Item #: SCP-7104

Object Class: N/A (Safe Classification Pending)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7104 is non-existent, hence cannot be contained.

Description: SCP-7104 is the designation of a non-existent object. Meaning that SCP-7104 has never existed. Although SCP-7104 is the designation of a non-existent object, it manifests as a CD/DVD for a non-existent operating system called $#%e@ëFãOÑ and the version seemed to be 12.194994771838710038818939910387189992281737810100003181293009293818000183727839877889287616577101103983271788363778727718388278370001380988273551738388471639, a bootable USB for Windows 7, and a bootable floppy for Windows 1.01, food cans, computers, leaked betas and so on. While near it, the people will lose control even though they have protection. The longer they stay, the stronger the movement.

Hour 1

The person shakes at shake¹ 1 while they have full control.

Hour 2

The person shakes at shake 1.3 and they have a 7.19% chance of moving uncontrollably.

Footnotes

1. The intensity rate for shaking.

2. Foundation researchers were able to confirm through staff impersonation that this apartment was not occupied at the time of this experiment.

3. Despite no residents remaining at the complex, this document will continue to refer to each subunit of SCP-XXXX as "Apartment" for clarity's sake

4. Building 12 is indicated on official maps of [APARTMENT NAME] as containing Apartment 1234, and Buildings 11 and 13 are indicated as directly adjacent on the same maps

5. This apartment is the final number indicated in official blueprints of Building 12 at [APARTMENT NAME]

6. It is believed the third sign refers to an "Apartment -2216", rather than having a defect or typographical error in the hyphen

7. At this point in time, D-4782 had been waiting in the courtyard outside "Building 22" for about 5 minutes

Item #: SCP-5674

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:SCP-5674 is to be kept in a standard hermetically sealed glass container within a lead-lined containment cell. All staff entering SCP-5674's cell are to wear Level 3 Standard Radiation Equipment. SCP-5674 is to be kept in a lead-lined containment cell filled with water at all times. No humans shall be permitted within 30 meters of SCP-5674 except during testing approved by at least three site researchers and lead researcher Dr. Angela Williams. All testing involving SCP-5674-2 is to be approved by the O5 council.

Description: SCP-5674 is a solid diamond baseball, 2.86 inches in diameter. It contains a small projector at the base of a 1.6 inch deep by 2.3 inch thick groove on the back side of the baseball. The front side has the engraved signature of an individual named Trevor Lipinski.

SCP-5674 exhibits anomalous effects when in contact with any human. SCP-5674 will begin to emit a blue light from its projector. Approximately fifteen seconds later, SCP-5674 will emit a significant but currently not life-threatening amount of radiation. SCP-5674 increases radiation emissions with each activation. The source of the radiation is unknown and constitutes an anomalous effect on its own.

SCP-5674-Prime is a large, potentially infinite space consisting of what appears to be Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, in disrepair. If anything exists beyond the ballpark is unknown. Following Incident 5674/1 a portal to SCP-5674-Prime manifests invariably during activation of SCP-5674.

SCP-5674-2 is an anomalous white male human, believed to be Major League Baseball player Trevor Lipinski. Lipinski disappeared on January 8, 2019. SCP-5674-2 has exhibited extreme hostility and killed several foundation personnel in an apparent attempt to escape SCP-5674-Prime. While SCP-5674-2 has attempted to escape via the wormhole to SCP-5674-Prime, foundation personnel have successfully forced SCP-5674-2 back through the wormhole. This has prevented all further harm spare for D-class losses during controlled testing, at the cost of increasing SCP-5674-2's hostility.

Addendum: SCP-5674-Prime was first encountered during incident 5674/1. See Incident Log 5674/1 for details.

+ Incident Log 5674/1

Researcher: Dr. Angela Williams, Lead Researcher

Incident Type: Containment Breach

SCP-5674 INCIDENT LOG- TIMELINE

14:03 Alarm sounded, warning of containment breach at SCP-5674.

14:05 Foundation Personnel initially arive at SCP-5674's containment cell and discover all personnel within approximately 100 meters severely ill, appearing to be suffering from radiation sickness. At longer ranges symptoms were significantly reduced. Staff assisting with containment of another anomaly within the same site wing experienced mild symptoms within hours.

14:07 MTF Beta-7 "Maz Hatters", approved for use. Approximately thirty minutes ETA given to site administrators.

14:34 MTF Beta-7 "Maz Hatters" arrive.

14:36 MTF Beta-7 report wormhole, visible pocket dimension later designated SCP-5674-Prime.

14:39 MTF Beta-7 reports wormhole growing in size.

14:47 MTF Beta-7 makes contact with SCP-5674-2.

14:49 MTF Beta-7 reports "white male wielding baseball bat, wearing red baseball uniform. Subject has entered the containment chamber via wormhole."

14:50 MTF Beta-7 lose two members after massive internal mutilation following an attack by SCP-5674.

Note from Dr. Williams: It is currently believed that SCP-5674 may be wielding a bat either similar to or a duplicate of SCP-2398.

14:52 MTF Beta-7 successfully force SCP-5674-2 into wormhole.

14:53 MTF Beta-7 report wormhole closed. SCP-5674 recontained.

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.

Addendum 2:

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.

CAPTION-GOES-HERE

Special Containment Procedures: The [APARTMENT NAME] complex is to remain quarantined under the cover story that the building is an active public health hazard. All entrances to the complex are to be inspected weekly to ensure all barricades and locks are still in working order. If SCP-XXXX experiences a civilian intrusion, subjects will be detained and interrogated to identify potential links to GoIs, and amnesticized and released if no links can be found.

