Taken at SCP-XXXX twelfth appearance

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX at this time is uncontainable due to its anomalous properties.

All areas where SCP-XXXX manifest are to be taped off and listed as a danger to the public. 2 guards are to be placed outside the immediate area of SCP-XXXX; they are to be wearing the representative police uniforms of the country occupied by SCP-XXXX at the time to not rais suspicion by the public who tried to close to the area. All civilians who come within two miles are warned and told to turn around; if they do not heed the warning, they will be detained immediately. All the eyewitnesses that have reported the appearance of SCP-XXXX are to have a Class-D amnestic administered. As of 11/7/19██ , all researchers and MTF operatives have a psych evaluation every two years; if there are any signs of mental degradation, the person is to be designated three months leave and replaced.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity. Its height can be anywhere from 15 meters to 38 meters tall.
It is bipedal and is constructed out of burnt wood and ash; furthermore, SCP-XXXX has large plus small charred stumps and sticks coming out of its body¹, and It is very emaciated. It has antler-like growths on both sides of its head that can be anywhere from .9 to 1.5 meters in length, four small incisors, and two large canine-like teeth growths on the front of its face made of stone. SCP-XXXX is very fast for its size, and It has been seen to sprint up to 30 m/s in short bursts. Tho it doesn't use this speed often.

SCP-XXXX can not be killed by conventional means. Any instance where enough damage is caused to SCP-XXXX that would be fatal to another living creature, SCP-XXXX will collapse into a pile of ash and wood. SCP-XXXX will then reappear within an hour in the forest occupied at the time.

discovery: SCP-XXXX was first discovered in ████████ █████ Germany on 8/17/████ after a forest fire that burned down 74.18 km2 of forest. Reports came in of a “Sinder Elk stalking the burned-down forest.” upon which the foundation dispatched MTF Lambda-12 to the scene. MTF Lambda-12 went to quarantine the area and set up an observation area of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-002: From 8/18/████ forward, Professor Thomas Cook will be holding a log on the studies of SCP-XXXX and its actions.

Date: 8/18/████

<Begin voice log recording>

Hello, I'm Proffecer Thomas Cook, head researcher of SCP-XXXX, and today is the first day of log entries for SCP-XXXX! Woohoo!
Wait, maybe I should start over? This log is supposed to be a professional document, after all. Welp, too late!

So where to start

(Prof Cook poses for precisely 12.5 seconds)

Oh, I know! So when we got here, everything went smoothly. MTF Lambda-12 and nine other researchers, excluding myself, set up the camp, and the forest was taped off as a restricted area. But when we got to the SCP-XXXX location, it was just standing there, staring at us. Well, at least that’s what it felt like to me; anyways, SCP-XXXX hasn’t moved in the last 7 hours; we have tested² its reflexes by shooting tennis balls at it, the thing is fast for how big it is! It caught every ball we launched with precision, and after catching the ball, it just dropped it on the ground. After the test, Dr. ████, Dr. ████ , and I collected the balls, and the grey powder which came from SCP-XXXX was tested and discovered to be ash! The thing is either made of ash or just covered in it! This very interesting. We will have to collect more samples.

<End log>

So today was fascinating. SCP-XXXX Started walking and haven’t stopped since 7:30 AM. It’s pretty strange like it just walks in a straight line. What is it doing? where it's going? There’s no rhyme nor reason for its actions!

We followed SCP-XXXX for 12 miles straight, and it finally stopped! But what was interesting is where it stopped; it stopped right at the border of the burned-down forest! And then it just stood there looking into the green and lush forest for 3 hours. Then it turned around and crouched down. We’ve never seen this behavior before! It crouched down and started digging in the dirt! And after searching for 30 minutes straight, it stopped and then filled the hole back in with the soil it had dug up. Then it started heading back in the direction it had come. We left some men behind to dig up the area that SCP-XXXX had dug up to see if they could find anything of importance will we headed back first to stay with SCP-XXXX³.

<End log>

Welp, today was quite eventful; we had our first human test with SCP-XXXX!
And the results were fascinating. So apparently, SCP-XXXX is very fragile to human touch! I'll leave the experiment log here:

+SCP-XXXX Test Log

[Test 002-A - 8/29/████

Subject: SCP-XXXX

Procedure: D-Class 2371 set to interact with SCP-XXXX.

Results: the subject is instructed to come within 2 meters of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX does not move. The subject is instructed to go within reaching distance of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX takes two steps forward, upon which the subject panics then falls over. The subject is instructed to go and touch SCP-XXXX. Personnel does not comply; a warning is given to the subject that it must comply upon which the subject does, and gets up and goes up to SCP-XXXX. The subject is instructed to touch SCP-3372 Right leg. The subject complies and touches SCP-XXXX’s right leg, upon which the leg starts to disseminate into ash, the reminisce of ash blows away. D-Class personnel instructed to come back quickly⁴.

Analysis: samples of SCP-XXXX the ash was discovered to have no significant molecular difference in it from normal ash and is completely composed of the ash in the area of its appearance. SCP-XXXX seems to be calm and docile to the point of no interaction with living things. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX is very fragile to human touch.]]

We took more samples of SCP-XXXX ash to take a more in-depth look into its makeup. There was no different from that of normal ash. Furthermore, we also discover that the ash that SCP-XXXX constructed isn't just any ash; it’s completely comprised of the ash in the forest. Isn't that interesting? And we don’t know why the DC didn’t want to follow our commands. I'll be having an interview with him soon.

<Begin voice log recording,>

Okay, what to say.
(Prof Cook pauses for 5.6 seconds)
welp, I guess I can tell you about Test A-003. We wanted to see how SCP-XXXX would respond to fiscal trauma. First, we started with a paintball gun, and there was no response or movement at all, unlike when we were launching tennis balls at it. Then we had a D-Class hit it in the leg with a bat, and again there was no response or movement from SCP-XXXX. What was more interesting was how the D-Class said it was like hitting a living tree at the base as hard as he could. So we just continued to make the tools more and more deadly, you could say. We used a sword! And It cut SCP-XXXX leg. Taking a chip out of it! But still, it didn't seem to affect SCP-XXXX. It didn't even flinch, and it just continued to stand there. But in the end, we decided to use live rounds of an assault rifle to see if they’d affect SCP-XXXX, and they did! After five gun rounds to the chest of SCP-XXXX, it collapsed into a pile of wood and ash! And let me tell you, it scared the crap out of me. I thought we had accidentally killed or “Naturalized,” as they call it. But thankfully, after a 7-hour search, we found SCP-XXXX! You can’t kill this thing by conventional means, but I wonder why it fell apart in the first place? We’re going to need to test this more.

Dr.████: Cook! SCP-XXXX collapsed!

What? What do you mean? It collapsed!

(Cook and Dr.████ run out of the tent)

(people outside the tent can hear running and shouting faintly for 6 minutes)

(the sound of a car engine and cars driving away can be heard)

(7 hours pass until the sound of approaching vehicles can be heard)

(shouting and running can be vaguely picked up)

(Prof Cook can be heard talking outside)
What? Okay, I'll pack my stuff up.
Crap! I left this thing on!
Erm, I should tell you what happened. So basically, SCP-XXXX collapsed into a pile of ash and wood out of nowhere, and we have no idea why! And we went searching for it, but we couldn’t find it anywhere. Therefore we're going to be packing our stuff up and leaving the area to continue to look for it tomorrow, but we don’t know where it went.

<End log>

<Begin voice log recording>

[Hello, I’m Professor Thomas Cook, head researcher and study of SCP-XXXX for roughly five years. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long! We intercepted a message that retained information on what could be a new appearance of SCP-XXXX. We will be leaving in 2 days to head that way to check it out.

Man, I’m so tired of chasing this thing all around the world! At least this time, it’s in the ██. Wait, I can’t say that. Well, whatever, it will just be inked over later anyways. so much stuff has happened, with Dr. ████ committing suicide in his one tent 3 years ago and

I need a vacation, a long one at that! To get away from SCP-XXXX, and it’s constantly moving. I can never get any sleep! Even when it stays still, it creaks and cracks like crazy. It's so annoying, and don’t get me started on the creepy call sound it makes! After this, I’m probably going to take a leave for a while. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that we finally figured out why SCP-XXXX leaves an aria out of the blue all the time! So after an extensive search of every place SCP-XXXX has been, we found one thing in common: all of them had vegetation returning to the area!

So at least we finally figured that mystery out! I was getting mad at the lack of purpose that SCP-XXXX has like it seems mindless, like it’s just there to be there. But this new information could lead us to learn so much more about SCP-XXXX that we never knew!

<End log>

+ Document 001-B

On 11/2/████ in ███████, California. MTF Lambda-12 and all the researchers assigned to SCP-XXXX were dispatched due to SCP-XXXX citing in the area. Upon arrival, MTF Lambda-12 taped off the area of SCP-XXXX and then started searches for SCP-XXXX. Upon discovery of SCP-XXXX, all ten researchers set up observation, and no physical changes were apparent. Furthermore, there were no behavioral changes visible. Until Professor Thomas Cook collected a sample of SCP-XXXX’s ash and wood, upon which SCP-XXXX swung its left arm, hitting him and knocking him into a nearby tree, killing him instantly. Upon which MTF Lambda-12 opened fire on SCP-XXXX. After five shots to the chest cavity of SCP-XXXX, it collapsed into a pile of ash and burnt wood.

Immediately a search party was sent to find SCP-XXXX. Upon discovery, a more tactical and safe observation area was set up(the cause of SCP-XXXX aggression is unknown, but it is theorized that it is because the forest fire was caused on purpose instead of by natural causes)[[footnote][This theory has been proven. See Document 002-A][[/footnote]]

Due to the events on 11/2/████ the A message was sent to Foundation's Director of Task Forces on site-██ and after 3 months it was approved for the creation of Mobil Task Force or MTF-Delta-007 (Cinderella) by the 05 council. to be the representative group to research SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-002: [By no means is there to be any destruction, burning, or killing of an animal or plant in an 8-kilometer radius of SCP-XXXX.
Due to the events in Document 002-A, If this does happen, all personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX are to evacuate immediately.

+Document 002-A

**Test A-005- -11/06/████ 14:36 **

Subject: SCP-XXXX

Procedure: A Singular eastern white pine sapling, a canister of precisely 2 gallons of gasoline, and a small box of matches is placed 3 Meters away from SCP-XXXX. One D-Class personnel is instructed to go to the sapling and dowse it with gasoline and light it using the matches.

Results: ones the sapling was doused in the gasoline and the D-class proceed to light a match, SCP-XXXX sprinted into Him, throwing him 10 meters, breaking five ribs puncturing his right lung, and breaking a femur in his left leg due to impact with a stump of a tree.
After which, SCP-XXXX continues to pursue personal. Upon which MTF-Delta-7 (Cinderella) opened fire on SCP-XXXX, Neutralizing it for the moment being.

Analysis: due to the violent reaction from SCP-XXXX towards any burning or destruction of wildlife, we have concluded that humans were the cause of the violent response from SCP-XXXX on 8/2/████ and the death of Professor cook.
No further tests involving these things should be prohibited due to the dangers they pose to personnel.

*11/06/████ 15:12*: After Test A-005, all personnel was instructed to get ready for a search for SCP-XXXX. But the search was unneeded because SCP-XXXX had come back to the area of Test A-005(it is noted that SCP-XXXX has never gone back to the point of Neutralization). after reaching there, SCP-XXXX proceeded to attack personnel and destroy equipment (an instance of violence from SCP-XXXX like this has never happened before) all personnel was ordered immediately to evacuate.

+ Interview 002-C

Interviewed: [D-class 2371]

Interviewer: [ Professor Thomas Cook]

Foreword: [Questioning of D-class 2371, and his reluctance to follow orders during Test 002-A on 8/29/████ for SCP-xxxx]

<Begin Log,>

Interviewer: [Tell me D-2371 why were you reluctant to Follow orders? Were you not told SCP-XXXX is not hostile.]

Person: [Well, they did tell me, Prof Cook! But you don’t understand! You didn’t feel what I felt!]

Interviewer: [What do you mean by feeling what I felt? Please explain.]

Person: [well, when I got into the distance of SCP-XXXX, I looked into its eyes and felt this indescribable amount of fear! It’s like without speaking, that thing was telling me it wanted me dead!]

Interviewer: [D-2371, are you telling me that you felt a killer intent coming from SCP-XXXX?]

Person: [Yes! Unlike anything I’ve felt before! And that's the reason I freaked out when it moved. I thought I was going to die! That it was going to kill me!]

Interviewer: [So this is the reason you were reluctant to comply with the orders to touch SCP-XXXX.]

Person: [yes.]

Interviewer: [Okay, there will be no further questions. you are dismissed.]

<End Log,>

Closing Statement: [D-class 2371 reason for the reluctance to follow orders was due to an unknown anomalies effect caused by SCP-XXXX. Further research into this anomaly’s effect revealed that it happens to every person who is at least 3 feet away from SCP-XXXX and looks into its eyes.

Footnotes

1. [these can change position and size every time SCP-XXXX leaves an area]

2. [AKA Test A-001]

3. [All that was found in the excavation was that of a fey bone from the native species of Elk and eight native pine tree seeds. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX placed these there itself or they were there, to begin with.]

4. [More information on the subject reaction see Interview 002-C]

5. See Morse’s Reply. Per Morse’s orders, all brand names were redacted from all files pertaining to SCP-XXXX.

6. Dr. Gears believes that Caroline is exhibiting a severe reaction to smiling. It is possible that other positive expressions might also be a trigger to this reaction.

