on the planet, be they digital or analog, was deemed too costly.
Copies of SCP-XXXX are kept on a secure server as well as on magnetic tapes at Site-167 Antimemetics Division headquarters.
Description: [Paragraphs explaining the description]
SCP-XXXX is a 45 second video.
The first 25 seconds of the video are the answer given by former U.S. Defense Secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld, to a journalist question during a Feburary 12th 2002 press briefing.
The content of these first 25 seconds was fairly well known to a general audience in the 2000's. Beyond the role it played in the rationale leading to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, it helped popularize the expression "unknown unknowns".
Here is a transcript of Donald Rumsfeld answer to the journalist question:
"As we know there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know."
After 25 seconds, SCP-XXXX deviates from the original footage. Instead of continuing to answer the journalists questions, Donald Rumsfeld stares intently at the camera. He remains silent. Background noises have stopped. Instead, a continuous humming can be heard.
This second sequence lasts for 20 seconds. After 20 seconds the screen turns black and the video ends.
Viewing SCP-XXXX causes a strong antimemetic effect in the affected subject. As with other similar antimemes (including those liable to cause ED-K-Class Lethe Scenarios), it will cause the subject to forget a concept. In the case of SCP-XXXX the supressed concept is that of "ignorance".
The affected subject will no longer be able to comprehend, use or verbalize the concept of "ignorance". More specifically, if asked a question on a topic he/she doesn't know, the subject will faithfully provide an anwser, to the best of his/her ability, but will not be able to realize or be convinced the anwser is incorrect, whatever the amount of proof is provided.
Similarly, if a subject is prompted to carry out an action he doesn't master, he will try to perform the action, with a total confidence in his ability to do so successfully. Objective failure will have no effect whatsoever on his belief that he is able to perform the action successfully.
Without supervision, consequences become rapidly disatrous for the subject.
Tests were conducted to assess the exact magnitude of the antimemetic effect:
Test A - October 13th 2014
Interviewed: D-73062
Interviewer: level-3 Researcher Mark Petraeus of Antimemetics Division
Foreword: Subject has been exposed to SCP-XXXX
<Begin Log>
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Hello D-73062, I hope the electrods do not annoy you too much. We are going to have you undergo an electroencephalogram during the test.
D-73062 : That's alright, for sure the sticky thing your nurse has spread on my skull is gonna go away.
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Yes, do not worry, it will go away just fine with shampoo. It will improve conductivity to the electrods. That way we will better pick up electrical signals from your brain. I am going to ask you questions I want you to answer as well as you can. You're ready?
D-73062 : Shoot.
Researcher Mark Petraeus : What is the name of the American state, just north of Oregon.
D-73062 : Whashington. (correct answer)
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Which team won the Superbowl for season 2011?
D-73062 : The Giants. (correct answer)
Researcher Mark Petraeus : What about season 1996?
D-73062 : The Dallas Cowboys. (incorrect answer, the Green Bay Packers actually won)
Researcher Mark Petraeus : According to the latest estimates, what is the population of the Chinese city of Shenyang in Liaoning province?
D-73062 : 33,234. (incorrect answer, esimated population as of date is about 6,331,000)
Researcher Mark Petraeus : What are the first five verses of the epic poem Beowulf, in the translation of your choice?
D-73062 : immediately answers
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it went in the bush
(incorrect answer, D-73062 has actually quoted "The road not taken", a famous poem by Robert Frost many American pupils learn, the last line is furthermore wrong as the actual poem reads "To where it bent in the undergrowth" and not "To where it went in the bush".
For SCP staff keen on Old-English literature here are the actual first five verses of Beowulf in Francis B. Gummere translation:
Lo, praise of the prowess of people-kings
of spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,
we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!
Oft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes,
from many a tribe, the mead-bench tore)
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Thank you D-73062, that will be all for today. We are going to take away the EEG device and we will bring you back to your cell.
D-73062 : Alright doc, I liked the questions, ready to do it again whenever you want doc.
<End Log>
Analysis: Electroencephalogram analysis does not show significant differences in brain signals between questions, whether they were answered correctly or not. Significantly, reaction time during the last two difficult questions was not longer from the first ones. Not knowing the right answer does not seem to have slowed down the subject stream of thoughts.