As of 10/05/2027, any further testing involving SCP-XXXX requires prior authorization from both the Ethics Committee and the Site Director. In the event that further testing is authorized, research teams must work off-site to prevent transfers of research materials from activating SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects.

If any D-Class apparel or standard Foundation medium-term exploration gear is found during any experimentation, all experiments are to be halted and Dr. [EXPUNGED] is to be contacted immediately.

Description: SCP-XXXX is the [APARTMENT NAME] complex, located in [REDACTED]. SCP-XXXX has selective reality-bending properties, where its structure and composition will become radically distorted to some observers while remaining unchanged to all others. According to experimental data (See Experiment Logs SCP-XXXX), SCP-XXXX’s reality bending effect specifically causes subjects entering the complex with the intent to deliver an object, idea, or service to a resident to be unable to find the residence they are attempting to deliver to. In other words, SCP-XXXX actively changes its layout to any deliverer so as to make their delivery impossible.

During testing, SCP-XXXX has demonstrated the following means to alter its configuration to an observer:
- Illogical/Non-sequential building layouts
- Misleading/Incomprehensible/Inconsistent signage
- Apartment numbers out of order/deliberately skipping numbers
- Extended hallways/staircases
- Fractional apartment numbers
- Escherian looping architecture
- Reality fractallisation and reduction
- [DATA EXPUNGED]

Despite the severity of some of these effects, all distortions appear to be localized entirely to the subject and have no effect on the baseline reality experienced by other residents of the complex.

While the pathway a subject may take towards their attempted destination may lead through extended segments of esoteric and non-euclidian architecture, it has been found in all nearly all cases that subjects choosing to abandon their delivery and leave the complex were able to do so relatively unimpeded.

Discovery: Foundation officials were alerted to the presence of a potential anomaly when automated scraper systems detected abnormal complaint rates from both residents of [APARTMENT NAME] and drivers for various delivery services, both annoyed with the inability of delivery services to complete assignments to the complex. Due to descriptions of potential anomalous phenomena being detected in some of the drivers' complaints (such as infinite hallways and maps changing between viewings), Foundation researchers were dispatched to conduct an initial investigation. After brief clandestine testing, Foundation researchers declared the site anomalous and initiated a takeover under “Black Mold” standard cover story.

Once the complex was vacated, further experimentation ensued to assist in understanding the constraints and parameters of the anomaly. Summarized logs of these experiments are included under Experiment Logs SCP-XXXX.

Experiment Logs SCP-XXXX:

+ Template for Experiments

Purpose: The goal of the experiment.

Procedure: The description of the experimental procedure, including personnel and equipment necessary.

Results: A detailed synopsis of the actual experiment.

Analysis: An assessment of the results of the experiment and resultant findings, as well as suggestions of future avenues of experimentation.

+ Experiment 1

Purpose: To establish the presence/absence and severity of an anomaly at [APARTMENT NAME]

Note: This experiment was conducted after Foundation discovery of the excessive complaints about deliveries to [APARTMENT NAME] to ascertain whether the site was anomalous and, if so, the potential severity of the anomaly.

Procedure: One Junior Researcher will attempt to deliver a parcel containing one red brick to Apartment 1111²

Results: Junior Researcher [REDACTED] located a map of the complex and reported to find Apt 1111 clearly marked within Building 11 in the Northwest section of the complex. Upon arrival at the indicated location of Building 11, [REDACTED] realized that this building was instead labeled "Building 10" and contained apartments 1000-1048. After no map could be found nearby, Researcher [REDACTED] searched for some time before locating a building labeled "Building 11". Entering the closest entrance, Researcher [REDACTED] was met with a nondescript hallway with apartment entrances staggered between both sides. At first, [REDACTED] experienced no anomalous phenomena within the hall, but upon passing Apt 1105 they realized each apartment was set further apart than the one before it. After noting a ████m distance between apartments 1108 and 1109, Researcher [REDACTED] was instructed to exit the complex, which they were able to accomplish by following their original path. During the return, [REDACTED] noted the same irregular intervals between apartments. Upon arriving back at the map they had originally consulted, they saw the map now indicated with an arrow that Apt 1111 was somewhere out of range of the map.

Due to the events described above, Foundation researchers declared the site anomalous and began the process of acquiring the site under the cover story it was infested with a pervasive black mold that presented an immediate health hazard to all residents and could not be cleaned without total vacancy.

Analysis: This experiment gives us plenty of ground for further testing, in particular regarding the anomaly's effect on the surrounding residents during one of these manifestations. Interestingly, the anomaly seems to not have a preference for whether there actually is a "recipient" for the delivery. This could prove handy for some long term testing, if this place ends up warranting it.

+ Experiment 2

Note: Due to the complex being under Foundation control, this experiment onwards used D-Class personnel as the "deliverer".

Purpose: To ascertain the effect of reality distortions experienced by a deliverer on surrounding individuals

Procedure: One D-Class personnel will attempt to deliver a parcel containing one red brick to Apartment 1234³. Junior and Senior researchers will be stationed within all apartments in buildings 11 through 13⁴ and attempt to visually monitor the D-Class personnel's progress through windows, peepholes, and direct observation, as necessary.

Results: The D-Class consults the main map at the front of the complex and informs researchers that Apartment 1234 is not located on the map. After consulting visual feed from the D-Class' body camera, researchers confirm that no apartment within the range of 1200-1299 exists anywhere on the map. However, a label in the upper edge of the map indicates a "Building 12" somewhere outside the range of the map. The D-Class advances towards this indicated area, and researchers in Buildings 11 and 13 indicate being able to visually observe the D-Class at expected times according to his reported location.