Dr. Gears has been made the primary interviewer under the guidance of Dr. Glass.

Dr. Glass thinks this is a very, very bad idea and should continue to be allowed to create rapport with Caroline. Dr. Glass has had his privilege of editing files pertaining to SCP-XXXX revoked.

7. After Caroline's first interview, the Ethics Committee demanded the Foundation staff to shorten the session lengths to 15mins. Foundation staff complied as long as Caroline came later in the day, preferably after she had eaten so that she was more compliant (recommendation by Dr. Glass).

8. See above note. This is factually untrue. The Foundation has received 23 complaints from Farmer Johnson regarding [REDACTED] and its chemical byproduct.

9. |l’Dr. Morse had this experiment log printed out and placed all over Site-88 with the title: “ATTENTION: DO NOT EAT CANDY! THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING!”’l|

10. Bos taurus: The domesticated cow.

11. In light of his work with SCP-XXXX, Dr. Glass has been asked to join the Ethics Committee.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held within a secure facility sized approximately by 7m x 7m x 7m. SCP-XXXX is not to be within 1 meter of contact with any human Personnel. Testing that involves any human subject is to be approved by over two Level 3 Personnel. Testing that does not involve a human subject should be approved by only one Level 3 Personnel.

Description: In appearance, SCP-XXXX is a Casio PT-80 Electronic Keyboard, presumably manufactured in the 1980's. The keyboard was discovered in a small two story house in the town of Chester located in the United Kingdom. Screaming was heard by surrounding neighbours who informed the police force of the noises coming from the house. On discovery, the police force discovered a presumable corpse playing "Für Elise" on SCP-XXXX. Once removed from the chair of which the corpse was sat upon, the corpse prominently melted into a form of black mucus. The corpse of those who play SCP-XXXX has been classified as SCP-XXXX-1.

Addendum XXXX.1: Effects on the Human Body ██/█/██ After several tests on SCP-XXXX including D-Class Personnel, it has been discovered that SCP-XXXX has the ability to melt ones brain into the dark, tar-like mucus that made up the corpse on discovery. Upon contact with any key, the now disclosed SCP-XXXX-1 has been noted to "not be able to stop playing" as they continue to repeat Für Elise over and over again. The Human subject repeatedly screams until eventually they are completely encased in the tar-like mucus. Although their screams are silenced, however, they continue to play Für Elise until forcefully removed from SCP-XXXX.

Addendum XXXX.2: Communication ██/██/██ SCP-XXXX has shown signs of communication over the coming months. At this current time, SCP-XXXX has only the ability to talk through the notes it can play, these being: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. This method of communication was discovered when [DATA EXPUNGED] was closely examining the abnormal electronics that make up that of SCP-XXXX. After discovery of this ability to communicate, an interview regarding Dr. James Afton and SCP-XXXX was organised in order to more closely understand SCP-XXXX's intentions and thoughts after its now gained sentience. The following is the interview conducted by Dr. James Afton during the investigation of SCP-5328's current signs of sentience.

Interviewer: Dr. James Afton, Site-██

Interviewee: SCP-XXXX

ALL INFORMATION REGARDING SCP-5658

+ Show non-explicit description

Description: SCP-5658’s are abstract art piece’s that appear to be heavily inspired by modernism paintings between the years 2004 through 2015. According to information provided by SCP-5658-A-2, Presumably, all of the SCP-5658’s are from the “Light may not gaze upon death” art collection showcased in the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec located in Albi, France. As far as the foundation is aware, this art collection has never existed and has never been showcased in any art gallery or museum to date, making the official origins of SCP-5658 currently unknown.

As of right now, handling and observing activated SCP-5658’s has no anomalous effects on the handler or observer. However, If anyone is to observe either a digital or physical copy of an inactivated SCP-5658 without any form of protection or eye wear, the observer will immediately become entranced by the SCP-5658 and will be unable to look away. Approximately 5 minutes after observing, The observer's body will begin to overheat, and their heart rate will begin to rise at an extremely fast rate until eventually, the observer goes into a fatal cardiac arrest, terminating them. Once the observer is terminated the SCP-5658 that was observed will activate, and begin to transmit anywhere between 8,500 and 38,000 mSv in Ultraviolet radiation, stretching into a 14 square kilometer radius from the exact point of the observer's corpse, for approximately 12 hours. Causing concentrated rapid mutations and cell growth to any surrounding material, both organic and inorganic.

The appearance of these mutations varies depending on the materials being mutated. However, they all have a consistent theme of bright vibrant colors becoming more prominent and the material itself stretching out into unrealistic lengths while becoming more glass or metal-like. It is also fairly common for the mutated material to begin to emit a faint aura of phosphorus and other glowing-based chemical compounds. This process of rapid mutation causes the atoms of these materials to become unstable, making any materials extremely radioactive. Despite this more then lethal amount of radiation, any biological life form caught within SCP-5658’s radius will not receive direct radiation poisoning. Instead, they will undergo a slower mutation process similar to that of normal materials mutated by SCP-5658's. (All biological humanoid life forms inflicted by these mutations are classified as SCP-5658-X-?.)

The psychical mutations that an SCP-5658-X-? might receive are usually beneficial, Examples of this include; excessive bone and muscle growth, regenerative properties, controllable adrenaline hormones, and an increase in agility and strength. These mutations however do seem to also affect brain function, causing a majority of SCP-5658-X-? to see signs of severe Psychosis and Depression.

Addendum-1: An SCP-5658 Will only inactivate if it is being damaged in some form or is in an environment with less than 35 mSv present. Using a modified military grade Geiger counter. A device for measuring radioactivity by detecting and counting ionizing particles.on site staff are able predict when an SCP-5658 is about to inactivate.

Addendum-2: If someone observes an SCP-5658 and they are removed fast enough, they are in fact able to be recovered before they reach the cardiac arrest phase. Thus stopping the activation process. However Therapy may have to be applied to the observer afterwards.

---

Addendum-3: While it is not yet tested, illustrations and vivid thoughts of an inactivated SCP-5658 may possibly cause activation. This method may also be able to manifest or create new SCP-5658. This however has also not been tested.

Discovery: On 2019/01/04 at 15:43 pm, Dr. Boletus received coordinates Via Instant messenger on a private social media account from one: "TLRF#9809." The foundation was made aware of this as a potential anomaly and began to run an investigation on the account. However exactly 4 minutes after the investigation began, the account was deleted along with any and all information regarding said account, thus leaving no evidence of its existence.

On 2019/01/11 at 5:03 am, a small MTF team was sent out to the coordinates sent to Dr. Boletus. There, they discovered 4 paintings concealed with what appeared to be bed sheets. These paintings would eventually be brought to Site-██ and would later be classified as SCP-5658-A, SCP-5658-B, SCP-5658-C, and SCP-5658-D respectfully.

Incident: Amelia-5658

Location: Site-181, ███████████

Anomalies involved: SCP-5658-A, SCP-5658-A-1

Total number of casualties: 18. After incident: Booker-5658 it is now believed that SCP-5658-A-1 and SCP-5658-A-2 where both staff at Site-181. Therefore the originally reported 18 casualties has now been recounted as 16.

Damage report: Site-181 has undergone several major mutations causing intense structural damage and layout changes threw out the building. Due to this the entire west wing of the building has collapsed. And the basement has become flooded with an unknown radioactive liquid.

Incident: On 2019/01/22 at 1:22 am, a test was being conducted by Dr. Boletus in testing chamber F-2, only 18 staff where within the building at the time. The experiment was to have D-4593 create an illustration of SCP-5658-A and SCP-5658-B. Approximately 15 minutes into the experiment (1:37 am) SCP-5658-A reactivated, causing D-4593 to enter a cardiac arrest, This cardiac arrest quickly resulted in her death. The cause of the reactivation is currently unknown.

Shortly after her death SCP-5658-A began to emit 21,909 mSv. Rapidly mutating the west wing of the building causing walls and floors to momentarily become electrified from an unknown source.

After another 15 minutes (1:52 am) Dr. Boletus, Dr. Kultyas, and Dr. Hench attempted leave the testing chamber's main observatory room. While leaving Dr.Hench took it upon himself to record footage of this event on his cell phone. The recovered footage shows Dr. Kultyas and Dr. Boletus running from the testing chamber's observatory, as they failed to navigate the now altered layout of Site-181. They progressed down the hallway towards the newly located north wing only to be stopped on the emergency stairwell by an unknown humanoid entity. (Presumably an SCP-5658-A-1) Once stopped, the unknown entity begins to flinch and writhe in unpredictable fast jerky movements, before lunging at Dr. Hench breaking the cell the phone, stopping the recording.

Approximately 4 days later (2019/01/26) The 05 council decided it was in the foundations best interest to attempt to retrieve SCP-5658, and samples of any byproducts created. On 2019/01/26 7:35 am, MTF Beta-7 was sent out to Site-181 on a containment/exploration mission. However due to the dangerous levels of radiation the mission only lasted 28 minutes. During the mission they where able to successfully discover and collect SCP-5658-A, SCP-5658-B, SCP-5658-C, and SCP-5658-D in various locations threw out the building, along with various material samples and radiated items, including Dr Hench's phone. The bodies of Dr. Boletus, Dr. Kultyas, and Dr. Hench where never found, nor was the unknown entity seen on the footage. At 8:03 am the mission was concluded and was deemed as a success.

Incident: Booker-5658

Location: Site-95, ██████

Anomalies involved: SCP-5658-A-2

Total number of casualties: 1

Damage report: Site-95's standard keter class humanoid containment cell has received radiological burns on both the interior and exterior of the cell. Along with this, the cells original steel and bronze alloy has become mutated into a new unknown radioactive substance, emitting radiation of about 65 mSv.

Incident: After the events of Amelia-5658 Site-181 became a research ground for anomalous radiation research and SCP-5658 experiments. On 2019/02/13 14:14 pm, a junior research staff member on site had spotted a humanoid entity roaming the north wing of the building. The siting was reported and approximately 17 minutes later (14:31 pm), MTF Beta-7 returned to Site-181 to contain the entity. Once the MTF team arrived the entity in question was waiting for them by the front entrance of the north wing, assuming a surrender position.

The entity was then placed into a portable lead containment cell and delivered to Site-95. While at Site-95 the entity was placed within a standard keter class containment cell within the basement of the facility. The entity in question was then analyzed and classified as SCP-5658-A-2. At the time of its containment SCP-5658-A-2 was very docile and appeared to be incapable of speech, complicated motor function, and proper understanding of its surroundings. After 6 days of somewhat idle behavior and no attempts to escape, eat food, or even sleep, SCP-5658-A-2 was announced brain dead.

However, On 2019/02/26 13:29 pm, SCP-5658-A-2 suddenly entered a panicked state and began banging and scrapping its hands against the cell walls. Director Higgins was then quickly notified of SCP-5658-A-2's extreme behavioral switch, however Director Higgins decided it was "too dangerous to allow anyone to enter the cell, let alone calm SCP-5658-A-2 down." And so staff where only permitted to only observe, and nothing else. After 8 minutes (13:32 pm) of this behavior, SCP-5658-A-2 began to burn several messages into its cell with some type of radiological heat emitting from its hands. The following is every tangible message that was burned into SCP-5658-A-2's cell:

---

"How much longer?"

"Not enough time."

"..The paintings are from france, the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec…Light may not gaze upon death collection.."

"I am not a monster."

"Then what are you?"

"Stop struggling."

"Who are you?"

"Stop."

"Why must you deny me."

"Its so hot."

"Stop laughing."

"Why are we here?"

"Why are you inside?"

"Inside of what?"

"The paintings are too strong for you all to contain."

"You are all murderers."

"do you exist?"

"How many of you are there!?"

"You can't fight me."

"I'm not trying to fight you."

"Who's fighting what?"

"I'm not fighting either you."

"Are you?"

"CALM DOWN."

"You never answered my question, who are you?"

"James."

"James Boletus?

"Yes?"

"WHY IS IT SO HOT!?"

"…The painting of purple and sharp lines isn't made by man nor woman…"

"How do you know that?"

"The lines."

"SHUT UP!"

"Cathy is that you?"

"You all need to silence."

"Light may not gaze upon death."

---

Shortly after the final message was burned, SCP-5658-A-2 began to smash its face against the wall with enough force to make indents into the cell. It was at this point that Director Higgins decided too send in 3 armed guards to prevent SCP-5658-A-2 from taking its own life. However it was of no use, On 2019/02/26 13:41 pm, SCP-5658-A-2 had terminated itself with extreme blunt force trauma to the head. SCP-5658-A-2's corpse was then taken to Site-██ for further autopsy and investigation, And Site-95 was deemed: "Too inept to secure even the most basic of SCP." By the 05 council.

Description: SCP-5658-A is an oil panting approximately 24x16 inches, painted with high concentrated Sennelier brand oil paint. Heavily insinuating that SCP-5658-A has some type of European origin. The painting itself appears to be a humanoid mask or face shrouded in a void of miscellaneous shapes and vibrant pastel colors. The painting appears to have a consistent theme of repeating subtle patterns and shapes threw out the piece. However Strange jagged and irregular shapes also appear, having certain angels and strokes that are almost too precise for human creation, combined with the information provided by Dr. Boletus's recovered research, it is believed that SCP-5658-A is not man-made.