Closing Statement: Test confirms that SCP-XXXX causes affected subjects to answer any question with the same speed and apparent confidence, wether they know the actual answer or not. They will make their answer as coherent as possible with the question, quoting a poem when prompted to do so or a plausible number for a city population size.
Test B - October 14th 2014
<Begin Log>
Researcher Mark Petraeus : So here we are for a second round of questions. No EEG this time.
D-73062 : Always happy to be out of the cell you know.
Researcher Mark Petraeus : What's the name of the 14th president of the United States?
D-73062 : Lincoln.
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Sorry D-73062, it's Franklin Pierce.
D-73062 : It's Lincoln !
Researcher Mark Petraeus : You didn't know that, that happens.
D-73062 : He looks puzzled
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Look at that list of American presidents on Wikipedia. Pierce is 14th, Lincoln 16th.
D-73062 : Relaxes I get it! It' Wikipedia, anybody can change a page out of sheer mischief. The joke is on you Doc! And Lincoln is 14th! he starts laughing
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Alright but look if I do a Google search on Lincoln. He opens a tab on his browser for each search result. Here they say 16th… And here 16th… There 16th again…
D-73062 : Looks disturbed Oh, that's a joke. I get it! You set me up, that's part of the test to check my reaction. You doctored the pages. I didn't fall off the turnip truck you know!
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Ah you got me! Well done D-73062. The test was meant to see if you would fall for it, but you passed. Lincoln was indeed the 14th U.S president.
D-73062 : looks relieved
Researcher Mark Petraeus : I will not keep you longer. Someone will escort you back to your cell for some rest.
D-73062 : Well that was short.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Test confirms that when confronted with his ignorance, subject will interpret the situation so as to evade the very possibility of him being ignorant. Moreover, words implying ignorance such as "You didn't know that" seem to disorient him.
Test C - October 15th 2014
<Begin Log>
Researcher Mark Petraeus : This time no more questions D-73062, it will be a practical test. You know how to pick a lock on handcuffs? Mark Petraeus shows D-73062 a pair of standard Smith & Wesson handcuffs and a metal lockpicker.
D-73062 : Sure I know how to do it.
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Perfect, so here it is what I am going to ask you to do. You are free to refuse to do it. Security Officer Hassan here is going to bring you down this container (Pertraeus shows a large metal box, about 6*6*10 feet, a large porthole is on the front side of the container). At the bottom of the container a chain is fastened. Officer Hassan is going to handcuff you to this chain. You will just have to pick the handcuffs lock and free yourself to pass the test.
Researcher Mark Petraeus : And now I get to the best part for you. If you succeed we will halve the time you owe to the Foundation, you'll get an individual cell, and you will have a larger access to Class-D staff entertainment infrastructures: gym, library, TV room…
D-73062 : I'm all in Doc!
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Wait a minute, there is one last thing. The container will be filled with water little by little. The water will reach your airways within 10 minutes. So you have to free yourself before that. You think you can do it?
D-73062 : No problem Doc!
Office Hassan leads D-73062 down the container by way of the ladders on the inside and on the outside. He fastens the handcuffs to D-73062 left wrist and fastens the other ring to the chain at the bottom of the container. He gives D-73062 the metal lockpicker and exits the container
Researcher Mark Petraeus : Speaking louder so that D-73062 can hear him D-73062 are you ready? We are going to start the test. Remember you have 10 minutes to free yourself and get out of the container. Water will fill it up from the bottom.
D-73062 : If my shoes get drenched you'll owe me an new pair Doc! Let's start, cannot wait to get the perks!
Mark Petraus pushes a button on the right side of the container porthole. A clicking sound can be heard. Through the porthole, D-73062 can be seen fiddling with the handcuffs lock, handling the lockpicker with his free hand.
The water level starts going up. One minute into the test it has reached D-73062 calves. He doesn't seem alarmed and continues to pick the lock.
Water has reached D-73062 knees. He does not lose his composure.
D-73062 needs now to keep the chain fully extended to keep the handcuffs out of the water. Very soon the lock will be covered in water. Subject is unfazed and keeps working on the lock.
The water level has reached D-73062 neck. He seems disturbed by the water swirls that prevent him from seeing well what he is doing with the lockpicker.
D-73062 has now water up to the chin which he keeps up in order to keep his airways free, consequently he is forced to pick the lock without seeing what he is doing.
The subject can no longer breathe. However he continues his task with the same energy.