Upon reaching the area indicated by the map label as "Building 12", the D-Class reports a large building with a similar external style to the other apartment buildings that extends virtually infinitely to both sides, despite official blueprints indicating Building 12 should be a similar size to the other buildings in the complex. Finding a doorway, the D-class enters and encounters a hallway, and signage indicates that the building contains apartments 1200-12███.

As the D-Class advances, Foundation researchers within the first range of apartments report witnessing them pass at regular intervals, as expected. However, after Apartment 1221, they encounter a junction with signage indicating apartments 1222-1234 in one direction and 1235-12███ in the other. After brief deliberation, researchers instructed the D-Class to continue towards the destination of 1234, and they complied. Researchers within apartments 1224 began to notice the D-Class taking longer to reach each of their rooms, culminating in a ███ minute delay between the D-Class passing apartments 1230 and 1231.

After more deliberation and consideration that previous experimental results indicated the D-Class was very likely still recoverable at this point, researchers decided to abort the attempt to deliver the parcel in order to avoid a possible ethics violation. They directed the D-Class to advance back towards the entrance of the complex and to advance down the alternate path towards 1235-12███. During this retreat, the researchers in apartments 1231-1222 noted similar delays between witnessing the D-Class as their initial progression down the hallway.

Upon passing 1222, the D-Class began following the alternate hallway towards 1235, and was instructed to advance until they passed Apartment 1268 and report their observations⁵. Researchers in each apartment from 1235-1268 noted typical delays between witnessing the D-Class passing by. Upon reaching Apartment 1268, the D-Class found the hallway kept extending indefinitely, with Apartments 1269 and onward being visible upon initial inspection. The researcher in Apartment 1268 was then instructed to open their door and relay their observations. Upon exiting their apartment, the researcher was able to see the D-Class in front of them in the hallway; However, no deviations from the original blueprints could be recorded from the researcher's perspective, including additional apartments from 1269 onward. Additionally, when the D-Class advanced further in the hallway, the researcher indicated the D-Class visually appeared to walk directly through the wall, and could no longer be heard. After this brief experimentation, the main research team decided to conclude this line of testing and instructed the D-Class to exit the complex, which they were able to accomplish without issue or deviation from their original path.

Analysis: There's a lot to unpack about how this site distorts space. This test seems to indicate that the site actually maintains as much parity with baseline reality as possible, as if the subject is still experiencing baseline reality alongside the anomalous distortions. The most interesting result is that the site seems able to manifest entirely new structures outside of euclidean space. While it doesn't seem like subjects are being teleported somewhere else, the anomaly is still somehow presenting them with entirely extradimensional spaces which don't seem to affect anyone else. Further testing is certainly needed on this.

+ Experiment 3

Purpose: To ascertain what can satisfy the definition of "delivery" as it pertains to this anomaly, and ascertain the affects of the anomaly on multiple subjects.

Procedure: Two D-Class personnel will be given non-physical deliveries to Apartments 2222 and 3333, respectively. The first D-Class (D-4782) will be given information pertinent yet unknown to a researcher stationed in Apt 2222 and instructed to deliver this news to the researcher, while the second D-Class (D-8237) will be trained in basic plumbing maintenance and instructed to repair a toilet in Apt 3333, thus delivering a service to the apartment. If anomalous distortions manifest to both individuals, they are to meet after exploring their own anomalous effects to see the ways their effects correlate and differ.

Results: Note: For simplicity's sake, the events of both D-4782 and D-8237's attempted deliveries are relayed independently, despite both experiments occurring simultaneously.

D-4782 entered the complex first, finding Apartment 2222 indicated within Building 22 on the Northeast portion of the map. Advancing towards this location, they found multiple instances of fencing not indicated by the map. Upon arriving at the building, they found only one entrance, despite eight being clearly indicated on the blueprints for the complex. This entrance led into a small courtyard, with a set of stairs leading downwards into a metal door labeled "Building 22". Upon opening the doorway, D-4782 was greeted with more stairs leading down into a four-way intersection.

Within the intersection, D-4782 reported signage indicating the 3 pathways led to "2200-2210, 2211-2238, 2239—2216⁶", and they were instructed to progress through the middle hallway. As with previous tests, as the subject approached 2222, they found the distance between apartments increase, but unlike previous tests, a right angle turn was encountered after apartment 2217. After passing this turn, D-4782 reported that the hallway then forked vertically, with nearby signage indicating "2218-2238 above, 2250-2217 below". After some deliberation, researchers decided to attempt the "above" pathway first, and D-4782 was able to climb into and begin exploring this segment of the structure.

Apartments 2218 through 2221 were encountered only a few meters apart as expected, but D-4782 reported that the apartment directly after 2221 was labeled 2223, with no indication of 2222 being anywhere nearby. Deciding to attempt the other path instead, D-4782 advanced back to the vertical fork in the structure and took the "below" path, again finding that apartment 2222 was omitted in sequence despite all other apartments on the signage existing where indicated. D-4782 then proceeded further down this path towards Apt 2217, after which they reported that they had inexplicably returned to the original four way intersection, entering through what would have been the "left" path on their initial entry into the building. The researcher stationed within Apt 2222 was instructed to step out and report their immediate surroundings. As in Experiment 2, the researcher reported no deviations from the original blueprints of [APARTMENT NAME]. Due to their proximity to the building's exit, as well as the experiment already yielding useful data, D-4782 was ordered to proceed back up the stairs in the intersection and wait at the outer entrance of the courtyard for D-8237.