Shortly after her death SCP-5658-A began to emit 21,909 mSv. Rapidly mutating the west wing of the building causing walls and floors to momentarily become electrified from an unknown source.

After another 15 minutes (1:52 am) Dr. Boletus, Dr. Kultyas, and Dr. Hench attempted leave the testing chamber's main observatory room. While leaving Dr.Hench took it upon himself to record footage of this event on his cell phone. The recovered footage shows Dr. Kultyas and Dr. Boletus running from the testing chamber's observatory, as they failed to navigate the now altered layout of Site-181. They progressed down the hallway towards the newly located north wing only to be stopped on the emergency stairwell by an unknown humanoid entity. (Presumably an SCP-5658-A-1) Once stopped, the unknown entity begins to flinch and writhe in unpredictable fast jerky movements, before lunging at Dr. Hench breaking the cell the phone, stopping the recording.

Approximately 4 days later (2019/01/26) The 05 council decided it was in the foundations best interest to attempt to retrieve SCP-5658, and samples of any byproducts created. On 2019/01/26 7:35 am, MTF Beta-7 was sent out to Site-181 on a containment/exploration mission. However due to the dangerous levels of radiation the mission only lasted 28 minutes. During the mission they where able to successfully discover and collect SCP-5658-A, SCP-5658-B, SCP-5658-C, and SCP-5658-D in various locations threw out the building, along with various material samples and radiated items, including Dr Hench's phone. The bodies of Dr. Boletus, Dr. Kultyas, and Dr. Hench where never found, nor was the unknown entity seen on the footage. At 8:03 am the mission was concluded and was deemed as a success.

Incident: Booker-5658

Location: Site-95, ██████

Anomalies involved: SCP-5658-A-2

Total number of casualties: 1

Damage report: Site-95's standard keter class humanoid containment cell has received radiological burns on both the interior and exterior of the cell. Along with this, the cells original steel and bronze alloy has become mutated into a new unknown radioactive substance, emitting radiation of about 65 mSv.

Incident: After the events of Amelia-5658 Site-181 became a research ground for anomalous radiation research and SCP-5658 experiments. On 2019/02/13 14:14 pm, a junior research staff member on site had spotted a humanoid entity roaming the north wing of the building. The siting was reported and approximately 17 minutes later (14:31 pm), MTF Beta-7 returned to Site-181 to contain the entity. Once the MTF team arrived the entity in question was waiting for them by the front entrance of the north wing, assuming a surrender position.

The entity was then placed into a portable lead containment cell and delivered to Site-95. While at Site-95 the entity was placed within a standard keter class containment cell within the basement of the facility. The entity in question was then analyzed and classified as SCP-5658-A-2. At the time of its containment SCP-5658-A-2 was very docile and appeared to be incapable of speech, complicated motor function, and proper understanding of its surroundings. After 6 days of somewhat idle behavior and no attempts to escape, eat food, or even sleep, SCP-5658-A-2 was announced brain dead.

However, On 2019/02/26 13:29 pm, SCP-5658-A-2 suddenly entered a panicked state and began banging and scrapping its hands against the cell walls. Director Higgins was then quickly notified of SCP-5658-A-2's extreme behavioral switch, however Director Higgins decided it was "too dangerous to allow anyone to enter the cell, let alone calm SCP-5658-A-2 down." And so staff where only permitted to only observe, and nothing else. After 8 minutes (13:32 pm) of this behavior, SCP-5658-A-2 began to burn several messages into its cell with some type of radiological heat emitting from its hands. The following is every tangible message that was burned into SCP-5658-A-2's cell:

---

"How much longer?"

"Not enough time."

"..The paintings are from france, the Musée Toulouse-Lautrec…Light may not gaze upon death collection.."

"I am not a monster."

"Then what are you?"

"Stop struggling."

"Who are you?"

"Stop."

"Why must you deny me."

"Its so hot."

"Stop laughing."

"Why are we here?"

"Why are you inside?"

"Inside of what?"

"The paintings are too strong for you all to contain."

"You are all murderers."

"do you exist?"

"How many of you are there!?"

"You can't fight me."

"I'm not trying to fight you."

"Who's fighting what?"

"I'm not fighting either you."

"Are you?"

"CALM DOWN."

"You never answered my question, who are you?"

"James."

"James Boletus?

"Yes?"

"WHY IS IT SO HOT!?"

"…The painting of purple and sharp lines isn't made by man nor woman…"

"How do you know that?"

"The lines."

"SHUT UP!"

"Cathy is that you?"

"You all need to silence."

"Light may not gaze upon death."

---

Shortly after the final message was burned, SCP-5658-A-2 began to smash its face against the wall with enough force to make indents into the cell. It was at this point that Director Higgins decided too send in 3 armed guards to prevent SCP-5658-A-2 from taking its own life. However it was of no use, On 2019/02/26 13:41 pm, SCP-5658-A-2 had terminated itself with extreme blunt force trauma to the head. SCP-5658-A-2's corpse was then taken to Site-██ for further autopsy and investigation, And Site-95 was deemed: "Too inept to secure even the most basic of SCP." By the 05 council.

Total number of causalities caused: 16

Total number of SCP-A-1's created: 2

Description: SCP-5658-A is an oil panting approximately 24x16 inches, painted with high concentrated Sennelier brand oil paint. Heavily insinuating that SCP-5658-A has some type of European origin. The painting itself appears to be a humanoid mask or face shrouded in a void of miscellaneous shapes and vibrant pastel colors. The painting appears to have a consistent theme of repeating subtle patterns and shapes threw out the piece. However Strange jagged and irregular shapes also appear, having certain angels and strokes that are almost too precise for human creation, combined with the information provided by Dr. Boletus's recovered research, it is believed that SCP-5658-A is not man-made.

Description: SCP-5658-B is an abstract oil pastel painting approximately 22x12 inches baring light shades of blue and white, to form basic shapes with terrain like textures. Unlike other SCP-5658, SCP-5658-B rarely repeats shapes and patterns and seems to lack any obvious humanoid like imagery. However, several researchers claim to see multiple humanoid eyes subtly hidden within the painting, these claims have been written off as Pareidolia.

WARNING: [DATA CORRUPTED] - Maria Jones, RAISA.

Item #: SCP-3379

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: [DATA CORRUPTED]

Description: SCP-3379 is an alternate separate dimension, connected to baseline reality using unknown methods. The full contents of SCP-3379 are currently unknown, but it has been shown that at least four (4) anomalous objects (designated SCP-3379-1 through -4) exist within SCP-3379.

The following descriptions of these objects have been provided below, please beware that these descriptions may contain mistakes as the objects are still being researched.

SCP-3379-1: A humanoid merged with a box at the waist. The humanoid superficially resembles a baseline human male. The instances inner body possesses no anatomical structure, and is completely empty. Despite this, SCP-3379-1 behaves as a baseline human male.

SCP-3379-2: Resembles a cardboard box that teleports to a random location in SCP-3379 every 14 seconds.

SCP-3379-3: Overwatch Command, but contains SCP-3379-3. It can also be described as being an infinitely-recursive object. The exact appearance of SCP-3379-3 is currently limited to Overwatch Command members.

SCP-3379-4: A typical housefly with the ability to speak any words written by O5-2 in it's language.

CAPTION-GOES-HERE

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures as of April 24, ████

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-XXXX, containment is currently impossible. However, containment is not necessary so long as the guidelines below are followed in the case of a XXXX-Alpha event.

1. Within 72 hours of a predicted XXXX-Alpha event, weather advisories indicting heavy rains are to be sent to the town of Pipestone, Minnesota. These advisories will also encourage residents to leave the town.
2. Within 24 hours of a XXXX-Alpha event, all internet and phone access is to be cut to the town of Pipestone. This is to be done under the guise of the incoming storm. In addition, Mobile Task Force XXXX is to be contacted and requested for assistance in containment of XXXX-Alpha.
3. Within 6 hours of a XXXX-Alpha event, MTF XXXXXX is to move to the perimeter of the town and complete a sweep of the town, checking for any residents who failed to leave. Any residents found are to be temporarily detained at observational post 21 until the end of a XXXX-Alpha event. Once the event has concluded, they are to be amnesticized with Class B amnestics and are to be returned home.
4. Once the sweep has been finished, all agents are to return to observational post 21 and wait until after the event has concluded to do a second sweep of the town. Any individuals found are to be amnesticized and returned home.
5. After the second sweep has been finished, all personnel are to evacuate the town and return to observational post 21, where observation of potential XXXX-Alpha events will resume. MTF XXXX are to only be present at observational post 21 when a potential XXXX-Alpha event is predicted or occurring.

In addition to these guidelines, the Foundation is currently in the process of convincing the remaining population to leave the town, so-as to be able to close the town permanently. Attempts have been unsuccessful, however further immigration into the town has been suspended for the indefinite future. Until the town can be permanently evacuated, all researchers involved in the containment of SCP-XXXX are to remain at observational post 21 to monitor weather patterns and potential information leaks from residents.

Special Containment Procedures as of April 24, 2010

Special Containment Procedures: With the construction of a dam around the Southern branch of Pipestone Creek, all anomalous activity has ceased. Observational Post 21 has been left manned by two level two researchers and the necessary weather monitoring equipment for potential XXXX-Alpha events.

As of April 24, 2010, no XXXX-Alpha events have occurred and the designation has been changed from Euclid to Neutralized.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a weather anomaly and entities that exist during the event. The first being a heavy rainstorm occurring over the town of Pipestone, Minnesota. This rainstorm, and the subsequent fog that follows, is referred to as a XXXX-Alpha event. Following the rainstorm, a large fog will settle on the town and entities comprised of water droplets will wander aimlessly until they encounter other sapient creatures, these entities are designated XXXX-1. The number of entities fluctuates between events, with the most being recorded at 48 and the least being recorded at 12. The fog will last until precisely 6:53 pm, wherein both fog and XXXX-1 entities will dissipate.

Meteorological scans have shown that both the rain and fog can occur when not physically possible despite temperature and precipitation patterns, the source of this phenomena has yet to be determined. Regardless of the current weather, within three days of April 24th, small clouds will begin to migrate and accumulate over Pipestone. For unknown reasons, the water in the Southern branch of Pipestone Creek will begin to float through the air into the sky and fill the clouds, creating storm clouds. Once the clouds have reached appropriate weight, rain will begin around April 23rd and lasts until the early morning of April 24th; fog will begin to settle as the rain ends. Testing of the water which comprises XXXX-1 entities has failed to show anything beyond normal atmospheric water, with standard levels of sediment and pollution that would be expected of any precipitation.

When XXXX-1 entities viewed digitally or from a distance greater than fifty meters, XXXX-1 will resemble child-sized humanoids comprised of water. When subjects view entities at a closer distance, SCP-XXXX-1 will resemble the deceased child John Nelson, subjects will feel compelled to play with the entity and help it in any way they can. Despite there being multiple entities, subjects under the effect of XXXX-1 will only see the first instance they encountered and always identify it as John Nelson. Subjects will also claim that XXXX-1 can speak to them and will be able to recollect bits of conversation they had with entities. To date, no recording or observation from a greater distance has shown that XXXX-1 is able to communicate or is in any way related to the Nelson family.

The only time XXXX-1 has shown itself to be hostile was on April 24, ████, it's discovery date. For more information involving it's discovery, see Addendum XXXX-01.

Addendum XXXX-01: On April 24, ████, SCP-XXXX came to the attention of the Foundation as pictures of XXXX-1 entities flooded social media sites. Mobile Task Force XXXXX was dispatched along with level 3 researchers to investigate the town and stop the spread of anomalous information. When MTF XXXXX arrived on scene, they fell under the effect of XXXX-1 and helped it carry out the murder of Tim Larson. Afterwards, bodycam footage showed MTF XXXXX escorting the body to the Southern branch of Pipestone Creek and promptly submerging the body in the creek. The body was never recovered and this event was titled XXXX Incident Delta. Every following XXXX-Alpha event has been standard and uneventful since Incident Delta.

Following the first XXXX-Alpha event, towns members and MTF agents were interviewed in the hopes of better understanding what occurred during Incident Delta.

+ Interview Log 1

Interviewed: Jay Shellson, a resident of Pipestone at the time of Incident Delta.

Interviewer: Dr. D███, referred to as 'Doctor'.

Foreword: This interview was conducted at observational post 21 after the conclusion of Incident Delta. After the interview, subject was administered Class B amnestics and returned home.

<Begin Log>

Doctor: You claim these beings were someone you knew? Who?

Jay Shellson: Hey, I didn't know the kid all too well, I just heard about when he died ya'know?

Doctor: You identified the entities as John Nelson, is that correct?

Jay Shellson: Like I said, I didn't Nelson's kid, all I know is that he died a while ago. It was all over the news, local kid falls in the river, body's never recovered, stuff like that.

Doctor: And you felt something you said?

Jay Shellson: Yeah, yeah. When I saw the kid or whatever the hell it was…it looked sad. It looked like it didn't belong…and I don't know, like he needed help. All I remember is following him and talking to him, can't really remember what we did besides playing together.

Doctor: Mr. Shellson, do you remember going to the creek?

Jay Shellson: Ye-no. No, I don't. All I know is we were in the street and the kid wanted to go biking but we couldn't find a bike.

Doctor: Thank you for your time, please follow me out.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Jay Shellson was present at Incident Delta yet can't remember it. Similar reports from other involved individuals have been reported.