It has been two minutes since D-73062 could take his last breath. Subject starts convulsing and soon after remains motionless. Researcher Mark Petraeus triggers the container emptying mechanism.
Security Officer pulls subject out of the container by way of a hoist. D-73062 is declared.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Test confirms that when prompted to do a task he doesn't master, subject will perform it without being able to realize failure or inadequacy of efforts deployed.
Conclusion of tests: SCP-XXXX completely suppresses conceptualization of ignorance in the subject. No further test seems necessary to conclude that any person affected by SCP-XXXX will rapidly cause irreparable self-harm to himself or others.

| Item #: SCP-XXXX |  |
Object Class: Euclid |
| Level 2 Clearance | Threat Level: Orange ● |
An instance of SCP-#### (author's name censored.)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-#### is to be contained in a 6m² holding cell requiring a Level 3 or higher security keycard for entry. All instances of SCP-#### are to remain stored within a 2m² metal safe with aluminum walls at least half a meter thick on all sides, which must be kept in the center of the cell and only be unlockable via a six-digit code that can be obtained from Dr. Lucien Durand. In order to ensure the contents within the safe hasn’t changed, the safe must also feature a scale weighing the contents inside. If said scale measures anything above or below 21.36kg, it is to be reported to senior staff immediately.
Any personnel who come into direct contact with SCP-#### are to immediately undergo a psychiatric evaluation and are prohibited from interacting with any instances of SCP-#### again for a minimum two-week period. Under no circumstances are any personnel permitted to open or read the contents of SCP-#### without prior authorization by Dr. Durand. Any personnel who fail to adhere to this precaution are reassigned to Class E, then administered amnestics as deemed necessary.
Any instances of SCP-####-1 are to be destroyed. Anyone who is exposed to SCP-####-1 is to be administered Class B amnestics.
Description: SCP-#### is a black hardcover book that is 162 pages thick. The book's cover features an illustration of a humanoid figure wearing a yellow cloak, with a pair of red feathered wings sprouting from its back and a red halo present around its head. Printed in large white text above said illustration is the book's title: The King in Yellow.
Subjects that remain within a two-meter range from SCP-#### for more than one minute begin to feel compelled to read the book, a feeling which grows exponentially the longer they stay within range. The compulsion grows at a much faster rate if the subject makes direct eye contact with the book, and seems unable to take their eyes off of it until they give into the urge. If eye contact is forcefully broken and the subject is moved out of the effect’s range, the compulsion gradually wanes, with most cases having it cease completely after two weeks. In severe cases, Class B amnestics have been administered.
The writing within the book itself details a three-act play, though anyone who reads the play develops a severe aversion to the book, especially after completing Act I. At the same time, they are often compelled to continue reading the rest despite their expressed reluctance in doing so. Anyone who reads the entire play begins to exhibit symptoms of psychosis shortly thereafter.
Usage of Class B amnestics have proven effective in treating the psychological effects that SCP-#### has on people, however that doesn’t save individuals who have read the entire play from its anomalous effects. No matter what class of amnestics were administered to subjects, they still somehow recall the play and enter a psychotic state immediately upon viewing an odd symbol that appears to them somewhere in their daily life. This symbol, which exposed individuals have referred to as "the Yellow Sign", is believed by Foundation researchers to be an extension of SCP-####’s anomalous properties, and as such is classified as SCP-####-1.
Little is known about SCP-####-1, other than how it affects people who are exposed to it. Individuals who have read SCP-#### are aware of the existence of SCP-####-1, and have reported seeing it appear to them in multiple different mediums, including in places it couldn't have been before. SCP-####-1 has appeared even to subjects who had Class E amnestics administered to them, who not only recognized the symbol immediately upon viewing it, but recalled all memory of SCP-####.
When someone who has read SCP-#### sees SCP-####-1, the reaction will vary by the individual, though they will always express taking it as “a sign of his coming.” When someone who has not read SCP-#### sees SCP-####-1, they develop an unnatural obsession with determining the meaning of the symbol, which always leads them to seeking out or somehow discovering an instance of SCP-####. Subjects who are exposed to SCP-#### or SCP-####-1 may feel compelled to recreate SCP-####-1, but any of their attempts to do so must be thwarted in any way possible to prevent potential breaches in containment. Even so much as a drawing made from a description of SCP-####-1 is enough to trigger its anomalous effects, and as such, any written descriptions of SCP-####-1 are strictly forbidden.