Concurrently with D-4782's exploration, D-8237 had identified Apartment 3333 within Building 33 on the complex map, and began advancing towards its position. Upon reaching the indicated location, they reported that the building was indeed marked 33, but signage indicated that Apartment 3333 was not within. A brief survey indicated that the signage was indeed correct, and D-8237 was then advised to check within the nearby area for another map, finding one a few meters away. On this map, Apartment 3333 was indicated to be within Building 50, a further 310m North of D-8237's current location. D-8237 then advanced to this location, only to again find that the building's signage did not indicate an Apartment 3333 was within. They were then instructed to return to the map they had recently consulted to verify the location of Apartment 3333.

After making their way back to the map, D-8237 informed the research team that Apartment 3333 was now shown to be within Building 10, on the Eastern side of the complex, and was instructed to advance there to confirm if the anomalous misdirection occurred again. As expected, when they reached Building 10, no Apartment 3333 could be found. A nearby map indicated Apartment 3333 within Building 22⁷, and researchers decided that they would proceed with the second phase of the experiment involving the two D-Class meeting for simultaneous observation of the site. D-8237 then advanced to the location indicated as Building 22, and reported that they also observed the building as a courtyard with a metal door recessed into the ground as the entrance, as well as observing D-4782 standing nearby.

At this point, researchers instructed both D-Class personnel to enter Building 22 again, keeping together until signage indicated that their delivery destinations were in separate directions. Upon descending the entrance stairwell, D-4782 reported that the intersection at the bottom was now merely a fork, and nearby signage indicated that the paths led to apartments 2222 and 3333 on one side, with the other path simply labeled "All others". Proceeding down the path with the desired delivery destinations, D-4782 and D-8237 both reported no apartments being present for a distance of ████m before arriving at another fork, this time with Apt 2222 and Apt 3333 on opposing sides of the fork. Researchers authorized the duo to split up and take the paths to their respective delivery destinations, , advising them to continue regularly reporting in after their split.

About 200m down their respective tunnels, both D-Class personnel reported seeing another person in the distance ahead. After being advised to take precaution but continue advancing, D-4782 realized they were actually seeing D-8237 walking towards them, and D-8237 soon after confirmed the same finding in reverse. The researchers then advised the duo to walk back towards their respective entrances again, and after a brief interval the D-Class met up again at the original fork. They were then advised to both attempt to navigate the path to Apt 2222 without splitting. After ████m with no discernible markings on the walls of the hallway, the researchers decided to end the experiment and recall D-4782 and D-8237. Despite walking a considerable distance, both D-Class found their way back and were able to exit the structure safely after some time. During the return trip, both D-Class were instructed to revisit a map consulted earlier by D-8237 and to identify any changes which occurred, including noted locations of Apts 2222 and 3333.

Upon checking the closest map, both D-4782 and D-8237 confirmed that, while the shapes of each apartment building seemed to match the known blueprints of [APARTMENT NAME], no apartment numbers were filled in, with a small legend in the corner indicating that Apts 2222 and 3333 would be labeled with question marks.

Analysis: I think we're starting to narrow down the parameters of this site. Beyond just establishing that the effect can manifest when an idea or a service is "delivered", we've established here that the reality distortions are independent of observer. Somewhere, somehow, these phenomena are physically happening, yet external observers will never be any the wiser. We have a couple of theories on how an anomaly could somehow manifest in this way, but even the most conservative involve fairly radical applications of currently understood anomalous activity.

This effect is certainly interesting to study, but I can't shake the feeling we're missing something major. There's obviously a pretty powerful anomalous effect at play here, considering we're seeing major non-Euclidean architectural distortions are possible that appear able to maintain stability between two subjects a considerable distance apart, but also mesh perfectly within consensus reality for everyone else. But the most unsettling thing is how tame it's been so far when we decide to pack up and leave. I mean, with anomalies like this, you never get to just pack up and go. They always exhibit some kind of unstable, chaotic behavior that makes retracing your steps damn near impossible. But this one seems almost deliberate, in that once you aren't trying to progress towards the delivery anymore, the effect doesn't seem to progress any further.

The main way forward seems obvious to me. Now that we seem to understand the parameters of what can trigger the anomaly and the extent to which it can affect baseline reality, further research should focus primarily on the extent to which the anomaly is capable of affecting the subject's reality.

We'll try the requisite robot experiment within the week, but sooner or later, we need to establish just how deep this anomaly will go.

+ Experiment 4

Purpose: To establish whether SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects manifest when the "deliverer" is a non-organic subject.

Procedure: One standard Foundation remote quadruped will be deployed with a parcel containing one red brick in its cargo hold. The drone will then attempt to release the parcel at Apartment 1000.

Results: The quadruped was released without issue and immediately directed to a complex map for consultation and comparison to existing blueprints. After taking a few minutes to inspect the map, researchers determined that it exactly matched the blueprints as constructed obtained from the City of █████████, including the location of Apartment 1000 within Building 10 in the Eastern side of the complex.

Researchers then advanced the quadruped to the location indicated on the map, and discovered an apartment building similar to the others witnessed in the complex, labeled "Building 10", as expected. External signage indicated that Apt 1000 was within the structure, and after entering the building, the quadruped was soon able to locate Apt 1000 and deliver its package. The remote quadruped was then guided back out of the complex without issue.