+ Interview Log 2

Interviewed: MTF Agent Sarah ██████████, referred to as 'Agent'.

Interviewer: Dr. D███, referred to as 'Doctor'.

Foreword: Agent Sarah ██████████ was involved in Incident Delta and remembers different information than other individuals involved. This interview is being conducted to discover more information about why Incident Delta occurred.

<Begin Log>

Doctor: Am I correct in assuming that before Incident Delta you had no knowledge of John Nelson?

Agent: I've never been here before, so no, I didn't know him.

Doctor: What do you remember from your time under its influence?

Agent: I remember it feeling…hurt. It felt betrayed, and alone. God, he felt so alone. He just wanted to see his mom again.

Doctor: Did you see more than one child?

Agent: I only saw John, no one else.

Doctor: Can you recall what happened at the creek?

Agent: He wanted to show me his favorite bike path, he showed me this real muddy hill. Looked so unstable, especially during the spring.

Doctor: Agent?

Agent: He fell, and he was so cold…he couldn't breath. The water was too deep, he feel in, off his bike. And he didn't help him, he just stood there and watched.

Doctor: Who are you talking about?

Agent: I…I… I can't remember.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: After additional testing and interviewing, Agent Sarah ██████████ was granted Class B Amnestics, wishing to forget her involvement in Incident Delta.

+ Interview Log 3

Interviewed: May Nelson

Interviewer: Dr. D███, referred to as 'Reporter'.

Foreword: Mother of the child subjects reported seeing. Interview preformed in her house thirteen hours after Incident Delta. Subject was informed that this would be an interview for the local news channel. Subject was amnesticized after interview.

<Begin Log>

Reporter: Mrs. Nelson, you claim that these entities were nothing more than water?

May Nelson: Well…yes. I know some people were talking about how they looked like children but I just can't see it. Always was told I wasn't the creative type.

Reporter: I know we already covered it some time ago, but we'd like to talk about your son if that's alright.

May Nelson: Seems the only thing I'm good for nowadays is remembering him. No one else comes around anymore now that he's gone, god rest his soul.

Reporter: Can you tell us about his disappearance?

May Nelson: He was with his friend on the old bike trail, that old Larson kid. I always told him to stay in town but he was headstrong like that, real persistent kid. Real terrible what happened, they both got of their bikes and swam in the creek, 'corse it was in April so the snow was melting and the creek was a lot deeper than it usually is. Their bodies were never found.

Reporter: Excuse me, but did you say their bodies?

May Nelson: Well yeah. Both kids drowned that day.

Reporter: Are you sure about that?

May Nelson: I try not to think about that day, but I know both of them went out and neither of them came back. That's all I know about it.

Reporter: In the original report you gave last year, you said only your son drowned. Are you positive both children died last year?

[Mrs. Nelson becomes more agitated]

May Nelson:Sir, I'm telling you what happened. I know I'm old but I ain't that old to be forgetting things yet. Both kids drowned. Is there anything else you want?

Reporter: No…I'm afraid that will be all.

May Nelson: Then you can see yourself out.

<End Log>

Closing Statement: Subject was restrained by MTF and administered Class B amnestics. Additional interviews with residents have given similar responses, despite Larson being alive until Incident Delta, everyone in the community believes he died last year with Mrs. Nelson's son. Investigation is ongoing.

Addendum XXXX-02: After several years of containing the yearly anomaly, a new concept has been proposed on containment. A dam is being constructed around the site of Incident Delta to cut off water flow into the creek. Should this dam nullify Alpha events from occurring, Object Class will change from Euclid to Neutralized.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 3 meter by 3 meter room, but can walk around the facility freely.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a 15-year-old human boy, approximately 172 cm in height. It has curly blonde hair, its eyes appear to show a solar system. When a subject looks into SCP-XXXX’s eyes, they describe it as “The most beautiful thing they’ve ever seen.” SCP-XXXX’s eye displays the anomalous ability; whenever a subject looks into its eyes, it can only tell the absolute truth. Has an IQ score of 199, it is completely mentally stable and even stops to have conversations with its guards. When the guards were asked what the conversations consisted of, they said they were about different events in history. SCP-XXXX is shown to have extensive knowledge of events in history as well as scientific and mathematical knowledge. SCP-XXXX wears a white button-up shirt, a red tie, a red sweater vest, and black pants. It carries a small pocket watch with a star emblem on the top. The pocket watch has been designated SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX never parts ways with the SCP-XXXX-A. SCP-XXXX-A has the ability to travel forward and backward in time when adjusting the hands on the watch.

Addendum: SCP-XXXX has had multiple cases of disappearing from his CC, whenever staff go to give it food. It was gone, SCP-XXXX was found in a near-by city attempting buy a, quote 'real meal'. He was re-contained shortly after. When asked why he escaped, he simply stated "My sweater vest was getting too small. The food you give me is not the best for trying to stay slim." SCP-XXXX is now known to care about his weight.

Addendum: During an interview with SCP-XXXX, it expressed interest in becoming a researcher for the foundation. SCP-XXXX was granted an application to the O5 council for review. The O5 granted SCP-XXXX a trial period to see how well he preforms as a Junior researcher.

Addendum: SCP-XXXX is now a researcher for the foundation. He has been allowed clearance level 3 and is free to walk around the facility. This will not only prevent him from attempting to escape, but could also prove to make some break throughs.

The “Candy Man”

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in an anomalous object containment cell in Site 88 Specialised Humanoid Containment Cell-XXXX in Site 88.

Light security is sufficient No personnel are allowed on the premises of Cell-XXXX without the permission of Dr. Foster, Amanda Malkin, or Dr. Morse. Violators will be severely punished and transferred. All entrances to Cell-XXXX are to be pressure locked. Absolutely no ventilation should be attached to Cell-XXXX. Weekly inspections by Dr. Morse should be held to judge the integrity of the walls. Any punctures made to the walls should be sealed immediately and Procedure XXXX should be conducted. If Procedure XXXX is successful, no further action is necessary. If unsuccessful, containment breach protocol should ensue.

Procedure XXXX entails giving a D-class subject an instance of SCP-XXXX-B for consumption. Lights in Cell XXXX are dimmed, and if the subject is deceased after 24-hours, the procedure is a success. If the subject survives, the procedure is a failure.

Specialised diet consists of live quadrupeds raw meat. Cell-XXXX shall be equipped with an air lock system that will maintain the integrity of the cell during feeding.

All instances of SCP-XXXX-B shall be taken from SCP-XXXX-A by Lab Curator Hutchinson and taken to Lab 3 for examination for termination for storage until requested by Dr. Morse. Instances of SCP-XXXX-B shall be stored in Safe XXXX-B until full. Once full, older samples should be terminated by incineration and replaced with newly collected samples. Lab Curator Hutchinson, Dr. Morse, Amanda Malkin and Dr. Forester are the only ones allowed to know the combination to Safe XXXX-B. Retrieval of samples, stocking and documenting samples, and terminating old samples will be conducted expressly by Lab Curator Hutchinson. All other personnel are to leave Lab 3 during all processes regarding Safe XXXX-B until their conclusion.

IMPORTANT: Any personal, regardless of position, who is found to have consumed any instance of SCP-XXXX-B, is to be locked in Cell-XXXX, where they will be observed by Dr. Morse.

SCP-XXXX-A is to be polished and oiled occasionally. Along with inspecting Cell-XXXX, Dr. Morse will also conduct weekly inspections of SCP-XXXX-A to check for oxidization. All oxidation should be removed immediately to ensure the structural integrity of SCP-XXXX-A. To maintain experimental integrity, the glass of SCP-XXXX-A is also to remain polished as well.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a cast-iron candy machine with the inscription, “Guaranteed to Make You Smile!”. The price of the candy is known to be 50 cents, and The machine takes any kind of American coin.

Despite prior suspicions, there seems to be nothing anomalous about SCP-XXXX, though its denotation has remained the same.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-A resemble a wide assortment of name-brand candies. Some of the brands include [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED]⁵. There seems to be no affiliation between SCP-XXXX and these companies. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A are completely edible and safe to digest, exhibiting no known side-effects or anomalous properties themselves. It is possible that they are generated by SCP-XXXX-B’s mist form, since it has been demonstrated that SCP-XXXX-B’s can spontaneously generate objects through its mist form, though no experiment has been conducted to prove this theory.

SCP-XXXX-B is an anomalous object capable of spontaneously generating instances of SCP-XXXX-A. Outside of spontaneous generation, anomalous properties are presently unknown.

SCP-XXXX-B is an anomalous humanoid residing inside around under in [RELATION TO OBJECT UNKNOWN] SCP-XXXX.

SCP-XXXX-B is considered hostile to humans when they consume any instance of SCP-XXXX-A.

Addendum: Experiment C has been reclassified as Incident XXXX by order of the Ethics Committee. All Class-C Personal involved with Incident XXXX have been discharged or relocated.

March 23

Morning Briefing

NOTE: The following log was recorded while SCP-XXXX was in transit to Site-88. First contact had been made by the Foundation without incident, and no known anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX were known at this time.

<Begin Log, March 23, 2021, 09:01>

Dr. Morse: Dr. Gears. Dr. Glass. Pleasure to finally meet your acquaintance. We are recording this conversation per Site-88 protocol. No doubt you are curious about why I’ve brought you both here.

Dr. Glass: Yes. Very much so. (Looks at Dr. Gears)

Dr. Morse: As of 01:00 today, we have recovered an anomalous object that we have been able to link to a number of attacks in the ████████ area. You have seen the photos in the file I sent to you, no doubt?

Dr. Gears: Affirmative.

Dr. Morse: The lacerations on facial structure suggest that the cheeks were removed from inside the mouth. The cuts were irregular, thus we have reason to suspect non-surgical instruments were used to remove the facial tissue, like something tore them out instead of cutting them out. We don’t know exactly what we are dealing with, and we aren’t ruling anything out so far. We decided to bring you on to this project as advisors because experience of your caliber is needed for the sensitive nature of this particular project.

Dr. Glass: How sensitive are we talking?

Dr. Morse: The pictures in your file were of Caroline and Peter ██████, both age ten. Peter was declared deceased as of March 19th. Caroline survived, but is experiencing PTSD symptoms and hasn’t been able to talk to anyone since her release from the hospital last night. Glass, I need you to crack her. She is our best chance at understanding what we are up against here.

Dr. Glass: Well, that could take some time. It may be weeks before she opens up. Someone with that level of shell shock needs some time to process what happened, and diving in too early can cause damage to the brain.

Dr. Morse: We don’t have time, and you’ll do as you're told. You’re at Site-88 now, we have jurisdiction here. Your role is to advise, and we will take that advice into consideration. You run everything by me before you do it. If you do not follow my orders, I will have you replaced.

Dr. Glass: (Smiles and salutes) Yes Ma’am!

(Blank stares)

…Tough crowd, huh.

Dr. Morse: (continuing) Gears, Your expertise with Euclid-class threats is vital. All information gathered about the SCP I need synthesised into a working theory and explained. I want to know everything there is to know about this thing.

Dr. Gears: I am capable of following these instructions.

Dr. Morse: Good. You have five hours to get situated before Caroline arrives at 14:00 for her first interview. I want you both there. Look back over the files. Dismissed.

<End Log, March 23, 09:06>

SCP Status Update

<Status Update, March 23>

SCP-XXXX has been safely transferred from ███████████████████ and has been moved to Cell-195 for Safe Level containment. All instances of SCP-XXXX-A have been removed and, per Dr. Morse’s request, have been transferred to Lab 3 for analysis. Testing with SCP-XXXX has been approved by Dr. Foster.

Caroline’s 1st Interview

<Begin Log, March 23, 2021, 15:13>

Dr. Glass: (Walks into room, smiles) Caroline ████████, Isn’t it? Its-s… Caroline?

(Caroline begins shakinging and rocking back and forth in her chair. She begins hyperventilating.)

(Kneeling beside her) Caroline. Listen to me- You’re having a panic attack. Repeat after me: 1,2,3

(Caroline continues to hyperventilate)

Repeat after me, Caroline: 7,3,8

Caroline: 7…3…8.

Dr. Glass: Good. 9,1,4.

Caroline: (Shaking decreases and breathing becomes regular) 9…1…4.

(Caroline takes a few deep breaths)

Dr. Glass: Feeling better? (Smiles)

(Caroline enters another panic attack)

Caroline? Repeat after me, okay? 1,3-

<End Log, March 23, 15:15>6

March 24

Morning Debrief

<Begin Log, March 24, 2021, 9:07>

Dr. Morse: I’m starting the Log. Sit down, Glass.

Dr. Glass: (Raised voice) Start it! I don’t care! I’ll say it on the record and off the record! I should be in the sessions with Caroline! I’m the professional!

Dr. Morse: You are the professional, which is why you will be able to communicate with Gears through an earpiece when he’s in there.

Dr. Glass: No! I Need to be in there! This kid is fragile! One wrong look or word could send her into a panic attack. I need to be able to read her body language, to see what she's thinking. Do you think Gears can do that! No! The guy doesn’t have a soul!

(Turning to Gears)

No offense.

Dr. Gears: Souls do not exist. All experience is the make up of cognitive stimuli forcing the brain to have a chemical reaction. The soul stipulates the presence of a free will, which according to the study of biochemistry and physics, does not exist. This is true for all humans. Therefore, you are correct, I do not have a soul, so I am not offended.