On top of the psychological effects of SCP-####, every person who has read the play has either died or disappeared without a trace, under circumstances which the Foundation was able to link to at least ██ other similar cases around the world. While some of those deaths were suicides, the majority of deaths were caused by cardiac arrest or murder. Every case of cardiac arrest or murder showed signs of forced entry into the victim’s home, while some of the disappearances and even suicides also showed similar signs of forced entry. Forced entry was always through a door, with the door’s hinges, locks, and other metal components rusted until they fell apart. In a number of those cases, there was an additional corpse on the scene, which had no known connection to the victim and appeared to have been dead for weeks or even months before the victim’s death.
Object History: The SCP Foundation first discovered SCP-####’s anomalous properties after the book developed an infamous reputation among headlines and reviewers in March of 1920. The book quickly spread from New York to the rest of the world, including major cities such as London and France. After an investigation headed by the Foundation indicated a link between the book and thousands of patients being admitted into insane asylums, the book was seized from all outlets which distributed it and a recall was issued. A large majority of the books recovered by the Foundation were successfully destroyed via burning, though a number of copies were kept in order to conduct further research on the anomaly.
The source of this anomaly has yet to be uncovered, though the supposed author of the book, █████ ██████ ███████, committed suicide three months after the book was published, according to death records for the city of New York. All research the Foundation has conducted into finding the cause of the anomalous effects of SCP-#### have yielded no results.
Currently, there are ██ existing instances of SCP-#### known to the Foundation, all of which are contained within Site-██. Despite the Foundation's best efforts to recover as many instances of SCP-#### as possible, more of them keep cropping up even now, making it difficult to ascertain just how well the Foundation has contained this anomaly.
Addendum ####-A: In one of the initial tests conducted by Foundation researchers, one scientist suggested that they try putting a thick sheet of metal between SCP-#### and a test subject in an attempt to block its psychological effects to those near it. Out of the ten different metals they tested, aluminum showed to cut off the effect almost completely, and has since been implemented into containment procedures.
Addendum ####-B: Some of the Foundation’s research scientists hypothesized that SCP-#### may be capable of relocating itself near individuals who have been exposed to SCP-####-1, and have asked containment specialists to add a scale to weigh the inner contents of SCP-####’s safe to ensure no instances of it go missing. So far, there has been no proof of this occurring, and the weight has gone unchanged since the scale’s implementation.
Addendum ####-C: As of [REDACTED], any personnel believed to have read the entirety of SCP-#### are to be terminated in order to avoid [REDACTED]. See Incident Report ####-Alpha for more information.

Item #: SCP-5545
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5545 is contained in a humanoid containment cell at Research Site-███. Where it is to be kept in a medically induced coma except for testing and interview during which it is to never leave its cell. While SCP-5545 is comatose an IV provides it with round the clock nutrients. SCP-5545 is to be X-rayed and put through an MRI machine after each test and interview to check for changes to its physicality. SCP-5545's cell must be thoroughly inspected before and after each time it is active. Guards monitoring SCP-5545 are equipped with 2 reality anchors and visors that negate cognitohazards as well as dart rifles filled with tranquilizer darts. All test proposals must be submitted to the head researcher of Site-███: Dr.█████████. Under no circumstances is SCP-5545 to bear witness to any humanoid SCPs.
Description: SCP-5545 is a teenage male approximately 1.6 meters tall and 160 pounds. Upon inspection, SCP-5545 appears to contain no anomalous properties. However, SCP-5545 can affect a person or object's "properties". The SCP describes this ability using similar terms to that of Object-Oriented Programming. SCP-5545 describes every living and inanimate thing as an "Object". It claims every object has properties and values which define a person or objects traits. SCP-5545 can change and manipulate these properties at will, and sometimes not. The subject has described the use of his ability as seeing a cascade of "file trees with context menus", not dissimilar to a computer file system.