Analysis: Well, well. After so many experimental questions answered affirmatively, it's refreshing to finally chuck something at the wall and have it not stick. The problem with anomalous testing repeatedly going right is that it never ends. If your anomaly can manifest on land, now you have to determine if it can manifest underwater. If it can manifest underwater, now you have to determine whether it can manifest while submerged in other liquids. Every time you prove what an anomaly can do, you then have to go one step further and define what it can't.

Now that we've established this anomaly can't be tested autonomously in any way, we can divert our focus towards the one parameter we've identified that can still be tested.

Next time, it won't be a quad making that delivery.

Experiment 5

Purpose: To ascertain the absolute limits of SCP-XXXX's reality bending effects.

Procedure: One D-Class Personnel will be given the following list of supplies before attempting to deliver a parcel containing one red brick to Apartment 4444:
-One (1) Standard-Issue Foundation internal frame hiking backpack, filled with various items on the proceeding list.
-Standard Foundation MRE rations amounting to 14 days worth of food for an average adult.
-Two (2) copies of the City of █████████ blueprints of the [APARTMENT NAME] complex, as built.
-One (1) ARTV (Anomalous Research and Testing Vehicle) outfitted with a 175 Mile range battery and anti-flat tires.
-Two (2) 175 Mile range batteries for the ARTV

-Three (2) 200 Hour battery packs, with standard connectors for low-draw Foundation electronics equipment.
-Two (2) Foundation battery pack recharging units
-One (1) 15 gallon water vessel, fitted to the ARTV and configured to dispense up to 1 gallon per 24 hours
-Two (2) Standard-Issue Foundation Exploration Cameras (Including high-durability enclosures)
-Two (2) Standard-Issue Foundation Exploration Remote Data Transmitters
-One (1) Foundation Exploration Camera body mounting kit, with transmitter accessory kit

The D-Class will be instructed to attempt to make the delivery at all costs; To this end, they will be informed at the start of the experiment that success will result in the commutation of their sentence and relocation within the Foundation's standard retirement program for Level 3 and above researchers.

During the course of this experiment, Foundation researchers will be stationed in every apartment within the complex, both to externally observe any distortions recorded on the D-Class' monitoring equipment, as well as to provide external resources such as food or water as long as the D-Class is able to access their units. To this end, each researcher is to be provided with 21 days worth of Foundation rations and 42 gallons of water, in addition to their standard equipment for long-term study and residence.

A complete transcript as well as the actual video records are available to any Level 4 and above personnel upon request, to be directed towards the Ethics Committee.

Day 1

The video starts with [DCLASS5 NAME]'s fingers still over the camera lens, the microphone buffeted with the noise of shuffling hands. After a few seconds the camera stabilizes and their voice can be heard.

D-XXXX: -fucker in place, now. Alright. Where are you wanting me to go again?

Dr. XXXX: There should be a map of the complex nearby. Go ahead and get the blueprints for the place out of your map pocket and compare them with that map.

D-XXXX: Got it. Let's see here…

D-XXXX spends 2-3 minutes comparing the two maps, eventually drawing attention to the Southern segment of the map. Analysis of the map from D-XXXX's camera feed shows drastic differences around Buildings 38-50, with the largest difference being Building 44 being indicated as a thin crescent shape on the Southernmost edge of the complex. Apartment 4444 is indicated as the center unit of Building 44.

D-XXXX: Am I good to start driving down that way?

Dr. XXXX: We shouldn't need any more documentation of that map. Proceed.

D-XXXX drives the ARTV South, and soon spots a large structure on the horizon.

D-XXXX: Uh, chief… Is this one supposed to be this big?

As D-XXXX advances closer, Building 44 begins to overshadow its nearby buildings, with at least 40 stories estimated from the clearest segments of video feed, in comparison to the 2 floors of the original building.

Dr. XXXX: We've seen a few different layouts. Just keep in mind, the outside really doesn't mean anything about what the inside will be like.

D-XXXX opens the nearest entrance to the building, and is immediately greeted with an interior resembling a luxury hotel foyer. The ceiling stretches up at least to the height implied by the exterior of the structure, while each floor wraps in a slowly descending spiral to ground level. The floor is decorated with elaborate geometric mosaics, and a small tile fountain can be seen gurgling on the far side.

D-XXXX: Are you still seeing me over there?

Dr. XXXX: Affirmative. Video and audio feeds uninterrupted.

D-XXXX: Well, hopefully that's good news. Where should I start looking around here?

Dr. XXXX: Do you see any signs anywhere nearby?

D-XXXX scans the immediate area. Over the entrance they just entered from is a placard that reads "0000". After a moment, they find a sign next to a hallway.

D-XXXX: Alright, the first one just says 100-999 is down this way. The other arrows all say 9999+, even though they point everywhere else.

Dr. XXXX: Can you advance down that hallway and try to establish contact with a researcher?

D-XXXX: May as well.

D-XXXX enters the hallway and quickly finds Apartment 0101. The Foundation researcher within reports seeing D-XXXX outside of their standard door, but does not see the elaborate foyer visible on D-XXXX's camera.

Dr. XXXX: Alright, well, not sure what we expected after our earlier tests, but it's good to know we still haven't pierced into baseline reality just yet. Let's try to find a way into that spiral.

D-XXXX scans the base of the foyer, eventually finding the point where the spiral connects to the floor. Beside this entranceway is a sign simply inscribed with "This Way" and an arrow pointing forwards.

D-XXXX: Well, the first apartment I see here is numbered 1000. And… Fuck me… This whole damn spiral goes up by ones.

Dr. XXXX: Just be thankful you've got the ARTV. Most poor bastards in your shoes would be footin' it on these expeditions.

D-XXXX: Well, still, shit's probably gonna take all day. This thing doesn't have an automate function on it, does it?