Dr. Glass: SEE WHAT I MEAN! He’ll ruin her!

Dr. Morse: Dr. Glass! Control yourself and have a seat! I expect you to behave like a professional! It is already decided. Gears will run the interviews from here on out. I am aware of Caroline’s fragile nature, which is why you will teach Gears to identify the signs of a panic attack if one is to occur and how to react accordingly.

Dr. Glass: That’s not going to work! It takes years to be able to recognise these things!

Dr. Morse: Gears was able to identify Caroline’s repulsion to smiling. You weren’t. I think he’ll do fine. Besides, Gears is the only one in the facility who could satisfy Caroline’s needs.

Dr. Glass: And how’s that?

Dr. Morse: (Imitating Dr. Glass’s voice) “The guy doesn’t have a soul”. Gear’s lack of emotional responses to any stimuli make him the perfect interviewer for Caroline. We don’t have to worry about him smiling on accident and setting Caroline off, a risk we run with you, Glass.

Dr. Glass: But-!

Dr. Morse: I’m not arguing with you, Glass. My decision is final. Our next interview is tonight at 17:00. Be there, ready to guide Gears through the interview. Understood?

Dr. Glass: (Sighs) Understood.

SCP Status Update

<Status Update, March 24>

Video surveillance records show more instances of SCP-XXXX-A appearing inside SCP-XXXX. Origin unknown. Cell-195 was locked all night, and surveillance confirms this. Surveillance notified Dr. Morse as soon as it saw that SCP-XXXX was full again. The new instances have been taken to Lab 3 for analysis.

Lab Report

<Lab Report>

Instances of SCP-XXXX-A exhibit no anomalous properties themselves. They are in fact composed of the ingredients that are listed under the “Ingredients” section on the packaging. The brand of candy seems to be inconsistent and random, ranging from hard candies like [REDACTED], to chocolate bar candies like [REDACTED], to assorted candies like [REDACTED]. As to their spontaneous generation, nothing about the specific instances themselves reveals anything. Thus their generation could be attributed to SCP-XXXX itself. The instances will remain here in Lab 3 for storage until Dr. Morse can definitively say that they are safe to consume, at which point I will take them home to my children.

Caroline’s 2nd Interview

NOTE: This is the first interview with Dr. Gears as the interviewer and Dr. Glass and Dr. Morse communicating to Dr. Gears through an earpiece. The italicised text denotes what Dr. Morse and Dr. Glass are saying through the earpiece.

<Begin Log, March 24, 2021, 19:02>

(Dr. Gears is sitting opposite Caroline. Caroline is looking at the ground.)

Dr. Gears:…

Caroline:…

Dr. Glass: You have to say something!

Dr. Gears: I have been told that I have to say something. Therefore, in order to fulfill that request, I relay that information to you.

(Caroline looks visibly confused, however remains looking at the ground.)

Dr. Glass: What was that?

Dr. Gears: I was fulfilling your request.

Dr. Glass: No! I meant break the ice.

Dr. Gears: I do not understand. I was not informed that ice was a part of this interview. I do not see how that will accomplish anything.

(Caroline giggles)

Dr. Glass: You are insufferable! Create rapport. Ask her some questions. Try to get her to talk.

Dr. Gears: I see.

(Places interlocked hands on table)

I am going to ask you some questions. First question. What are your thoughts on the mathematical implications of inter-dimensional projectiles demonstrating an inverted parabolic trajectory. Second question. Given these implications, what is the most practical way to travel from dimension A to dimension B without compromising the fabric of reality. Third question. Stipulating the existence of gravity proportional to our own, and excluding friction as a variable, what would this travel do to the physiology of a human passenger.

Dr. Glass: WHAT THE H-!

Caroline: You talk funny.

Dr. Gears: What.

(Caroline looks up at Dr. Gears)

Caroline: (Softly) You talk funny.

Dr. Gears: (Pauses) I- I talk funny… That was not my intent.

Caroline: (looks back down) Sorry.

Dr. Gears: I’m not offended and have no reason to be. You have detected a flaw in my communication. I apologise for my insufficiency.

Caroline: Oh. Okay.

Dr. Gears: …

Morning Debrief

<Begin Log, March 25, 2021, 9:00>

Dr. Morse: I’m starting the recording. Gentlemen, there’s been a development.

Dr. Glass: What kind of development?

Dr. Morse: Watch this surveillance footage.

Footage: |March 24, 23:19|- On screen is the Cell 195. A few seconds pass. Then, a mist seeps out from the edges of the door and rises towards the ceiling vent. This lasts only for about a minute. Dr. Morse fast-forwards an hour and 23 minutes. Same scene. After a few seconds, the mist comes out of the vent and goes through the cracks around the door.

Dr. Morse: Gears, what do you make of it?

Dr. Gears: (Squints, thinking) Hm… the gaseous substance seems to be guided. By what: unknown.

Dr. Glass: Do we know where the gas went?

Dr. Morse: Unclear. We don’t have surveillance systems by our topside vents, and our side cameras caught nothing. Nothing out of the usual has been reported. As of this moment, we are still a go on tonight’s interview. Glass, what do you have lined up?

Dr. Glass: I was thinking of doing word association.

Dr. Morse: Make a list and send it to me for approval. And make sure “vapor” is on the list.

Dr. Glass: (Smiles) You don’t trust me, do you.

Dr. Morse: I don’t trust anyone. That’s how I got to where I’m at.

Dr. Glass: Rough childhood, huh.

Dr. Morse:… Dismissed.

Farmer Johnson’s Complaint

NOTE: Farmer Johnson has lived on a plot adjacent to Site-88 for many years. The Foundation has received a number of complaints from him regarding the fumes put off by [REDACTED]. Johnson appears to have had no knowledge of the actual nature of Site-88 and [REDACTED], and thus posed no threat to the Foundation’s secrecy until the below complaint.

To whom it may concern,

What the goddamn hell are ya’ll doing over there in that factory of yours! For years, I have not complained of the smoke and the gas coming from your big ole silos, which stunt my crops.⁸ But this is downright haeneous!

I woke up last night to the sound of my cows panicking in my field, and I thought to myself, “It's them goddamn coyotes again.” So I roll over to my wife Ethel, and I says, “Ethel, it's them goddamn coyotes again. I’ll be back.” So I put my boots on and grab my shotgun and a flashlight. But wouldn’t you know it, it wasn’t them goddamn coyotes! It was a goddamn devil! It was taller than a horse and had a freaky smile, and it had gutted one of my meat cows! I shone a light on it, and that thing was hideous! Its eyes were going in two different directions and it started smoking or something! I nearly jumped out of my boots! I shot at it, and it didn’t seem to be bothered by that. And then all of a sudden it jumped up and turned into a big smoke cloud and started heading back to your plant! I followed it with my light until the edge of my fence and sure enough I saw it go into one of your vents!

Now what the hell are ya’ll doing over there! Your demon owes me an apology, and another cow! I barely make it as it is, and if you don’t reimburse me, I’m gonna sue your ass!

Sincerely,

Joe Buck Johnson

Dr. Morse’s Urgent Message

NOTE: This message was sent to Lab Curator Hutchinson in light of Farmer Johnson’s Complaint.

Hutchinson,

Do not under any circumstances consume any instances of SCP-XXXX-A. In fact, Gears and I have reason to believe that SCP-XXXX is not the true anomalous object we recovered, but something inside of it we are denoting as SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B is to be considered a Euclid class object. I repeat. SCP-XXXX-B is a Euclid class object. We advise you to store all instances of SCP-XXXX-A in a safe till we can determine whether or not they are safe to consume. Also, we have decided to construct Specialised Humanoid Containment Cell-XXXX adjacent to Lab 3 for secure access and storage of SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-A, and SCP-XXXX-B. I want all your attention to focus on these objects until I say otherwise. I will be seeing you in three hours for object analysis.

Caroline’s 3rd Interview

<Begin Log, March 25, 2021, 19:01>

(Dr. Gears enters the room)

Dr. Glass: Remember what we practiced Gears.

Dr. Gears: (Sits, places pad and paper on table) Caroline… How is your condition.

Caroline: (looking at the ground, shrugs)

Dr. Glass:(sighs) Alright, ask her some questions, make her feel more comfortable and-

Dr. Morse: No, we don’t have time, go to the list.

Dr. Gears: Very well. I have been instructed to proctor an experiment that involves your participation. I will say a word, and then you will associate that word with another word, allowing us to gauge your response.

Caroline: (looks confused)

Dr. Gears: I see that you do not understand. I must have been… funny. I will restate. The purpose of-

Dr. Morse: Just start, Gears!

Dr. Gears: Very well. I will commence. (looks at pad) Cat.

Caroline: Um…dog?

Dr. Gears: Very good. Airplane.

Caroline: Clouds, I guess…

Dr. Glass: She doesn’t understand, Christina.

Caroline: Swimsuit

Dr. Gears: Good. Water.

Caroline: Drowning

Dr. Gears:Good. Sofa

Caroline: Soft?

Dr. Gears: Good. Church.

Caroline: Boring. (giggles)

Dr. Gears: Good. Games.

Caroline: Playground?

Dr. Gears: Good. Knife.

Caroline: (looks up, wide eyed)…Cut.

Dr. Glass: Wait. This wasn’t in my list! What’d you do!

Dr. Morse: I don’t know what you mean, Glass.

Dr. Gears: Claws

Caroline: …Mouth

Dr. Gears: Teeth.

Caroline: …Smile. (A tear falls from right eye)

Dr. Gears: Vapor

Caroline:…

Dr. Gears: I repeat. Vapor.

Dr. Morse: Skip it, Gears! Don’t lose her!

(Another tear falls down Caroline’s face)

Dr. Gears: We will forgo Vapor. Next word. Cheeks.

Caroline: …Pain
Dr. Gears:Eyes

Caroline:…Devil

Dr. Gears: Monster

Caroline: ME! (Crying, puts her hands on her cheeks) I’m the monster! (Looks down sobbing)

Dr. Gears: (Visibly confused)

Dr. Morse: Finish the list, Gears.

Dr. Gears: (hesitant) Y-yes. Affirmative. (To Caroline) Smile.

Caroline: NO! NO! (Screams, her and her chair fall over) GET AWAY! (Shields eyes, as if trying to fend off or protect herself from something, slinks back into the room corner) DON'T TOUCH ME! NOOOO!(She starts rocking on the ground)

Morning Debrief

<Begin Log, March 26, 2021, 08:59>

Dr. Morse: Since we are all here, I’ll start the recording. Construction on Cell XXXX began yesterday and it is expected to be completed around 13:00 today. Lab reports are still inconclusive, but the interviews are going just as planned. Glass, what do you have lined up for tonight?

Dr. Glass:…

Dr. Morse: I asked you a question, Doctor. I would like a response.

Dr. Glass: No.

Dr. Morse: Excuse me.

Dr. Glass: No, I’m not doing this. You went behind my back and put a patient at serious psychological risk. I won’t do this job if my recommendations aren’t seriously considered.

Dr. Morse: You’re sounding like a greenie, Glass. Welcome to the Foundation! The personal lives of our subjects are of no concern to us. This is what we do.

Dr. Glass: Really? Going against protocol? Going against your peers and professional guidance? That’s what we do here? I’ve heard too many horror stories in my office to not know we push some serious moral boundaries. But when we do, it's always systematic. There’s always a procedure.

Dr. Morse: Time’s are changing here, Glass. Our variables change by the hour. We have to improvise when need be.

Dr. Glass: Improvise! You call ignoring professional advice improvising!

Dr. Morse: Dr. Glass! I do not need a critique of my leadership! If you want to get your act together and do your job, then be so kind as to inform us what we will be doing with Caroline.
Dr. Glass: I can’t believe this!

Dr. Morse: Do not make me ask a third time, doctor.

Dr. Glass: … I need to know that you won’t tamper with my procedure. I need to know that Caroline will be safe.

Dr. Morse: You have my word. The subject will be safe.

Dr. Glass: (Hesitates) Rorschach test. We run her through that and see if she can freely associate anything of value from her experience. Maybe we can narrow down what we’re dealing with.

Dr. Morse: Good. Very good. Gears, I want you there when we move SCP-XXXX-A to Cell XXXX. I want to run some ideas by you and see if we can’t coax this thing out of the machine.

Dr. Gears: I will be able to comply with these commands.

Dr. Morse: Good. Meeting adjo-

Lab 3 Surveillance Footage

<Begin Log, March 26, 2021, 13:46>

Video is taken by the camera above the main entryway door looking into the lab. There are three scientists sitting at the various tables, working on various projects. One kicks an object by its chair. He looks down. Puzzled he reaches for the object. It's a [REDACTED] bar. He chuckles. He looks at the scientist at the opposite table.

“Ay, yo, Joseph. You know whose this is?”
Joseph is currently trying to pour a specific amount of liquid into a beaker.

“A little busy, Daveed.”

“No, like, it’s a [REDACTED] bar. Everyone knows we ain’t supposed to have food in here.”

“I don’t know. I don’t care.”

From the opposite corner, the other scientist looks over to Daveed.

“Maybe it’s Carlson’s. He’s been smuggling snacks into the lab for years.”

“Bro, that’s facts! I saw him the other day and I swear I saw him trying to sneak an entire burrito into the lab!”

Daveed and the other scientist laugh.

Joseph sighs.

“Could both of you just shut up, I’ve been trying to get this serum right for three weeks.”