SCP-5545 has described and demonstrated such changes several times during its time with the Foundation. Within moments of laying eyes on a person, it can make the subject: taller, shorter, or change the subjects' skin color. SCP-5545 can only affect objects it can visibly see. It has also shown a proclivity to change the properties of inanimate objects such as making doors unlocked or beds more comfortable. However; it can only change the properties that It has seen or experienced before. This is especially true for living beings. SCP-5545 cannot make a change to humans without experiencing a human with that trait. (See Addendum: Test Log 1, and 2). When it comes to inanimate objects, however; It appears to have more control to manipulate their properties. It demonstrated by making one of the chairs in its containment cell intangible while having never experienced something that could be phased through. (See Addendum: Test Log 3:)
The subject has the capability to affects the mental "values" of any sentient subject. It claims to be able to do this by changing the levels of a person's coherency and lucidity. This makes SCP-5545 a substantial cognitohazard to Foundation staff. Though SCP-5545 can change the cognitive traits of individuals; it appears to cause a significant amount of focus. It appears that SCP-5545 must concentrate to use its abilities effectively. SCP-5545 has trouble with such concentration due to a hesitation to use his abilities that came about during the events that caused it to appear on the Foundations radar, and trauma sustained during its capture. (See Interview 1)
Addendum: Recovery notes:
Foundation became privy to SCP-5545's when a local newspaper reported unusual happenings on two separate occasions. The first was unconfirmed reports of an overweight high school student completing the 100-meter dash faster than that schools track and field star. While this did pique the interest of nearby embedded foundation agents; it was not enough to warrant an investigation. Two days later, however; the Foundation intercepted radio chatter detailing an event in which an entire classroom was struck blind with one student missing. Police on the frequency named the missing student as 10th grader Leonard █████████. Immediately Dr.████████ mobilized alongside her task force: Mobile Task Force Psi-9 also known as "The Welcome Wagon". Psi-9 activated and geared up in low-profile loadouts armed with Foundation standard handguns, civilian clothes manufactured with a bulletproof carbon resistant weave, and a syringe filled with a strong sedative. Dr.████████ was convinced that she could bring it in this without alerting the remainder of the town.
Tracking Leonard using his phone's GPS locator led Psi-9 to a local diner where Dr.████████ and strike team member ████████ Vega, codename: "Freud" first encounter SCP-5545. Freud spotted the young man at the counter sitting next to a college-aged male in a leather jacket. Dr.████████ attempted to approach the anomaly but was grabbed by Freud and pulled into a nearby booth. When Dr.████████ attempted to object Freud pointed that the jacket the man next to SCP-5545 was wearing had two patches: the symbol of the GOC (Global Occult Coalition), and a blood-red Maltese Cross. The Blood Red Cross is a strike team on loan to the GOC from the reformed Holy Order of the Knights Templar which the Foundation has fought with on numerous occasions and it appeared that they had set their eyes on SCP-5545. The Blood Red Cross specifically is known for their hatred of the Foundation and tend to destroy anomalies on sight. SCP-5545 then demonstrated its ability to the man by appearing changing the contents of the glass in front of it; the man's demeanor appeared to change from curiosity to disappointment. The Templar then looked over his shoulder and instantly spotted and recognized the two as Foundation personnel and began trying to convince the anomaly that it was in danger and needed to come with him. The man stood up and attempted to lead SCP-5545 out of the back door.
Freud and Dr.████████ attempted to give chase when three more GOC Templars entered the diner from the front door. Before Dr.████████ could reach the door the GOC opened fire upon the two personnel, but before the soldiers could get a clear shot; Freud grabs Dr.████████ and leaps out of the window. Now in front of the diner, they land in the path of SCP-5545 and the young GOC agent where Freud and Dr.████████ are now blocking the way to the GOCs' Recovery vehicle. Freud Draws his pistol while the anomaly and soldier turn around and attempt to run in the other direction. Freud and Dr.████████ immediately give chase, and Freud manages to land a shot into the shoulder of the fleeing GOC agent. SCP-5545 then turns around and holds out his hand. It yells for Freud to stop chasing them, and suddenly a loud snapping sound is heard. Freud falls onto the ground appearing to have become paraplegic in an instant; SCP-5545 appears to be horrified by what just happened. Dr.████████ continues to chase SCP-5545; Freud dies in the process of fending off the other GOC agents.
The remaining Psi-9 operatives converge on Dr.████████ position on the outskirts of town when they catch up to SCP-5545. The younger GOC operative senses that he is backed into a corner and outnumbered. He grabs the SCP and takes him hostage holding a handgun to its head. The agent begins to claim that his mission is to "kill him if he can't take him in". Dr.████████ walks toward them and tells the agent that he won't kill SCP-5545. When the agent asks her why she says, "You already called it 'Him'". The agent hesitates and releases SCP-5545. SCP-5545 appears to turn its focus on one of the foundation agents' weapons; the firearm begins to glow red hot. The ammo inside the weapon begins to cook-off, plus the heat of the metal causes that agent to drop his weapon. Before SCP-5545 can focus his attention on another agent a member of Psi-9 injects SCP-5545 and takes it into custody.