Dr. XXXX: It does, but that requires remote control. And we didn't rent the remote unit.

D-XXXX: Ah, well. Nice to know you care.

D-XXXX continues up the spiral for 18 hours, periodically conversing with Dr. XXXX and other members of the research team for basic entertainment and eating/drinking as needed. Throughout D-XXXX's time inside "Building 44", their GPS continuously broadcasts as if it were stationary at the edge of the structure as indicated on official blueprints.

Eventually, D-XXXX requests to rest, and the research team acquiesces.

Day 2

D-XXXX continues from where they left off the previous day, around Apartment 3027, and for approximately 4 hours continues uneventfully along the spiral, replacing the ARTV's battery for the first time at 2 hours along.

After this interval, D-XXXX reaches the end of the spiral, with the hallway forming the spiral fanning out into a number of different tunnels. No signage is in view.

D-XXXX: Are you seeing this? No labels on, what, 20 different doors? How the fuck is this supposed to work?

Dr. XXXX: Calm down, please. Since you've got the ARTV, we can follow any of these for some distance without investing too much time. Start with the leftmost path.

D-XXXX: Whatever you say.

D-XXXX begins advancing down the path, which begins with Apartment 3301 but continues in intervals of 0.5. The distance between apartments also slowly increases, as with other experiments. Upon reaching Apartment 3330, each half-interval apartment is a full 75m apart from the one before it.

D-XXXX: Still over a thousand out and I'm already getting this funhouse mirror shit? Can't catch a break.

Dr. XXXX: Well, you've got 19 other paths to try at that hub, if you'd like.

D-XXXX: May as well. There's no real sign this was the right way anyway.

D-XXXX advances back to the previous circular intersection. Although there are still a significant number of branching paths, the number according to later analysis does not exceed 15. D-XXXX emerges from the third path on the right and takes a moment to decide where to proceed.

Dr. XXXX:

NOTICE FROM THE FOUNDATION'S ANOMALOUS RESISTANCE TEAM:

It is recommended that all personnel accessing this document have an A.R.S of over 15

— Maria Edwards, Director, A.R.T

[REDACTED]

Special Containment Procedures: In order to reliably contain SCP-XXXX and all other related entities, any and all followers are to be terminated upon discovery, any and all places of worship are to be bombarded with Class-3 artillery, and all gatherings are to be surrounded by MTF Nu-7 and subsequently destroyed.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an extradimensional deity resembling ███████ from H.P Lovecraft's ███████ mythos. The religion devoted to this entity is called The Cult of ███████. This cult will periodically hold services to this deity that include archaic chants, ritual murder, and other strange practices, many of which can be found in a book that is always present during these services: The Necronomicon, By: █████ ████████. Many of the chants and rituals that are included in The Necronomicon are anomalous in nature and/or have many anomalous hazards. Included below are some of the rituals and chants found in The Necronomicon (Cognito hazards redacted and/or neutralized). The participants of the services often wear headdresses that appear to be attempted replications of the head of ███████. looking upon living subjects donning these headdresses for more than ██ seconds will eventually cause the viewer to either fall insane, and/or become devoted to The Cult of ███████. These effects will present themselves anywhere from █ hours to ██ years after the initial ██ seconds of exposure. Viewing images of these subjects will not result in the aforementioned effects, but ██% of viewers will receive a headache after more than 15 seconds of viewing, and █% of these headaches will not dissipate. Above is an image of a devotee wearing one of the aforementioned headdresses.
NOTE: Personnel with an A.R.S of over 15 will not be affected by images that include subjects wearing the headdresses.

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones. A chant by █████ █████████. The Necronomicon.

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones, and nothing shall dismay.
Remember great ███████ shall rise up from █'████
To enlighten us with old knowledge if we should flock ███ way.

Oh, tidings of knowledge and song,
Knowledge and song,
Oh, tidings of knowledge and song.

In ███████ and in █████████ the Great Olde Ones were spawned,
Imprisoned by the Elder Gods to wait for long aeons.
Enticing humans to release them, whilst chanting greatest song.

Oh, tidings of ascendence and song,
Ascendence and song,
Oh, tidings of ascendence and song.

An Arab said "That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And in strange aeons you will find that even death may die."
The Great Olde Ones will rule once more and all will be reborn!

Oh, only songs of greatness and gong,
greatness and gong,
Oh, only songs of greatness and gong.

Death May Die. A chant by █████ ████████. The Necronomicon

████████ said that is not dead which can eternal lie.
███ ████ said that is not dead for even death may die.
For it is known that death will die, for even death may die.
████████ said that is not dead which can eternal lie
And on ███ own, did pen the tome, tis called the ██ ████.
The howling devil did sing to ███ with fiendish songs of grief.
With fiendish songs of grief it sang! With bloodied face of tears.
The howling demon did speak to ███, within ███ restless dreams.
Then unseen demons ate from ███, from ███ dry Damascus corpse.
Now ███ words live on, yes for strange eons, in The Necronomicon.
The Necronomicon ██ wrote, The Necronomicon.
██ still lives on within aeons, tis now the ██ ████!
Doth sing to us, ███ words the gong, The Necronomicon.

Carol of Fate. A prophecy. The Necronomicon.

Look to the sky, way up on high;
There in the night, stars now are right.
Aeons have passed, now then at last;
Whence they were penned, they shall descend.