Daveed smirks and goes back to looking at the [REDACTED] bar. The other scientist goes back to rummaging through various equipment in the drawers. After a brief pause, Daveed looks at the other scientist rummaging.

“Ay, yo, Andre. Is Hutchinson here?”

Andre thinks for a second, and then turns away from the drawers.

“I haven’t seen him, man. Why, you gonna eat it?”

Daveed smiles.

“Ay, why not? Carlson gets away with it.”

Joseph speaks up.

“It’s your funeral if you get caught.”

Daveed opens the packaging and pops the candy into his mouth. Just then, Curator Hutchinson walks in with Dr. Morse.

“As I was telling you, ma’am, I am not certain that it would have any effect at long distance.”

They start to walk past Daveed’s table, who has fumbled the wrapper into his pocket and is trying not to chew.

“If we do some preliminary tests, I-”

Dr. Morse interrupts and looks at Daveed.

“Doctor, are you eating in the lab?”

Joseph finally puts his flask down.

“Busted.”

Daveed angrily gestures towards Joseph.

“Bro! What the hell!” he tries to say through the candy in his mouth.

Dr. Morse stands beside him, blocking him from view of the camera.

“Doctor, no food in labs is fifth grade level etiquette. You jeopardize every experiment in this lab by introducing a new variable and run the risk of contaminating the food, I shouldn’t have to tell you this.”

Curator Hutchinson flanks Daveed on the other side, seemingly more concerned.

“What exactly did you eat?”

“I swear it wasn’t mine! I found it on the floor! Carlson must’ve-”

“I’ll ask again, what was it that you ate?”

“It was just a snack sized [REDACTED] bar, it wasn’t that-”

Dr. Morse picks Daveed up by arm out of his chair and begins to pull him to the back of the lab.

“Doctor, lets run an experiment.”

Daveed is dragged by Morse to the back of the lab, terrorfied, as Curator Hutchinson follows. Joseph and Andre look at each other shocked.

Daveed: (Yelling) I ain’t doing this!

Dr. Morse: (Into the Mic) Inspect the candy, Daveed.

Daveed: What do you mean, inspect the candy? It's candy!

Dr. Morse: (Into the Mic) Walk over, and inspect the candy, Daveed.

Daveed: (Walks over to SCP-XXXX-A) There’s candy in the machine. What do you want!

Dr. Morse: (In the Mic) What kind of candy, Daveed.

Daveed: There’s [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED] it looks like, and- oh, oh shit! OH SHIT!

Dr. Morse: (Into the Mic) What’s the matter, Daveed.

Daveed: That’s the candy I ate! (Points to a [REDACTED] bar)

Dr. Morse: (Into the Mic) What you are pointing to, Daveed, is an instance of SCP-XXXX-B. If what you say is correct, then what you have consumed is not a “stupid piece of candy”, but an anomolous object.

Daveed: No! No! Please! I’m Sorry! I didn’t know! Please! Get me out! GET ME OUT!

(Daveed screams, which is cut short. A choking noise follows. Another voice is heard)

SCP-XXXX: EVERY MONSTER NEEDS A SCARY SMILE

(A ripping noise is heard followed by the screams of Daveed. The lights turn on. SCP-XXXX is standing over a bloodied Daveed, who is still screaming on the ground, writhing. In its claws it holds the remnants of Daveed’s cheek muscles. |l’It looks up at the lights, surprised, then at its surroundings till it sees the viewing deck window.)

Dr. Morse:Fascinating.

Dr. Gears: Interesting.

(SCP-XXXX slowly walks over to the window. It stares directly at Dr. Moore. Then it slams one of Daveeds cheeks against the plexiglass, making it shake. He then takes the cheeks and spells out the following with blood: I SEE YOU. After this, it slams an open palm on the window, leaving a bloody handprint.)

Caroline’s 4th Interview

Dr. Gears: How is your condition.

Caroline: I want to go home. (Sniffles)

Dr. Gears: Interesting. (makes note)

Dr. Morse: Start the experiment, Gears.

Dr. Gears: Affirmative. I will be proctoring another experiment that requires your participation. I will-

Caroline: (Whimpering) I want to go home.

Dr. Gears: You will be released upon completion of the experiment.

Caroline: I don’t want to do an experiment. I want to go home. (begins to cry)

Dr. Glass: We can’t go through with the test. She’s crumpling in there. Dr. Gears, just talk to her. Ask her why she wants to go home.

Dr. Morse: Glass, need I remind you that we have a limited amount of time? Carry on with the experiment, Gears.

Dr. Gears: Why do you want to go home.

Caroline: (bawling) I hate it here! I’m scared! I want my mommy!

Dr. Morse: Gears, go on with the experiment!

Dr. Glass: Ask her why she’s scared, doctor.

Dr. Gears: Why are you scared.

Caroline: (wiping her eyes) I don’t want the Devil to get me. I don’t want to smile. I just want to go home.

Dr. Morse: Gears! As your superior, I order you to start the experiment!

Dr. Glass: No! Don’t do the test! Ask her about the Devil!

Dr. Morse: If you don’t do what I say, I will have both of your jobs!

Dr. Gears: I cannot comply with your request.

Dr. Morse: Dammit Gears! I have strings in places you couldn’t imagine. I can just say the word and you both would disappear!

Caroline: (Yelling) No! No! No! No! I just want to go home! Let me go! Let me go! (Starts kicking and banging the table with her hands) I want mommy! I want mommy-y!

Dr. Morse: Congratulations Gears. You’ve pissed her off. Now we can’t do the experiment and we are nearly out of time.

Dr. Gears: Caroline. Desist screaming at once.

Caroline: (Still throwing a tantrum) You won’t let me go! You won’t let me go-o!

Dr. Gear: Caroline. Describe “The Devil”.

(Caroline stops screaming, looks wide-eyed at Dr. Gears, and starts to breathe heavier.)

Dr. Gears: I repeat. Describe “The Devil”.

Caroline: (Starts to rock back and forth) 5-3-9. 1-7-4. 8-2-6.

Dr. Morse: Give me one good reason I shouldn’t have you both expelled?

(Silence)

That’s what I thought. You were both out of line. Glass, you have been nothing but a pain in my ass for this entire operation. You defy my orders and actively turn others against me. Not only is this unprofessional, it is mutinous.

Dr. Glass: I stand by what I said yesterday. You are unfit to lead and you endanger everyone involved with SCP-XXXX.

Dr. Morse: I get results, doctor! What else does a leader need to do? End world peace? Solve the mysteries of the universe? It seems to me that your expectations from the leadership at Site-88 are clouding your judgement, doctor.

Dr. Glass: Clouding my judgement? I’m the only-

Dr.Morse: (Slams table) I’ve had it with your excuses, Glass!

(points to Gears)

And you! You disobeyed direct orders! I trusted you, Gears! You had a flawless track record until this point! What’s gotten into you, huh? Something upsetting your programming?

Dr. Gears: You asked for us to produce one reason against our possible termination. I have compiled three.

(puts a folder onto the table)

Dr. Morse: I’m listening.

|l’Dr. Gears: Reason one. You are not a real doctor.

Dr. Morse: (laughs) Oh really now?

Dr. Gears: Affirmative. According to your file you passed all your entrance tests flawlessly, the first in Foundation history according to the archives.

Dr. Morse: What of it?

Dr. Gears: I am the creator of the entrance tests. A perfect score occurring has the probability of less than 0.0000001%. The tests were engineered specifically for this. Preliminary investigations into you were inconclusive, so were investigations after that, and investigations after them. The Foundation ruled that you should be admitted to Site-88 despite this. The official statement said “No findings can prove anything wrong with Ms. Morse’s test scores, nor is there evidence suggesting test fraud or cheating of any kind”.

Dr. Morse: I know all this, Gears. I was there. Get to the point.

Dr. Gears: On August 13th, 2015, my computer systems were relocated to site-88 due to infrastructure update initiatives issued by the Foundation the summer of 2015. My files were converted to my new systems and the old ones were wiped, per instructions. This was carried out by a Cynthia MacIntosh, an IT department specialist. There are no records of this Cynthia MacIntosh in the Foundation databases. According to the foundation, she does not exist. This is not unusual.

Dr. Morse: Then why are we talking about this?

Dr. Gears: As a [REDACTED] I have access to files of non-existants and their current status. No records in that database have any reference to Cynthia MacIntosh. I have reviewed surveillance footage from the day that my systems were taken and wiped.

(places picture of Dr. Morse wearing an IT jacket and glasses)

You are Cynthia MacIntosh. You took my files regarding the entry tests to get the answers. You never downloaded them. You never uploaded them. How you did it is unknown. But in the eyes of the Foundation, this is enough to convict you.

Dr. Morse: I don’t think the Foundation could convict me if they tried. It’s hard to argue with results, doctor.

Dr. Gears: You are correct, your numbers are to your advantage. However, your methodology has been called into question more than once by the O-5 Council. Repeatedly, they have decided that your methods are evidence of your tenacity and creativity. If they were to discover, however, that you never passed your entrance tests, they might decide your actions are evidence of your inaptitude, not your creativity.

Dr. Morse: (pauses, then smiles mournfully) I’m impressed. But I should have expected as much.

Dr. Gears: Reason two. Both Dr. Glass and myself now know this information. In the event our termination from this project, and possibly the foundation, it is likely that this information will be uncovered and reviewed, and it is highly probable that it will result in your conviction. I do not have to remind you what the Foundation does to A-Class perpetrators once convicted.

Dr. Morse: No… You do not. (Smiles)’l|

Dr. Gears: Reason three. You need our assistance. We are both the highest rank in our fields. Logic necessitates our staying on the project.

Dr. Morse: Very well… My hands are tied.

Dr. Gears: … This does not compute. Your hands can be visually confirmed to not be tied.

Dr. Glass: It’s an expression, Dr. Gears.

Dr. Gears: I see… I seem to have been talking funny.

Dr. Glass: It's alright. |l’What I don’t understand is why we don’t just turn her in now? This project is a disaster and could look very bad on the Foundation.’l|

Dr. Gears: Dr. Morse has a 99% success rate.|l' Her methods are questionable and her success rate could be inflated by any number of accounts- after all, Morse, you have manipulated Foundation data before. I see no reason why you wouldn’t do it again. 'l| However, it is not likely that Site-88 could operate without her, and Site-88 is a valuable asset to the Foundation. |l’Thus, her immediate termination would be unlikely to provide any positive result.’l|

|l’Dr. Glass: So what? Let it fail! This project is a disaster!’l|

Dr. Morse: You do want Caroline to get better, don’t you Glass?

Dr. Glass: What kind of question is that? Of course I do!

|l’Dr. Morse: Let me tell you what will happen to Caroline if I get outed. First the Foundation will try to use Amnestics, but they won’t work and we both know that. Those scars can’t just be glossed over, and those memories will surface again. That makes Caroline a threat to Foundation secrecy. They will make her and her whole family disappear. If I go, so does Caroline.

Dr. Gears: Dr. Morse is correct. I do not believe that ending this project would benefit Caroline in any way

Dr. Morse: In other words, you need me around, Glass, or Caroline ceases to exist.

Dr. Glass:(Pauses) Fine. We’ll complete this project. But after that, your finished, Doctor!’l| In the meantime, Dr. Gears and I will be calling the shots now, understood?

Dr, Morse: Understood.

Dr. Glass: Good.

Experiment B

Experiment B - 3/27/2021

Subject: Subject-XXXX-1 is a Bos taurus¹⁰ collected from Mr. Johnson’s farm that the Foundation inherited after his subsequent disappearance. SCP-XXXX-B is known to prey on Bos taurus in the past, making Subject-XXXX-1 the perfect subject for this test.

Procedure:

1) live Subject will be left in Cell XXXX
2) Lights will be dimmed, simulating nocturnal conditions
3) Experimenter will start camera recording

Results: See notes below

09:56	Subject-XXXX-1 enters Cell XXXX, lights are dimmed, and recording starts.
10:03	Subject-XXXX-1 has a bowel movement
10:38	Subject-XXXX-1 has a bowel movement
10:42	SCP-XXXX-B (mist) diffuses from SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B circles Subject-XXXX-1. Subject-XXXX-1 remains calm.
10:43	SCP-XXXX-B (humanoid) approaches Subject-XXXX-1. Subject-XXXX-1 is provoked, and attempts to evade SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B remains stationary.
10:47	Subject-XXXX-1 calms. SCP-XXXX stretches out hand, palm up. Mist diffuses from SCP-XXXX-B’s arm. Mist solidifies into hay. SCP-XXXX-B approaches Subject-XXXX-1 with hay in hand. Subject-XXXX-1 backs away from SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B continues to approach. Subject-XXXX-1 smells the hay and begins to approach SCP-XXXX-B.
10:48	SCP-XXXX-B holds hay out to Subject-XXXX-1. Subject-XXXX-1 eats the hay. SCP-XXXX-B’s torso diffuses mist. Mist solidifies in front of Subject-XXXX-1 as a bale of hay. Subject-XXXX-1 eats hay bale. SCP-XXXX-B walks to Subject-XXXX-1’s left flank. SCP-XXXX-B strokes Subject-XXXX-1.
10:49	SCP-XXXX-X speaks to Subject-XXXX-1 in Latin. “(translated) I used to be like you. We were hunted, corralled, and harvested by them, just like you are. I promise to you I’ll make this right for both of us. I’ll give them the face they deserve. Only then they’ll see.” Subject-XXXX-1 continues to eat hay bale. Subject-XXXX-1 has a bowel movement.
10:50	SCP-XXXX-B pats Bos taurus’s neck. SCP-XXXX-X speaks in Old Arabic. “(translated) I’m sorry they have done this to you. It should not have happened this way.” SCP-XXXX-B uses fingernail to slash through the throat of the Subject-XXXX-1. Subject-XXXX-1 expires. SCP-XXXX-B uses fingernails to cut out pieces of Subject-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-B consumes pieces of Subject-XXXX-1.
11:01	SCP-XXXX-B picks up a piece of Subject-XXXX-1 and walks up to the viewing deck window. SCP-XXXX-B uses a piece of Subject-XXXX-1 to write the following: “RAW MEAT WILL SUFFICE”. SCP-XXXX-B (mist) gathers back to SCP-XXXX.
11:58	Camera stops recording.