As Psi-9 is about to take the GOC agent into custody the GOC agents from the diner arrive firing upon Foundation agents. The young Templar goes prone and Psi-9 takes off with minimal casualties. As Dr.████████ escapes with the SCP as the gunfire died down, she hears yelling from behind them, and she hears what she describes as loud thuds and shouting. Foundation personnel makes it to the containment vehicle and the mission is deemed a success. The Town and is subjected by the Foundation to an amnestic radio broadcast while SCP-5545s' parents are given class B amnestic and restructuring. While students were given a story about a freak lightning strike blinding SCP-5545s class.
**Test Log 1 **
Subject: SCP-5545
Procedure-1: SCP-5545 is roused by Dr.████████. D class D-24901, a man 2.01 meters tall is brought into the cell. SCP-5545 is asked to make the subject shorter.
Results: D-24901 begins to shrink. His proportions becoming more akin to that of someone who is less than 1.6 meters in height. This is accompanied by D-24901 crying out in pain and eventually collapsing from the pain of his bones fracturing and compacting to accommodate this change. SCP-5545 looks away covering its ears from the screams. D-24901 one is removed from the testing chamber and SCP-5545 is then sedated.
Analysis: It appears as though SCP-5545 can only make easy changes to traits that do not require anatomical restructuring. In that same line of thinking it appears that SCP-5545 cannot warp reality as it must adhere to the law of conservation of mass. This is evident in SCP-5545 not being able to take the bone away, but rather compact the bone.
Test Log 2
Subject: SCP-5545
Procedure: After SCP-5545 is awoken a monitor is wheeled in and SCP-5545 is subjected to the entirety of David Cronenberg's The Fly. Once the film concludes D-24902 is brought into the testing chamber. SCP-5545 is asked to turn the D-class subject into the creature from the end of the film.
Results: SCP-5545 attempts to refuse, saying it doesn't want to hurt anyone. Dr.████████ tells SCP-5545 to just see if some values or properties could cause that kind of transformation. SCP-5545 begins to concentrate; staring at D-5545 for approximately a full minute before giving an exasperated sigh. He then turns to Dr.████████ and says "I can't find that value". Testing is then concluded with the D-class being returned to his cell, and SCP-5545 is once again sedated.
Analysis: Dr.████████ believes that this test was not pointless. She claims that while SCP-5545 was unable to mimic the monster from the film. It appears that SCP-5545 needs to see a physical representation of a state before attempting to copy those traits. Dr.████████ submits a proposal for SCP-5545 to come into contact with other anomalous humanoid entities. So far, her proposals to the site overseer council have been summarily rejected.
Test Log 3
Subject: SCP-5545
Procedure: Two chairs are brought into SCP-5545's containment cell. It is asked to make one chair lighter and the other unusable.
Results: SCP-5545 focuses on the first chair, and a small pile of sawdust begins to form on the ground underneath the seat. Dr.████████ instructs one of the SCP-5545's guards to pick up the chair. The guard remarks that the chair has to be less than 3.4 kilograms. When the guard attempts to put the chair down the simple downward momentum causes the chair to become no more than splinters. When SCP-5545 focuses on the second chair, and nothing appears to happen. When the guard attempts to pick up the chair his hand phases through the chair. SCP-5545 seems surprised by this, and when asked about it, SCP-5545 said he was scrolling through random properties and found one called "probability". SCP-5545 was then asked to return the chair to its proper form to which SCP-5545 obliged, all testing materials were removed from the chamber, and SCP-5545 was returned to a comatose state.
Analysis: Dr.███████ believes that both results demonstrate that SCP-5545 must adhere to the conservation of matter. In both instances, SCP-5545 was unable to change the mass of an object. When this idea was challenged by another researcher; Dr.████████ claimed that the matter was not gone, but that SCP-5545 showed a live instance of quantum tunneling.
Interview Log 1
Interviewed: SCP-5545
Interviewer: Dr.████████
Foreword: Dr.████████ Interviews SCP-5545 to help it process some of its trauma.