They will return, mankind will learn;
New kinds of fear once they are here.
As they reclaim all in their name;
Hope turns to black, as they come back

Ignorant fools mankind now rules.
Where they ruled then, it's theirs again.
Stars brightly burning boiling bode
The returning seasons of doom:

[REDACTED] Solstice,
[REDACTED] Solstice

Up from the sea, from underground;
Down from the sky, they're all around.
They will return and mankind will learn,
Nothing they do will stop the stars.

Mankind will try, try then in vain
To stop the stars, from cycling.
Will they then learn, nothing they do
Can cease the stars, from what they do?

They will descend.
Woe without end
Where they extend:

Mankind Will Fall.

This "Carol of Fate" is the most concerning. If it is to be believed, upon a specific solstice of an unknown year, these "Great Olde Ones" will awake and reak havoc upon mankind, and according to this so-called prophecy, there is nothing that mankind will be able to do to stop or prevent this from occurring. Because our copy of The Necronomicon was obtained relatively recently, we do not know when █████ ████████ added this prophecy, if indeed ██ did. In conclusion, I believe it is best that we assume that this solstice is going to happen so that The Foundation can prepare for the worst, and decide what to do regarding The Masquerade.

████ ██████, O5-█

Below is an analysis conducted by The Foundations cryptography department on the nature of the three Necronomicon entries above:

+ "Awake ye Horrid Great Olde Ones"

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones. A chant by █████ █████████. The Necronomicon.

Awake ye horrid Great Olde Ones, and nothing shall dismay.

(This line is most likely from the point of view of the more sane members of The Cult of ███████. In this line, "Great Olde Ones" is plural, leading the cryptography team to believe that The Cult of ███████ is not just devoted to the deity of their namesake, but instead is devoted to the group of deities designated as the "Great Olde Ones", and further information about this is found later on.)

Remember great ███████ shall rise up from █'████

(This line is incredibly important to The Foundation, as it gives us a location, and though this given location cannot be found by a quick glance at the Earth, further study has found that █'████ is actually part of [REDACTED]. This gives The Foundation somewhere to start their studies.)

To enlighten us with old knowledge if we should flock ███ way.

(This line again is thought to be written from the point of view of the cult. We have found from different pieces within The Necronomicon [Note: As well as from recent tests performed to discover the effects that ███████ has on humans], viewing ███████ in any way causes mild to severe insanity. Whether this is caused by the introduction of knowledge {See SCP-606} is not of great importance because it is impossible to extract given knowledge after the onset of insanity. The use of "███" in this line suggests that ███████ is, or at least has, some defining characteristics that would lead cult members to deduce the biological sex of the entity.)

Oh, tidings of knowledge and song,
Knowledge and song,
Oh, tidings of knowledge and song.

(These three lines pose no specific interest)

In ███████ and in █████████ the Great Olde Ones were spawned,

(The two designations that are given here are titles, either of two Elder Gods [A designation thought to be of greater importance and/or higher power to the Great Olde Ones], or possibly two locations. This line also gives an origin of the Great Olde Ones, as they were spawned in ███████ and █████████.)

Imprisoned by the Elder Gods to wait for long aeons.

(This line introduces the Elder Gods as greater, older, and more powerful beings. The reason why they imprisoned the Great Olde Ones is shadowy at best, and through the use of the word "aeons", we are drawn to believe that the length of the Great Olde Ones' imprisonment is extensive. We have but a few records detailing the time when the Great Olde Ones were imprisoned, and their foretold emergence has no set date. The use of the word "wait" is also important, providing that they were imprisoned to stand by for something to come, rather than imprisoned to keep them from doing something.)

Enticing humans to release them, whilst chanting greatest song.

(This line conflicts with the "Carol of Fate" prophecy, which details that the Great Olde Ones will break containment due to an astrological occurrence rather than from human intervention. Due to this conflict, it is believed that the Great Olde Ones will escape containment on a solstice that matches the description in the "Carol of Fate" prophecy, but only if The Cult of ███████ has a degree of worship and/or influence that is of currently unknown size. This information is the cause of the current special containment procedures.)

Oh, tidings of ascendence and song,
Ascendence and song,
Oh, tidings of ascendence and song.

(These lines pose no specific interest.)

An Arab said "That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And in strange aeons you will find that even death may die."

(The quote found in this line is present to a surprising degree throughout The Necronomicon, and is credited to █████ ████████. No specific purpose or effects have been connected to this quote, though it is speculated to hold some importance due to the frequency at which it can be found within The Necronomicon)

The Great Olde Ones will rule once more and all will be reborn!

(In the eyes of sane cult members, the coming of the Great Olde Ones will cause most of humanity to devote themselves entirely to the success of these deities and believe that those who do will be rewarded. The insane cult members however believe a variety of things, from the destruction of humanity when the Great Olde Ones arrive, to the eternal torture of all things on Earth upon their arrival.)

Oh, only songs of greatness and gong,
greatness and gong,
Oh, only songs of greatness and gong.

(These lines hold no significant value)

---

+ "Death May Die"

Death May Die. A chant by █████ ████████. The Necronomicon

████████ said, "that is not dead which can eternal lie".
███ ████ said, "that is not dead for even death may die".

("████████" in this line is likely referring to █████ ████████, the author of The Necronomicon. Furthermore, "███ ████" is a known alias of █████ ████████. As mentioned before, these quotes are speculated to hold some importance, although exactly what is unknown.)

For it is known that death will die, for even death may die.

(The repetition of this quote again reinforces its importance.)

████████ said that is not dead which can eternal lie

(Again, repetition leads us to believe that these quotes are somehow important.)

And on ███ own, did pen the tome, tis called the ██ ████.