Analysis:
This experiment has demonstrated that SCP-XXXX-B is able to take two forms: humanoid and mist.

In its humanoid form it stands 2.5 meters tall, though its spinal structure bends near its mid back, giving it a hunch. Its back lacks muscle definition, allowing vertebrae to be seen in protruding from the skin. Muscle mass overall is also low, though its physical strength is unknown. Its arm length is about 1.9, and its hands end in 5cm long fingernails. Its skin is akin to rawhide, being a pale yellow in color. Its head is circular and disproportionately large compared to its body structure. Its eyes protrude from its head, akin to a chameleon, and are completely independent from each other in regards to movement. The lips of its mouth are drawn back towards the nape of its neck, where they seem attached by an assortment of nails and screws. Its teeth are bare because of this, and it seems to lack control of its salivation. Its teeth are 10cm at the largest and canid in shape, though its teeth are aligned asymmetrically, with each tooth not matching any other in length or jaw position.

In its mist form it is able to travel at about 50kph. It’s vaporous form is opaque, allowing light to pass through it, exemplifying characteristics of fog. How exactly SCP-XXXX-B is able to propel itself in this state is unclear.This experiment has also proven that the instances of SCP-XXXX-A could be spontaneously generated by SCP-XXXX-B, due to SCP-XXXX-B’s capacity for spontaneous generation with its mist form.

SCP-XXXX-B displays high levels of intelligence, including knowledge of multiple human languages, the capacity to empathise and soothe Subject-XXXX-1, knowledge of the experimenters, and basic mammal anatomy. These traits alone make SCP-XXXX-B a well equipped predator, but mixed with its anomalous properties and no known weakness, SCP-XXXX-B may very well be an apex predator to not only animals, but also humans.

Its knowledge of Latin and Old Arabic suggests that SCP-XXXX-B’s lifetime stretches as far back as BC 700, if not further. Foundation linguists state that SCP-XXXX-B speaks these languages as if it were a native speaker, and not simply a scholar of the language. This would mean that SCP-XXXX-B would have had to have been alive around the foundation of the Roman Empire or earlier, when Latin was widely spoken. As to how it knows Old Arabic, this is unclear, but could possibly mean that SCP-XXXX-B predates the Roman Empire as well.

Other possible theories could be that SCP-XXXX-B is an all-knowing being or knowledge of multiple languages is yet another anomalous property. SCP-XXXX-B does not seem to be all-knowing by virtue of its ability to learn from the environment around it. Whether or not knowledge of dead languages is an anomalous property cannot be ruled out, though not very probable.

Who SCP-XXXX-B is referring to in its dialogue is unclear. SCP-XXXX-B could be referring to the Foundation and its own perceived imprisonment. But given the possibility that SCP-XXXX-B’s life span dates farther back in time than the Foundation does, it could be voicing a dislike for humans in general.

Overall, the experiment was a success.

Caroline’s 5th Interview

<Begin Log, March 27, 2021, 19:00>

(Dr. Gears walks into the room, places a box of crayons and a ream of paper on the table, making a loud thud, startling Caroline)

Dr. Gears: My apologies

(Dr. Gears sits)

Caroline, how is your condition.

Caroline: Mr. Gears, I don't want to do an experiment today.

Dr. Gears.: That is expected. Today we are not conducting an experiment. Instead, we will attempt to run a diagnostic process to help alleviate your mental fugue.

Dr. Glass: You’re talking funny again, doctor.

Dr. Gears: (eyes widen) My apologies, Caroline. It has occurred to me that I was… being funny.

Caroline: It's okay, I forgive you.

Dr. Gears: (nods, clears throat) Today, we are going to…color.

Caroline: (Excited) Really?

Dr. Gears: Yes. That is what I said. I have no reason to lie to you.

Caroline: (Grabs the crayon box) What are we going to draw?

Dr. Glass: Have her draw a family trip to the beach.

Dr. Glass: A family trip to the beach.

Caroline: Great!

(Caroline opens the box of crayons, grabs a sheet of paper, and begins drawing. Gears stares blankly around the room.)

Dr. Glass: Doctor, you should draw something as well.

Dr. Gears: Negatory, drawing is not compatible with my present initiative, which is to observe that patient.

Dr. Glass: That doesn’t make any sense, Dr. Gears.

Caroline: That’s too bad, Mr. Gears.

Dr. Gears: I do not understand what you mean.

Caroline: Drawing is so much fun! My brother and I would do it all the time!

Dr. Glass: Find out more about that. Ask her what they would draw.

Dr. Gears: (Places interlocked fingers on the table) What would you and your brother draw?

Caroline: All kinds of things. One time when we went to [REDACTED] we tried to draw the [REDACTED]. Daddy said he liked mine the best.

(Caroline smiles and brushes her hair behind her ear, revealing the scars)

Done!

(Caroline holds up her drawing, arms fully outstretched, to Gears)

Do you like it?

Dr. Gears: I do not. The strokes are random and thoughtless. The color palette is poorly coordinated. There is absolutely no shading or an attempt to contrast-

Dr. Glass: You oaf, just say you like it and move on! This isn’t the Louvre!

Dr. Gears: I like it.

Caroline: Yay!

(She places the picture on the table in front of Gears)

Look! There’s my dad and my mom underneath the umbrella having a picnic; there’s me making a sandcastle; and there’s Poochie - my dog - on a surfboard!

Dr. Glass: Interesting, ask her where her brother is in the picture

Dr. Gears: Where is your brother in the picture.

Caroline: (Her smile fades) My brother?

Dr. Gears: Affirmative.

Caroline: He’s… He’s not there. The Devil took him.

(She looks down at the floor, her hair covering her scars again.)

Dr. Glass: Ask her to draw where Peter is now.

Dr. Gears: Could you draw where Peter is now?

Caroline: Okay.

(Caroline picks up another piece of paper and begins to draw)

Dr. Glass: You should really draw something, Dr. Gears.

Dr. Gears: Very well but I’m not pleased with this development.

(Dr. Gears grabs a piece of paper)

Caroline, I have been told to draw something as well and require a drawing utensil.

Caroline: You mean a crayon?

Dr. Gears:Yes… a crayon.

(Caroline hands Dr. Gears a pink crayon. Dr. Gears begins drawing.)

Caroline: What are you drawing?

Dr. Gears: Benzene rings.

Caroline: Oh.

(Caroline continues drawing)

I’m done.

(Caroline, pushes her piece of paper to Dr. Gears. It is a picture of a gate surrounded by clouds with angels all around it. One angel has an arrow pointing to it with the word “Peter” beside it.)

Dr. Gears: I do not understand.

Caroline: It's heaven. That's where Peter is. You believe in heaven, don’t you Mr. Gears?

Dr. Glass: Oh no. For the love of God, don’t-

Dr. Gears: Heaven does not exist. It is simply an ancient, mental construct to satisfy human beings with the inevitability of death. All evidence suggests that no such thing has ever existed, in this realm or others. Thus it is impossible for Peter to be in heaven.

Caroline: But-but-but I’ve seen the Devil. If the Devil’s real, then heaven has to be real!

(Caroline begins to rock back and forth)

Dr. Glass: Okay, this is salvageable. Dr. Gears, ask her to draw the devil.

Dr. Gears: Could you draw the devil.

Caroline: I-I… I’ll try.

(She picks up a black crayon and begins drawing. Dr. Gears begins drawing again)

Okay…(quietly) here you go.

(Caroline hands Dr. Gears the drawing of SCP-XXXX’s face)

Dr. Morse: That’s all our time, Gears. Good work.

<End Log, March 27, 19:17>

March 28

Morning Debrief

<Begin Log, March 28, 2021, 9:00>

Dr. Morse: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but good work, gentlemen.

Dr. Glass: See! I know what I’m doing! Now we know what this “devil” looks like. From the picture and past descriptions, I believe we can begin piecing together some of SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties.

Dr. Morse: (Smiles) That’s right, doctor. Good work.

(Dr. Morse nods at Dr. Gears, smiling. Dr. Gears remains silent.)

What should be our new approach, Glass?

Dr. Glass: Well, I’m pleased with the progress Caroline’s made. She seems to be more confident and open now, and her coping mechanisms seem to be very effective. The only thing that’s really bothering me is that every time SCP-XXXX seems to come up, she seems to shut down. She’s been doing better, but still, there’s lingering trauma there.

Dr. Morse: What do you suggest we do?

Dr. Glass: Well, there’s a number of things we could do. With trauma like this, continued exposure to the trigger should slowly get rid of the negative reaction. The problem is, the trigger for Caroline is more conceptual than it is tangible, and the imagination can only go so far when it comes to healing.

(Dr. Glass folds his hands under his chin, deep in thought.)

Hold on! Hold on, I got it! I am either a genius or I’m insane, but this just might work!

Dr. Morse: What is it?

Dr. Glass: Do we know how to get SCP-XXXX out of the candy machine?

Dr. Morse: (looks at Dr. Gears) We have a theory.

Dr. Glass: Perfect! If we were able to safely get SCP-XXXX in the same room as Caroline, then we could possibly kill two birds with one stone.

Dr. Morse: How so?

Dr. Glass: Well, if we were able to expose Caroline to SCP-XXXX repeatedly, it might get rid of her negative response to it, which will improve her mental fortitude and thus emotional health. She could also benefit your research in this way, too.

Dr. Morse: As a matter of fact, she might. We do have reason to believe that SCP-XXXX might be able to communicate to subjects. I could give her a list of questions and she could act as an interviewer.

Dr. Glass: Perfect! The only thing is I need you to assure me that she will be safe. This is for her well being as well, not just for our research.

(Dr. Morse looks at Dr. Gears)

Dr. Morse: Do you think that's possible?

Dr. Gears: (Looking at Dr. Morse) Based on what we know of SCP-XXXX… (looks at Dr. Glass) It is possible…

Dr. Glass: Perfect! Let's get crackin’ then! (Smiles)

Dr. Morse: Yes. Let’s. (Smiles)

Incident XXXX

Experiment C Incident XXXX- 3/28/2021

Subject: Subject-XXXX-1 is Caroline ████████. Subject-XXXX-1 will serve two roles in this experiment. Its first role is to consume an instance of SCP-XXXX-A in order to observe SCP-XXXX-B’s behavior towards a subject it has already removed facial structure from. Subject-XXXX-1’s second role is to act as an interviewer during its exposure to SCP-XXXX-B if it survives initial contact, gathering valuable data first hand from SCP-XXXX-B.

Procedure:

1) Subject-XXXX-1 will be given a wireless earpiece, a list of questions, and two quarters.
2) Subject-XXXX-1 will enter Cell XXXX, insert quarters into SCP-XXXX and consume an instance of SCP-XXXX-A.
3) Lights will be dimmed.
4) Subject-XXXX-1 will begin interviewing SCP-XXXX-B if it survives initial contact.
5) In a case of emergency, a platoon of guards equipped with high powered rifles will be on standby to escort Subject-XXXX-1 to safety.

Results:

<Begin Log>

(Subject-XXXX-1 enters Cell XXXX.)

Dr. Glass: Alright, and we are sure this is safe?

Dr. Morse: Yes, the guards are on standby if anything starts to go south.

Dr. Glass: Alright, Dr. Gears, you may begin.

Dr. Gears: Affirmative. (To Subject-XXXX-1) Caroline. How is your condition.

Subject-XXXX-1: (through speaker) I’m scared, Mr. Gears.

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) I have been informed that this experiment is for your benefit. Our guards are on standby if the procedure begins to become dangerous. However, statistically speaking, failure of the experiment is not likely.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through speaker) O-okay.

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) You may begin describing what you see in front of you.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through speaker) Um…There’s a candy machine… And that’s it.

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Good. Approach the object.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through speaker) The machine, right?

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Affirmative.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) Okay. (Approaches SCP-XXXX) Oh…It’s this candy machine. (Runs hand over SCP-XXXX’s inscription- “Guaranteed to Make You Smile!”- and shudders.)

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Insert quarters into object.

Dr. Glass: Are the guards ready?

Dr. Morse: They just need the go-ahead.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) Mr. Gears, I’m not sure I want to do this.

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) I repeat, this experiment is for your benefit. Insert quarters into object.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) O-okay. (Inserts quarters.)

(An Instance of SCP-XXXX-A falls through the flap and onto the floor)

Oops.

(Subject-XXXX-1 picks up Instance of SCP-XXXX-A)

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Describe the object.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) The candy?

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Affirmative.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) Um… It’s a [REDACTED] bar. It’s small… and brown.