<Begin Log>
Dr.████████: Can you tell me about the two incidents at the school?
SCP-5545: two?
Dr.████████: There were more?
SCP-5545: Not big things, no, but every now and again I'd ring a bell a minute early, or sharpen a pencil. I never wanted to be discovered.
Dr.████████: Then why the track incident?
SCP-5545: Aaron told my best friend his ponytail made him look like a girl. My buddy was inconsolable for weeks, guy doesn't have any self esteem to begin with. It was just a value tweak; I didn't plan for the school newspaper to take it to the local news and so on.
Dr.████████: And the classroom inciden-
SCP-5545: I DON'T… want to talk about that…
Dr.████████: Why?
SCP-5545: Because it's my favorite memory- WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK?
Dr.████████: I know it's difficult, but you need to talk about the experiences in order to get through it.
SCP-5545: *At a whisper* I had a boner…
Dr.████████: What?
SCP-5545: You heard me, I had a boner! ████████████████ pointed it out to the whole class when I went to answer a question on the board. My heart started racing, everyone was laughing, and I just yelled for them… not to look at me…
Dr.████████: You caused a mass change without concentration?
SCP-5545: Yes, the same thing happened when you and that agent came out of the diner. It was like a reflex. The file opened directly to a property called activeLeg value equals 2.
Dr.████████: And?
SCP-5545:I changed it to zero.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-5545 asks to go back to sleep. Dr.████████ administers anesthetics, and SCP-5545 is rendered unconscious.

ARCHIVAL NOTICE
This document has been preserved for historical study; its contents have not been thoroughly revised since the dissolution of the SCP Foundation and may contain obsolete information. Previously redacted material has been denoted by dark blue lettering.
SCP-XXXX while holographically camouflaged.
Special Containment Procedures:
Unapproved documents detailing the relocation or construction of SCP-XXXX are to be purged upon discovery. Persons suspected of harboring information relevant to SCP-XXXX will be detained, questioned, and amnestisized.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is the front-half of a large spacefaring vessel engraved with the appellation "S.D.A. ████████2." On April 22, 1946, the anomaly arrived through a seasonal time-space rupture in Silverthorne, Colorado and crashed nearby. Initial investigation of the wreckage revealed that SCP-XXXX was constructed by a significantly advanced organization known as the Stellar Defense Alliance.
Neutralization Efforts:
The Stellar Defense Alliance opened a scheduled centennial communication with the Foundation on November 26, 2000, to prevent instances of timeline disruption. The following documentation is a transcription of the final conversation between parties and has been deemed safe for dissemination. All other specifics pertaining to the relocation of SCP-XXXX have been expunged from record and memory.

DATE: 06 Feb 2021 20:10
Special Containment Procedures: if an SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-1 copy is found, it is to be deleted. If any SCP-XXXX-A instances are found outside of Foundation custody, they are to be documented and then deleted. All successful AI projects are to be investigated for usage of SCP-XXXX, if it is discovered that the successful project was using SCP-XXXX, they are to be administered Class-C amnestic. Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, testing is performed by 2-3 personnel of level 2 or higher.
Description: SCP-XXXX was an online project belonging to the company Gargle and Future, it was accessible by the IP gargleandfuture.easyai.com. When someone goes into SCP-XXXX, they are greeted by a home page explaining what the project is and its goal. By clicking on the “Create my AI” button on the top right side of the screen, you are brought to a page asking you to type a description of the AI you want within a box in the center of the screen (henceforth called SCP-XXXX-1). Once the description is finished you can click on another “Create my AI” button directly underneath the box, this will bring you to a loading screen, and after 1-5 minites, SCP-XXXX creates an SCP-XXXX-A instance in the form of a computer file.
An SCP-XXXX-A instance is an AI, perfectly matching the description entered in SCP-XXXX-1 for that specific instance. Even though most SCP-XXXX-A instances would normally take up around 4-12 zettabytes (equal to 1,073,741,824 terabytes), SCP-XXXX-A instances will instead take up 4-12 gigabytes.
Addendum XXXX.A.01, Discovery of Object: SCP-XXXX was discovered in the year 2013 by the Foundation. As a result, the SCP foundation delivered Class-C amnestics to all Gargle and Future employees and downloaded SCP-XXXX to the Foundation database.