(The "██ ████" is another designation for The Necronomicon, a designation that holds greater value, but also more danger. This line also notes that the ██ ████ was created by █████ ████████ alone.)

The howling devil did sing to ███ with fiendish songs of grief.

(This line introduces a new entity, the possible nature of which is revealed later on in the passage. Whether or not the use of the word "songs" is literal or not is unknown, and likely unimportant.)

With fiendish songs of grief it sang! With bloodied face of tears.

(More descriptions of the unknown entity are located in this line. The cartography department has found a link between the unknown entity and the "smiling man" detailed in SCP-507)

The howling demon did speak to ███, within ███ restless dreams.

(This line shows that the unknown entity planted the idea of The Necronomicon in █████ ████████'s mind while ██ slept.)

Then unseen demons ate from ███, from ███ dry Damascus corpse.

(Details of █████ ████████'s ritual murder are present in this line)

Now ███ words live on, yes for strange aeons, in The Necronomicon.

(This line details how The Necronomicon continues to be updated, with each new entry being credited to █████ ████████. The cryptography team has decided that █████ ████████ is indeed writing new entries to The Necronomicon. It appears that the ritual murder of █████ ████████ has seemingly bound ███ to ███ work and ██ appears to be content, and is even willing to write more Necronomicon entries)

The Necronomicon ██ wrote, The Necronomicon.
██ still lives on within aeons, tis now the ██ ████!
Doth sing to us, ███ words the gong, The Necronomicon.

(These lines reinforce the idea that █████ ████████ was bound to The Necronomicon upon ███ murder, and that ██ continues to write more material that is subsequently added to The Necronomicon)

---

+ "Carol of Fate"

Carol of Fate. A prophecy. The Necronomicon.

Look to the sky, way up on high;
There in the night, stars now are right.

(The suggestion that the Great Olde Ones will arrive when a certain astronomical event occurs is introduced in this line)

Aeons have passed, now then at last;
Whence they were penned, they shall descend.

("Whence they were penned, they shall descend" provides that the Great Olde Ones will emerge from where they were imprisoned, rather than from random locations. This is important as now The Foundation knows to fortify the imprisonment site of discovered entities.)

They will return, mankind will learn;
New kinds of fear once they are here.
As they reclaim all in their name;
Hope turns to black, as they come back

(This line suggests that mankind will know fear as we have never before, and will lose all hope as the Great Olde Ones return. "All in their name" suggests that the Earth was promised to the Great Olde Ones, perhaps by the Elder Gods.)

Ignorant fools mankind now rules.

(This line stumped the cryptography team for a significant length of time. At first glance, this line seems to be addressing the Great Olde Ones, telling them that they are ignorant for underestimating the power that mankind now can access. However, it is possible that a typo was made: "Now" instead of "new". No typos have ever been found within The Necronomicon and yet, the inclusion of one in this prophecy would fit the theme of The Necronomicon much better: Now stating that mankind is ignorant, and the discovery of this prophecy forces The Foundation to think differently, [following new rules, as the typo would suggest]. Another note that the cryptography team has deemed worthy to mention is, seeing that author of The Necronomicon is thought to be actively writing, the author could have purposefully added this typo to throw The Foundation "off their trail" as it were, giving false hope to a possible successful outcome. Because the idea of a purposeful typo fits so well, the cryptography team will continue as if this is the objective truth, and a small cryptography team will continue to analyze this line of text.)

Where they ruled then, it's theirs again.

(This line reinforces the idea that the Great Olde Ones did indeed once inhabit and rule the Earth, but for some unknown reason were imprisoned by the Elder Gods to wait for something for an unknown reason. Seeing as SCP-XXXX resembles an entity created by H.P Lovecraft, further study into H.P Lovecraft's writing, specifically [REDACTED], is heavily encouraged. A relation to SCP-2264 has been found.)

Stars brightly burning boiling bode
the returning seasons of doom:

(The star Atroitrokt recently underwent a strange process [ aptly named cosmic evaporation ] where the surface of the star began to 'bubble' in a process similar to boiling, this process created intense heat and light, even reaching Earth and causing a 50-degree increase in average temperatures across the globe for the 15 hours that the process lasted. Seemingly in coincidence, the seemingly extinct La Garita Caldera erupted at the same time when the effects of Atroitrokt's evaporation reached Earth. Investigation into the La Garita Caldera volcano is underway by MTF Epsilon-9 [ See Exploration Logs ]. This occurrence could mark the beginning of the [REDACTED] Solstice.)

[REDACTED] Solstice,
[REDACTED] Solstice

(These are descriptions of the cosmic alignment during the Solstice of Awakening.)

Up from the sea, from underground;
Down from the sky, they're all around.

(This shows the vague locations where the Great Olde Ones will emerge. This reinforces the idea that a Great Olde One is located inside of the La Garita Caldera)

They will return and mankind will learn,
Nothing they do will stop the stars.

(Again, these lines reinforce the idea that the Solstice of Awakening will occur based on an astronomical occurrence)

Mankind will try, try then in vain
To stop the stars, from cycling.

(This line foretells that The Foundation, or in the case of a Broken Masquerade, all of mankind will attempt to prevent the movement of the cosmos in order to keep the Solstice of Awakening from happening.)

Will they then learn, nothing they do
Can cease the stars, from what they do?

(This suggests that the attempts of mankind will fall short and that we will have to accept that we will need to fight in order to survive.)

They will descend.
Woe without end
Where they extend:

(Yet again, this tells that the coming of the Great Olde Ones will occur)

Mankind Will Fall.

(This line suggests that humanity will fall, but with all confidence, The Foundation assures you, this will not happen.)