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Good. Consume the object.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) But-But, Mr. Gears, that’s how the Devil got out last time. (Begins to shake)

(Dr. Gears looks back to Dr. Morse and Dr. Glass. Both nod. Dr. Gears resumes.)

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Consume the object, Caroline.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers, shaking) 1-9-5, 1-4-3, 2-8-6… (Stops shaking,takes deep breath, unravels Instance of SCP-XXXX-A, and consumes instance of SCP-XXXX-A).

Dr. Morse: Alright, dim the lights.

Dr. Gears: Affirmative.

(Dr. Gears dims the lights. Subject-XXXX-1 shrieks out)

Dr. Glass: Remind her we are still right here. It should calm her.

Dr. Gears: (Nods, to Subject-XXXX-1) I have been told to remind you that the experimenters are still present with you. There is no reason to be alarmed. This is all a part of the experiment.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) Mr. Gears, I don’t want to do this anymore! (begins to cry)

(SCP-XXXX-B (mist) diffuses out of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-B begins to circle Subject-XXXX-1. Subject-XXXX-1 stops crying and its breathing intensifies.)

1-5-8, 3-4-5, 2-6-9

(SCP-XXXX-B (humanoid) appears in front of Subject-XXXX-1)

SCP-XXXX-B: (Chuckles, through speakers) I BELIEVE WE’VE MET, LITTLE ONE.

Dr. Glass: I don’t like it, send the guards in.

Dr. Morse: No, no, hold on. Let’s let this play out. We don’t know if she’s under any threat yet.

Dr. Glass: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Caroline, begin the interview.

(Subject-XXXX-1 remains stationary and wide eyed, maintaining eye contact with SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B begins to circle Subject-XXXX-1)

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) CURIOUS. I’VE NEVER HAD ONE OF YOU FREAKS CRAWL BACK TO ME. TELL ME, DID THE DEVILS BEHIND THE GLASS PUT YOU UP TO THIS?

Subject-XXXX-1:(Through Speakers) 1… 9… 2…,6… 3…-

SCP-XXXX-B:(Through Speakers) COUNTING. THAT’S ADORABLE. IT GOES WELL WITH YOUR SMILE. (Chuckles, pulls back Subject-XXXX-1’s hair, revealing its scars) WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. THEY SEWED YOU BACK UP. IS THAT WHY YOU CAME BACK? SO I COULD PUT A SMILE BACK ON YOUR FACE?

Subject-XXXX-1: (Closes eyes, Through Speakers) Wh-where’s….My… Br-brother.

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through speakers) OH, YES, THAT’S RIGHT. THERE WERE TWO OF YOU RUNTS THAT TOOK CANDY FROM MY MACHINE. I GUESS HE DIDN’T MAKE IT, DID HE?

(Subject-XXXX-1 begins crying)

SCP-XXXX-B:(Through Speakers) HM. I GUESS NOT. THAT’S TOO BAD. THE TWO OF YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT TOGETHER. I REMEMBER THINKING HIS SMILE LOOKED THE MOST LIKE MINE. IT’S A SHAME THE WORLD DIDN’T GET TO SEE IT.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) Please! I want my brother back!

SCP-XXXX-B: OH, COME NOW, YOU MAKE ME THINK YOU’VE FORGOTTEN WHAT I TOLD YOU. DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU THAT NIGHT?

(Subject-XXXX-1 nods)

NO, NO, I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT.

(Subject-XXXX-1 shakes head)

SAY IT, YOU FREAK!

Subject-XXXX-1: (Bawling, Through Speakers) I’m the monster! I’m the monster-er!

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) AND WHY ARE YOU THE MONSTER, LITTLE ONE?

Subject-XXXX-1: (Bawling, Through Speakers) I wanted to smile!

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) YES! YOU AND THE OTHER PESTS! ALL YOU DO IS MAKE LIVING A LITERAL HELL FOR EVERYTHING AROUND YOU! THE EARTH GROANS UNDERNEATH YOUR WEIGHT! AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO WANT TO SMILE!

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) I want my mommy!

SCP-XXXX-B: DO NOT SPEAK TO ME ABOUT FAMILY! I HAVE WONDERED THIS EARTH SEARCHING OUT THE REMNANTS OF MY KIND AFTER YOUR RELIGIOUS MYSTICS SLAUGHTERED US BY THE THOUSANDS, CALLING US DEMONS AND MONSTERS! I AM THE ONLY SURVIVOR! WHAT HAD WE DONE TO DESERVE THIS? NOTHING!

Subject-XXXX-1: (Through Speakers) Please stop!

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) IT IS NOT I WHO NEEDS TO STOP! OR DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT YOUR FACE HAS A MEANING? IS NOT YOUR SMILE MY OWN?

(Points to its neck)

DO YOU SEE THESE NAILS? WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT THESE NAILS WERE MADE SO THAT I COULD BE LIKE YOU INSECTS? SO I TOO COULD SMILE? BUT NO! A SMILE ON ANY OTHER FACE CREATES A MONSTER! I TRIED PEACE, BUT YOU CAST ME OUT! SO NOW I SPEAK YOUR LANGUAGE: WAR! I DESPISE YOUR SMILES! I DESPISE YOUR HAPPINESS! SO I WILL CREATE MORE FREAKS LIKE YOU, AND GIVE THEM THE SMILE THEY DESERVE: THE SMILE OF A MONSTER!

Subject-XXXX-1: (Bawling, Through Speakers) I didn’t do anything! I just wanted candy!

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) DID YOU NOT WANT TO BE HAPPY? DID YOU NOT WANT TO SMILE AS YOU MAKE EVERYONE ELSE SUFFER!

Subject-XXXX-1: (Bawling, Assumes fetal position on the floor. Through Speakers) No! I just wanted candy! I just want my brother back!

(Subject-XXXX-1 bawls in the fetal position. SCP-XXXX-B stands over her.)

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND MY PAIN.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Bawling, Through Speakers) You killed my brother!

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) GOOD. HE’D THANK ME HE GOT OFF THIS HELLISH PLANET. HE’D BE USED, JUST LIKE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW! DO YOU REALLY THINK THOSE PEOPLE BEHIND THE GLASS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU? YOU’RE JUST A MONSTER TO THEM TOO. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY PUT YOU IN HERE WITH ME? THEY’D DO THE SAME WITH A RAT.

(SCP-XXXX-1 begins to back away from SCP-XXXX-B)

YES. SCUTTLE OFF LITTLE RAT, BUT THEY WON’T SAVE YOU. LET’S PUT A SMILE BACK ON THAT FACE OF YOURS.

Dr. Glass: Oh my God. Oh my God! Get her out of there!

Dr. Morse: (Into a walkie-talkie) Code Blue, send them in.

Dr. Gears: (To Subject-XXXX-1) Be advised, guards are on their way to evacuate you.

Subject-XXXX-1: (Standing up, Through Speakers) Help! Somebody help me!

(SCP-XXXX-B (mist) travels past Subject-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-B (humanoid) appears in front of Subject-XXXX-1, blocking its way to the door.)

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING, LITTLE RAT?

(SCP-XXXX-B moves towards Subject-XXXX-1. The pressurised door opens and the guards enter.)

Squad Leader: (Through Speakers) Freeze! Step away from the girl!

(Guards aim their weapons at SCP-XXXX-B, who is blocking their path to Subject-XXXX-1)

SCP-XXXX-B: (Chuckles, reaches into Subject-XXXX-1’s mouth. Through Speakers) EVERY MONSTER NEEDS A SCARY SMILE.

Squad Leader: (Through Speakers) Open fire!

(SCP-XXXX-B tenses and its body begins having mist diffuse off of it. The guards open fire. The bullets appear to pass through SCP-XXXX-B (humanoid/mist) , and hit Subject-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 expires, and is severely dismembered by the high powered rifles.)

Dr. Glass: Oh my God, they’re blowing her apart!

(Dr. Glass pushes Dr. Gears away from the speakers)

(Yelling into the microphone) Cease fire! Cease fire, God dammit!

(Guards ceasefire. Mist stops coming off of SCP-XXXX-B (humanoid) . SCP-XXXX-B holds the remains of Subject-XXXX-1 its head -and turns towards the guards.)

SCP-XXXX-B: (Through Speakers) NICE KILL, FREAKS.

(SCP-XXXX-b tosses Subject-XXXX-1’s head in front of the guards. One guard vomits. SCP-XXXX-B walks towards the viewing deck. It writes in Subject-XXXX-1’s blood “YOU ARE THE MONSTERS”. It then returns to SCP-XXXX).

Dr. Morse: (Smiling) I’d call that a success.

<End Log>

Analysis:
The experiment revealed many things previously unknown about SCP-XXXX-B.

It seems that SCP-XXXX-B’s hostility comes from a belief that humans are “Monsters”. According to SCP-XXXX-B, wanting happiness while other things are suffering is the root of humans being monsters. SCP-XXXX-B believes itself at war with humans. It can be hypothesised that SCP-XXXX thus acts as an ambush tactic with SCP-XXXX-B using instances of SCP-XXXX-A as bait. This would explain SCP-XXXX-B’s fixation on smiling that is displayed in its mutilation and on SCP-XXXX.

This experiment also revealed a never before seen anomalous property of SCP-XXXX-B. It seems that SCP-XXXX-B’s mist form can be engaged while it is in its humanoid form to allow objects to pass through SCP-XXXX-B while it is in its humanoid form.

It seems that there has been more of its kind in the past, so a foundation investigation is recommended.

On an unrelated note, reassignment for the guards involved with the experiment is also recommended.

Overall, this experiment was a success.

Emergency Meeting

<Begin Log, March 28, 2021, 19:47>

(Dr. Gears and Dr. Glass sit in the room alone. Gears stares down at the ground, while Glass is rocking back, wringing his hands, and shaking)

Dr. Glass: Oh my God… Oh my God… Oh my God…

(Dr. Morse walks into the room)

Dr. Morse: Is there a particular reason you called this meeting, Glass? Curator Hutchinson and I have details we need to discuss ASAP.

Dr. Glass: She-She-She’s dead. We killed her. We killed her!

Dr. Morse: These things happen. But we got what we wanted, so don’t beat yourself up. The experiment was a success and I’ll see to it you get the proper commendations you deserve.

Dr. Glass: (Stands up, knocking chair over.) A Success! Caroline’s dead! DEAD! Do you get that! Do you understand what that means!

Dr. Morse: Doctor Glass, compose yourself. I know how death works. I don’t need a raving lunatic to explain it to me.

Dr. Glass: So you’re okay with this!?

Dr. Morse: Of course I’m okay with this. People die all the time, and we are normally the ones who get them killed.

Dr. Glass: No! NO! We get convicts killed! We get homeless people killed! This was a child! A CHILD! She had a family!

Dr. Morse: Oh please, and the homeless people and convicts don’t? You’re not making any sense, doctor. Now, is there something we need to discuss, or are you just wasting my time?

Dr. Glass: (Quietly) You’re sick.

Dr. Morse: (Chuckles, Smiles) Yes, one could call me a monster.

Dr. Glass: (Quietly) I swear to God, I will end you, you heartless freak.

Dr. Morse: Careful, you’re beginning to sound like XXXX. Besides, this experiment was your idea. I’m not the one who insisted on putting a child in a room with an extremely dangerous anomalous object.

Dr. Glass: You assured me she will be safe! You gave the go ahead! You said you knew that- Oh my God. Oh my God! You knew! YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!

Dr. Morse: (Smiles) I can neither confirm or deny.

Dr. Glass: You used her like bait! You wanted her to get killed! You wanted to see that monster in action!

Dr. Morse: Again, I can neither confirm or deny. But if that were the case, so what? That’s the job, doctor. Or have you forgotten where your loyalties lie?

Dr. Glass: Don’t threaten me! I could destroy your entire career!

Dr. Morse: Yes, yes, very cute. However, if it were to get out that the original intent of the experiment was to keep the girl alive and to possibly build a relationship with the object, then the experiment- your experiment -would appear to be a catastrophic failure. The Foundation does not tolerate failure, doctor. Or do I need to remind you what they do to failures? I would hate for that information to get out.

Dr. Glass: Sure, but Gears can still destroy you.

Dr. Morse: I doubt that, since he was implicated with you. Remember? I’m the bad guy. The two of you were in charge of this experiment. This is on you. My hands are clean.

Dr. Glass: No. No! I was trying to help her! (Grabs his hair) I was just trying to help her!

Dr. Morse: Maybe that’s where you went wrong. (Chuckles) The two of you are formally dismissed from this project. Your help is no longer required. Gather your things and be gone by morning. You have done a great service to Site-88 and the Foundation. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have pressing matters to attend to.

(Dr. Morse leaves the room. Dr. Glass is still pulling his hair, pacing)

Dr. Glass: I’m not the bad guy…I’m not the bad guy…I’m not the bad guy… I was just trying to help her, Dr. Gears. You have to believe me! I’m not a monster! I’m not! You believe me…don’t you?

Dr. Gears: (looking at the ground) Do you think I talk funny?

Dr. Hutchinson’s message

Dr. Morse,

We have a problem. Jar XXXX-B-013 is missing from Safe XXXX-B. Please advise.

-Lab Curator Hutchinson

Dr. Morse's reply

Hutchinson,

Go through all files in the project folders pertaining to SCP-XXXX and redact all company names mentioned. There is no reason they should be informed about this development. It would only cause panic. Candy should be strictly prohibited in the Foundation until the jar is located. Until the jar is located, this information should remain between the two of us.