CAPTION-GOES-HERE
Item #: SCP-XXYY
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The Foundation is controlling all the paranormal and urban legend forums where potential victims of SCP-XXYY may be found. Any mention of a mystery user of the Deep Web giving links to websites about urban legends, and any incidents resembling haunting, that started after visiting those websites, are to be investigated immediately. People targeted by SCP-XXYY are to be given all necessary information and assistance to protect them from danger. Websites or accounts matching the pattern used by the entity are to be reported right away as malware distributors, so that administrators would remove them immediately.
In the meantime, research is ongoing to find an effective method of catching and containing SCP-XXYY. Because of demonic nature of the entity, Vatican authorities offered their help in this task.
Description: SCP-XXYY is rather non-corporeal entity whose appearance is currently unknown, possibly demonic in nature, hostile towards humans, exhibiting very aggressive behavior and using the Internet to find people, gain access to their houses, haunt it and later abduct the victims. It is currently unknown what happens to people who have already disappeared.
SCP-XXYY use urban legends to lure people, by contacting and making them enter the website made by the entity, always located in the so-called 'Deep Web', through a search engine similar to those usually used to enter there, but with a completely different name and overall design. The website always contains a lot of normally unknown information about a certain urban legend, often the evidence that is supposed to show that the legend is true. SCP-XXYY username is always connected with the legend that the targeted person is highly interested in. The general pattern is: the_[urban legend key-word]_truth; this name is found both in forum accounts, the e-mail address from which SCP-XXYY sends instructions to find the user on the Deep Web, along with the file to install the search engine, as well as in the Deep Web chat rooms, where the targeted person contacts SCP-XXYY and receives a link.
Anyone who installs a search engine sent by SCP-XXYY and enters the given website will begin experiencing strange events from 5 to 10 minutes afterwards. The events match those typically described as signs of being haunted by some invisible being: mainly strange noises, especially at night; shadows walking around the apartment; moving objects; lights in rooms turning off by themselves, etc. Typically, these events are most severe in the room where the computer was located when the person entered the website made by SCP-XXYY. Experiencing these events, most victims choose not to use the search engine to visit the website but regardless of that, the events will intensify with time, so that finally an inhuman roars can be heard in the selected room, along with sounds suggesting the demolition and scratching the walls, as if a wild animal was locked in there. After about 10 days the chosen victim mysteriously disappears. However, if the person keeps on visiting the website, the only difference is that the disappearance will happen faster, even after 5 days since the first exposure.
The search engine can be simply deleted from the computer, and this appears to cause SCP-XXYY to lose access to the victim and thus save the targeted person. However, the search engine may reappear on the computer after some time, and in such a scenario its very important to not open it and certainly not try to enter the website again, as this may cause a recurrence of events. Prayer seems to help in weakening them, but does not completely eliminate the danger. As for exorcisms intended to clear the apartment of evil forces, they only help if are performed by an experienced exorcist and usually must be carried out repeatedly, until all traces of SCP-XXYY's activity disappear. This seem to confirm the entity's demonic nature.
Addendum XXYY-001: Existence of SCP-XXYY has been discovered at the beginning of 2020, when one of the Foundation's agents was randomly checking out forum about urban legends and found posts warning about Deep Web user who contacts people, offering unknown information about a given urban legend. It also said that lot of people who came across this person and visited a website that he gave them link to, afterwards noticed strange events in their apartments, similar to being haunted by ghosts, and the hired medium always sensed a "demonic presence", therefore getting rid of it required an exorcist intervention, which helped affter at least 3 sessions. In addition, when agent investigated further, he found many mysterious disappearances with a similar sequence of events, leading to the discovery of SCP-XXYY.
Addendum XXYY-002: Since SCP-XXYY pose a serious threat to humans, finding affected people and the accounts or websites about urban legends made by the entity, are currently one of the most important tasks. Since SCP-XXYY is very likely demonic in nature, and religious practices seem to undermine its activities, therefore only deeply religious researchers are assigned to it and, while searching for the entity activities, are advised to be extremely careful. Also, as an additional safety measure, they are under the non-stop supervision of an experienced exorcist, sent from the Vatican, whose authorities are also very much interested in capturing this entity.
Addendum XXYY-003: One of the researchers assigned to SCP-XXYY, Dr. █████████, asked for permission to conduct a series of experiments with D-Class personel, which would give the opportunity to gather more information about SCP-XXYY, and maybe even facilitate in developing a way to catch and contain the entity.
